To the Love of My Life - Chapter 695

Chapter 695: Chapter 694: Chaotic Baby-Making (14)
 

The smile that Ruby Gregory had been wearing, imagining Steve Burton’s reaction to learning that the triplets were his, had been frozen upon hearing Lady Gregory’s words, “Steve Burton, going on a blind date?”

Only upon hearing Ruby’s words did Lady Gregory notice the change in her daughter’s complexion. It took her a while to respond, and then, with a touch of concern, she asked, “Ruby, you wouldn’t be upset about Steve going on a blind date, would you?”

Ruby Gregory did not reply.

Lady Gregory couldn’t help but console her daughter a few times.

Ruby, however, had no mood to listen. She merely shook her head, forced a smile, assuring she was fine, then joined Lady Gregory for dinner.

After dinner, Lady Gregory suggested Ruby stay the night. Ruby, however, was preoccupied with Steve’s blind date. Agitated, she saw that Steve’s car had not returned to the mansion and insisted on going back to the city.

Lady Gregory, unable to dissuade Ruby, had to resort to having the driver take Ruby home safely.

That night, Ruby had intended to stay at the Gregorys. She had even given her housekeeper the evening off. Now in her empty house, the thought of Steve going on a blind date stirred an indescribable fury within her.

He actually went on a blind date! She carries his three children, and he has the audacity to go on a blind date!

The more Ruby thought about it, the more wronged she felt. The more wronged she felt, the angrier she became. Finally, in her rage, she called Steve.

–

When Steve called Madam Burton, she had mentioned about having dinner together at the Royal Bird Restaurant that evening. He agreed without a second thought. However, when he arrived, he discovered a beautiful young woman inside the room Madam Burton told him.

He immediately called his mother to confirm if he got the room number wrong. What he was asked instead was whether or not he was satisfied with the woman. That’s when he realized his mother had arranged a surprise blind date dinner.

Angry, Steve ended the call. He snapped at the woman in the room, “Whoever invited you is responsible for the bill.” He then drove back to his apartment.

After showering, Steve got into bed early but found himself unable to sleep. He turned on the TV without paying attention and picked up his phone, constantly locking and unlocking his screen, hesitating if he should call Ruby back.

Each time he’d select Ruby’s name, he lacked the courage to actually dial.

That woman must surely want to cut ties with him…

Annoyed, Steve finally tossed his phone aside. When he went to pour himself a glass of water, he spotted the infant formula he had brought back from Lilliput for Ruby. This made him even more agitated, so he decided to go to the balcony for some fresh air.

After a while, his phone began ringing from inside his bedroom. Steve paused; he had a feeling the call was from Ruby.

He stood there gripping his glass of water, hesitating once again. Just as he resolved to head back to the bedroom, the ringing stopped. He was left standing, but not even half a minute later, the phone started ringing again.

Steve finally returned to bedside to pick up the phone. Just as he had anticipated, it was a call from “Ruby”.

PS: Will he pick up or ignore the call?
