Ruby Gregory found herself at a loss for words, her little face so red it seemed like it could drip blood.

After hearing Ruby Gregory’s words, Steve Burton was stunned, then stunned again, and the next moment, he rolled over and pressed on top of Ruby Gregory.

Steve Burton and Ruby Gregory had shared many intimate moments, but this time, whether it was because much time had passed or happiness came too swiftly, Steve found himself a bit unable to get his bearings. His caresses and kisses seemed hesitant, as if he were a novice in this art.

Finally, when Steve Burton entered Ruby Gregory’s body, that long-missed warmth pulsated through him, and the intense stimulation nearly caused him to surrender then and there.

Steve Burton endured the dizzying impact that Ruby Gregory brought upon him, staying atop her for about a minute to quiet the desire racing through his body, before he lowered his head and fiercely sealed her lips with his own to revel in the tenderness and bliss that’s unique to lovers.

Outside the window, the wind and rain were intense, accompanied by flashes of lightning and rolls of thunder, while inside, the room was filled with a romantic atmosphere, radiant with the glow of spring.

Perhaps because it had been so long since he indulged to this extent, Steve Burton’s vigor was almost frightening. He let himself sink into passion three times before finally embracing Ruby Gregory and collapsing onto the soft bed.

Both their bodies were drenched in sweat, sticky yet comfortably so, enveloped by an ineffable sense of satisfaction lingering between them.

The European-style clock on the wall tick-tocked away. Once Steve had regained some strength, he carried Ruby Gregory to the bathroom, where they took a quick shower.

Back in bed, Ruby Gregory nestled weakly in Steve Burton’s arms like a pool of spring water.

She was entirely limp, slightly tired, yet too exhilarated to sleep.

Steve Burton, despite his usual stamina, was now a bit weary from the indulgence. Cradling Ruby Gregory close, he listened to the sounds of the wind, rain, and thunder outside the window and thought about that dream he described when he proposed to her.

A kiss before sleep, holding you through the night, waking up to you by my side.

At this moment, the dream had indeed come true.

Reflecting on this, Steve couldn’t help but pull Ruby’s soft body closer into his embrace.

As Ruby Gregory lay against Steve Burton’s chest, she listened to his strong heartbeat and began to count in her head. When she reached one hundred and three, she suddenly remembered leaving The Sapphire Bistro, how he had carried her on his back, and that troubling question he had asked her: “Do you, perhaps, like Edric Reat?”

Why would Steve have such a thought?

Ruby Gregory shifted her head against Steve’s chest and looked up at his chin, calling out softly, “Steve.”

“Mhm?” The man looked down, his lips brushing against her forehead.

Blinking her eyes in confusion, Ruby asked, “Why did you think I liked Edric Reat?”

Only when Ruby Gregory asked this question did Steve Burton remember the incident that had troubled him for more than three years. He swallowed twice, his voice coming out somewhat faint as he asked, “Ruby, why did you go to Zhouzhuang with Edric Reat three years ago?”

[Please don’t rush me to conclude ‘Time with Ruby’ and focus on writing Madeleine and Howard’s story. ‘Time with Ruby’ has always been my focus. Before I started drafting this story, I planned the little moments of sweetness they’d share after reconciling. It’s not much, nor is it long, but I still want to write it. I’ve always finished up the main couple’s story soon after they reconcile, and many complained about rushed endings~ This time I specifically prepared some sweetness for everyone, yet now I’m criticized for dragging it on, which is frustrating~]
