To the Love of My Life

Chapter 561: Chapter 561: Wait a little longer before giving up (1)

Some people can say “I love you” to you countless times, but turn around and be with another woman.

Some may seem to not care about you at all, but you don’t know how many impulsive thoughts they’ve suppressed to make themselves appear less in love with you.

That night when she went to the supermarket and encountered a mishap, although it was a close call for Ruby Gregory, she was genuinely afraid of similar incidents happening again, especially because she was pregnant. So unless it was absolutely necessary, she would avoid walking alone, and even bought her daily necessities online, having them delivered directly to her home.

Although Steve Burton appeared unexpectedly that day and disappeared just as quickly, making Ruby feel like it had all been an illusion, she still remained cautious and attentive to her surroundings.

However, after carefully observing her surroundings for two days, Ruby failed to notice anything unusual around her.

But her female intuition told her that Steve might still be close by.

So, the more she couldn’t figure out the situation, the more attentive Ruby became. She didn’t know if it was because she was so focused on this matter, but one time, after eating dinner at the Gardenia Clubhouse’s cafeteria and resting alone in the lounge, being a pregnant woman who was prone to sleepiness had intensified. As soon as she had free time, she could fall asleep at any moment. However, that day, she dreamily felt Steve’s presence by her side during her sleep, and then she suddenly woke up, only to find no one in the lounge. But there was a thin blanket draped over her body, and a brand-new thermos placed on the table next to her. Suspiciously, Ruby picked it up, opened it, and found warm milk inside.

Lost in confusion while staring at the thermos, the lounge door was pushed open, and Lynette, the receptionist at the clubhouse, walked in. Seeing Ruby awake, Lynette greeted her with a smile and asked, “Awake now?” freewebnøvel.com

Ruby nodded.

Lynette continued to smile and said, “When I came in earlier, I saw you asleep over there. Although the heater was on, I was afraid you might catch a cold, so I brought you a blanket.”

Then, Lynette pointed at the thermos in front of Ruby and said, “That’s the milk I warmed up earlier. I made too much and couldn’t finish it, so I shared some with others and kept this for you.”

So Lynette did all this… Ruby then smiled wryly, thinking she must have been too tense recently to have thought that it was Lynette who had done all this.

Ruby picked up the thermos, thanked Lynette, and took a sip.

Lynette smiled but remained silent. Her gaze was filled with a hint of envy as she watched Ruby. Then she walked over to the lockers, opened her locker with a key, and quietly took a thick wad of money from her clothes pocket and stuffed it into her bag.

Lynette was indeed having a rare streak of good luck today, all thanks to Ruby. There was a handsome man who would come to the Gardenia Clubhouse every day at exactly 1 pm and stay until 9 pm before leaving. Sometimes he would be accompanied by many people and sometimes, he would be alone. Because he was good-looking, they would often gossip in private about whom this man was here for. But they had no idea that it was for Ruby Gregory.
