Chapter 675: Chapter 675: Qingqing, I Like You (5)
 

Russell Henris was in the lobby of the Sapphire Bistro when he saw Steve Burton. He was just about to follow him, but was suddenly stopped by a waiter from the Sapphire Bistro, reminding him to pay the bill.

Russell quickly took out his card and handed it to the cashier. After swiping the card, he rushed out of the Sapphire Bistro’s door, only to see Steve Burton’s car speeding away.

How could he drive after drinking so much alcohol?

Russell hurriedly got into his own car and followed Steve.

Ruby Gregory had been sent home by Steve Burton in the afternoon. She wondered why he suddenly became so strange, which made her mood low as well.

She had trouble sleeping last night so Ruby took a nap in the afternoon. When she woke up, her nanny had already prepared dinner.

After having dinner, Ruby listened to some prenatal music and helped her nanny prepare another bedroom with a baby crawling blanket. They arranged three strollers neatly and hung a musical mobile above the bed. Ruby then took a picture with her phone and posted it on Twitter.

After posting, Ruby kept an eye on her phone.

In the past, Steve would usually like her tweet shortly after she posted something, but this time, despite receiving likes and comments from others, there was no response from Steve.

Ruby’s original depressed mood became even more disheartened.

At ten o’clock, after drinking her pregnancy milk, she went to bed as usual but couldn’t fall asleep. Several times, she picked up her phone to check if there was any response on her Twitter page.

By eleven thirty, Ruby got up, poured herself a glass of water, threw her phone on the table, and prepared to stop thinking and go to sleep. But then she heard the doorbell.

Who would come to visit her so late at night?

Ruby sat up, puzzled, and then heard a “bang bang bang” sound coming from the door.

This time it wasn’t the doorbell ringing, but someone was hitting the door with their fists.

Ruby got out of bed, walked out of the bedroom, and asked, “Who is it?”

There was no answer.

The knocking on the door grew louder, awakening the nanny in the next room. Barefoot, she ran out and asked with a blank face, “Who is it?”

Ruby shook her head.

The nanny rubbed her eyes, then walked over to the door, peered through the peephole, and started to unlock the door.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ruby knew that if the nanny was willing to open the door, it must be someone she recognized. Just as she was about to ask, “Who is it?”, the door was pulled open to reveal Steve Burton’s handsome face.

“Mr. Burton, why are you here so late?” asked the nanny with a smile.

Steve didn’t say a word, his eyes fixed on Ruby.

The nanny looked back at Ruby, and Ruby smiled before saying to her, “You go and rest first.”

The nanny nodded and quickly ran back to her bedroom. Ruby waited until she had closed the door before walking over to Steve, who was still standing in the doorway.

As she got closer, Ruby could smell the strong scent of alcohol on Steve, and frowned involuntarily, “Why did you drink so much?”

Steve still didn’t say a word. Ruby gestured to the sofa inside and said, “Come in first.”

Seeing that Steve still didn’t react, Ruby reached out, grabbed his hand, and pulled him into the house before closing the door behind them.
