When she wanted to have a child, she took the initiative to be nice to him, used him, and got caught.

And when she wanted to help Gregory’s Enterprises keep the Luo family, she was also nice to him, and got caught again.

Today, she willingly brought him a glass of water and talked with him about TV dramas. Just as he was starting to enjoy the conversation, she mentioned Madeleine… He must’ve thought that her kindness to him just now was to pave the way for pleading on Madeleine’s behalf…

She admitted that, on those previous occasions, she had indeed approached him with a purpose, trying to please him.

But not today. She really didn’t have any ulterior motive this time.

Although she really wanted Madeleine to come back, she had tried to plead for her before, but every time she opened her mouth, his expression would turn cold, and she wouldn’t dare to say another word.

This was the first time Ruby had ever been misunderstood. She felt anxious and uneasy, and stealthily lifted her eyes to look at Steve, only to see his familiar gloomy expression. Ruby became even more afraid; clutching her clothes, she hesitated for a moment before timidly saying, “I didn’t mean to plead for Madeleine.”

Her voice was very faint and thin.

Steve’s expression, however, didn’t improve in the slightest.

Did he not believe her? Ruby became even more panicked. She gripped her clothes tighter, her voice trembling slightly, “I was just answering your question about TV dramas. I really only talked to Madeleine about them. Although I do want her to come back, my offering you water, suggesting watching TV, and talking about the drama really have nothing to do with her…”

“Ruby.” Suddenly, Steve spoke, interrupting her.Y0u can read sh0rt, t0uching, and r0mantic st0ries ab0ut c0uples, as well as children’s st0ries f0r free 0n sitest0rys(.)c0m

Ruby turned her pale face towards him.

Before she could say anything, his face was already close to hers, and she felt her lips being deeply covered by his.

Ruby’s eyes widened in shock.

Did he believe her now?

Just as Ruby hadn’t recovered from the roller coaster of emotions, she felt Steve’s kiss become more passionate, and his hand even slipped under her sick clothes.

What Steve’s actions meant was crystal clear to Ruby, who tensed up subconsciously as her mind sobered up.

Was Steve trying to sleep with her?

But… she wasn’t ready for this…

After the two passionate encounters in his villa – in the pool and in the bedroom – she realized that she didn’t feel pain in the pool, so she wasn’t as nervous, which also improved his mood somewhat.

At first, she tried buying painkillers from a pharmacy to see if they would help. When she was alone with him, she took two pills and discovered that, just like in the pool, she felt no pain and was more relaxed. His expression didn’t look as displeased, either.

She couldn’t begin to describe how happy she felt at that time. Being able to ease her own pain while pleasing him was truly a win-win situation.

So, from then on, every time she sensed the mood wasn’t right, she would find an opportunity to sneakily take painkillers.

But today’s situation was so sudden that it didn’t give her any time to prepare.

As soon as Ruby imagined herself having to endure the heart-wrenching pain again, her body involuntarily stiffened up.
