Ruby Gregory opened it, only to find that it was filled with various small snacks.
Some things never entered her heart, but they were precious habits that he had carefully guarded and cherished all his life.
Perhaps it was due to those years when she would call him late at night for snacks every night that formed a habit. In the more than a thousand days when she was not around, no matter how busy or how late he was, whether he was on a business trip or staying in his own apartment in the city, or even not going home at all, or knowing full well that the woman was no longer in the room next to him, he still habitually prepared a bag of snacks.
Maybe he kept them in the car, maybe he threw them in his bedroom at the Mansion, maybe he threw them in his apartment in the city, or maybe he threw them directly in a hotel while on a business trip.
He would always go to a convenience store at a certain moment, carefully choosing her favorite, newly launched snacks.
This habit formed over the years, which he couldn’t get rid of. Many times, he was so busy during the day and was caught up in dinner and card games in the evening, but at eleven o’clock, he would always find an excuse to leave for a while.
He clearly remembered one time, in a private room at The Sapphire Bistro.
The host of the party was a rich second-generation kid from Ciawell, who had invited almost all the prettiest girls in the city.
Actually, he didn’t like such flashy occasions, but he couldn’t help it when you’re dealing with the business world. He had to put up a front since most people like to negotiate deals in such settings.
That night, among the entourage of girls, there was a woman with long black hair down to her waist. She wore a sky-blue hairpin and a long blue dress. She stood tall among the flamboyant girls, looking like a lotus flower emerging from the water. frёewebηovel.cѳm
His mood that evening was quite good until he saw that woman and was instantly reminded of Ruby Gregory.
In fact, the woman didn’t look like Ruby Gregory, but the blue dress, her height, and long hair had some resemblance.
By that time, Ruby had been in Costa Luna for a whole year.
His mood instantly plummeted. He eventually called for that woman but didn’t touch her in the slightest, didn’t even give her a word or a glance. He just held his wine glass and drank the entire time.
He eventually got quite drunk, stumbled upon standing up and had difficulty walking.
He threw up violently in the luxurious toilet at The Sapphire Bistro before his driver helped him out of the stall. As he propped himself against the sink splashing water on his face, he suddenly asked the worried driver beside him, “What time is it now?”
“It’s already 10:40.”

Ten forty… At that time, he was really quite drunk. He turned off the faucet, swayed towards the exit of the restroom, and the driver quickly helped him.
After getting down the stairs and into the car, he sat in the back seat, supporting his aching forehead with his hand, and said, “Go to the nearest convenience store.”
The car didn’t drive for more than ten minutes before it stopped in front of a convenience store. As he reached out to push the door open, the driver rushed over, opened the door for him, and held him, “Mr. Burton, what do you want to buy? I can buy it for you.”
