Chapter 746: Chapter 746: A Mysterious Express Delivery (6)
 

Ruby Gregory couldn’t help but get more curious about the parcel in Steve Burton’s hands.

She could tell that Steve didn’t want her to know what was in the package, so even though she was curious, she followed Steve’s wishes. She nodded and walked into the house with him, ascending the stairs to check on the Triplets.

In the nursery, Chise and Candice were still asleep, only Tang was recently awake.

After the nurse prepared the formula, Ruby walked up and naturally picked Tang up, taking the bottle and feeding him personally.

Steve stood by and watched for a bit before finding an excuse to go to the restroom, leaving the room.

Ruby, who was holding Tang, watched Steve’s retreating figure, her gut feeling was that something was off. Eventually, she couldn’t suppress her curiosity, she handed Tang to the nurse and quietly followed Steve.

She saw Steve enter his bedroom. Stealthily following him, she discovered his door was locked from the inside. She couldn’t help speculating wildly by his door until she heard footsteps inside the room; it prompted her to hurry back to the nursery.

Mr. Leighton’s wife’s kick to Maya Mitchell’s belly was ruthless; her belly was tingling with pain for three or four days before it finally subsided.

The pain constantly reminded her of that day’s humiliation and embarrassment, then an image of Steve flashed into her mind, right after she was caught by Mr. Leighton’s wife.

She knew deep down that everything she was doing had no relevance to Steve. Although she had been using her body to clinch business deals, she kept it very covert, such that nobody aside from herself and the other party knew about it, especially not Steve.

She was unsure how long Steve had been watching, but after hesitating for a long time, she called him. She used the signing of the contract with Mr. Leighton as an excuse.

She wanted to use the excuse of reporting work progress to explain to Steve that it was all a misunderstanding that day.

Unexpectedly, the voice that answered the call wasn’t the mesmerizing voice that had always kept her infatuated. Instead, to her chagrin, it was Ruby’s voice that came through the phone.

She’d heard rumors about Steve and Ruby from some people in the business world. She knew that the reason why Steve had been less present at social gatherings recently was because of their triplets. The mother of the children was the Gregorys’ daughter whose engagement with Steve had been previously called off. Those were just some gossips people would casually chat about after a feast. Some said Steve was fortunate, others joked that the Gregorys’ daughter had hit the jackpot, and those who had been classmates with Ruby and Steve mentioned their past relationships, predicting a reconciliation…

In a nutshell, it didn’t matter if it was out of genuine feelings or hypocrisy, the words that flowed out from people’s mouths about Steve and Ruby were all pleasing.

She maintained her silence, always wearing a polite smile, but deep inside, she was seething with rage. She’d thought that the child in Ruby’s belly would be their nemesis, she tried so hard to separate them, but in the end, they still ended up together!
