Ruby Gregory returned home a little earlier than usual today.
Dinner was not ready yet, Maxwell Gregory had not returned from the company, the servants were busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, and Lady Gregory was sitting on the living room sofa, watching a South Genovian idol drama.
She had already taken three consecutive days off and had not gone to the company. Her mood had not improved at all, and she felt more and more stifled.
During these three days, she stayed alone in the car during daylight hours. Ruby didn’t want to continue going upstairs and remain alone in her room, so she sat on the living room sofa and accompanied her mother watching TV dramas.
The scenes in the TV drama were warm and tender; the male lead was accompanying the female lead shopping, and the female lead kept acting coquettish and adorable towards the male lead – she even pretended to have sprained her ankle so that he would carry her.
The male lead didn’t show any disdain for the female lead’s burdensome behavior, but rather seemed happy when he carried her on his back.
The two of them had spent the whole day shopping, and it seemed that the female lead was really tired – she fell asleep in the car on the way home.
Instead of waking her up, the male lead stopped the car, gently carried her down from the car, carefully brought her back to the room, quietly laid her on the bed, and even considerately covered her with a blanket.
The male lead didn’t leave her side but instead gazed at her sleeping face for a long time, gently lowering his head to kiss her forehead, his care and cherishment for her overflowing.
At this moment, the scene on the TV was set at sunset, with the red sunlight streaming through the window, casting onto the male and female leads.
The scene was exceptionally beautiful. Although Ruby had no idea about the plot of the drama, she still stared at the scene, daydreaming.
Even when the ending song of the drama played, Ruby didn’t snap out of it. It seemed that the TV screen was still frozen at that moment.
After a long time, Ruby’s mind began to churn, and then she realized that she had actually developed a touch of envy deep in her heart.
Yes, she was envious of a scene that did not even exist in real life, something purely fabricated in a TV drama.
She never knew that a man could be so gentle towards a woman.
In her world, she had never been treated so tenderly by a man.
She didn’t even know what the interaction between a man and a woman was supposed to be like.
What the Gregorys taught her was that a woman should be dignified, demure, and graceful. That’s why she always appeared cultivated and well-versed in front of Steve Burton.
She dared not ask him to do anything for her.
As for Steve Burton, he was always rough with her in bed – he even tied up her hands. Even when he kissed her, he bit her lips painfully..
