13 Chapter 13: The Habit of Not Waiting for Others (3)
Translator: 549690339
All the messages were about Steve Burton – his preferences, his taboos, his dislikes… Even though Ruby Gregory clearly remembered each and every one, she nevertheless went through them one by one. By the time she finished, it was already 3 p.m.

Ruby had been away from Steve for three years straight. She had no idea how much his habits had changed over these years, or whether his taboos had increased. To avoid making any mistakes the first time they faced each other, Ruby felt it necessary to prepare herself by getting some information on Steve’s situation over the past three years.

Though Steve seemed to have dealings with many people, Ruby knew that those who knew him best were his childhood buddies whose family interests were intertwined: Rusell Henris, Edward Woods, and Howard Coleman. These three had been hitting it off with Steve since childhood. Ruby figured if she were to ask them, she might not get much of anything and they might go straight and tell Steve about it.

So finally, Ruby thought of Madeleine.

Madeleine was the only girl among the brothers, and she was a year older than Ruby.

Except for Steve who was the heir to Pristine’s Enterprises, the rest of the siblings were the heirs to the four major shareholders of Pristine’s Enterprises.

Since Ruby and Steve were neighbors, they had known each other since childhood. Ruby had played with them and integrated into their circle. Perhaps because she and Madeleine were both girls, their relationship was much closer than others’.contemporary romance

So, Ruby had chosen Madeleine.

When Ruby called Madeleine, she had just landed from her flight. The call was a bit chaotic. Ruby repeated her words several times, “Madeleine, I need a favor from you,” before Madeleine heard her clearly and hurriedly said, “Ruby, no need to stand on ceremony. Just tell me what you need.”

Ruby paused and then asked, “Madeleine, what has Steve been most intolerant of over the past three years?”

Madeleine on the other end of the phone fell silent upon hearing this.

Her silence made Ruby feel a bit uneasy. She swallowed and asked again, “Madeleine, don’t you feel comfortable answering that?”

Madeleine remained silent. Just as Ruby thought she wouldn’t answer, Madeleine suddenly spoke out, but she didn’t answer Ruby’s question. Instead, she said, “Ruby, do you know that to my brother, you’re something he doesn’t want anymore? He doesn’t want you, why do you still care about his feelings?”

Ruby’s fingers trembled at Madeleine’s words, almost dropping the phone.

So, in others’ eyes, she was something that Steve didn’t want…

Ruby pressed her lips together, a glint of hurt flashing in her eyes. She lowered her gaze slightly and said, “Madeleine, I don’t mean anything else. I’ve returned to Ciawell, I’m bound to run into him at some point. I just don’t want to accidentally tread on his taboos.”
