Chapter 524: Chapter 524: So You Knew It All Along (34)
He stared at Ruby Gregory, looking straight at her. He couldn’t tell if he was afraid of losing her or jealous of Edric Reat. He looked around and suddenly stood up, sweeping the computer on the table onto the floor with force: “You think your elopement with Edric three years ago wasn’t enough, so now you’re planning to have another elopement openly, is that it?”
When Ruby heard these words, her body trembled violently. The next second, she raised her head sharply and looked at Steve Burton. Her eyes were filled with disbelief, and her face turned as pale as paper in an instant. Her lips trembled, and after a while, she managed to ask, “What do you know?”
“What didn’t you want me to know?” The incident from three years ago had haunted him countless sleepless nights. When he thought about it, he was disturbed and upset. At this moment, he blurted it out without hesitation, addressing Ruby directly: “You didn’t want me to know you went with Edric to Zhouzhuang and stayed there for three days and two nights? Or that you and Edric visited every corner of Zhouzhuang during those three days and two nights? Or that you and Edric shared the same room during those three days and two nights?”
With each question from Steve, Ruby’s face grew paler, and he would angrily grab anything on the table and smash it to the ground.
By the time he finished speaking, everything on the desk had been smashed clean.
Ruby clenched her fists tightly. She thought the incident three years ago was a secret known only to her and Edric. But she never expected Steve to have known it all along…
No wonder three years ago, after he slept with her, he mocked her and refused her…
She had thought that she successfully deceived everyone.
It turned out that he knew everything.
Ruby looked at Steve, moving her lips, but eventually only uttered a few words: “So you knew everything.”
“Yes, I know everything.”
Her first time was with him.
But it was clear that she was just using him as a tool – a tool that would allow her to marry him once they had shared a bed.
In her heart, she had wanted to save her first time for Edric.
No one knew that when he found out she had secretly gone to Zhouzhuang with Edric, he had also gone there alone overnight, knowing how it felt when they slept in the same room.
It was a torturous, agonizing time that seemed never-ending, every second stretching into an eternity.
He sat outside the hotel where they were staying, staring dryly at the room they were in, and spent the whole night there.
It was the darkest time of his life, one that tormented him to no end whenever he thought about it.
He could bear the fact that she married him for the sake of the Gregory family, and he could even tolerate her not loving him. But he couldn’t bear the fact that she could love someone else while using him. freewebnoveℓ.com
They say that the person who loves the deepest can be hurt the most.
This saying was not false at all… He witnessed with his own eyes how his heart was chopped into pieces by her, bit by bit.
What’s even more ridiculous was that her first time – which he had anticipated, cherished and even hesitated to take – was nothing more than a handout from her.
