“Ruby, it’s two squares to the left, not two squares down.” Madeleine said, caught between laughter and tears.

Ruby Gregory’s face turned red as if it could bleed, and she hastily picked up the white piece, quickly moving it two squares to the left.

“Ruby, what on earth is wrong with you? It was your previous position that needed to move two squares to the left, not your current position!” Madeleine was somewhat frustrated with Ruby.

Confused by Madeleine’s words and with Steve Burton by her side, Ruby’s mind was disoriented. She held the chess piece and continued to move it two squares to the left.

“I can’t take it anymore, I’m going to cry!” Madeleine finally cracked, putting down her glass of alcohol and letting out a wail.

Howard Coleman couldn’t help but chuckle.

Ruby held the white piece, suddenly feeling at a loss, her face red as if it could bleed.

Howard and Madeleine were amused by Ruby’s bewildered actions. However, Steve couldn’t find any joy. It was as if he had just drunk Chinese goldthread instead of alcohol, rolling in his stomach and filling it with bitterness.

He suddenly regretted coming to her side while under the influence.

Previously, even if he could only see her from a distance, unable to hear her voice or smell her scent, he could still see a genuine and beautiful Ruby. But now, she looked nervous, not knowing how to be herself.

As Steve watched Ruby about to randomly place the white piece again, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand.

Ruby’s body seemed to freeze as if she was struck by an acupoint, and she became as stiff as a statue in her seat, unconsciously gripping the chess piece

She could clearly feel the burning heat from the man’s palm as it traveled up her hand and into her bloodstream.

Her instincts told her to pull her hand away, but deep down, she knew she couldn’t.

So, Ruby could only remain stiff as Steve held her hand, too nervous to even swallow her saliva.

Steve could feel Ruby’s delicate hand turn as hard as a stone in his palm.

A moment of dismay and defeat flashed in his eyes before he quickly returned to his usual cold and indifferent self. He casually held Ruby’s hand, placing the chess piece on the square Madeleine had been pointing at.

Howard’s chess strategy was blocked, so he randomly chose a position and placed down a black piece.

This time, Steve didn’t wait for Ruby’s reaction and immediately pointed to an empty spot, saying, “Move here.”

While Steve was holding Ruby’s hand earlier, he had leaned closer to her, and he hadn’t moved away since. Now, when he spoke, his warm breath brushed against Ruby’s ear..
