To the Love of My Life

Chapter 267: 267: Becoming More and More Sensible (7)

She only slightly struggled with her hand before thinking of Mr. Robbins, who was looking at her. In the end, Ruby reluctantly forced herself to stop moving.

Steve Burton thought she would find another excuse, just like before, to keep a certain distance from him. However, he didn’t expect that she only slightly moved and finally let him hold her hand obediently.

He couldn’t help but loosen his grip slightly. He saw a touch of crimson blush climb onto her cheeks, charming and lovely – nothing like the always-confident and sophisticated Ruby Gregory he had seen before.

In recent times, she seemed to have changed a lot… In the hot springs of the Red Park Resort & Villas, she dared to swat his hand away.

Steve Burton’s mood became increasingly pleasant.

Despite the hustle and bustle of the golf course, he felt an indescribable sense of tranquility.

After a long while, Steve Burton suddenly spoke and called out her name:

“Ruby.”

Ruby… this was her nickname.

Three years ago, Steve called her by that name, never using her full name like he did now.

His voice was deep and pleasing. When he called her “Ruby,” the volume deliberately dropped, giving a lingering and intimate sense.

Her parents and Madeleine also referred to her as Ruby, and she had grown accustomed to it. But never before had her name sounded so beautiful.

Ruby was caught off guard by his compliment.

Steve stared at Ruby’s foolish expression, not saying anything more. He only wore a slight smile at the corner of his lips, then turned his head to watch Howard and the others play golf.

Ruby stared at Steve’s profile for a moment before finally processing what he had just said in her mind.

More sensible? He said she’s become more sensible? Wasn’t she sensible before?

She had always been tiptoeing around him, trying to win his approval, striving to be a sensible and well-behaved woman.

Ruby’s brows furrowed slightly, her eyes filled with confusion. She was about to speak when a voice suddenly came first: “Ms. Gregory.”

Ruby turned her head and saw Mr. Robbins, who had unknowingly come up behind her.

Steve glanced at Mr. Robbins but did not say anything..
