Married To a Stranger Chapter 129
Matilda's request for a promise utterly took Ruby aback. It was not the most demanding request. It was the least she could expect from her grandson's partner to stay with him till the very end. Ruby's life with Owen started on a strange note, but soon enough, they found themselves in an intangible bind. It was not expressed. But the weirdly attached couple felt it over time, their bond had gotten stronger. Ruby wasn't sure about Owen's feelings for her. But she had stood by her through thick and thin. She had not gotten the kind of response from him that would give her the confidence. But deep down. Something in her had already been lit. A tiny spark that gave her hope, even if she didn't know it yet. And without any hesitation, her hands filled Matilda's. I promise, grandma, she said. Matilda's face broke into a relieved smile. Thank you, sweetie. She said, you do
Married To a Stranger Chapter 130
The Knight House was already buzzing. Bright and early. When Ruby came downstairs, she found Owen lounging on the living room sofa, a rare sight for this time. Time of day, she stretched, strolled over and arched an eyebrow. Playing hooky. She smirked. She'd just woken up and her face was fresh and glowing. Even without makeup. Her skin was clear, her lips pink and pristine. Even in her pajamas. She looked radiant. Owen glanced up from his phone, his eyes instantly growing soft. Morning, I have a meeting at ten. He informed, then a few things to take care of around three. I'll be back for the party tonight. Ruby nodded. So why are you still here? Owen cleared his throat and rose to his feet, his cheeks flushing faintly. Grandma wants us to try on our outfits. Ruby blinked, not understanding his reaction. Huh? He closed the distance between them, gently taking her h

It gave her a sense of calm amid the otherwise frantic life she had lived.It grew on her, and soon enough, she had found herself away from the life of constant phone calls. If something really came up, she would receive an email instead.This was the way she had worked. The moment Isabel dialed it, she connected to a recorded voice on the other end, informing her that the number had been turned off.Ruby lifted an eyebrow. That's it. That was your pl
Married To a Stranger Chapter 127
Owen was a man who could hide his emotions. For the majority of the time Ruby had spent with him, she hardly had a chance to read his face right? She never knew what the man was thinking beneath the stone, cold exterior. But this time it was evident. She could see it crystal clear. His eyes were bloodshot. His tight grip on her hand told the story. He was indeed jealous. Ruby followed Owen's gaze and looked at Brendan. For a moment. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She never imagined Brendan's presence would unsettle Owen this much. She didn't pull her hand away. She let it stay where it was all. Eyes were on Brendan. Now he could feel their intense stares, but one gaze stood out from the rest. Was cold, heavy and almost burned holes in him. Brendan finished signing the document and looked up to meet Owen's stare. He offered Owen a placid smile, before turn
Married To a Stranger Chapter 126
Ruby had always felt in her guts that she wasn't Warren's biological daughter. But that feeling wasn't enough to protect her from the label. Everyone quietly gave her the illegitimate one. Bastard child of the Andersons, the child nobody wanted. For years, the word clung to her like a stain. She believed it too. She believed there was something wrong with her blood, something shameful, and Sheila made sure of that. Her constant toxic whispers had convinced her that Ruby's life was a debt owed to the Andersons, that her existence itself was an insult to Isabel. There was a day Ruby would never forget, the day she tried to leave. Sheila wouldn't allow it. She demanded that Ruby stay and earn her keep. Ruby was just 13 when it happened, she had knelt for ten agonizing hours in the freezing winter air. Her thin clothes, no match for the cold. When it was finally over, she lifted her head and looked straight at Sheila.

Sensing the sparks flying between Ruby and Isabel.Brendan quickly waved his hands, looking mortified. "I'm so sorry. I didn't realize this was a special occasion.Maybe I shouldn't have come. I'm really not Miss Ruby's husband. Please don't get the wrong idea about her. I apologize for my intrusion."But the more he defended her, the more convinced everyone became. It was a classic story they'd all seen on TV 1000 times.The pretty girl who's ashamed of their blue-collar partner and pretends not to know them in public. Right now, Brendan looked just like one of those pitiful, hardworking, humble husbands.Too scared to claim his own wife. People started chiming in one by one. A person said, "Ruby, every job deserves respect.Without guys like your husband, we wouldn't have all these high rises. You shouldn't look down on him." Another person added, "Dr. N. Honestly, it's fine if you just admit it.With your re

Miss Anderson, you're already married. You cannot marry again. The shocked city clerk said flatly as he slid a paper towards Ruby. Here's your marriage certificate, so we cannot register you again. Ruby blinked, shocked. I'm sorry. What did you just say? You're married? He snapped, waving to the

In an instant, Owen's face darkened, his eyes narrowed, completely void of emotion. He stared at her for a second, then turned to head back into the party. Ruby quickly stepped in front of him, blocking his path. Owen's brow furrowed. Move, he ordered. His voice was low and smooth. The kind of v
