After Lady Gregory spoke, she walked towards the door. As she reached out to open the door, she turned back and added to Ruby, “Ruby, you won’t disappoint Mom and Dad, will you?”

Ruby looked at Lady Gregory’s hopeful eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally slightly moved her lips. But she found herself incapable of uttering a single word, so she just lightly nodded at Lady Gregory.

Only then did Lady Gregory confidently open the door and leave.

Ruby stood alone in the bedroom, staring at the tightly closed door. The scolding words Lady Gregory had just spoken with such disappointment were echoing in her mind.

And these days of whims and moods that belong to you, they are nothing more than transient beauty!

“Is Ruby coming down?” Lady Gregory spotted Ruby coming down the stairs at first glance.

Steve Burton subconsciously raised his head. Seeing that Ruby had once again donned the same, unvarying blue dress, a touch of disappointment flickered in his eyes.

Ruby walked quietly to the couch. Steve Burton could smell the familiar scent of Chanel No.5 on her again, masking her natural scent..
