Chapter 813: Chapter 813: Overbearing CEO Falls for the Delicate Wife (13)_1

Ruby Gregory only said one thing, “Steve, when you were settling the bill, I went to the restroom, and then, while washing my hands, I ran into Edric Reat.”

Ruby brought up Edric so casually that even she herself didn’t realize she had mentioned him until after the fact. Then, she thought back to the scene where she encountered Edric:

When Ruby came out of the ladies’ restroom, Edric happened to come out from the men’s at the same time. Edric paused for a moment and then called out Ruby’s name: “Ruby.”

With a warm smile, Ruby naturally greeted Edric back and then headed to the sink to turn on the tap.

Edric stood behind Ruby, watching her for quite a while before taking steps towards her, reaching another sink to wash his hands, somewhat absentmindedly. Just as Ruby turned off the tap, Edric also raised his hand to turn off his. He took a paper towel, dried his hands, and at the moment he threw it into the trash can, Ruby spoke to him, “Goodbye.”

Edric responded with a “Goodbye,” then watched Ruby’s retreating figure. In the end, he couldn’t help but call out to stop Ruby from leaving.

...

Ruby hesitated, turning her head back to look at Edric’s face, which reflected the happiness Steve brought her.

Edric simply felt as if something was clogging his throat, making him extraordinarily uncomfortable. It took a great effort for him to make a sound: “Ruby, I might not be able to attend your wedding.”

Ruby’s expression froze slightly: “What’s the matter?”

Edric smiled faintly, his tone calm yet tinged with sadness, “I sent an email last month applying to work abroad for the head office in Costa Luna. A few days ago, I received a reply; I might have to go abroad soon.

Edric paused then added, “I might not come back after that.”

Without waiting for Ruby to speak, Edric smiled and said, “So, Ruby, I’ll just wish you a happy marriage in advance.”

After saying that, Edric didn’t wait for Ruby to respond. He walked past her and left the restroom.

He didn’t even leave her a goodbye.

This was the first time in his life that he had said farewell to Ruby and was the one to leave first.

In the past, it was always him watching her back.

Ruby leaned on Steve’s shoulder, thinking of Edric’s departing figure, and suddenly felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart.

She truly held no romantic feelings for Edric in her heart. Perhaps before Edric helped her hide The Triplets’ real identity, he hadn’t left much of an impact in her life.

But now that Edric was leaving, never to return, she discovered she felt a sad discomfort, as if she had lost a good friend.

With this thought, Ruby couldn’t help but speak up again: “Steve, Edric told me he’s going to Costa Luna and he might never come back.”

Steve sensed the melancholy in Ruby’s words and his expression subtly shifted to a more somber one. With his back to Ruby, he remained silent, not picking up the conversation about Edric.
