To the Love of My Life

Chapter 118 - 118: 118: Loving Her is the Perfect Pantomime (2)

Therefore, she deliberately made her words so obscure and subtle, with the intention of giving her mother an impression that Steve accidentally tore her clothes while they were being intimate, and that was why she changed into new ones.

As Ruby Gregory expected, Lady Gregory instantly understood the hint in her words, and her expression instantly relaxed, leaving only a remark, “You should rest early.”

Only she knew deep down just how deep Steve’s disgust and disdain for her truly was.

Last night, Ruby had been restless in bed, tossing and turning for a long time, already sleep-deprived, so as soon as she took a bath tonight and crawled into bed, she fell into a deep sleep.
