“What time will it be over?”
“I don’t know.”
“I’ll wait for you at your apartment, then.”
Steve Burton thought for a moment and said, “Okay.”
–
After hanging up the phone, Steve looked through the car window at Ruby Gregory holding her cell phone for a while, then put the phone on the passenger seat, put on a Bluetooth headset, and called Edward Woods to ask about the location of the dinner party while driving away slowly.
–
Ruby waited for her coat to arrive, then called her driver to take her to Steve’s apartment.
In the over 300 square meters residence, there was no one around, and the place was exceptionally quiet. Ruby didn’t feel like watching TV, but she turned it on anyway.
When she felt hungry around eleven o’clock, she got up from the sofa and made herself a bowl of noodles in the kitchen. She chewed slowly and thoroughly, washed the silverware afterward, and placed them in the disinfection cabinet. Only then did she put on slippers and go upstairs.
She picked out a pair of long-sleeved pajamas from the dressing room, took a bath, changed her clothes, and thought about the pregnancy while using a hairdryer. Concerned about radiation, she put down the hairdryer and picked up her towel, meticulously drying her hair under the warm light.
As her hair was almost dry, Ruby finally heard the sound of the door opening downstairs. She put down the towel, went out and saw Rusell Henris and Edward Woods helping Steve inside the house.
Rusell noticed Ruby first, greeted her, and said, “Your brother is drunk.”
Immediately, he and Edward sent Steve upstairs with great difficulty.
Ruby hurried downstairs, juiced a glass of watermelon, brought it upstairs, handed it to Rusell, and then squatted down to help Steve take off his shoes.
Although Steve was very drunk, his mind was still very clear. When Rusell gave him the watermelon juice, he stared blankly for a moment, then sat up crookedly and drank it all in one go.
Ruby, who was still squatting on the ground, took off Steve’s shoes and was about to cover him with a blanket when he suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were very black and bright, not at all like someone who was drunk. He watched her for a moment and then spoke, “Didn’t you say you had something important to talk to me about?”
Ruby turned her head to look at Edward and Rusell.
Steve got out of bed and said to Edward and Rusell, “You two, get out.”
Edward and Rusell quickly left the room.
Steve then looked at Ruby and said, “What’s the matter, go on.”
He then raised his hand and without any hesitation or cover, began undressing in front of Ruby.
Feeling shy, Ruby lowered her gaze, “You had a lot to drink. Let’s rest first and talk tomorrow.”
Steve picked up his nearby pajamas, calmly putting them on and buttoning them up. Hearing Ruby’s words, he turned his head and looked at her, “You’ve brought it up this far; do you think I can sleep now?”
He went to the water dispenser, took a cup, and began filling it with water.
The bedroom was very quiet, with only the sound of the purified water falling into the cup.
As the cup was filled, Steve looked at Ruby again. She finally pursed her lips, stared at Steve with determination, and spoke softly, “Steve, do you want us to have a child now?”
