To the Love of My Life

Chapter 774: Chapter 774: The Most Romantic Proposal (4)
 

“What would the Gregorys, what would Ruby think if they found out about this?”

“If it were Wenny, put yourself in her shoes, your daughter had a child for someone else, and the child was taken away for DNA paternity testing, could you swallow this?”

“I came to see you today because I can’t swallow this, not just the Gregorys, even I, Steve, can’t swallow it!”

Steve’s face darkened as he spoke with biting resentment, “It’s highly likely that it was Mico’s wife who did this, because Olivia really resents Ruby. She usually speaks with veiled sarcasm, and I let it go, but not this time. I won’t let it go!”

Mico was Steve’s fourth cousin, and Mico’s wife was Olivia’s older cousin.

“Today, I’ll lay it out plainly; there are only two choices. Either Mico’s wife leaves the Burtons’ Mansion, or I move to the city with Ruby and the Triplets. I can compromise on anything else, but not this! The reason I came to you is for you to consider the relationships within the Burtons. If you don’t deal with it, I will, and I won’t be so considerate!”

Steve finished speaking, grabbed the DNA paternity testing report from the table, turned around and headed for the study door. After two steps, he stopped as if remembering something, and threw the report back on the desk, “You keep this DNA paternity testing, Ruby doesn’t know about it yet, and I don’t want her to. So, I hope you’ll deal with this discreetly and not let Ruby hear anything about it. We don’t want her to know that someone from our family did such a disgusting, despicable thing!”

Perhaps it was anger that made Steve’s chest heave slightly. After he finished speaking, he clenched his teeth and added, “What I’m doing isn’t about preserving the relationship between the Gregorys and the Burtons. I’m telling you plainly that if the Gregorys find out about this, I’ll stand by their side!”

“What a mess! I wouldn’t even question my own woman, let alone some irrelevant people!”

With that, Steve angrily turned and left.

Ruby heard Steve’s footsteps in the study and hurried back to his bedroom.@@novelbin@@

She quickly climbed into bed, covered herself with the blanket, closed her eyes, and pretended to be asleep.

But her heart was pounding violently.

Steve’s voice had been raised in anger in the study, so she had clearly heard every word he said.

So, the DNA paternity testing wasn’t something Steve had secretly done behind her back…

And the reason he went to his father this morning was actually to stand up for her!

It wasn’t that Steve didn’t trust her, it was that she didn’t trust him.

She had misunderstood Steve.

She was wrong.

Just as Ruby’s emotions were in turmoil, she heard the bedroom door being gently pushed open and Steve’s familiar footsteps entering.

With her eyes closed, she felt Steve lift the blanket and lie down beside her. As his hand reached out to hold her, his movements were gentle, but she still slowly opened her eyes.
