But Callum could not let her leave so easily, not when he finally got her to come back. He ran after Ruth. But, when he reached the courtyard, he saw Abel’s signature Rolls-Royce parked under a dim street lamp.He stopped, stunned. He was not the only one surprised. Ruth was, too. She stood still for a few seconds before she smiled and strode forward. Before Kallan could step out and open the door for her, she got in herself. But there was no one in the backseat. Ruth’s smile froze on her face, but she refused to give up hope and looked toward the passenger’s seat. Abel was not there. Kallan returned to the car. When he saw Ruth’s confusion, he said respectfully, “Mr. Abel asked me to send you home, Madam.”Ruth positioned herself properly in her seat. “Does he not like me anymore?” she asked dejectedly.The question seemed to be directed at Kallan, but also like she was just talking to herself. “Um…” Kallan said. He did not dare to answer the question. Not that

In the end, Abel sent Ruth back to her bedroom while he returned to the guest room. Ruth lay in bed. Since only one light was turned on, the room was dim. She stared at the chandelier above her head for a long time. Then, as if she remembered something, she got up and headed outside. The guest room door was shut tight. She knocked on it twice. When she got no reply, she opened the door, only to have Abel also open it at the same time. Ruth already had one foot raised to walk in. She did not manage to stop in time and crashed into Abel. He instinctively brought his arms up and caught her by the waist to help her stand on her feet. He looked at her. “What’s wrong?”Ruth felt as if she had crashed into a bouncy rock. She staggered back and felt dizzy. When she finally regained her footing, she looked up and was stunned. Abel had just come out of the bathroom and had a bathrobe on. Its collar was loose around his neck and showed his pecs. Water dripped from his hair and slid dow

Abel took Ruth to the master bedroom, put her on the bed, and straightened up to look at her with stormy eyes. Ruth felt awkward under his gaze and wrapped herself up in the blanket. “Why are you staring at me like that? I’ve already said everything…”“You just said you can’t fully respond to my love.”“I did, yes...”She had just returned to Lockton Corporation. She could not afford to divert her focus to responding to Abel’s love. Abel’s expression lightened a little. “Does that mean that you have thought about responding before?”Ruth was momentarily stunned. “Of course! Only sc*mbags won’t respond to other people’s love or reject them properly. I’m not that sort of person!”Abel suddenly smiled in a relieved but resigned fashion. At that moment, the suffocating atmosphere between them disappeared, and the wall that had been erected between them over the past few days broke. Ruth was confused. “Why are you smiling?”“I don’t think you getting into your husband’s bed is a

People were looking over. In the past, they would have “enthusiastically” started talking about what was going on and criticizing Ruth. After all, in the past, it did not matter even if she was the eldest daughter. She did not have any real power. Hugh was Callum’s secretary. Everyone could tell who was more important between him and Ruth. However, today, they just watched and did not dare to come forward to speak because they were worried that Ruth would remember how rude they were to her in the past. Hugh could sense the aloof gazes, and his face turned red. Anger could be detected in his voice. “The board of directors might have decided on this, but we haven’t finished transferring the shares to you. Yet you’re already trying to show off your authority?”“Of course. You taught me that.” Ruth smiled and suddenly changed the topic. “I agree that this isn’t what I should do, though. After all, no one can say for sure what would happen when it comes to certain things. We need

On her way back, Ruth mulled over what Callum said, and the more she thought about it, the more she found that something was off. Without Callum’s reminder, she would not have realized what was going on. Lockton Corporation’s shares were not worth much. Ruth wanted them for sentimental reasons, but why did Callum keep such a tight leash over them?To guard against her?He even had the crazy idea that Seema was helping her to get the shares because of that. Not even Abel thought of that. Just how wary was Callum to be so on guard against her?It was strange. Callum was a profiteer, but he would rather give away money to guard against her than make a profit. “Say, is there something about Lockton Corporation that I don’t know?” Ruth suddenly asked. The question seemed to be directed at Eilam, but also at nobody in particular. Eilam was driving. When he heard the question, he looked at her through the rearview mirror. “Are you asking me?”Ruth looked at him. “Do you know?”
