To the Love of My Life

As a result, her mood was very low this afternoon when she played the zither.

The child in her belly was not wanted by him.

Perhaps that day, the middle-aged man who teased her was right when he said that she was just a discarded woman that Steve Burton didn’t want.

That night, after returning home, Ruby still took a bath, practiced prenatal yoga, and went to bed.

But she woke up from her dream in the middle of the night.

She dreamt of the last scene when she was with Steve; she had finally made up her mind to ask him if he wanted a child. He said, without hesitation, in such a cold and firm tone that he didn’t want to, not interested.

Ruby sat on the edge of the bed, dazed for a bit, got out of bed, poured a glass of water for herself, and crawled back into bed, but she didn’t feel sleepy at all.

She opened the bedside table beside her, and took out the bottle of vitamins that Steve originally gave her. Inside were the leftover pills, each one of them a long-term contraceptive that made her extremely painful.

Ruby was silent for a long time before taking a deep sigh, staring at the dark night sky outside the window, and wondering how her parents were doing. It had been more than a month since they last contacted her. Were they still angry at her? It was going to be New Year’s Eve the day after tomorrow, and every family would gather together. What about her? Should she go back to the Gregorys’ Manor to see them?

Ruby’s vacation started on New Year’s Eve and lasted until the sixth day of the lunar new year.

On the morning of New Year’s Eve, she picked up her phone several times, wanting to call the Gregorys’ Manor, but each time she picked it up, she put it back down, as she could never muster the courage.

Finally, after struggling for a long time, she simply packed her things and decided to go back to the Gregorys’ Manor to see Maxwell Gregory and Lady Gregory.

No matter how awkward things got between them, they were, after all her parents who raised her; and being a daughter, she should be the first to bow her head and apologize.

At noon on New Year’s Eve, the streets of Ciawell were already pitifully empty. Taxis were hard to come by, so Ruby had no choice but to take a bus back to the West Suburb Villa District.

Every kilometer, the bus would stop once. The place where she lived was relatively far from the West Suburb Villa District, so she would have to travel about an hour and a half to reach the final stop.

Ruby needed to transfer to another bus to get to the West Suburb Villa District. She stood at the bus stop, waiting for the bus alone and feeling a little bored as luxurious cars passed by from time to time.

Actually, very few people going to the West Suburb Villa District took the bus. The bus she was about to take could not take her directly to the entrance of the West Suburb Villa District, and she would still need to walk a distance.

She did not know what the reason was, but even though it was supposed to be a bus that came every 15 minutes, she had been waiting for nearly half an hour and had not seen any sign of it.

This area belonged to the outskirts, and there were no taxis at all. Ruby’s feet were getting cold from the freezing temperature.

Just as Ruby was desperately hoping for the bus to come soon, she suddenly heard the sound of brakes next to her. Instinctively, she looked up and saw the window of the car in front of her slowly rolling down.
