Lady Gregory took a deep breath and continued to ask, “You’re angry with Steve Burton, aren’t you?”

There was no trace of laughter left on Ruby Gregory’s face. She pursed her lips, lowered her gaze, and remained silent.

Just as Lady Gregory was about to speak again, the bedroom door was suddenly knocked on and then pushed open: “Madam, Miss, Mr. Steve is here.”

Upon hearing this, Lady Gregory’s heavy expression was suddenly filled with a touch of joy.

Ruby, however, subconsciously gripped the porcelain bowl of dessert in her hand. Why was he here?

Lady Gregory sent Ruby downstairs alone. As she urged Ruby to go, she didn’t forget to remind her, “Ruby, you need to have a good talk with Steve.”

In the first-floor hall, Steve sat quietly on the sofa all by himself, with a cup of hot tea in front of him, emitting wisps of steam.

The setting sun’s afterglow shone through the large, bright window onto his body, casting a faint reddish glow around him.

He sat sideways, looking out the window, seemingly absorbed in something that caught his attention.

It appeared that he had just come from some dinner gathering, as he was still dressed in formal attire.

This scene appeared to be a beautifully crafted painting of unrivaled beauty.

Ruby stood at the stairway, staring for a while before slowly walking over to the sofa.

As she got closer, Ruby smelled a faint scent of alcohol on him.

Ruby gently sat down on the sofa farthest from Steve, and he slowly turned his head, resting his gaze on her.

She was wearing a maroon chiffon dress with white lace trimmings today, which made her skin appear even more delicate.

Her scent was not the light Chanel No. 5 perfume but a subtle, gentle sweet fragrance he remembered.

Today’s Ruby was completely different from the one he knew, who wore different styles of blue dresses and smelled of Chanel No. 5 perfume.

He had always wondered, if Ruby took off the garments she wore to please him, what would she look like in all sorts of other clothes.

He had imagined countless times in his mind how beautiful she would be.

But now, when he saw her for real, he realized that the beauty he had imagined was not even a fraction of what she was now.

For a moment, Steve looked stunned.

His eyes were locked on Ruby, staring at her intently.

The living room of the Gregorys’ house was unusually quiet, as if the servants and Lady Gregory had all disappeared into thin air.

Ruby felt uneasy as Steve stared at her and shifted slightly, finally unable to bear it any longer, she asked, “What did you come to see me for?”
