Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Never Touch Her Again (15)
After being suddenly kicked out of Steve Burton’s room with a change of his facial expression, Ruby Gregory became cautious. She noticed that Steve didn’t actually hate her, as every time she was kicked out and found an excuse to return after a couple of hours, everything would be fine between them.

However, this peaceful state would sometimes last for a longer period of time, while other times it would be much shorter. In any case, it was always when Ruby was confused and uncertain, Steve would suddenly turn his back on her and start pushing her away.
Steve had a good physique, and after the fever subsided, he recovered quickly. Eventually, he could walk on his own. Instead of kicking Ruby out, he would suddenly become inexplicably cold-faced or angry-faced, stand up, and leave. Sometimes he would lock himself in the study for a long time, and when it was time for dinner, he would eat at the same table with Ruby as if nothing had happened. Other times, he would go directly to the second bedroom. Once or twice, Ruby, curious, secretly eavesdropped at the door of the second bedroom. Other than the faint sound of water, she didn’t hear anything unusual coming from the room. There was even an instance when Steve had just taken a bath not long ago, emerged from the second bedroom half an hour later, wet from head to toe, as his phone suddenly rang. It was a call from the company, and Ruby brought the phone to him, puzzled.
Steve occasionally still had bouts of fever, so he didn’t go to the company, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t working.
Just like when Ruby was hospitalized, and Steve accompanied her, every morning, either Ms. Taylor, Rusell Henris, Howard Coleman, or Edward Woods would bring a large stack of documents to work on.
Ruby was worried about Steve’s health, so she would always find ways to help him relax when he had been working for a while.
Sometimes the two of them would play cards, sometimes they would watch movies together.
In fact, most of the time, they watched movies. Some films were classic DVDs that Steve’s family already owned, while others were directly connected to the internet for online viewing by Ruby.
Ruby actually thought that apart from Steve’s occasional strange departures, her time spent with him during this period was quite enjoyable and even closer than at any other time.
However, she always felt that something was missing between her and Steve. Despite giving it much thought, she couldn’t figure it out and felt that the distance between them was like a vast ocean and mountains that couldn’t be crossed.
One evening, after dinner, Ruby found a newly released movie and invited Steve to watch it in the bedroom.
The two of them leaned against the bed, sitting on the floor with some snacks prepared by Mrs. Taylor in front of them.
The movie was a comedy, starring popular celebrities with excellent acting skills and unforgettable lines. It made Ruby giggle non-stop.
Steve, on the other hand, didn’t find this kind of film as appealing as Hollywood blockbusters. However, seeing Ruby happy, he decided he could put up with it.
In the middle of the movie, Mrs. Taylor also brought a pot of fruit tea. Seeing the harmonious scene between Steve and Ruby, she couldn’t help but smile happily.
