To the Love of My Life

Chapter 137 - 137: 137: Pregnancy’s Little Thoughts (11)

The thought had just crossed Steve Burton’s mind when he recalled the graph chart of safe and fertile period he had just seen. He clicked on the “return” icon and saw that today marked the ovulation—a day with the highest chance of conceiving in a month.

Having returned from his Bolivia business trip, this was his fourth consecutive day working overtime. In the past three days, Ruby had never shown up in front of him. However, today, she suddenly appeared with food. Coincidentally, today was the day when Ruby’s chances of getting pregnant were the highest.

Countless things suddenly made sense in Steve’s mind.

It turned out that Ruby’s appearance in his office tonight was not because she cared about his health, noticing that he hadn’t eaten dinner, and decided to bring him a late-night snack.

It turned out that Ruby’s initiative to massage his aching neck was not out of genuine concern for his exhaustion and fatigue.

As it turned out, Ruby had an ulterior motive for everything she did. Very well, that was just like the undaunted, ruthless Ruby Gregory who seemingly did everything for his benefit but had hidden meanings behind her actions.

All those years, Ruby did everything for him, memorized every aspect of his life, not because she cared, cherished, or loved him, but because she wanted him to give her and the Gregorys even greater wealth and honor!

Steve’s expression turned cold as ice. He shifted his gaze from his phone to Ruby’s sleeping face after a long while, staring at her delicate features. Suddenly, he smirked and began to laugh.

No wonder she became so shy and flustered in front of him.

No wonder she forced herself to make love with him even when she didn’t want to.

No wonder that during their third touch tonight, she wanted to resist but eventually accepted it.

It turned out that she didn’t want him tonight; she wanted his child.

Just like all the other women who admired and approached him, she was after his immense wealth!

Hadn’t he always known this?

But why was it that he so easily fell for her gestures of goodwill, then sunk into them without any hesitation or defense?

He was foolish. Her kindness made him lose all his ability to think.

He was too desperate, longing for her love to be genuine.

All along, he had no defenses against her.

Because he loved her too much, he easily disarmed all his defenses.

Steve felt as if something was stuck in his throat, and waves of bitterness rose from the bottom of his heart.

It seemed that the lesson from the incident three years ago was not brutal or painful enough!
