Chapter 680: Chapter 680: Qingqing, I Like You (10)
 

Her sudden burst of tears caught Steve Burton off guard, causing him to hastily lift his hands and cup her face, wiping away her tears.

“Ruby, don’t cry… Ruby… If you don’t like this question, you don’t have to consider it, don’t cry…”

Ruby Gregory’s crying intensified, and her mind was in a mess. She had a lot to say to him, but didn’t know where to start. Finally, she suddenly reached out her arms, tightly wrapping them around his waist, burying her head in his chest and crying even louder.

Steve tried to stretch out his hands to pull her away from his chest and help her wipe away her tears, but she only buried her head deeper into his chest.

Although he was rather drunk, he was still afraid of using too much force and hurting her, especially since she was pregnant. In the end, Steve slowly stretched out his hands to hold her, gently stroking her back.

It took a while before Ruby stopped crying, but she still held on to Steve tightly, not escaping from his embrace.

As time went on, the alcohol in Steve’s stomach continued to churn and ferment, making him feel increasingly dazed. Eventually, he swayed violently.

Ruby slowly regained her composure and helped Steve out of the bathroom.

As soon as Ruby opened the bathroom door, she heard her cellphone ringing from the bedroom.

She frowned, helped Steve, who was now completely drunk, to the living room couch, made sure he was seated properly, and then returned to the bedroom.

As she picked up her phone, she saw that she had seven or eight missed calls from Rusell Henris.

Ruby unlocked her phone and returned Rusell’s call. After just one ring he picked up: “Rusell?”

“Ruby? Did I wake you up?”

“No… I haven’t slept yet.” Ruby paused and then asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Is Steve there?” Rusell explained the situation: “He drank a lot tonight, suddenly drove off, and I lost him halfway. No one answered when I called, but I found his car unlocked at the entrance of Winsome Gardens on West 2nd Ring Road. I knew you lived there…”

Rusell paused at that point, but the meaning in his words couldn’t have been more obvious. Ruby looked at the man, who was now a drunken mess on the couch, considering the events of the night. There was nowhere for him to rest, and he was too drunk for any conversation. After thinking for a moment, she said, “He’s here. My address is…”

Ruby gave her address to Rusell and hung up. She then left her bedroom, went to the bathroom to get a wet towel, and wiped Steve’s face clean.

At this point, the man was completely intoxicated, mumbling something unintelligibly as she wiped his face. It wasn’t until Ruby finished wiping his face and was about to take the towel away that she heard him calling her name: “Ruby… Ruby…”

Ruby’s fingers paused, and she couldn’t help but clench the towel tightly, her gaze on Steve growing more confused.
