Chapter 141 - 141: 141: Pregnancy’s Little Thoughts (15)

Upon hearing the man’s words, Ruby felt her heart drop heavily. What did he mean by saying that?

Could it be that he already knew her purpose?

But this little plan was her own secret…

Was this just his guess?

Ruby forced herself to suppress the uneasiness in her heart, looked at Steve Burton, who had slightly restrained his expression, and pretended to be innocent and wronged. Lowering her eyes, she slowly said: “I didn’t go home last night, and I’ve gotten several calls from the Gregorys today. I’m afraid they’re worried.”

Steve Burton suddenly let out a soft, mocking laugh, his face growing colder.

It was just a single syllable of laughter.

It was sharp, crisp, and short, accompanied by his unique sarcasm and irony.

However, underneath the sarcasm and irony, there was also a hidden emotion Ruby couldn’t quite articulate, making her heart shudder violently.

Next second, Steve reached out and grabbed Ruby’s wrist, pulling her into his embrace.

Both of them were unclothed, their skin tightly pressed against each other. Ruby could clearly feel his pulse, throbbing one beat at a time. This sent shivers down her spine, and she instinctively tightened up, her head drooping slightly, not daring to look at Steve.

Steve stared at the top of Ruby’s fluffy head for a while, then lifted his hand, pinched her chin, and raised her head, forcing her to look into his eyes.

His eyes were pitch-black and deep, devoid of any emotion, making it impossible to discern any expression from his indifferent demeanor.

Despite this, he still managed to easily deliver a stunning impact.

In normal days, Steve would appear mostly cold and aloof like this, but tonight, a woman’s intuition told Ruby that behind this expression lay a storm of hidden emotions.

Even though he said nothing, merely gazing into her eyes like this, Ruby still felt a heavy and oppressive sensation sweeping over her entire body.

It was an invisible pressure, intense and powerful, yet it left one unable to dodge or resist.

Ruby felt as if her heart had stopped beating, and her facial expression gradually froze.

Staring at Ruby’s increasingly stiff face, Steve Burton raised the corner of his

lips and smiled faintly. His fingertips gently caressed her chin, moving with

extreme gentleness, as if touching some precious jewel..
