697  Chapter 697: Chaotic Baby-Making (17)

Who's being so rude?

Steve Burton's brows furrowed in anger, annoyance bubbling up inside him. He forcefully swung the door open without even checking who was outside and snapped at the person, "If you're sick, go take your medicine! What's with the commotion outside my door?"

-

Ruby's belly had grown quite a bit, making it hard for her to kick the door. Although she was furious, she didn't lose her mind, and for the sake of The Triplets in her stomach, she decided to give up kicking. Rubbing her sore hand, she was just about to continue her attack when the door was suddenly flung open, accompanied by a familiar and unpleasant remark, "If you're sick, go take your medicine! What's with the commotion outside my door?"

For a woman who was being willful, it wasn't important why a man said something. What mattered was that his harsh words were directed at her. In an instant, Ruby's anger was ignited by Steve's comment.

Sick? Steve called her sick?

Ruby glared and, without even thinking, lifted up her phone to throw at Steve, "Steve, you bastard!"

After uttering his angrily worded remark, Steve looked up and finally noticed Ruby standing in the dimly lit hallway. It was as if someone had struck an acupoint on him, leaving him momentarily stunned. He didn't react when Ruby's phone flew towards him. The device struck him hard in the chest before landing squarely on his foot.

The pain from both the blow to his chest and strike to his foot brought Steve back to his senses. He looked at Ruby and opened his mouth, "Ruby, how did you get here?"

What kind of tone was that?

Ruby's anger burned even more fiercely, and she tossed her bag at Steve's head viciously, "Steve, you bastard! Why can't I come here? Are you hoping I wouldn't show up?"

Steve became anxious upon being scolded by Ruby, not paying any attention to the pain in his chest and foot. He quickly shook his head and tried to explain, "Ruby, that's not what I meant, I..."

Before Steve could finish, Ruby interjected with a stream of angry words, "Not what you meant? What did you mean then! And also, Steve, who were you calling sick? You're the sick one! Your whole family is sick! What's wrong with me making a fuss at your doorstep? That's right, I'm causing a scene! What can you do, call the police, go ahead!"

Ruby said as she raised her hand, "smack smack smack," slapping Steve's door several times in a row.

He not only didn't answer her calls but also went on blind dates, and now he called her sick...

Ruby unconsciously raised her hand to throw something at Steve again, but realized her hands were empty. She reached out to grab the phone in Steve's hand. When she threw it at him, she remembered that he hadn't dodged her previous two throws. So, the moment she threw the phone, she slightly bent her wrist, causing the phone to hit the wall instead.

"Ruby, I'm in the wrong, I'm the one who's sick. Don't be angry, please don't be angry..." Steve didn't even glance at the phone that had been thrown, its back cover shattered. He just tried his best to say nice things to soothe Ruby in front of him.
