To the Love of My Life

Chapter 265: 265: Becoming More and More Sensible (5)

This attire made her appear much younger.

The appearance of Ruby Gregory made the scenery around Steve Burton feel even more beautiful and captivating than before.

While Steve and Howard Coleman were already in the company of a group of adult men, the addition of two pretty women was certainly welcome.

As Madeleine was already well-acquainted with these business partners, Howard simply introduced Ruby to each of them.

After exchanging greetings, Madeleine pulled Ruby over to some nearby lounge chairs, intentionally giving Ruby the seat next to Steve and sitting beside her.

Since her arrival, Ruby had not yet greeted Steve Burton, so after sitting down, she glanced over at him and said, “Good afternoon.”

The simple and ordinary phrase “Good afternoon” was quite pleasing to Steve, whose happiness over her appearance now blossomed even more in his heart.

Although she was extremely reluctant to chat with Steve, at this moment, she had no choice but to find a conversation topic, saying, “Howard’s golf skills are still as impressive as they were in the past.”

Steve continued staring straight ahead, his expression not shifting at all, making Ruby think that he simply did not want to bother with her.

Feeling somewhat discouraged, she shifted her gaze away from his profile, but then heard his clear and faint voice, still just one word: “Mm.”

At least the silence wasn’t complete… Ruby racked her brain to find more trivial topics to chat with Steve about..
