Chapter 613: Chapter 613: A Virtue Called Sharing (3)
There’s always that one person whose words you can’t help but keep close to your heart, remembering them clearly. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Steve Burton couldn’t help but do one thing after another for Ruby Gregory, all the while thinking that he shouldn’t disturb her.
On the day he returned from Lilliput, Steve asked Ms. Taylor to buy a few cans of foreign-brand formula that Ruby had been looking for during their last supermarket visit.
His flight was scheduled to leave Lilliput at 9 a.m., and after over ten hours in the air, he arrived in Ciawell at noon.
Steve went back to his office to deal with the accumulated paperwork from his trip and received an intercom call from Russell Henris in the evening, inviting him to attend a charity banquet. After considering, Steve declined and went home at 6 p.m.
After taking a shower and changing into casual clothes, he noticed the formula he brought back for Ruby as he tossed his dirty laundry into the hamper.
Steve checked the time, and it was 8 p.m., an hour before Ruby finished her shift at the Gardenia Clubhouse.
He hesitated for a moment, then grabbed his car keys and the formula he bought for Ruby, and drove straight to the Gardenia Clubhouse.
That night, Ruby and Steve had communicated via Twitter, and she was surprised and happy to see his car waiting outside the Clubhouse after her shift.
Ruby got into the passenger seat and glanced at the night scenery before turning to look at Steve. “When did you get back?” she asked.
“I arrived in Ciawell this afternoon.” Steve checked the rearview mirror, turned the car around, and parked in front of Ruby’s apartment.
As Ruby got out of the car, Steve also got out and handed her a big paper bag from the backseat. “I brought this for you.”
“What is it?” Ruby asked, peering into the bag and seeing the prenatal formulas that she couldn’t find at home. Her expression stiffened, remembering her casual complaint during their supermarket trip.
She had never realized that he would take her words to heart.
The depths of Ruby’s heart felt heavy. Steve had been kind to her before, like rescuing her from a kidnapping attempt and taking care of her in the hospital, just as he was now. She was moved by his kindness.
But she couldn’t understand why he could be so good to her while still giving her long-term contraceptives.
Besides, when he was good to her, he was really good, but when he turned his face, he was ruthless.
How long could his kindness towards her last this time?
Would it be like before when she herself did not know where she went wrong, and he got cruel to her again?
Steve noticed Ruby’s silence and frowned. “What’s wrong?” he asked.
