To the Love of My Life

Steve Burton seemed to not hear the surrounding chatter at all, just sitting there calmly with an indifferent expression on his face. He looked as if Ruby Gregory and Edric Reat’s connection to this song had nothing to do with him.

Only God knows how his heart had already turned icy at the moment when Maya Mitchell’s male partner announced that Ruby Gregory and Edric Reat would be singing “You are the Song in My Heart.” Now someone was saying that they had sung a duet in the past… ha…Steve Burton snorted coldly in his heart again, feeling that Edric, who annoyed him anyway, was particularly bothersome now.

“It was when they were in college ah, Ruby Gregory and Edric Reat were classmates. They sang a duet in a Gala Party organized by their department and even won the first prize in their department competition,” explained someone in the know.

“You guys don’t know, but the act by Edric Reat and Ruby Gregory, it really shook everyone. Both of them had great voices, absolutely at a top-notch level. A handsome man and a beautiful woman standing on the brilliantly lit stage were really such a sight. Even after so many years, I remember it as perfect.”

Steve Burton heard all of these remarks, but his face remained impassive.

Perfect, my ass! A silly departmental Gala Party where they even choose a first prize? Did they think it was a talent show?!

“Don’t tell me, after Ruby Gregory and Edric Reat sang that song, many people thought they were a couple. Among our contemporaries, everyone said that Edric Reat and Ruby Gregory were a match made in heaven.”

Match made in heaven, huh? Who the hell had such bad taste?!

Steve’s hand balled into a silent fist as he casually glared at Edric. He felt the impulse to kick Edric out of the room.

“Now that you mention it, I remember now — the song that Edric Reat and Ruby Gregory sang back then was also ‘You Are the Song in My Heart’, right?”

“Really? That’s a coincidence. They both sang this song today too. It’s a divine arrangement.”

“This is simply predestined…”

Predestiny? This is like being predestined to be a crazy person! Ha… Steve Burton snorted coldly again in his heart — what a joke, he really wanted to beat up Edric so bad, he’s searching for his missing teeth on the ground!

As Ruby Gregory listened to the buzz of conversation surrounding her and Edric’s past, her face gradually turned pale. She subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Steve Burton beside her.

Steve Burton was expressionless, staring straight ahead, not a ripple on his face.

Yet, it was precisely Steve Burton’s aloof and enigmatic demeanor that made Ruby feel even more restless.

The classmates around her became more and more insistent.

“Ruby Gregory, it’s just a song, don’t be so hesitant.”

“You and Edric Reat sang it straightforwardly back in the day.”

“Ruby Gregory, we’re old classmates. What on earth are you being modest about?”

Listened to their urging, Steve Burton still held an indifferent expression, which was very composed. He was simply waiting for Ruby Gregory’s decision.
