To the Love of My Life

Chapter 644: Chapter 644: Ruby Gregory’s Confession (24)

“I saw Maya Mitchell go into that European and American store, and I wanted her to see that you were shopping with me, so I lied and said…” Lacking confidence, Ruby Gregory spoke with her head lowering, not daring to look at Steve Burton, her voice pitifully small: “Also, later in the clothing store, I suddenly called your name loudly because Maya didn’t see us shopping together, so I did it on purpose.”

When Ruby said this, she suddenly lost the courage to continue. She clenched her fingers tightly, feeling a sharp pain, before continuing with a sink-or-swim attitude: “Then she saw me with you, and she followed us as we shopped. I…”

“I… I…” Ruby stammered dishonestly, then closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and said everything in one breath: “My smiles and closeness to you were all for her to see. Although I wanted to anger her, I was also very happy at the time. I didn’t want to use you simply for that purpose. I…”

Ruby couldn’t find words to explain herself further, so she simply closed her mouth, her head hanging as if it were about to touch her chest. She regretted telling Steve about this, even thinking that he would definitely be unhappy.

Ruby held her breath, waiting for Steve’s anger, his displeasure, his curses, but after a long wait, none of the scenarios she imagined came true.

She blinked, puzzled, then slowly raised her head to look at Steve who was sitting in front of her.

To her surprise, there was no anger on his handsome face, but rather a deep smile.

The surrounding lights and the starlight from the sky fell on him, making him look exceptionally elegant and charming.

Ruby looked incredulous, unable to believe the scene she was witnessing. She stared for some time then forcefully blinked, confirming that she was not mistaken before foolishly asking: “Steve, aren’t you upset?”

Steve felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart when he saw how cautiously Ruby asked. He used to mind, but his minding pushed her away from him.

Furthermore, this time she used him to compete with Maya because of him. He couldn’t be happier. How could he possibly mind?

Steve shook his head: “I’m quite happy.”

Perhaps because he said this too simply, a hint of doubt flashed in Ruby’s eyes.

Steve thought for a moment and then said earnestly: “Ruby, I’m really very happy.”

Steve was not the kind of person who was good at sweet talk. It was easy for him to do things but difficult to explain them with words. He would rather keep it in his heart than speak out. However, this time, seeing the pure unease in Ruby’s eyes, he blurted: “Ruby, my happiness is insignificant compared to yours.”

My happiness is insignificant compared to yours.
