To the Love of My Life

Chapter 139 - 139: 139: Pregnancy’s Little Thoughts (13)

No lights were on in the bedroom, making the room seem somewhat dim.

Because Ruby had slept for so long, her mind was somewhat foggy, unable to make out what time it was.

She held onto the blanket, sitting up from the bed. She was about to turn on the light when she saw a silhouette sitting on the sofa in front of the French windows of the bedroom.

Although the room was somewhat dim, Ruby could faintly make out the silhouette’s noble aura through the dimness.

It was the distinctive aura that Steve Burton possessed from birth.

Ruby vaguely saw that the man was holding something in his hand, knocking on the coffee table in front of the sofa, producing weak and high-pitched sounds repeatedly.

Whether because the room was too dark, or because Ruby was somewhat afraid of Steve at the moment. The rhythmic sound made a thread of fear rise in her heart.

Ruby moved slightly, still holding onto the blanket. She saw Steve’s head slowly turn towards her. Although she couldn’t see his eyes, she knew his gaze had landed on her.

After waiting for a while and he didn’t say anything, Ruby couldn’t bear the silence and quietly asked, “What time is it now?”

About half a minute later, came Steve’s usual indifferent voice: “Half past eight. ”

Half past eight? So late?

Ruby frowned, instinctively picking up her mobile phone. As expected, she saw several missed calls from the Gregorys.

Ruby swallowed, then asked again, “Have all the secretaries left work yet?”

But this time, Steve didn’t answer her question.

Ruby waited for a while, knowing that Steve had no plans to entertain her. She couldn’t possibly stay in Steve’s office forever. Thus, Ruby spoke up again, saying, “I’ll go check. If there’s no one else, I should go home.”

As she spoke, Ruby lifted the blanket. Before her foot even touched the ground, suddenly the man’s slightly lower voice came, “Are you planning to leave like this?”

What did he mean by that? Was he asking her not to leave?

Ruby turned her head, looking towards Steve, who was now just a shadowy figure.

Steve tossed the box he was holding onto the coffee table, then stood up and slowly walked towards the bed.

As he got closer, Ruby faintly felt a pressure accompanying him.

Her heartbeat gradually sped up.

Steve’s footsteps stopped in front of Ruby. As he got closer, Ruby could see, with the help of the dim light in the room, a hint of brightness in the depth of the man’s dark eyes..
