Chapter 811: Chapter 811: Overbearing CEO Falls for the Delicate Wife (11)_1
When Ruby Gregory repeated those words, she distinctly noticed that the three women who had been gushing over Steve Burton immediately turned to look at her.
Slowing her pace, Ruby continued to talk on the phone for a moment and then hung up a call that was never actually dialed. Then one of the three women called out to her, inquiring if she was the woman who’d been proposed to at the Grand Capital Hotel.
The purpose of Ruby’s boasting about Steve Burton’s affection was to dispel any fantasies the three women might have harbored about him.
In fact, this kind of boasting truly delighted Ruby deep down, but just as she was savoring it, not having reached the peak of her elation, she was caught red-handed by Steve Burton.
The joy in Ruby’s heart popped like a balloon pricked by a needle, dissipating completely. She turned into a bundle of embarrassment and quickly bid the three women–who were now completely entranced by Steve Burton–an awkward farewell before hurrying to his side.
Steve Burton stood elegantly in place, and although he did not know why Ruby had felt the need to flaunt his affection to those three women, he was always ready to support her in whatever she enjoyed doing. So when Ruby approached him, he gently reached out to tidy her hair with tender care, took her handbag and, holding her hand, turned to leave.
...
Embarrassed, Ruby did not dare look at the man beside her as they left The Sapphire Bistro, feeling her cheeks grow hotter by the second.
Since both Steve Burton and Ruby had consumed alcohol, they couldn’t drive. Steve called their driver to pick them up from The Sapphire Bistro.
Now, as the night was just right, Steve, while waiting for the driver, held Ruby’s hand as they slowly strolled along the sidewalk by the road.
The summer night breeze was gentle, but it did nothing to dissipate the embarrassing flush on Ruby’s face. Unwillingly, she tightened her grip on Steve’s hand.
Steve felt the strength of her grip and turned to look at her. Under the night sky, her face was flushed with a mix of nervousness and insecurity. An involuntary layer of soft amusement appeared in his eyes. He knew Ruby was embarrassed about being caught boasting and, with lips curved in a smile and a tone as cool as the night yet laced with warmth, he said, “Ruby, the way you just boasted was not right.”

Was he criticizing her? Ruby’s head drooped down even more, and she gripped Steve’s hand tighter.
Looking at her fluffy hair hanging down, Steve felt an immense tenderness and, lifting his hand, gently ruffled her long hair before continuing, “You should’ve told them I like to buy two of everything my husband Steve Burton likes, rather than just saying my husband will buy me two of everything.”
Ruby’s head shot up, blinking at Steve with an incredulous look.
He wasn’t blaming her for boasting at all… Moreover, the response he suggested seemed much more dominating and powerful than hers.
My husband Steve Burton… How those words filled her heart with sheer delight.
[I don’t think there’s anything disgusting about Ruby boasting like that~ And I always write these sweet and endearing scenes, so if they are not to your taste, please go around~]
