To the Love of My Life

Chapter 273: 273: Wanting Her to Love Me (3)

He furrowed his brows slightly, tilting his head, and his eyes met Ruby Gregory’s.

“Drinking too much alcohol will make you feel uncomfortable later – drinking some yogurt will help.” Ruby bit her lip and added, “Drink less; it’s bad for your health. ”

On the way to the hotel earlier, he had investigated and learned about the rumors that Mr. Robbins had recently been terminating contracts with Gregory’s Enterprises and was working with Foster Enterprises.

This information undoubtedly provided him with the best proof.

It made him, who had already guessed the truth, unable to deceive himself.

Ruby’s appearance on the golf course was not a coincidence, but a scheme.

Little did she know that a single word of concern from her was enough to make him happy for a long time.

He yearned for her kindness, but also feared that her kindness had ulterior motives.

Now, with her purpose settled, could he deceive himself into believing that her present concern for him was without any agenda or intention, and came from the heart?

Steve’s Adam’s apple bobbed twice, then he reached out, picked up the yogurt, and drank half a cup in one gulp.

Perhaps it was because of Ruby’s words, but Steve didn’t continue drinking like he did when he first sat down, recklessly pouring the alcohol down his throat.

In the evening, Ruby liked to eat lighter dishes, but there were several people from Sichuan at the table who had ordered an array of spicy food.

Finally, a waiter brought out a plate of mild pork ribs soup.

As the dishes were passed around, every time the pork ribs soup reached Ruby, she would reach out and help herself.

Steve noticed her pattern and, holding his glass of alcohol, tilted his head to whisper in Ruby’s ear, “Do the other dishes not suit your taste?”

Ruby hadn’t expected Steve to suddenly ask her this question. She shook her head, “No, it’s just that I’m used to eating lighter dishes in the evening.” Ruby’s words rendered Steve silent for a moment.

He had known her for so many years, but it was only now that he learned her dietary habits.

They had often eaten dinner together in the past, and he had frequently ordered greasy, spicy dishes for them, but he had never realized her preferences before;

In front of him, she had always concealed her true self perfectly, without any flaws.

Steve gazed intently at Ruby, his face near hers, his warm breath spraying on her face, causing her to feel increasingly uncomfortable.

In the afternoon, she had been acting for Mr. Robbins and had forced herself to endure it.
