To the Love of My Life

Chapter 264: 264: Becoming More and More Sensible (4)

Upon seeing Ruby return, Madeleine immediately asked, “All sorted out?”

Ruby nodded, and Madeleine took her arm, leading her towards where Steve Burton and Howard Coleman were.

With Madeleine’s company, Ruby got closer and closer to Steve. Her heartbeat gradually quickened, and a layer of sweat formed in her palms.

Everything was going accordingto her plan. However, she had forgotten just one thing — the uncontrollable nervousness she felt in front of Steve.

It took great effort to finally get a weekend off. In reality, Steve didn’t want to engage in outdoor activities; he’d rather stay inside the Mansion, listening to music, sipping coffee, and going over some leftover documents, while staring at the glow of the setting sun and wondering what Ruby, who lived next door, was up to.

Nevertheless, golf has always been a favorite social activity among the upper class. To ensure a pleasant cooperation, he came to the golf course even though he didn’t want to.

Mountains and rivers, no matter how pleasant the sceneries were on the way, none of them could compare with being near her.

Steve Burton blinked gently, looking away from the view. His gaze, however,

landed on a familiar figure on the soft, green grass.

Was it an illusion?

Was it an illusion created because he was thinking of her?

Steve furrowed his brow slightly, only to see Ruby and Madeleine walking towards his direction, hand in hand.

Madeleine came here to help Ruby. Being with Steve and Howard required no reason or excuse, so she led Ruby by the arm and stood coquettishly in front of Steve, “What a coincidence, you’re here too. Luckily, Ruby and I can save money on playing golf today.”

Steve sat composed in his seat, his face expressionless..
