After a while, she didn’t know what had come over her, but she found herself typing a single word on her phone and sending it.
[Are you there?]
As soon as she sent the message, Ruby realized what she had just done. She instinctively tried to retract her message, but it was too late.
This only meant that he had already seen her WhatsApp message.
Ruby stomped her foot in annoyance. Had she gone mad? Why on earth was she initiating a conversation with Steve Burton? novelbuddy.cσ๓
The more she thought about it, the more mortified she felt. Just as she was about to grab her hair in frustration, she saw Steve’s reply on her phone screen: [Yes?]
It was the exact same message she had sent, just with a different tone.
But Ruby didn’t know how the same word “yes” could have such a magical effect, instantly soothing the loss, irritation, unease, and confusion in her heart.
She even noticed that her heartbeat had settled down, even feeling a sense of inexplicable joy.
Before Ruby could reply to the message, Steve sent another one: [Finished dinner?]
[Yes.] Without even realizing it, Ruby had already sent the reply. She paused for a moment, then sent another message: [And you?]
[I did.]
[Oh] Ruby typed a dry “oh” and didn’t know what else to say. She didn’t want her chat with Steve to end so abruptly, so after thinking for a while, she sent him another message: [Mrs. Burton called my mom and said we should get engaged. Was this your decision?]
Steve was sitting in the living room on the first floor of the Burtons’ Mansion, watching a mindless 8:00 p.m. drama with his mother. The show had come to its most heartbreaking moment, where the main couple goes their separate ways. His mom, who already had two daughters and a son, was crying like a sentimental young girl, wiping her tears with tissues and saying: “Too sad, just too sad.”
As Steve looked at his weepy mom, he saw Ruby’s message and couldn’t help but smile. He calmly typed a reply to her: [Yes.]
Actually, Ruby had known about this all along. Steve was the only one in the world who would be willing to marry her.
But when she saw the word “yes” from Steve, a warm feeling she couldn’t quite explain washed over her. She bit her lower lip and sent another message: [You mentioned earlier that when the time comes, it’ll be our marriage, right?]
[Mhm.]
Ruby’s heart raced as she saw Steve’s affirmation. She had suspected that he wanted to marry her when she was in the hospital. Now she had his complete certainty.

Deep down, she always had a doubt that had made her lose all her dignity and suffer greatly.
She had always wanted to ask him, but she never dared. But now, she typed out the question she had asked him countless times in her dreams and sent it to him.
[If that’s the case, why did you treat me that way after sleeping with me three years ago?]
Ruby’s question went unanswered, as if it had sunk into the bottom of the ocean, and a long time passed without a reply.
