To the Love of My Life

Chapter 183 - 183: 183: Crying herself into unconsciousness (29)

Ruby looked at Lady Gregory’s hopeful eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally slightly moved her lips. But she found herself incapable of uttering a single word, so she just lightly nodded at Lady Gregory.

Only then did Lady Gregory confidently open the door and leave.

Ruby stood alone in the bedroom, staring at the tightly closed door. The scolding words Lady Gregory had just spoken with such disappointment were echoing in her mind.

No one has ever truly cared whether she is happy or not.

No one has ever considered whether she is willing to do such things or not.

Is it because she is a member of the Gregorys that she must accept this fate and arrangement?

She truly doesn’t want to go ahead with Steve Burton.

She would rather live a busy life running around for three meals a day like an ordinary family, 9 to 5, than disgrace herself by clinging to a man who despises her, enduring his scorn, his mockery, his criticism.

But her life has never been within her control.

Ruby stood in front of the full-length mirror, looking at the poised, beautiful woman within. A bitter smile formed at the corners of her lips.

Congratulations, from now on you still have to strive to be that Ruby Gregory who was instilled with the notion of marrying Steve Burton since childhood, all for the sake of the Gregory family!

And these days of whims and moods that belong to you, they are nothing more than transient beauty!

“Is Ruby coming down?” Lady Gregory spotted Ruby coming down the stairs at first glance.

Steve Burton subconsciously raised his head. Seeing that Ruby had once again donned the same, unvarying blue dress, a touch of disappointment flickered in his eyes.

Ruby walked quietly to the couch. Steve Burton could smell the familiar scent of Chanel No.5 on her again, masking her natural scent..
