Translator: 549690339

Ruby Gregory was not actually a slow person. It was just that she had been indoctrinated by the Gregorys since she was a child that she must marry someone like Steve Burton. This had caused her to subconsciously treat him well, which had become an instinct over time. As time went on, however, she ignored her true feelings deep down and had never considered if her feelings for Steve were genuine or simply out of habit.

Even in her thoughts, she had never understood what the proper way for men and women to interact with one another should be.

After thinking about it for a long time, she still couldn’t understand why Steve wanted to marry her. But she did understand what he meant when he said, “It seems like it’s time.”

It meant that it was time for him and her to get married.

There were some questions that Ruby couldn’t figure out, so she didn’t think about them anymore. After all, her dream had always been to marry Steve. Now that her dream had come true, she should be happy about it.

Yes, happy… She should be excited, thrilled, and elated, just like her mother…

However, she found that, at this moment, aside from finally being able to fulfill her mission and make the Gregorys more successful, and allowing her parents to breathe a sigh of relief, there was no excitement in her heart.

Even worse, she remembered the sweet and beautiful scenes she had once seen on TV of the male and female lead being together. Her heart was filled with an inexplicable melancholy…

After a while, Ruby shook her head vehemently. What was she thinking? She was actually yearning for her and Steve’s marriage to be based on such sweetness and beauty.

Was she crazy?

How could she have such wild fantasies?

It was already a great surprise for her that Steve was no longer mean, sarcastic, or disdainful toward her. Yet she still wasn’t satisfied and craved more.

Ruby sat up from the bed, desperately shaking her head and slapping her face, trying to sober herself up.

After sobering up, however, her heart was filled with an indescribable sense of loss.

Ruby lowered her eyes to cover her emotions, picked up her phone next to her, and decided to read the news and browse Twitter to distract herself from these thoughts.

But she didn’t know what was wrong with her. As she was watching a piece of news on Twitter about a once-loving celebrity couple suddenly breaking up due to infidelity, with people cursing the cheating man, her fingers moved to WhatsApp. She stared at her recent chat history with Steve from the hospital, lost in thought.

It was just a few conversations where she was playfully defiant after being teased by his word game.

But she found herself enjoying reading the messages over and over again.

Then she remembered how they were playing games together in the hospital at this time last night.

Ruby felt the pressure in her heart getting heavier. She slowly got out of bed and saw the small bottle of vitamins Steve had given her. After fiddling with it for a while, she took two tablets and swallowed them. Only then did she feel a slight sense of relief in her heart.

She was indeed strange, as she had never felt like this before.

It was like she had lost a part of herself, and she couldn’t express the restlessness and confusion she felt.

Ruby picked up her phone again and stared at her chat history with Steve, lost in thought.

After a long while, she still didn’t know what was wrong with her.
