SIGNING IN: BEING SHOWERED BY HEAVENLY BLESSINGS FOR FIVE YEARS-Chapter 823 - 821: TATTLING

Her eyes crinkled as she giggly swiped her phone while lying on the bed.

"Sis, sis, sis. Aren’t you full of surprises?" Ruby’s grin was wide, thinking about her sister and also spotting the number that she wanted.

"I can’t sleep without tattling. Let this dear younger sister tell the parents of such good news!" a grin was on her face as she imagined how her parents would react upon learning such news.

Without any further delay, she hurriedly dialed her mother’s phone and after several rings, Ma Perry’s voice sounded, [Dear!]

A smile blossomed on her face upon hearing her mother’s beautiful voice.

"Mom. How was your day today? Busy?" she asked coyly, a hint of playfulness in her tone.

[Hehe, the day was great though a bit busy. The renovations are nearly done. Starting next month should be opening.]

Ruby’s eyes brightened when she heard that.

"Really? That’s good news, Mom! I guess that when we come to that side, we can hang around the restaurant for a bit!"

[You will. Anyway, was there anything urgent? Your mother is dead tired and wants to rest. We must wake up early!] Ma Perry’s voice had a tinge of fatigue in it. Ruby couldn’t help but notice that.

"Um ..." she cleared her throat as she started organizing her words considering what she was about to do.

[Dear, you ..... what is it?] Ma Perry’s voice sounded worried as she asked and Ruby felt a bit guilty as she scratched her nose.

"Mom ... hehe, there is no problem. Just that .... Um .... I wanted to share some news with you. I just couldn’t help myself."

[Phew~ you nearly startled me there. Tell your mother. What is it?] Ma Perry asked curiously and there was a tinge of urgency in her voice.

Ruby chuckled helplessly when she heard that but still answered, "Mom, it’s about sis!"

[Diamond! What did she do?] Ma Perry exclaimed, and Ruby could hear her father’s voice the moment her mother did that.

Ruby shook her head, wondering if her parents were imagining that Diamond was up to something sneaky again.

"Hehe, she just found you the first son-in-law," she chuckled slyly as she revealed the matter to the parents and exaggeratedly shared what happened and how those two were interacting.

[Is that real? Haha, finally. I was dying to know when your sister would finally have someone. So, he is handsome?]

"Very handsome and generous. I saw the way he was looking at her. He is infatuated. I don’t think that this time we will have a scammer like those two. Humph!"

[We hope so. Anyway, with a mother like Auntie Grace, I don’t think that he will turn out bad, right?]

Ruby sighed as she rolled on the bed until she was facing the ceiling and responded, "If they scam her, I am afraid that sis might eradicate the whole family this time around."

[Hehe, they will be deserving of it. Who dares mistreat our jewel?]

Ruby’s lips curled when she heard that, not finding that remark infuriating at all.

"Okay, don’t be angry. You rest and take care."

[Okay, dear. Don’t forget to rest yourself. Don’t overdo it. Just write your exams peacefully without any pressure. Okay?]

Ruby felt warm as she saw that her parents remembered that she was writing.

"Don’t worry, Mom and Dad. I will do my best without pressurizing myself."

[That’s good. Anyway, don’t tell your sister that we know. We will wait to see when she will tell us!]

Ruby’s eyes narrowed when she heard that, and she had a sly smile on her face as she wondered when her sister would do as well.

After exchanging a few more words with her parents. She finally hangs up, a smile on her face.

"I wonder when I can also date!" she sighed helplessly, thinking about her own heart before shuddering with fear as she recalled how heartbroken she was because of Waylon a while ago.

She patted her cheeks as she rolled back to her belly and mumbled, "Let us not focus on love right now. Money is the best lover to be with!" thinking about the stability that money brings in life.

After a moment of playing on the bed, Ruby decided that it was time to prepare for bed, but before she could sleep, a message was received.

Curious about who the sender was, she reached out for her phone and checked the message straight away.

The moment she saw the sender, a helpless smile blossomed on her face as she muttered to herself, "How can he be so persistent!" completely unaware of how her tone sounded doting at that very moment.

[Sean: Hey beautiful! Are you sleeping yet?]

