To the Love of My Life

Chapter 511: Chapter 511: So You Knew It All Along (21)
While they were walking, they didn’t feel the cold that much. It wasn’t until they sat down that Ruby Gregory realized how the cold had quickly enveloped her entire body. Just as she was about to look for a mall to buy a coat, someone suddenly walked up to her and draped a jacket over her.

It was a men’s black, thick suit jacket, and its warmth quickly enveloped Ruby’s body. She was slightly stunned, and looked to the side to see Edric Reat standing beside her.

In the cold weather, a cold breeze blew, causing Edric’s thin shirt to puff out.

Ruby froze, sitting on the wooden chair, not moving for a long time.

Edric stared at Ruby for a long time before slowly smiling at her, “I saw you running out of the hospital like a lost soul. I followed you for so long, and finally, you sat down to rest.”

Ruby didn’t say a word, moving her gaze from Edric’s face before slowly standing up, reaching out to pull off the jacket from Edric’s body.

Edric, however, reached out and held her shoulder, stopping her action, “It’s cold, be careful not to catch a cold.”

Ruby’s dark eyes, as still as a pool of water, stared at Edric. But before she could say anything, Edric looked around and pointed to a nearby café, saying, “Do you want to have something to drink?”

Ruby moved her lips, but still didn’t say anything. Edric hooked his lips in a smile again, maybe because of the cold, he stomped his legs back and forth on the spot, and continued, “Since we returned home, I haven’t had a chance to talk with you properly. Luckily we met today, Ruby, let’s have a good talk.”

Ruby stood still, and Edric showed no impatience. He smiled lightly once more and said, “Ruby, you don’t want to talk to me here, do you?”

Ruby looked around, then lowered her gaze, turned around, and walked towards the café Edric had pointed to. Edric followed her.

As soon as they opened the door to the café, a warm atmosphere greeted them. The friendly waiter approached, led Ruby and Edric to a secluded seat, and handed them the menu.

Edric took it, glanced at it briefly, and then ordered a cup of “Jamaica Blue Mountain”.

He then looked up at Ruby, “How about you? Orange juice or milk tea?”

“No need to bother, just a cup of warm water.” Although Ruby knew that the child inside her might not be wanted by Steve Burton, since confirming her pregnancy, she was always mindful of precautions.

“Alright, please wait a moment,” the waiter said softly with a smile before leaving.

There weren’t many people in the café, and the seats that Ruby and Edric chose were quite secluded. They were surrounded by empty seats. After the waiter left, the two didn’t have much conversation, just the soft instrumental music played inside the café, surrounding their ears.

Edric picked up the creamer on the table, tore it open, and poured it into his coffee cup. He stirred it a couple of times with a stirrer, then took a sip. He looked up at Ruby, who had been sitting quietly opposite him. After a while, he finally spoke, “Did something happen that upset you?”

Ruby’s eyelids twitched slightly, and she held the cup of warm water, still with no intention of speaking.
