To the Love of My Life - Chapter 713

Chapter 713: Chapter 713: I Have Triplets (3)
 

Ruby Gregory looked at Steve Burton like this. Her heart no longer had the initial pure exploratory psychology, but was slowly touched instead.

She thought, if Steve Burton had confessed to her earlier, she was not sure if he really loved her very much, but now, she could clearly tell herself that Steve Burton really loved her.

Only when a man really loves a woman would he be willing to accept all the woman’s shortcomings.

Although the child in her belly is indeed Steve’s, he does not know this. He thought her child was Edric’s.

However, even in such circumstances, he still wanted her and was willing to accept the three children she gave birth to.

A layer of moisture welled up in Ruby’s eyes. She knew it was just a whim on her part, a test for Steve, but she still couldn’t help speaking up and blaming Steve for feeling wronged: “Steve, are you silly? I already have three children. Why do you still want me? You should know, by accepting me like this, you would be laughed at by many people. The Burtons will not approve. Perhaps, you will end up alienated by everyone!”

Steve held Ruby tight, stared into her eyes, with a determined spark in his gaze, his voice slightly assured as he said, “So what, even if it is? Let those who want to gossip gossip, let those who want to neglect, neglect. Ruby, losing you would be the most painful thing for me.”

Yes, he knew that many people would gossip behind his back, saying not only did he take in a woman nobody wanted, he also took in children nobody wanted.

Even worse, he knew The Burtons would be disappointed and angry with his decision.

But so what?

Compared to all that, all he wanted was her.

Steve stared into Ruby’s eyes, hardly dared to blink, fearing that all this might just be a dream. His eyes shimmered with deep expectation and hope, his tone slightly uneasy and uncertain as he continued to ask, “Ruby, do you truly want to be with me?”

Ruby’s tears flowed like a broken river. She had many things to say to him, but she didn’t know how. All she could do was stretch out her hand, wrap it around his neck, then puck up her toes and gently kiss his lips.

She distinctly felt his body stiffen briefly. Her lips trembled slightly as they softly brushed against his lips. She then hesitantly slipped her tongue into his mouth.

It took Steve a full thirty seconds to utterly snap back to reality. He tightly pulled her waist towards him, then passionately returned her kiss.

The kiss lasted for a long time until Steve felt his whole body about to explode. If they continued any further, he was certain it would lead to something more. At this moment, Ruby had just finished giving birth and should not be intimate. He forced himself to move his lips away from hers.

Ruby had difficulty breathing, her breaths coming in gasps as she snuggled in his arms. Her face had a slight flush. After a long while, she finally lifted her head, looked at Steve Burton’s perfect jawline, and softly opened her mouth to say, “Steve, actually, I never thought about marrying Edric.”

Steve was stunned by Ruby’s sudden words. He lowered his head to look at Ruby. Before he could say anything, Ruby’s voice calmly came again: “There’s one more thing, I have never told you, and that is, The Triplets are not Edric’s children, they are your children.”
