To the Love of My Life

Chapter 258: 258: You Finally Opened Your Eyes

After a moment, Steve Burton was stunned and murmured softly, “Thank me?”

Ruby Gregory only felt that Steve’s hand on her shoulder was like a fierce beast, full of danger. She didn’t realize the strangeness of the man in front of her, and she couldn’t care about anything else. She just hoped that answering his question would make him calm down and spare her life.

She nodded quickly at him and said, “Thanks to you for being prepared last night and finding Charlotte Madris to divert Aunt Burton’s attention. Otherwise, maybe I would have been sent to Italy today.”

In Steve Burton’s eyes, there was a burst of intense light that suddenly exploded, shattered, and refracted into many bright, dazzling surprises.

Did she actually understand what he did?

Steve Burton felt that his heart came alive, pounding rapidly at an incredible speed.

He wanted to jump with excitement.

However, he could only clench his fists tightly to stabilize his emotions, making himself appear calm and composed.

His tone was cold and chilling as he said, “Ruby Gregory, you finally opened your eyes.”

His words were full of mockery, making Ruby’s forthcoming words choke in her throat. She subconsciously bit the corner of her lips, took a timid step back, and looked up at Steve Burton to find that there wasn’t a trace of mockery on his face.

On the contrary, his face had lost its icy coldness, becoming gentle and even showing a hint of a smile.

Steve Burton looked warm and lively like this, staring deeply at her.

Ruby was not sure what Steve’s eyes were trying to convey, whether he was waiting for her to continue speaking. After hesitating for a while, she opened her mouth and said, “I also saw in the WhatsApp group that you came to the hot spring…”

Ruby spoke cautiously, carefully observing Steve’s reaction. Noticing that he didn’t show any changes in expression but rather an increasingly obvious smile, she gradually gained some courage, and carried on speaking, “Your hand got injured this morning, and the doctor said it shouldn’t touch water. I was worried about infection, and I couldn’t help but come over.”

Ruby finished speaking and sneaked a glance at Steve, only to find that there was a trace of laughter in his eyes and brows. She secretly sighed with relief, then belatedly realized that she, in her panic, had blurted out the real reason why she had come to the private hot spring.

Although she had never been in a relationship and didn’t understand the feelings of young love, she knew that these little thoughts shouldn’t just casually be shared with a man.

Ruby’s face turned red with embarrassment, and she wished the ground would open up and swallow her..
