Chapter 592: Chapter 592: Wait a little longer before giving up (32)

Ruby Gregory finished her long explanation in one breath.

Once again, the room fell into a long silence.

The servant who had opened the door for Rusell Henris and Steve Burton saw that the two men were still standing at the entrance without entering. Unable to help herself, she put down the potted plants she was tending to and walked up to them, asking politely, “Mr. Burton, Mr. Henris, why aren’t you going in?”

Steve Burton did not respond, but Rusell Henris came to his senses first. He let out an “uh” but did not know what else to say.

The servant had no idea what had happened. Without waiting for Rusell Henris to speak again, she smiled at the people in the room and called out, “Sir, Madam, Miss, Mr. Burton and Mr. Henris are here…”

The atmosphere suddenly became strange. After about half a minute, footsteps could be heard coming from inside the room. Lady Gregory walked over and put on a stiff smile when she saw Rusell Henris and Steve Burton. “Steve, Rusell is here. Please come in.”

Rusell Henris still did not dare to look at Steve Burton’s expression. He hurriedly greeted Lady Gregory, “Hello, Aunt Gregory.”

As soon as his voice fell, Steve Burton’s polite and respectful voice rang out, “Hello, Aunt.”

Following his words, he lifted the box of red wine in his hand and headed into the room.

Rusell Henris finally took a glance at Steve Burton. The man seemed calm, but it was this calmness that frightened Rusell to no end.

Rusell Henris held his breath and followed Steve Burton.

Steve Burton and Rusell Henris placed the box of red wine on the floor. Maxwell Gregory and Ruby Gregory had already stood up from the sofa. Ruby did not say anything, but Maxwell Gregory pointed to a vacant spot on the sofa and said, “Come, sit.”

Just as Rusell Henris was considering whether to decline directly, Steve Burton strode forward and sat down. Rusell had no choice but to follow him and sit down beside Steve. Then he looked at Ruby, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, and greeted her with a smile, “Ruby.”

When Ruby heard the words “Mr. Burton” from the servant’s mouth, she was shocked. Seeing Steve sitting in front of her, her heart filled with panic. Hearing Rusell’s call, she glanced at Steve before looking at Rusell. She smiled and called out, “Rusell.”

The marriage between Ruby and Steve had been arranged and then canceled. The atmosphere in the room was naturally awkward. Adding to the fact that they had just heard Ruby’s earlier words, the atmosphere became almost solid. To ease the tension, after greeting Ruby, Rusell immediately said, “Uncle Gregory, my father thanks you for the fishing rod you sent him. Knowing you like to drink red wine, he specially asked me to bring you some.”

Thinking of Steve Burton, who had come with him, Rusell added, “Steve happened to be at my house, and the red wine is a bit heavy, so he helped me carry it over here.”

Maxwell Gregory followed Rusell’s words with a smile, “That was really thoughtful of Mr. Henris, but thank you both for making the trip.” freewebnσvel.cøm

Rusell understood and replied, “Not at all. I should have visited you earlier, Uncle Gregory.”

Lady Gregory personally brewed a pot of tea and brought it over. Hearing these words, she laughed along and said, “I was just thinking of getting your uncle to quit drinking, but now with such good wine delivered to the door, I can’t control him anymore.”
