Chapter 603: Chapter 603: Sweet and Warm Heating Up (7)
Ruby Gregory put the milk powder in the shopping cart. While lining up for checkout with Steve Burton, she saw the pregnant woman’s milk powder and couldn’t help but feel a bit upset. “This supermarket used to have foreign milk powder brands. I don’t know why they were taken off the shelves.”
After a pause, Ruby muttered, “If I had known, I would have brought some milk powder back when I returned from Costa Luna. There have been too many problems with domestic milk powder, I’m not comfortable drinking it.”

On the way back from the supermarket, Ruby played with her phone in the passenger seat. She seemed to find something funny, giggling softly, which caught Steve’s attention. He glanced at her several times.
Ruby noticed Steve looking at her. When he parked the car by the entrance of their residential area, she showed him her phone, pointing to a joke on the screen.
After reading it, Steve gave a faint smile and noticed Ruby’s Twitter username: Twin’s Mom.
Though he had known the news of her twin pregnancy for the entire afternoon, seeing her username somehow still stung his eyes. Quickly looking away, he tried to keep his voice steady and said, “We’re here.”
Ruby nodded, put her phone away in her bag, and unbuckled her seatbelt to get out of the car.
Steve followed her, opened the back door, took her shopping bags, and handed them to her.
Ruby took the bags and said, “Thank you.”
Then she added, “Goodbye.” ƒгeewёbnovel.com
As she said those words, Ruby felt a slight sense of melancholy. She wondered when they would meet again after this sudden separation.
Steve gazed at her face for a moment, warm and gentle, then nodded slightly, “Goodbye.”
Ruby didn’t want to leave, but she had no choice. She stood in front of Steve for a long time before managing a slight smile. “Alright, I’ll go in first.”
Steve nodded.
“Thank you for today,” Ruby found another sentence to say before finally turning around and entering the complex.
Steve waited until she disappeared around the corner of a building before returning to his car, sitting for a moment, and then driving away.
On his way back to his city apartment, he stopped at a red light and noticed a bookstore across the street that was still open. He remembered Ruby saying she couldn’t eat crab during her pregnancy. After hesitating for a moment, he turned his car around at the next traffic light and pulled into the bookstore.
He searched the shelves for a while and finally found a row of books about pregnancy tips. Not sure which one to buy, he decided to grab one of each before paying and returning to his apartment with two large bags of books.
After taking a shower and lying in bed, Steve carefully read A Handbook for Pregnant Women. Although he usually read quickly, it took him two hours to get through just a third of the book.
His eyes felt tired from staring at the book for so long. Steve put the book on the bedside table, rubbed his temple, and picked up his phone to check the time. After a moment’s thought, he decided to download the Twitter app.
