Chapter 530: Chapter 530: So You Knew It All Along (40)

She didn’t know whether Steve was in a meeting or busy at work at the time, but the bottom line was that he didn’t answer her call.

As a result, Lady Gregory asked her to call Steve every once in a while. Ruby was a bit stubborn, but she had been disciplined by Lady Gregory since childhood and could control her temper. Even though she was impatient with her mother’s urging at the time, she still obediently followed Lady Gregory’s words and called Steve three or four times in a row. Yet, all those calls went unanswered by Steve.

Based on Ruby’s understanding of Steve, she knew deep down that once he saw her missed call, he would definitely call her back. So, when her mother urged her again, she told her that Steve would call her back later and then sat down at the dining table to eat without any worries.

After dinner, Steve still hadn’t called back. Ruby didn’t think it was a problem, but Lady Gregory kept asking her whether Steve had returned her call.

That day, Ruby received many gifts from Howard Coleman, Rusell Henris, Edward Woods, Madeleine, and some college classmates. She sat in her room, busy opening the gifts, and absentmindedly told her mother that Steve hadn’t called back in response to her frequent inquiries.

Hearing this, Lady Gregory became anxious and asked Ruby to call Steve again.

Ruby thought to herself that there was no point in calling him and tried to reassure Lady Gregory not to worry too much.

It’s unknown whether or not it was because of Ruby’s dismissive attitude at the time, but Lady Gregory started incessantly nagging her around.

She asked Ruby to take Steve more seriously and to be more considerate of him. In short, it was all the usual rhetoric.

Ruby nodded her head, saying she understood, yet she continued opening her gifts. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Lady Gregory felt that her daughter’s attitude was not serious enough and accused her of not taking her words to heart. She then snatched a gift box that Ruby was opening and asked her with a heavy tone, “Do you really care about what I’m saying?”

It happened to be the first day of Ruby’s period, which already made her easily irritable. Coupled with Lady Gregory’s nagging for quite some time, Ruby was quite annoyed and replied impatiently, “I know!”

“If you know, then call Steve again!” Lady Gregory said, taking Ruby’s cellphone, dialing Steve’s number, and placing the phone in her hand.

Ruby rarely acted stubborn in front of her parents. That day was her birthday and she was already feeling disappointed that she couldn’t go to Agrabah. Being constantly pushed by her mother to revolve everything around Steve, her temper flared up and she hung up the call without any hesitation.

Ruby’s attitude had already made Lady Gregory feel anxious, and this action now completely ignited her anger. Without any hesitation, Lady Gregory scolded her.

Ruby would feel wronged when scolded on regular days, let alone on her birthday. That feeling of grievance intensified several times over in her heart.
