To the Love of My Life

Chapter 225: 225: Mysterious Female Lead (19)

The last table was occupied by Steve’s cousins, their spouses, and Olivia Foster.

Although Ruby had heard Steve’s mother’s voice last night, this was her first official meeting with her since returning to the country. So when she saw

Steve’s mother, she immediately stood up, bent over politely, and called out,

“Aunt Burton.”

As Ruby and Steve had grown up together, she naturally knew the parents of Edward Woods, Rusell Henris, Howard Coleman and Madeleine, so she greeted each of them before returning to her seat.

Among all the parents present, Steve’s mother and Madeleine’s mother were the closest to Ruby.

After Ruby had finished greeting everyone, Madeleine’s mother spoke up first with a smile, saying, “Madeleine told me long ago that Ruby had returned from abroad, but it’s only now that I get to see her.”

“Steve never told me Ruby was back. If I hadn’t seen her today, I wouldn’t have known she’d returned.” Steve’s mother chimed in, taking a closer look at Ruby and then smiling, “Three years have passed, and Ruby has grown into a young lady, much more beautiful than before.”

Edward Woods’s mother also joined in, smilingly, “Among our girls, Ruby has always been the most outstandingly beautiful since they were young.”

Howard Coleman’s mother, who was sitting closest to Ruby, reached out, grasped Ruby’s hand, and said, “And Ruby is also the most sensible.”

Madeleine pouted but showed no signs of being upset for being the only one criticized. Instead, she proudly said, “That’s right! My Ruby is so naturally beautiful that she can’t help but shine. With her to be the beautiful one, who would dare to compare to me? I’ll just send Ruby and she’ll definitely outshine everyone else!”

With everyone’s compliments, Ruby felt a little embarrassed, her face turning slightly red.

Steve had many cousins, and today the one who came was his fourth cousin, who brought his wife, Olivia Foster’s older female cousin.

Since Ruby entered the restaurant, all the adults had their eyes on her, revolving around her and praising her. Seeing this, Olivia’s expression gradually became somewhat unconvinced.

Always impulsive, Olivia couldn’t hold back and blurted out with a hint of jealousy in her tone, “Ruby is still as popular with everyone as ever..”
