Chapter 743: Chapter 743: A Mysterious Express Delivery (3)
 

Even though The Triplets were asleep, Madam Burton still made a special trip upstairs to see her three grandchildren, leaving Steve Burton and Ruby Gregory alone in the living room on the first floor.

The servant brought afternoon tea to Steve and Ruby. Just as Steve was about to reach for the spoon, he remembered that he hadn’t washed his hands after changing Candice’s diaper. So, he stood up and headed directly for the restroom.

Less than half a minute after Steve left, his phone, lying casually on the sofa, rang. Ruby called out, “Steve, it’s your phone.” Then she glanced sideways at his caller ID. Seeing Maya Mitchell’s name, her face immediately fell.

Steve came out of the restroom, leisurely drying his hands, “Who’s calling?”

As soon as he asked, he saw Ruby’s gloomy face. His heart jolted, he quickly went over, and seeing Maya Mitchell’s name on the caller ID, he immediately panicked, hurriedly explaining, “Ruby, I have nothing to do with her, I don’t know why she’s calling me?”

Ruby gave Steve a harsh look, shooting him a glance that said ‘we’ll settle this later’, then pressed the answer button, greeting softly, “Hello, Maya Mitchell, it’s me, what do you need from Steve?”

With that said, Ruby turned to Steve again, her face stern.

Maya Mitchell, hearing Ruby’s voice on the other end of the line, instantly fell silent.

Ruby waited patiently, gripping the phone. Seeing Maya Mitchell still not speaking, she raised her voice again, “Why aren’t you speaking? If you have something to say to him, just tell me, I’ll pass on the message.”

The only response was silence.

Ruby didn’t have the patience she had before. After only waiting ten seconds, she began speaking, “Maya Mitchell, I know you’re listening. I know you want Steve to answer the phone. He’s right here, but he’s not going to take the call. If what you want to say to him you don’t want to tell me, then I have something to tell you.”

“Steve is my child’s father, my future husband, I am his wife, I have the right to defend my marriage, my family. I don’t care how you try to seduce other women’s husbands, but I advise you, Maya Mitchell, you’d better start now, don’t go after Steve ever again. Anything that woman on the street chasing you could do, I, Ruby Gregory, can do as well…”

Before Ruby had finished speaking, the call was abruptly ended by Maya Mitchell, leaving only a busy signal coming from the phone.

Sitting close by, absorbing all of Ruby’s words, Steve’s initially tense demeanor changed to one of excitement.

Ruby was warning other women not to approach him…

Is this what they call defending your territory?

Ruby turned around to see Steve, his face full of joy. Unable to help herself, she angrily threw the phone at him. However, the very next second, Steve deftly caught her hand, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her.

Steve’s kiss was so passionate, as if he wanted to swallow Ruby whole. Unable to help herself, Ruby’s lips parted slightly, and Steve immediately slid his hot tongue into her mouth.

He kissed her without any style or technique, just letting his tongue sweep over and enjoy her lips, as if devouring the most delicious food in the world.

Ruby, kissed by him, felt a mess. Her body felt like it had gone soft, just nestling in his arms.
