To the Love of My Life

Chapter 259: 259: You Finally Opened Your Eyes

She was wearing a low-cut swimsuit, and her blushing cheeks spread all the way down to her chest, creating a pinkish hue. This view rendered Steve Burton’s gaze rather heated. His throat slightly quivered, and he couldn’t help but lean in closer to her ear, staring at her blushing earlobe. In a dark, deep voice, he mumbled, “Are you afraid that I’ll get infected, huh?”

Along with his voice, warm breath sprayed onto Ruby Gregory’s ear.

Especially the last word, “huh”, he intentionally raised his pitch, imbued with a touch of teasing.

Ruby’s face instantly turned a deep shade of red, as if ablaze.

Steve looked at Ruby’s girlish expression, and his smile spread wantonly across his lips and features. His entire face seemed to glow with brilliance.

He reached out and gently touched her forehead, then extended his injured hand to her, “Weren’t you worried about me getting infected? Check it now so your concern won’t be in vain.”

He was even wearing waterproof gloves, yet he still wanted her to check! Moreover, he was using the words she had just spoken!

Having her concern repeated like that, she felt so ashamed that she wanted to cry.

She hung her head even lower.

Soft laughter emerged from Steve’s throat. He picked up a strand of her hair and slowly twirled it around his finger, staring at her endearing posture with amusement. Then, shamelessly, he extended his uninjured hand, removing the waterproof glove from the injured one. “I’ve taken the glove off for you, so it’s easier for you to check if I got wet.”

Ruby wished she could simply vanish into thin air. Not only did she lower her head but she also tightly closed her eyes.

However, Steve reached out and lifted her head, “How can you check with your head lowered?”

Will he ever stop? He kept harping on this topic, making Ruby feel like she was on fire. She didn’t know where she found the courage, but she suddenly thrust her hand out and forcefully knocked Steve’s arm away from her chin. Without even glancing at Steve, she sprinted away toward the exit of the hot spring.

Ruby ran extremely fast, as if a man-eating beast were standing right behind her.

She didn’t even look at the road, and turned straight back to the changing room.

The staff member who had led her in stayed by the changing room. When she saw Ruby coming out, she called out, “Ms. Gregory…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Ruby darted into the changing stall and slammed the door shut with a bang.

When Ruby came out after changing her clothes, the staff member led her back to the lobby, “Ms. Gregory, do you need to wait for Mr.. Burton?”
