To the Love of My Life

The previous two times when she didn’t know she was pregnant, she had sex with him, and there was always a slight spotting afterward.

Thinking of this, Ruby hesitated not a moment and said aloud, “No…”

Steve, however, seemed not to have heard her and continued kissing her, caressing her body.

His actions were even more intense and passionate than before.

Anxiously, Ruby struggled beneath him and said, “I’m not feeling well today, I don’t want to do it…”

When it came to such matters, Ruby seldom refused Steve, let alone openly and directly resisting him like she was doing now.

Steve paused for a moment, then lifted his head and reached out to pinch her chin, harshly sealing his lips on hers. His hands shamelessly stripped off his own clothes, then forcibly spread her legs apart.

Startled, Ruby stretched out her hands and mustered all her strength to forcefully push Steve off her body, even lifting her leg to hit him in the waist.

She resisted with great force and her actions grew more and more intense; Steve frowned, lifted his head, and saw the look of desperation on her face. He pursed his lips tightly, then stared at her coldly for a few seconds, before directly rolling off her body. He quickly dressed in his loungewear and strode out of the bedroom.

Only after Steve left did Ruby breathe a long sigh of relief. She sat up on the bed, wrapped herself in the blanket, stared at the pitch-black night sky outside the window for a while, then swallowed forcibly, as if making a decision. She picked up her clothes, which had been stripped off by Steve, and put them on one by one. She even combed her hair to make it smooth before wearing slippers and slowly stepping out of the bedroom.

Rusell Henris and Edward Woods had also drunk quite a lot of alcohol and were making themselves coffee in the living room downstairs to sober up before leaving. They heard the bedroom door being pulled open forcefully; both looked up to see Steve’s tense face heading straight into the study, slamming the door shut with a loud bang.

Looking at each other, both Rusell and Edward were silent for a moment before Edward said bitterly, “Are Steve and Ruby having another quarrel?”

Before Rusell had a chance to respond, he saw Ruby walking out of the bedroom. Ignoring Edward’s words, Rusell directly pointed at the study door and said to Ruby, “He’s in there.”

Edward also chimed in, “Ruby, remember to persuade Steve well. In another 30 hours, you two will be engaged.”

Ruby stood at the railing, listening to Edward’s words, pursing her lips tightly. After a while, she smiled slowly at Edward, without a word, simply nodding gently. Then she turned around, and walked towards the study.

Usually, when they saw Ruby, she would be wearing heels. But now, her flats made her figure appear particularly petite. She walked alone along the long corridor towards the study.
