Chapter 614: Chapter 614: A Virtue Called Sharing (4)

Ruby Gregory heard Steve Burton’s voice and quickly pulled herself out of her thoughts. She raised her head, shook it at Steve, and then smiled gracefully at him: “Thank you for bringing back the baby formula from Lilliput.”

The paper bag was a bit heavy, and Ruby, with her big belly, struggled to carry it. When she took it from Steve’s hands, she almost fell to the ground due to the weight of the formula. In the end, Steve carried the bag for her and accompanied her back home.

It was Steve’s first time visiting the house where Ruby and Edric Reat lived. He felt a bit nervous and uncomfortable deep in his heart.

Ruby felt conflicted in her mind as she thought about Steve’s kindness towards her.

So, there wasn’t much conversation between the two on the way home.

Upon exiting the elevator, Ruby took out her keys and unlocked the door.

After receiving Ruby’s invitation, Steve didn’t hurry inside. Instead, he first stood at the door and glanced inside. The furniture was simple, but the room was clean. There were only two pieces of Ruby’s clothes hanging on the balcony, and there were no awkward scenes, like their underwear hanging together as he had feared earlier. Then, he finally stepped into Ruby’s home.

Following Ruby’s instructions, Steve placed the maternity formula on the coffee table in the living room.

Ruby poured Steve a glass of boiled water, then went into the kitchen.

She would always be hungry when coming back from work, so before leaving for work, she would put soup, porridge, and dishes in a steam cooker set to a timer. By the time she got home, her meal would be ready.

Today was no different. Ruby was starving, so after she handed Steve his glass of water, she ran into the kitchen and opened the steam cooker.

Ruby’s kitchen was an open-style kitchen, so the aroma of the steamed dishes quickly wafted from the kitchen into the living room.

Steve held his glass of water, turned his head to look at Ruby, and saw her adding some salt to the steamed dishes and soup.

Just from the smell alone, Steve’s heart filled with happiness. But when he thought about how Edric could eat her dishes every day, he felt a bitter taste rising in his heart.

When Ruby brought the dishes to the dining table, she noticed Steve sitting on the sofa. Feeling a bit embarrassed to eat alone, she asked, “Are you hungry? Would you like some?”

There was a strange light that flickered in Steve’s eyes, and he nodded without speaking, placed down his glass, and walked over to the dining table.

Ruby handed him a pair of chopsticks and a bowl, then sat down across from him. Pointing at the dishes, she said, “It’s a bit plain. You might not be used to it.”

Steve took a bite with his chopsticks, and indeed, the taste wasn’t extraordinary. However, he chewed slowly and deliberately before finally swallowing the food. He then looked up at Ruby and asked, “When did you learn to cook?”

Ruby paused while chewing on her food, swallowed it, and then lowered her eyes, whispering, “When I was in Costa Luna, I really wanted to eat Chinese food, so I had to learn how to cook it.”

Her trip to Costa Luna was all his doing.

Her words felt like a slap in Steve’s face.

Steve’s expression stiffened for a moment, and after a while, he said, “This is the first time I’m eating your cooking. It’s really good.”

Steve tried to lighten the mood, but Ruby, who sat across from him, paused with her chopsticks after hearing his comment. Her lips moved for a while before she finally looked up at Steve and said, “Actually, I cooked a meal for you once before, but you didn’t eat it.”
