Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Giving You Six Yuan (5)
Ruby Gregory placed the roasted chestnuts in the car and, before getting out, didn’t forget to search for her family book in her bag. She then asked Steve Burton, “Where is your family book?”
As she said that, Ruby handed her family book to Steve, “Let’s put them together.”
Steve took Ruby’s family book and took out the Burton family book from his pocket. He put the two family books together, thinking that they would need them once they entered the Civil Affairs Bureau, so he held them in his hand.
Ruby stared at the two family books in Steve’s hand for a moment, then looped her arm through his and walked towards the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
There happened to be a sewer just below the steps at the main entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. As Ruby passed by, her eyes flickered for a moment, and she deliberately twisted her ankle outwards, crying out in pain.
“What’s wrong, Ruby?” Steve immediately stopped in his tracks, grabbed her by the shoulder, and asked worriedly.
“I think I sprained my ankle.”
Steve immediately squatted down while holding the two family books between his armpit. He reached out to check Ruby’s ankle.
When Steve touched her ankle, Ruby suddenly snatched the two family books from under Steve’s armpit without warning. She casually flipped through them, saw Maxwell Gregory’s name, and then, without a thought, tossed the other family book into the sewer.
Just then, water rushed in. The family book swirled twice and was immediately swept away.
Ruby’s series of movements were incredibly fast. By the time Steve came to his senses, the Burton family book had long disappeared.
Steve looked up sharply at Ruby.
“Mr. Burton, how does it feel to be deceived?” Ruby playfully twisted her supposedly sprained ankle, then leaned down and grinned at Steve, who was still squatting on the ground. “Steve, now that the Burton family book is gone, we can’t get a marriage license. What a pity.”
The expression on Ruby’s face was somewhat malicious. The next second, she took six coins out of her pocket and handed them to Steve, “It costs US$1 to get a new family book. Here, as an apology, I’m giving you US$1.”
“I’ve already checked on Baidu. It takes roughly two weeks to get a new family book. With the Burton’s influence, I’m sure it will be sorted out in a day. However, Steve… I heard that getting a marriage license requires an ID card. It takes at least a month to get a new ID card!”
Ruby’s tone became increasingly gentle, “Steve, if you dare to deceive me with your mother and mine, to get me to register with you again, I’ll throw away my ID card!”
With that said, Ruby’s face was immediately filled with smiles. She reached out and gently patted Steve’s somewhat stiff face, saying regretfully, “Now all we can do is go home.”
Then, with great arrogance, Ruby pulled Steve up from the ground and went back to the car.
On the return trip, the previously excited Steve had a depressed look on his face, while the previously puzzled Ruby seemed excited. Ruby even imitated Steve’s excited mood earlier and chatted with him about various topics.
However, before the car had traveled even two kilometers, Ruby suddenly saw a familiar face through the window and stopped her chatter abruptly.
PS: Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Guess who Ruby saw? Brother Steve, you can’t get the marriage license without a proposal~~ Are you all not leaving any comments because you want me to continue torturing them? Are you going to let the Triplets lose one of theirs? Or let Ruby suddenly have a car accident and lose her memory? The story of Madeleine and Howard will be written! Although many people say they don’t care to read it, I’ll still write it for those readers who want to read it~ Don’t worry~
