To the Love of My Life

Chapter 696: Chapter 696: Chaotic Baby-Making (16)
 

Steve Burton had no choice but to walk back to the bedside, pick up his cell phone, and sure enough, as he sensed, it was a call from “Ruby.”

Steve’s hand gripping the phone couldn’t help but apply more force. He stared at the flickering screen, his lips tightly pressed together. Several times he raised his finger to answer the call, but in the end, at the very moment his fingertip touched the screen, he suddenly retracted it, until the phone’s ringing stopped, and he still didn’t press the answer button.

On the other end of the phone, Ruby Gregory, after calling twice in a row without being answered by Steve, her anger in her heart instantly expanded to its peak, and she couldn’t help but throw her phone violently to the ground!

What did Steve mean? Was he so infatuated with the woman he was meeting tonight that he wouldn’t answer her calls?

What about all the sweet words he had said to her? Was he playing with her like a clown?

Thinking about it, Ruby’s chest began to undulate uncontrollably. She knew that pregnant women should avoid extreme emotional fluctuations, but she really couldn’t control her emotions. She angrily walked forward, picked up her phone, held her big belly, and directly slammed the door and went downstairs.

Ruby gritted her teeth, rushed out of the neighborhood, hailed a taxi on the side of the road and simply reported Steve’s apartment address.

He wasn’t answering her calls because he was on a date? Fine, she would wait for him at his doorstep. She didn’t believe he would date someone for the rest of his life and never come back!

She wanted to confront him face to face and ask him what he meant and why he treated her like that!

It was past nine o’clock on the streets of Ciawell, traffic was smooth, and the taxi driver was driving as fast as he could. But Ruby still felt it was too slow. When they finally arrived at the entrance of Steve’s apartment complex, Ruby didn’t even ask the taxi driver about the cost, she directly took out a banknote, handed it to the driver, didn’t bother with the change, got off the car quickly and walked toward Steve’s building.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Ruby rushed to Steve’s door. Regardless of whether Steve was at home or not, she even forgot that she knew the code to his apartment and directly raised her hand to pound on the door as hard as she could.

It was only when Ruby’s hand was throbbing with pain that she realized, afterthought, that she had pressed the doorbell several times continuously, and then angrily kicked Steve’s door several more times.

–

Steve’s already heavy mood had become even heavier after Ruby’s continuous two calls.

He knew that hiding from Ruby like this was a cowardly act, but compared to hearing Ruby tell him to break off directly, he would rather be cowardly like this.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He knew that behaving like this was just self-deception.

Steve didn’t know how long he had been standing at the bedside holding his phone, his body stiffened until he heard a banging sound coming from downstairs, like something being smashed, and then he came back to his senses.

Steve frowned for a moment, listening carefully before realizing someone was pounding on his door. Not many people knew where he lived, who could it be?

Steve walked out of his bedroom with his cell phone in his hand, and had just walked halfway down the stairs when he heard the doorbell ringing in overlapping sounds.

Steve hurried over, and before he even reached the foyer area, he felt his door being heavily kicked several times.
