To the Love of My Life

Chapter 179 - 179: 179: Crying herself into unconsciousness (25)

It turned out that Mr. Burton’s frequent visits to his old house were because of Ms. Gregory… The driver had been working for the Burtons for a long time and had often driven Steve and Ruby Gregory, so he instantly understood the true intentions of Steve. The driver glanced at Steve through the rearview mirror and respectfully turned the steering wheel, driving the car through the entrance of The Gregorys’.

The Gregorys’ courtyard was empty, and the long-standing European style lamps on both sides of the corridor seemed a bit outdated. Under the shroud of the sunset, they cast a thin layer of golden light.

The car parked steadily in front of The Gregorys’ Villa, the driver got out of the car and opened the door for Steve. As Steve got out, the driver habitually walked to the front door of The Gregorys’, and just as he was about to press the doorbell, Steve, standing nearby, suddenly said, “I’ll do it.”

The driver instinctively looked at Steve, respectfully stepped back, and got back into the car.

Steve stood at the entrance for a while before reaching out and pressing the doorbell on the wall.

About half a minute later, the door was pushed open by a servant who had been working at The Gregorys’ for many years. Seeing Steve, she looked slightly surprised. After a pause, she quickly stepped aside and led Steve into the living room. Once he was seated, she quickly went into the kitchen, made a cup of coffee, and brought it to him, saying, “Mr. Steve, I will go upstairs and call Madam and Ms. Gregory down.”

Ruby had been on edge since waking up early in the morning, but now she felt more at ease. Seeing that it was still early for dinner, she took a bath and went to the dressing room to change her clothes. Habitually, she picked up a blue dress, hesitated for a moment since she didn’t have to see Steve today, and then chose a light yellow one instead.

The dress was an old style she had bought a few years ago, but when Ruby put it on, she was still delighted and twirled in front of the mirror before trying on another blue dress.

As Ruby continued trying on different clothes and admiring herself, there was a knock on her bedroom door. As she stepped out of the dressing room, she saw Lady Gregory enter with a bowl of mango sago.

Ruby sat on the edge of her bed, happily sipping her dessert.

Lady Gregory sat across from her on the sofa, staring at her for a while before saying, “The injury on your head has faded and is barely visible now. You can put on some light makeup and go back to work tomorrow.”

Ruby paused her dessert eating for a moment, looked up at Lady Gregory, and said, “I’ve taken leave until the 12th.”

Lady Gregory didn’t respond immediately.. After a while, she asked, “Ruby, do you not want to work at Pristine’s Enterprises anymore?”