[I am about to. What’s up?]

She had been chatting with Sean on friendly levels without breaking that thin wall. They could be considered friends of some sort and she found him quite nice to chat with.

[Sean: Good. I just wanted to wish you all the best on your first exams tomorrow. Are you up for it?]

[Don’t worry. I might fail at other things, but when it comes to academics, I am quite a genius!] there was bragging in her words. Even Sean could see them.

[Sean: Boasting, aren’t we? But I love that confidence. All the best nonetheless!]

Ruby grinned when she read that and responded, [Thank you, I will do my best.]

[Sean: Why do I have a feeling that you are happy? Did anything good happen?] Suddenly Sean changed the topic, which made her lips twitch, cursing Sean at how good he was at reading her.

Nonetheless, still filled with the spirit of happiness, she happily typed, [You are truly a seer. Um, I will tell you but don’t tell anyone.]

[Sean: You know I am trustworthy, right? Just share it. I am all ears.]

Ruby rolled her eyes when she heard that, but still smiled, thinking that the man might not be a tattletale.

[It’s about my sis!]

[Sean: What happened to her? Is there good news?]

[Hehe, she is finally not single. How can I not be happy?] Ruby was beaming with immense joy as if she was the one dating.

There was a bit of a delay in response from Sean for a while before his message arrived.

[Sean: You are serious?]

[Yep. Dead serious. With how I know her, she might even reveal the matter soon. Do you know her? She is quite different.]

[Sean: that’s indeed Diamond. I bet she is very happy!]

Ruby grinned when she read that and boastfully responded. The chat between the two lasted for ten minutes or so before Sean bid her goodnight and encouraged her to go to bed early since she was writing.

Ruby felt warm after the chat and didn’t play anymore. She simply went to bed with a smile, not knowing how much her simple words had caused unexpected chaos to others.

****

[Lon, I don’t know how you are feeling right now, but it’s like I said earlier. She is dating whatever guy she meets. I don’t think that you have hope in this case.]

Those words were so piercing that Waylon felt as if someone was slicing his skin with a thousand cuts.

Although he expected nothing but that outcome when he heard her confirming her feelings for that other guy. He didn’t expect that she would move so fast and get together with the guy so fast like that.

His heart ached badly. It was as if it was being gnawed on by something, and the feeling wasn’t good at all.

He gnashed his teeth as his other hand clenched into a fist and responded to Sean, who had just shared the agonizing news with him. "I understand and don’t worry about me," his voice sounded a bit detached, and that made Sean feel panicked.

[You ... don’t do anything stupid. You have exams!]

Lon chuckled dejectedly when he heard that. His eyes were a bit red.

"Don’t worry, I won’t!" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

After exchanging several words with Sean, the call ended.

Once it ended, Waylon rose from the chair, revealing a tall young man, wearing a dark robe which outlined his slim body with fine muscles that would make Diamond drool upon seeing them.

"Hehe!" he chuckled helplessly as he walked away from the chair towards the window, several thoughts in his head.

"Why am I hurting?"

"Who is the other guy? Is he that good for her to be with him?"

"Can I have her in this life?"

The more he thought, the more stressed he became.

When he got dumped by Jackie, the pain wasn’t as much as what he was feeling right now.

He wasn’t a fool. He had come to accept that he was madly in love with Diamond and that wasn’t a feeling that could be changed easily.

He exhaled a deep breath as he looked to the sky, tears pooling in his eyes.

’Am I going to give up easily like that?’ he mockingly asked as he lowered his head, raising his hand to wipe the tears off his face.

Amidst his pessimistic thoughts, her voice started ringing in his head.

’I like a guy who is courageous. ... let me tell you a secret. I am polyandrous. I have a big heart and will have multiple partners in the future ...’

With those words ringing in his head, it suddenly dawned on him. All hope wasn’t lost.

His eyes suddenly brightened up as his mind finally worked without being too emotional.

His lips curled into a smirk as he closed the curtains while muttering, "Lon, I guess that it’s not time to give up yet!" recalling a certain event.

Suddenly, he felt much better and lighter. He no longer felt as devastated as he was when he first heard the news.

’I couldn’t be number one, but I can still be number two, right?’
