“Ms. Gregory.”

Ruby Gregory did not expect that anyone else in Steve Burton’s house would recognize her. Surprised, she turned her head and saw Mrs. Taylor, hesitated for a moment, and then smiled, “Mrs. Taylor.”

Mrs. Taylor walked up to Ruby, having just seen her from afar. Now taking a closer look, her eyes were filled with a hint of ecstasy, “I haven’t seen you, Ms. Gregory, for so many years. You’ve become even more beautiful than before.” Ruby shyly smiled, “You’re not working at the Mansion anymore?”

“Mr. Steve lives here alone, and the folks at the Mansion worry about him, so they often send me over to take care of some things.” Having worked as a maid in the Burton family for so many years, Mrs. Taylor subtly informed Ruby, “Ms. Gregory, you had a high fever last night, are you feeling better now?”

Last night, Ruby only remembered herself falling unconscious, and had no recollection of what happened after. Now that Lady Gregory brought it up, she frowned slightly and asked in confusion, “Did I have a fever last night?”

“Ms. Gregory, your fever reached 1040F. It took the whole day for it to subside. When I arrived, Mr. Steve told me not to clean upstairs, afraid it would disturb your sleep.” After saying the important part, Mrs. Taylor asked, “Ms. Gregory, how do you feel now?”

So the clothes by her bed and the toiletries in the bathroom were all prepared by Steve?

Ruby’s heart raced slightly, “I’m all right now.”

The scent of food wafted in from the kitchen, and Mrs. Taylor said, “Ms. Gregory, why not stay and have lunch? It’s been years since you’ve tasted my cooking.”

Ruby involuntarily looked toward Steve outside the French windows. Initially, he was standing with his back to the living room, but at some point, he turned his body so he could see into the living room. As their eyes met through the glass and distance, Ruby felt a chill emanating from him. She shivered subconsciously and shook her head with a smile at Mrs. Taylor, “I haven’t been home all night; I’m worried my family might be concerned. Next time, I’ll taste your cooking.”

Mrs. Taylor had stopped Ruby in order to persuade her to stay. Hearing Ruby’s refusal, she persistently coaxed her, “Ms. Gregory, you’re just giving me excuses. Who knows when next time will be? Besides, Mr. Steve doesn’t want you to leave either.”

How, after being so cold and indifferent to her, could Steve not want her to leave?

Ruby frowned slightly, her eyes filling with doubt.

Seeing the doubt in Ruby’s eyes, Mrs. Taylor swore earnestly, “Ms. Gregory, please believe me, I guarantee that deep down, Mr. Steve doesn’t want you to leave.”

Ruby was swayed by Mrs. Taylor’s certainty. She had always thought she understood Steve, but every time she ended up making things worse. Mrs. Taylor had been taking care of Steve for years; could she be right?

Last night, Steve had told her to think carefully about what he wanted and what she should give.

She was utterly clueless; could Mrs. Taylor help her?

Ruby struggled within her heart before finally deciding to give it a try. Biting her lip, she asked, “Mrs. Taylor, how did you know that he didn’t want me to leave?” 𝗳re𝗲𝚠e𝐛n𝗼v𝗲l.c𝐨𝐦
