At first, Ruby Gregory was a little nervous and excited, waiting for Steve Burton’s reply. Could it be that the confusion hidden deep in her heart for three years, a full three years, was about to be resolved?
However, as time went by, there was still no reply from Steve. She slowly started to feel a sense of unease.
Had her message hit a raw nerve?
Why bring up the incident from three years ago that had made him so furious?
Her mom told her that regardless of the difficulties, they’d managed to get through the past. She urged her not to obsess over it…
But why did she impulsively ask about his past?
Ruby Gregory started to panic and looked for a way to shift the topic or mend things, yet she didn’t know how. Spotting a cup of milk in a thermos, she instinctively sent a message to Steve:[Do you want some milk?]
Upon sending the message, Ruby felt that her attempt to change the topic and rectify the situation was overly clumsy.
Steve Burton definitely wouldn’t reply to her.
However, to her surprise, Steve suddenly replied:[Yes.]
Ruby was taken aback at first, and then she quickly replied:[I’ll bring it to you now.] ƒrēenovelkiss.com
[Sure, meet me on the balcony.]
The balcony?
Ruby Gregory was taken aback for a while and then walked curiously towards the balcony. That’s when she saw Steve Burton standing on the adjoining balcony, holding his mobile phone, looking at her.
The houses of The Gregorys and The Burtons were less than half a meter apart. Steve lived in the easternmost part of the Burton Villa and Ruby in the westernmost part of the Gregory Villa. Their bedrooms were on the second floor and happened to be adjacent to each other, the balconies too were just half a meter apart.
Under the balcony light emanating from Steve’s bedroom, his profile appeared more profound.
The sky behind him was filled with stars.

Ruby Gregory stood at the entrance of her balcony, staring at Steve on the opposite balcony for a while. Then, holding the thermos cup, she slowly walked over to the end of her balcony.
Steve also took a few steps forward as she approached.
Both of them ended up standing at the edge of their respective balconies, separated by a white jade railing.
Steve casually rested his hands on the railing and looked at her without speaking.
Ruby Gregory held onto her own railing with one hand and locked eyes with Steve for a moment. She then lowered her gaze, handing over the thermos cup: “Here, milk.”
A soft night breeze began to blow, causing her long hair to fly in the wind and her pure white nightgown to dance in the air.
Behind her, a string of colorful lights was constantly flickering.
Steve looked at the pure woman in front of him and slowly reached out his hand.
Their hands met in mid-air, he took the thermos cup from Ruby’s hand and held it in his own, but did not drink.
Ruby Gregory held onto the railing with both hands, her body leaning forward slightly. Suddenly, she chuckled and reminisced, “When we were young, it seems like you often climbed from there to here.”
Steve’s lips curled into a smile. His eyes never left Ruby’s face, “That’s because someone couldn’t sleep because she watched ghost stories late at night and insisted on having someone accompany her.”
