Chapter 109
Ruben replied quickly, “Okay!”
After putting down my phone, I hugged my pillow, cleared my mind, and started to sleep. Sleeping is the most important, and I can’t overdraw my body anymore.
The next day, I searched for nearby pet stores and chose one. I sent the address and time to Ruben. When I arrived at the pet store’s entrance, he was already waiting for me there. He was wearing a black thin jacket with a turtleneck sweater underneath, and carrying a pet backpack with Gigi inside, his orange cat.
“Sylvia!” Ruben’s eyes lit up when he saw me, and he smiled brightly, as if he had started to emerge from the shadow of heartbreak.
“Let’s go inside quickly, it’s so cold outside,” I said to
Ruben, holding a transparent pet cage in one hand and tightly wrapping my clothes with the other. In my mind, I sighed, “Being young is great, isn’t he cold wearing so little?”
After we both entered the pet store, I handed Pudding over to the staff to take care of, while I sat on the sofa with Ruben, playing with Gigi.
Gigi was very lively, but it was Gigi. It often wanted to jump up, but failed repeatedly. Then it circled to my right side, preparing to jump onto my shoulder. I was scared by it and

couldn’t help but hide, tightly leaning into Ruben’s arms. Ruben froze, and then his face turned red.
After I realized this, I didn’t act immediately, but smiled at him and waited until Gigi left before sitting up straight.
“It was a bit mischievous, didn’t it scare you?” Ruben dared not look into my eyes, his gaze constantly following Gigi, his voice sounding somewhat unnatural.
“No, it’s quite cute. I want to buy a hair clip for it!” I suddenly had an idea and got up to pick a pink hair clip. I handed it to Ruben, who caught Gigi and placed it on its
ear.
Gigi was quite obedient, wandering around with a hairpin on its head. It proudly showed off in front of Pudding and even extended its paw, attempting to provoke Pudding. Seeing this, Pudding, who was grooming itself, angrily shouted at Gigi.
“Gigi!” Ruben quickly shouted, rushing over to stop Gigi.
I took out my phone and captured this funny scene, then sent it to Tristan. “Look, don’t you think this Gigi is
especially hilarious? Pudding is about to be driven crazy by it, hahaha…”
Tristan didn’t reply to me, probably busy. I don’t mind either.
After spending one or two hours in the pet store, Ruben and I left together.
“Weren’t you going to treat me to a meal? How about going
now?” I approached the car, placed Pudding on the back seat, and then clapped my hands, saying to Ruben.
Ruben’s gaze remained fixed on my car. He almost failed to conceal the envy and longing in his eyes.
Upon hearing my words, he quickly nodded and said, “Okay.”
“Let’s get in the car,” I smiled at him.
I knew Ruben’s financial situation, so I chose an affordable buffet restaurant. Afterward, I called Marcel to come over and asked him to drive the car back, and to also take Pudding and Gigi to Maple Villa together. The two little ones must have been very uncomfortable being locked up.
The restaurant was quite crowded, and Ruben attentively brought me various ingredients that he thought were delicious. Watching his considerate appearance, I once again felt sorry for him.
Actually, Ruben was really handsome, optimistic, and hardworking. If it weren’t for Frederic, he and Emilia would have had a happy future.
“Hello, my friend said you looked handsome. Can I add you as a friend on Line?” an eighteen–year–old girl ran over, blushing, and asked Ruben.
Ruben instinctively glanced at me.
The girl immediately looked at me with embarrassment and said, “I’m sorry, is this your girlfriend? Sorry for
interrupting!”
After saying that, Ruben awkwardly ran away. He had a troubled expression on his face, hesitating whether to explain to me or not. I sighed, “What a pity.”
