Ruby Gregory, who originally looked a little frightened, suddenly froze when she heard Steve Burton's string of frustrated words.
So the reason Steve had not touched her for so many days was not because he had grown tired of her body, but because he had long known that she had taken painkillers?
Steve didn't know what he had just blurted out in his anger. He wanted even more desperately to vent, so he fiercely threw the medicine plate toward the bed, sniffed, and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You don't want me to touch you, but you can't help but consider your family's interests, so you're using these pills to fend me off!"
"Ruby Gregory, let me tell you! If you don't want to do that sort of thing, I won't force you. Do you fucking think I'm keen to touch you? If you ever let me catch you playing those twisted games again for the sake of the Gregorys, I swear I'll immediately bring down Gregory's Enterprises!"
