Chapter 648: Chapter 648: Ruby Gregory’s Confession (28)

Although Ruby couldn’t see Steve’s expression clearly, she could feel that he seemed to be upset.

Actually, her intention in saying those things was not to make Steve upset. She just wanted him to know that she was not the kind of girl who shamelessly clung to men.

But unfortunately, she had made the atmosphere so awkward.

Ruby looked up at the sky and took a few deep breaths. After calming herself down, she sat upright and said to Steve who was sitting right across from her, “It’s getting late, I should go home.”

Steve did not respond. He sat there rigidly, as if he was frozen.

Ruby did not speak again.

Both of them remained silent.

After a long time, Steve finally rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, and slowly raised his head.

Ruby saw that his handsome face was calm, his eyes were dry, and even when he raised his hand to call the waiter for the bill, he remained as composed as always.

When the waiter presented the bill, Steve handed over his card to pay, signed the receipt, and after taking back his card, glanced at Ruby. Both of them stood up and walked towards the staircase. Suddenly, Steve’s legs weakened, and he nearly stumbled and fell to the ground.

However, he quickly regained his balance and smiled at Ruby as if nothing had happened, then continued to walk straight ahead.

When they arrived at the underground parking lot, Steve walked past his own car without showing any reaction. It was Ruby who finally spoke up and stopped him.

Steve stopped in his tracks, hurriedly fished for his car keys, but ended up pulling out his house key instead. He kept pressing it for a while, before muttering, “Is it out of battery?”

Then he tried to insert the key into the car door.

Steve struggled with it for a while without success. Finally, Ruby couldn’t help but walk over. She took the car key out of Steve’s pocket, opened the car door for him. He smiled and accepted the car key from Ruby, saying, “Oh, I grabbed the wrong key.”

After finishing his sentence, he laughed a couple more times before bending down to sit in the car.

Ruby got in the car as well, fastened her seat belt and looked at Steve, who held the car key in his hand and stared straight ahead, seemingly lost in thought.

Unable to help herself, Ruby called his name, “Steve.”

Steve came back to his senses and hurriedly started the engine. He then sat silently for about five minutes before finally stepping on the accelerator and driving away.

Throughout the journey, Steve remained composed and drove at a steady speed. He continued to keep his eyes on the road, without looking at Ruby or saying anything.

Ruby sat in the passenger seat, staring out the window, her mind a complete mess.

She hadn’t mistaken it, after she had told him her past, his series of absentminded actions indicated that he was more upset than she was.

Throughout this period, he had treated her so nicely – she couldn’t have misunderstood that.

So, regardless of how harshly he had once treated her, deep down in his heart, there still was a place for her, right?

And during this time, they had shared such warm and beautiful moments, which even brought her an unprecedented sense of ease and happiness.
