Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Birthday Invitation (5)
Translator: 549690339
Only a line of hedges separated the Gregorysā Villa from the Burtonsā Mansion.
From both yards, one could clearly see into the otherās.
So, not only was Ruby Gregory close with Steve Burton, but she knew all of the Burtonsā family members well, from the old to the young.
On this Saturday morning, Ruby woke up early. From the second-floor balcony, she could see the lines of luxury cars parked at the Burton Mansion.
Last night, Ruby had made a point to note that the car Steve drove back to the mansion was a Porsche.
After breakfast, Ruby went upstairs again to glance at the Burtonās parking lot. Upon seeing that Steveās Porsche was gone, she brushed her teeth, put on some sky-blue sportswear and went downstairs.
In the backyard of the Gregorysā home, two rows of vegetables were growing. Since it was harvest season, Ruby picked out some fresh vegetables, had the maid pack them into a basket, and headed to the Burtonsā.
The Burton Mansion was still staffed by the old servants from three years ago.
Upon seeing Ruby, they stopped in their tracks and greeted, āMs. Gregory.ā
One hurriedly led Ruby into the mansion, crying out anxiously, āMaāam,
Maāam!ā
āWhatās the matter that youāre in such a flurry?ā a melodious voice came from across the door as it was pushed open.
āMaāam, itās Ms. Gregory,ā replied the servant. freewebnov(e)l.com
Ruby thought it a coincidence. She was here to see Wenny Burton, Steveās elder sister. ššššššš«š£šš«ššµ.š¬šš
Upon seeing Ruby, Wenny was slightly surprised, then asked, āRuby, you really came back?ā
Ruby gave a slight smile and lifted the vegetables in her hand, saying, āOur backyard garden is ripe for picking, weāve got an abundance and canāt possibly eat it all. My mother asked me to bring some over for you.ā
āAunt Gregory is always so considerate.ā Wenny moved to the side and said, āCome in quickly.ā
Ruby handed the vegetables over to a servant and followed Wenny into the house.
The decor of the Burtonsā home had all changed from three years ago when she left. It was now much more luxurious and grandiose.
Wenny gestured Ruby to sit and asked a servant to prepare tea, saying, āThis is green tea freshly brought from West Lake. It has quite a fragrant scent, you should try it.ā
āThank you.ā Ruby responded politely, lifted the teacup, and took a symbolic sip.
āWhile ago, I heard you returned, but I hadnāt seen you and thought it was only a rumor.ā
Ruby smiled at Wenny and put the teacup back on the table.
āRuby, how have you been in Costa Luna these past three years?ā When Wenny asked this, she hesitated slightly. Finally, she lowered her voice and said, āIām really sorry about what happened three years ago..ā
