To the Love of My Life

Chapter 351: 351: This Man is Too Shameless (1)

Steve Burton nodded, “Mm.”

In an instant, Ruby saw hope again, and her appetite improved along with it. She immediately picked up her chopsticks and began eating the rice in her bowl.

Steve watched Ruby eat for a while before also picking up his chopsticks and eating.

After dinner, the nurse came in and cleared the table. Steve Burton sat leisurely on the sofa, as usual, turned on the TV, and stared at the finance channel, showing no intention of changing Ruby’s discharge date.

Ruby sat on the bed, admiring Steve’s handsome and refined side profile, and finally couldn’t help but ask, “Are we going to be discharged tomorrow morning?”

Steve’s eyes remained on the TV, but he tilted his head towards Ruby and gave a questioning “Mm?”

“During dinner, you said that if I finished my meal, you’d consider letting me leave the hospital early.”

Steve made an “Mm” sound, stared at the TV, paused for a moment, and said, “I considered it, but still decided to leave on the evening of the 10th.”

“You’re not keeping your word! You clearly said that if I finished my meal, you’d let me leave early.”

“I said I’d consider letting you leave early.” Steve slowly turned his head and stared at Ruby’s angry face, and spoke unhurriedly: “I didn’t say I’d actually let you leave early. And, I did consider it just now, but after considering, the discharge time remains unchanged.”

For a moment, Ruby was speechless, choked by Steve’s words!

Shameless, this man was too shameless! He was actually playing word games with her!

Perhaps due to being cared for by Steve day and night during her time in the hospital, his attitude had already significantly improved from before, and he no longer carried a dark expression whenever they interacted. As a result, Ruby’s courage gradually grew bolder. She had been tricked by Steve twice in one day, and she couldn’t help but feel indignant. She sat on her bed, staring at Steve who was leisurely watching TV as if nothing was wrong. Gently turning her eyes, she picked up her phone, thought for a moment with her finger in her mouth, opened WhatsApp, and found Steve’s name.

Ever since adding Steve on WhatsApp at Red Park Resort & Villas, Ruby had never sent him any messages. As she hesitated for a moment, she still typed a line and sent it to Steve.

Steve’s phone was by his side. It suddenly made a “ding” sound, and he glanced at it briefly before picking it up. Seeing that it was from Ruby, he looked at her and opened the message, reading: [Can I ask you a question?]

Couldn’t she just say whatever she had on her mind instead of sending a message when they were face-to-face… Steve complained in his heart while replying to Ruby, a single word: [Ask.]

Ruby saw Steve’s reply, turned her back to him, and the corner of her lips hooked upward. She typed another line and sent it: [You need to promise me that you’ll answer truthfully first.]

Steve moved his fingers: [Okay.]

Ruby pressed her phone for a while. Steve’s phone rang again, and he picked it up to read a new message from Ruby on the screen:
