Her mother was an experienced woman, and when she saw the hickey on her neck and the changed clothes, she already guessed what she had done tonight, so she didn’t need to lie. Moreover, her father and mother both hoped, deep down, that she and Steve Burton could be together.
Therefore, she deliberately made her words so obscure and subtle, with the intention of giving her mother an impression that Steve accidentally tore her clothes while they were being intimate, and that was why she changed into new ones.
As Ruby Gregory expected, Lady Gregory instantly understood the hint in her words, and her expression instantly relaxed, leaving only a remark, “You should rest early.”
Then, she entered the bedroom.
Ruby watched the door of her parents’ bedroom close, then she quietly breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the stairs.
The room was very quiet, and through the door, Ruby could hear her mother narrating everything she had seen to her father. She could tell from her mother’s tone that there was a hint of satisfaction.
After listening, her father’s tone was also very cheerful, “I knew it, our Ruby has been raised by us so well, and she’s so beautiful. How could Steve not like
“Ruby and Steve are progressing so smoothly, you can be relieved now.” In her mother’s words, there was a hint of a smile.
“I don’t know when the loan can be approved. Now that Ruby and Steve have such a promising future, we need money in the company. Why don’t we sell the cemetery plot we bought before? The land is vast, and the feng Shui is good. We spent a lot of money when we bought it, and now it’s worth several times more. When Ruby marries Steve in the future, we will be rich, and we can buy a better one.”
Standing outside the door, Ruby heard her father’s plan, looked sideways at her bruised wrist, was lost for a moment, and then pursed her lips slightly and walked upstairs.
As she wished, she had used a suggestive and evocative story to make her parents happy and make them believe that she and Steve Burton really had a chance.
But in the end, she was unfilial and could only make her parents happy for such a brief moment.
Only she knew deep down just how deep Steve’s disgust and disdain for her truly was.
Last night, Ruby had been restless in bed, tossing and turning for a long time, already sleep-deprived, so as soon as she took a bath tonight and crawled into bed, she fell into a deep sleep.
In her dreams, Ruby had a wonderful dream. She saw her younger self and a very young Steve Burton, who already looked like a little adult.
When she was very young, her memory of Steve was limited to the fact that she would always get many delicious treats when she met this older brother..
