The man seemed calm and composed, but Ruby Gregory felt somewhat restless.

Ever since returning to the country, she was truly afraid of being alone with him.

Ruby hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: “Isn’t the celebration ceremony starting soon? Shouldn’t you go back and get ready?”

Steve Burton didn’t turn to look at Ruby. He maintained his posture, gazing at the moon. His fair and handsome face looked even more elegant and refined under the moonlight, “There’s still over an hour.”

Ruby’s original intention was to find an excuse to leave with Steve and enter the banquet hall. She could then conveniently avoid him. However, she didn’t expect him to respond directly with time as a rejection.

Ruby remained silent for a while before saying, “Our colleagues might be there already. I’ll go check.”

Steve knew her intentions as soon as Ruby said her first sentence.

He knew, he had always known, that her approach, initiative, and concern for him were purposeful.

It was like the time when she wanted to have his child. She actively brought him late-night snacks, massaged his shoulders and forehead, and didn’t refuse him when he wanted her again and again.

Has she given up on the idea of becoming his wife now?

That’s why she’s been trying so hard to avoid him, escape him, and distance herself from him.

He understood all of this.

However, it wasn’t until this very situation played out before his eyes that he realized how deeply his heart ached.

He only wished to enjoy the scenery with her during this hard-earned stolen time together.

Even if this enjoyment wasn’t a result of her willingness, nor had they agreed on it beforehand.

Even if it was just him pretending they were enjoying such a beautiful view together.

However, even this little bit of self-deception driven by selfish desires was just an extravagant hope.

Steve’s eyes narrowed slightly.

This made Ruby feel slightly defensive in her heart, her desire to leave Steve grew even stronger. She subconsciously squatted down to pick up some scattered little items from the ground.

Ruby stuffed them carelessly into her bag, stood up, and glanced at Steve before saying, “I’ll go ahead.”

It was then that Steve finally turned his head and looked at Ruby, before lowering his gaze to see a small box by his feet.

Steve bent down to pick up the box and inspected it. It turned out to be a tube of ointment.

His pupils contracted slightly as he looked at Ruby with a rather serious expression in his eyes: “Are you injured?”

Ruby felt that Steve’s question was inexplicable and subconsciously shook her head..
