Chapter 826: Chapter 826: Overbearing CEO Falls for the Delicate Wife (26)_1

Ruby Gregory didn’t feel there was anything amiss at all. She nodded naturally at Steve Burton, then tilted her head and thought for a moment, speaking with a slightly reproachful expression, “In the novels, every time the overbearing CEO pins down his delicate wife, he reaches out and rips the clothes apart, and each time they split in half. But when I just pinned you down, I tried to rip them, but couldn’t. Instead, it just hurt my hand…”

As she spoke, Ruby showed her palms to Steve Burton, the delicate skin still bearing a red mark.

As Ruby spoke, Steve Burton’s brain rapidly replayed the entire process of her pinning him down. So… the reason Ruby was pulling at his clothes while on top of him was because she had seen the actions of the overbearing CEO in the novels… Once Steve Burton realized this, he immediately thought about how Ruby, pinching his chin and leaning down to kiss him with that “domineering” move, was just like the description in chapter twenty-seven of the novel he had skimmed through, where the male lead pinches the female lead’s chin and kisses her forcefully!

Ruby really did treat him as… her delicate wife!

With that thought, Steve Burton felt somewhat disheveled by the realization. If it hadn’t been for his ability to always disguise his emotions, he would have certainly jumped up and puffed up in a fit right then and there.

Steve Burton just felt as if a surge of frustration was stuck firmly in his throat, unable to be spat out or swallowed down, as though it could choke him at any moment. His hands involuntarily clenched into fists, his gaze at Ruby reddening with intensity.

...

Ruby Gregory lay on Steve Burton’s chest, still immersed in her own world, and continued to mutter nonstop, “I was reading comments, and one reader said that novels are deceiving. It seems to be true; the clothes clearly don’t tear apart…”

After finishing, Ruby looked up at Steve Burton and asked, “Right?”

Right my ass… Steve Burton inwardly ranted fiercely. His clenched fist tightened even further. Then, he forced himself to seem very cooperative, like a woman would, and nodded slightly towards Ruby Gregory.

Ruby pouted her lips, stayed quiet for a while, and then rubbed Steve Burton’s chest. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she exclaimed “Ah!” and sat up abruptly, staring at Steve Burton and saying, “I forgot to say something when I was pinning you down just now!”

Steve Burton hadn’t even had a chance to ask Ruby what it was when she suddenly lay on top of him, staring at him face to face, without blinking.

Her pupils were pitch-black and clear, shining with a hint of focus that made Steve Burton slightly spellbound. Gradually, he was immersed in them, and he couldn’t help but put the fact that Ruby was treating him as her delicate wife to the back of his mind.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat tender, Ruby’s lips slowly lowering.

Steve Burton thought Ruby was going to take the initiative to kiss him, and his eyelids began to droop involuntarily.

Just when Steve Burton was about to close his eyes, Ruby’s lips suddenly stopped.

Their lips were close enough that Steve Burton could clearly feel the sweet fragrance emanating from her lips. Just as he was about to enclose her lips with his mouth, Ruby slowly opened her mouth and said, “You little siren…”
