To the Love of My Life

Steve originally thought that when Ruby returned to the bedroom, she would put on her clothes or shyly hide under the covers. However, to his surprise, she was standing next to the clothes rack, almost fully-naked.

Just now in the office, Steve had been impulsive and couldn’t restrain himself, nearly crossing the line before being interrupted by Maya. After Maya disrupted them, his impulsiveness subsided. But now, seeing Ruby with her fair neck covered in his love bites and holding a sweater just barely covering her chest, her legs tightly closed together as she stood before him, her entire body blushing due to his stare, the once-dissipated impulse suddenly surged like a flood, sweeping him away once more. Steve reached out to pull Ruby into his embrace, fiercely kissing her as he pushed her towards the nearby bed.

Perhaps because Maya had interrupted them midway, Steve was especially enthusiastic, entwining with Ruby for a long time before finally stopping.

Ruby lay weak and exhausted on the bed, her eyes closed, on the verge of falling asleep.

Steve lay on top of her, his breath gradually steadying. Then, he turned and embraced Ruby, putting her on top of him.

Comparatively, while Ruby was barely breathing, Steve seemed rather spirited. He stared at the ceiling, absentmindedly stroking Ruby’s back, when he suddenly realized that he had forgotten something.

Steve thought for a while, and finally recalled that the reason he had gone to see Maya was about Ruby’s kidnapping.

Olivia claimed that she intended to kidnap Maya, not knowing how it ended up being Ruby instead.

If Olivia really wanted to kidnap Maya, a professional kidnapper would not have mistakenly abducted the wrong person.

Initially, Steve had silently told himself to pay attention to this matter. However, he had been at the hospital accompanying Ruby, and as he already had a vague impression of Maya, he simply forgot about it.

If it weren’t for Maya interrupting his intimate moment with Ruby today, he might not have thought of it.

As Steve considered this, he lowered his eyes to glance at Ruby, who lay motionless in his arms: “Were you with Maya before you were kidnapped?”

It had been several days since the kidnapping. Ruby was slightly stunned at the sudden mention of it, and then raised her head from Steve’s chest to look into his eyes and nodded: “Yes, she invited me out that day.”

“She invited you?”

“Yeah, I didn’t want to go initially, but then I remembered that she had done me a huge favor at Red Park Resort & Villas, so I thought I should return the favor and went.”

“What did you do together?”

Why was Steve suddenly so concerned about mundane matters now?

Ruby looked puzzled at Steve, thought for a moment, and said, “We didn’t do much, just had afternoon tea at a teahouse. After that, we went to the restroom to change clothes, and when we came out, I was kidnapped.”

“Changed clothes?”

Ruby didn’t notice the strangeness in Steve’s words. She lazily moved her sore legs and replied with a tired tone, “Yeah, before I arrived, Maya had been shopping and saw a beautiful outfit, so she bought me a set too.”
