Steve Burton furrowed his brows as he stared at the woman who was using his clothes as a napkin to wipe her hands, his face full of disgust. However, deep within his eyes, there was a hint of indulgence. Even though he muttered, “disgusting,” he never raised his hand to hit hers.

Since Ruby had to work the next day, and the night was cool, she didn’t stay long and returned to her bedroom.

As she laid down on the bed once again, the inexplicable irritability and anxiety she felt earlier were gone. In their place was an indescribable sense of sweetness.

Ruby didn’t even realize the radiant glow on her face as she thought about turning off the bedroom light. Eventually, she decided to send Steve a WhatsApp message:[Goodnight.]

After sending it, Ruby added another line:[Thank you for the snacks.]

Steve was still standing on the balcony, not yet returning to his bedroom.

The night was cold as there was no moon, making the stars in the sky appear even brighter.

He raised his head, looking at the endless shadowy woods in the distance and the countless twinkling lights of the remote city. He felt as if he hadn’t been this happy in years.

Just as he was about to turn back into his bedroom, his phone beeped with a short notification sound. Picking it up, he saw it was a WhatsApp message from Ruby.

Happiness filled his heart, which softened even more upon reading the message.

With a hint of a smile on his lips, he slowly typed a few words:[Thank you for the milk.]

[Goodnight.]

After replying, he put his phone back into his pocket, casually leaned against the railing, and couldn’t help but chuckle.

He thought that the decision he made today was the right one.

These days, Ruby seemed less rigid than before. She no longer seemed to approach him with an ulterior motive like she had in the past.

Even when she encountered danger, her first thought was of him.

There was also the fact she never met Edric during her three years in Costa Luna…

And tonight, how she loosened up in front of him.

All he ever wanted was her sincerity in exchange for his.

He wanted to see himself reflected in her eyes, and in her heart.

He wanted her kindness and attention towards him to be because of him, and not because of the Pristine’s Enterprises behind him.

He wanted her to see him as just Steve Burton – not the man in control of Pristine’s Enterprises.

Although the incident three years ago was a sharp thorn in his heart, as long as she didn’t disappoint him, that thorn would soften.

He thought, this time, perhaps she wouldn’t let him down…

Ruby held her phone, waiting for a brief moment before receiving Steve’s reply.

He had responded to her in the same manner she spoke to him.

Ruby puckered her lips, looking at the “goodnight” on the screen from Steve. Although it was the same font as her own message, for some reason, Ruby felt a sense of reassurance from his words.

Ruby turned off the bedroom light, snuggled into the soft bed, grasped her phone, and closed her eyes.

She slept so soundly and sweetly.

When the light in the room across went off, even the surrounding light seemed to dim.

Steve stood with his hands in his pockets, staring at Ruby’s bedroom for a while. Then, with a slight upward curve of his lips, he took a step and walked into his own bedroom. freёnovelkiss.com

He, too, had a good night’s sleep.
