To the Love of My Life

Chapter 803: Chapter 803: Overbearing CEO Falls for the Delicate Wife (3)_1

Couples who have had a cesarean should wait at least two months before having sexual intercourse. @@novelbin@@

It was Ruby Gregory’s birthday, and they were two days shy of the two-month mark.

Though Steve Burton was feeling pent up, he ultimately couldn’t bear to cross the line; he just kissed Ruby’s lips and held her hand, letting her help him find release.

Such lovemaking, though not utterly satisfying, was enough to relieve Steve’s discomfort. At the end, he held Ruby and kissed her repeatedly, filling the room with his scent.

Steve went to the bathroom to take a shower, then tiptoed out with a damp towel to wipe Ruby’s hands, only to find her sleeping soundly, wrapped in the blanket.

He carefully picked up her hand and wiped it clean, then leaned down to kiss her forehead.

...

In a daze, Ruby opened her eyes and saw Steve’s eyes looking at her, seemingly half-asleep. She pouted her lips, snuggled closer into Steve’s arms, and whispered, “Steve, let’s pick a sunny, beautiful day to get our marriage certificate, okay?”

Steve was overwhelmed with emotion, his eyes shining with a warm, spring-like lustre. His voice was a bit hoarse as he said, “Okay,” then he bent down to affectionately kiss Ruby’s hair before getting up and heading back to the bathroom with the towel.

When Steve came out and was about to climb into bed, his cell phone on the bedside table suddenly started buzzing. Seeing that it was from Rusell Henris, he soothed Ruby, who frowned at the disturbance, and then answered the call. He walked quietly out of the bedroom and stood by the window in the hallway, speaking slowly into the phone, “What’s up? It’s the middle of the night.”

“Maya Mitchell had an accident on her own.”

Steve’s brows furrowed tightly, “Did she die?”

“No, but it’s almost as bad as being dead.”

“What do you mean?”

“Her brain was damaged in the collision. She might be like an idiot for the rest of her life. When she wakes up, she’ll probably not recognize anyone, won’t remember anything.”

Steve said nothing.

Rusell sighed heavily over the phone, and then said, “Actually, this might be a good end for her. It’s better than being fully aware and serving ten or eight years in jail.”

Only then did Steve slightly flicker in his eyes and said softly into the phone, “Don’t let Ruby know about this.”

After hanging up, Steve stood in front of the hallway window, looking out for a long time before turning back to the bedroom.

He lifted the blanket and lay down in bed. The sleeping woman automatically snuggled into his embrace, found a comfortable position, and continued to sleep sweetly.

Looking at her sleeping face, Steve’s mood, which had been upset by the news of Maya, improved slightly.

Some people are always like this, lacking cleverness yet insisting on scheming, lacking kindness but acting without limits.

Sometimes, it wasn’t that he wanted to be cruel; it was that she had been cruel first.

Perhaps, as Rusell said, this really was the best outcome for her: to forget all the bad things she had done, the “bad people” she had loved, to live simply as an idiot.

Yes, “bad people”; to her, wasn’t he also a bad person?

The day after Steve’s proposal, The Burtons and The Gregorys began to prepare for Steve and Ruby’s wedding.

[This is farewell to Maya Mitchell. She might have done many bad things, but for her, the greatest blow was the hurt from the person she deeply loved. More updates to follow~]
