Chapter 494: So You Knew It All Along (4)
Leaving Steve Burton's warm embrace, Ruby Gregory felt a sudden chill engulfing her entire body.
In the empty study, she was all alone, with the lingering scent of their lovemaking still lingering in the air.
Yet there was infinite sadness, instantly filling Ruby's heart.
Before, she had thought that once Steve married her, she would keep her distance from him. She even thought that if she could just have a child, she would want him not to touch her for the rest of his life and let him do whatever he wanted outside.
But now that the day had indeed come, Steve was neither hot nor cold towards her, treating her with icy politeness. Even when he touched her, it was only to fulfill their marital obligations, leaving immediately once it was over.
She found herself not wanting things to be this way.
Ruby was still puzzled why Steve had been so furious that day. After much contemplation, she realized that it seemed to be because she had returned his money.
