To the Love of My Life

Chapter 640: Chapter 640: Ruby Gregory’s Confession (20)
 

“I heard that you and Maya Mitchell are getting pretty close…”

Before Ruby Gregory could finish her sentence, Steve Burton, who was sitting opposite her, suddenly spat out the soup that he was drinking.

Luckily, Steve reacted quickly and turned his head to spit the soup on the ground.

Ruby looked at Steve spitting out the soup and deliberately made a disgusted expression, waving her hand and saying, “Steve, that’s disgusting!”

Steve looked up at Ruby, wanting to say something, but unfortunately, he had just spat so hard that the soup got into his nose. So the next second, he covered his mouth with his hand and started coughing violently.

Ruby cursed him for being disgusting, but instead of moving away, she leaned her small face even closer, watching Steve, who was red-faced from coughing. In her tone, there was a hint of sourness that even she herself didn’t notice: “Steve, do you really need to be this excited when Maya Mitchell is mentioned?”

It took Steve quite a while to finally ease his coughing. Just as he was about to pick up the glass to rinse his mouth, he suddenly heard the words that Ruby threw at him. Like being stimulated, his fingers shook fiercely, and the water in the glass splashed out, drenching his face.

Steve quickly put down the glass, lowered his head, and the water dripped along his perfect facial contour, hitting the floor.

Steve hurriedly took a tissue from the side and wiped his face while coughing twice. After catching his breath, he looked up at Ruby: “Ruby, what did you say? There are rumors that Maya Mitchell and I are getting close?”

Although she inferred this from Maya Mitchell’s words, there were still other rumors, so Ruby nodded seriously at Steve: “Yes.”

Steve laughed as if he had heard a hilarious joke. After hearing Ruby’s response, he hooked his lips and lightly laughed: “Ruby, are you sure you’re not telling me an after-dinner joke?”

Ruby pouted: “Steve, do you think I look like someone who has time for after-dinner jokes?”

Steve continued to laugh lightly, his tone lazy: “Even if you don’t have time for after-dinner jokes, but simply want to chat with me about gossip, can you at least give me a better romantic interest?”

“What’s wrong with Maya Mitchell? She’s beautiful, ambitious, gentle, generous, capable…” Although Ruby didn’t want to praise Maya Mitchell, she still counted Maya’s advantages on her fingers. Then she realized that she had actually named quite a few of Maya’s strengths, so she pouted and compared her own shortcomings with Maya’s: “Unlike me, who is always unreasonable, making a fuss, willful, and doing nothing with my life…”

With such thoughts, Ruby felt that she was really quite miserable. She heaved a faint sigh, raised her hand to support her chin, blinked twice at Steve, and said: “So, when you compare everything, Maya Mitchell is pretty good, except for her average background. Besides, Steve, your background is already good enough, there’s no need to be so picky.”

After hearing the comparison between himself and Maya Mitchell from Ruby’s mouth, Steve’s tone was also tinged with a layer of amusement:
