To the Love of My Life

Chapter 526: Chapter 526: So You Knew It All Along (36)
Steve Burton opened the door of his study, pausing slightly. He wanted to glance back at the woman behind him, yet he just stood there silently for a minute before stepping out.

–

Downstairs, Edward Woods and Russel Henris were paying close attention to the movements upstairs.

For quite a while, the study remained silent.

Edward Woods finally eased his heart and took a big sip of his coffee, “Looks like, Ruby appeased our brother.”

Russel Henris also took a sip of his coffee: “Our brother can’t bear to upset Ruby. As long as Ruby says a word, I guarantee our brother will be fine.”

Edward Woods laughed and then filled Russel Henris’ cup with coffee. As he prepared to pour his own, a sudden loud noise came from upstairs.

Edward Woods’ hand trembled as he glanced over at Russel Henris, both of them instinctively remaining silent. After a while, they heard the sound of fierce smashing, getting louder and louder, interspersed with the angry roars of Steve Burton. Because of the distance, it was unclear what was being said.

Edward Woods couldn’t keep calm and said, “This seems like… things have gotten worse!”

Russel Henris shook his head, looking a bit sick.

Then another sound of smashing came, and this time it lasted longer.

“I’ve seen our brother lose his temper, but I’ve never seen him this angry,” Edward Woods said anxiously, “Will our brother hit Ruby?”

Russel Henris was also uncertain and after a moment, he said, “I don’t think he would go that far.”

Steve Burton’s angry voices continued inside the room, then after a while, it went quiet, for a very long period of silence.

This silence put a knot of unease in the hearts of Edward Woods and Russel Henris.

Edward Woods said, “Why is there no noise? It’s not like someone’s been killed, right?”

Russel Henris speculated, “Did our brother accidentally kill Ruby? And now he’s grieving so much he’s decided to kill himself too?”

Edward and Russel glanced at each other, their hearts thumping. Both stood up ready to run to the staircase, just as they saw the door to the study open and Steve Burton, looking suave and unflustered, emerged.

His expression was very calm, not at all like someone who had just had an intense argument or smashed things.

Russel Henris and Edward Woods were even more confused. After exchanging glances, they saw Steve Burton go into his bedroom. In a moment, he had changed into a fresh suit and was descending the staircase gracefully.

Not until Steve entered, did Edward, gathering his courage, call out, “Bro.”

Steve looked at him and grunted, then said, “Why haven’t you left yet?”

Russel Henris and Edward Woods knew Steve was trying to drive them away. They stood still, then after a while, Russel asked, “Bro, are you going out?”

“Yeap.” Steve Burton answered nonchalantly.

“But you and Ruby…”

Steve pointed to the door, interrupting Russel with a dispassionate: “Pack up and get out!”

Russel and Edward froze, exchanging glances. They silently picked up their clothes and quickly left.

Steve stood in the living room for a few seconds, looked up toward the study, and then walked out of the apartment.
