Translator: 549690339

Mr. Octo’s joyful expression lasted for a whole minute before his brain finally realized that what Steve Burton had told him was not Ruby Gregory’s phone number. He subconsciously muttered a “huh?” and then slowly replayed Steve’s words in his head.

Mr. Octo, do you think it’s honorable for you to hit on a married woman?

A married woman?

A married woman?

The phrase flashed in Mr. Octo’s mind twice, first as a question, then as an exclamation!

Ruby Gregory is actually a married woman?

How could the woman he picked out of a crowd and fell in love with at first

sight be a married woman?

Mr. Octo suddenly wanted to cry. He looked at Steve, opened and closed his mouth, stuttered for a while, and then murmured, “She’s already married?”

As Mr. Octo spoke, he glanced at Ruby, then looked back at Steve and said, “She looks so young…”

Steve leisurely inspected his phone, which had been scratched a bit on the edge when it fell earlier. For a perfectionist like him, he frowned slightly in disgust, considering asking his secretary to get him a new phone later. Meanwhile, he spoke to Mr. Octo casually, saying something even more shocking: “Compared to you, Mr. Octo, she is indeed quite young. But, no matter how young she is, she’s already a mother.”

If Steve had just casually labeled Ruby Gregory as a married woman, that would be a petty, unfounded lie.

But now that he bestowed upon Ruby the identity of being a mother, that was a major, life-ruining, disgraceful lie. Mr. Octo’s heart shuddered violently.

A mother?

His love at first sight was not only married but had also given birth?

Steve slowly raised his eyelids and glanced at Mr. Octo’s regretful and annoyed expression. He leisurely added, “A boy.”

“She has a son?” Mr. Octo asked back, furrowing his brow deeply. He continued to scrutinize Ruby, saying, “Her figure looks great, not at all like someone who’s given birth.”

Steve directly ignored Mr. Octo’s praise of Ruby’s figure in the latter half of his sentence. Responding to Mr. Octo’s question about a son, he replied calmly, “The boy is already five years old.”

At that moment, Mr. Octo’s expression instantly stiffened.

The woman he wanted to chase had a five-year-old son?

It meant that she had been married for six years!

Married for six years with a child. This indicated a happy marriage.

It seemed that his infatuation this time wouldn’t materialize into action.

Steve apparently felt that the blow to Mr. Octo was still not enough. He also seemed to feel that he had shamelessly labeled Ruby Gregory as married for no reason and even added to her a child. Enjoying the look of regret and pain on Mr. Octo’s face, he added even more shamelessly, “And also, a daughter..”
