Chapter 653: Sugar Water, Candy, Sugar (3)
Steve Burton had spent quite some time with Ruby Gregory, but apart from the first encounter when he followed her home from work, he never saw Edric Reat again. He often wondered why Edric didn't accompany her more often. Once, he even felt angered when he saw Ruby, heavily pregnant, carrying a lot of fruit home by herself, thinking Edric didn't treat her well.
At that time, he was so righteous in defending Ruby. But now, finally encountering Edric again, Steve felt even more uncomfortable deep down.
Since learning about Ruby's relationship with Edric, Steve always respected her boundaries and never crossed the line. He wondered if his ulterior motives towards Ruby had something to do with his awkwardness in Edric's presence.
Ruby, too, had complex emotions stirring inside her. She knew that to Steve, she was Edric's fiancée. She should say goodbye to Steve and go to Edric, but she couldn't seem to do what she was supposed to.
