Chapter 11 : If You Make a Mistake, You Have to Apologize 2

“Uh… I can’t, Paula. I need to help my mother with the desserts,” Ruby said, eager to leave. The siblings’ looks made it clear she wasn’t wanted.“What a shame. Next time, Ruby, you must come and chat with me. I miss you and want to spend some time catching up with you.”“Yes, next time, Paula,” she replied.“Theo, put the desserts in bowls, wash the boxes and return them to Ruby.”“Yes, Mom.” Theo carried the basket of desserts into the kitchen as his mother had instructed. In under five minutes, he returned with the cleaned lunch boxes.“You go and open the door for Ruby as well.”“Yes,” he replied reluctantly.Ruby waved goodbye to Paula before turning to Chris, her gaze lingering on him. Following Theo to the front door, she knew he would seize any chance to tease her again.“Are you going to flirt with Chris like last time, Ruby? So sly,” Theo said. Just as she thought, he was already teasing her before she even reached the door.“Think whatever you want. Just give me bac

Chapter 12 : Birthday 1

Several days later, Amber prepared a birthday party for her daughter. She invited Tucker and his son to join them. However, she still hesitated about whether she should also invite the neighbors, so she decided to ask the birthday girl first.“I don’t think you should invite him, Mom. He probably doesn’t want to come.”“Would it be rude if we didn’t? Their house is so close. We decorated the yard beautifully, and if he looks over here, he’ll definitely know we’re having a party.” Amber looked at the string lights hanging in the trees, the thought weighing heavily on her.“It’s better not to, Mom. How about this, I’ll take a piece of birthday cake to Paula. That should be fine, and it won’t seem too impolite.”“Do you really think that’s okay?”“Of course. If we tell them in advance, they’ll think we’re asking for birthday presents. And then her son will probably take the chance to mock me.”“Alright, if that’s what makes you comfortable, I have no problem.”“Thank you, Mom. And

Chapter 13 : Birthday 2

“You’re right, Tucker. Flynn can’t sit still like an adult for too long. Come on, Nina, let’s go prepare the cake. And could I trouble you to switch off the lights, Tucker?” Ruby asked.“Of course. It’s time to blow out the candles and the birthday girl shouldn’t do any work,” Tucker said as he noticed Ruby about to get up to help.“Alright, then. It’s over there.” She pointed out the light switch to him.“Flynn, be patient, okay? We’ll be having cake in just a moment,” Ruby said to the only child at the party.“Yes,” Flynn replied, his eyes half-closed with drowsiness.Tucker turned off the lights and sat beside the birthday girl. In five minutes, Nina and Amber entered with the lit cake, and everyone sang together.Upstairs, away from the party, a young man cracked open his window. ‘A birthday?’ He watched the partygoers, recognizing everyone but one unfamiliar woman. Chris recalled that Ruby’s birthdays had always troubled him; she would pester him for gifts, which irritated h

Chapter 14 : Birthday 3

Nina watched Theo’s car as it drove away. She tried hard to recall where she’d seen his face before, certain the handsomeness and striking features should have stood out to her somewhere in the past. But where? She thought until her head hurt. Craning her neck, she looked for her friend—no sign of Ruby emerging yet. The handsome young man had already gone inside.Theo walked into the house and was surprised to see Ruby there at eight in the evening. His eyes went from the cake box to the jewelry case his mother was choosing.“Theo, you’re back?”“Yes. But what’s going on, Mom?” he asked her, though his gaze first flicked to Ruby before turning to his elder brother.“Today is Ruby’s birthday, Theo, so I want to find her a gift. I can’t decide what to give her,” his mother said. Theo’s face hardened as he heard this.“You’re trading a cake for my mother’s diamonds, Ruby?”“Theo! Don’t speak to Ruby like that. That’s terribly rude. Sit down here and help me choose instead,” his moth

Chapter 15 : A Gift from Him 1

The next day, Chris strode up to Amber’s house and rang the doorbell, catching her off guard. When she discovered the reason for his visit, her surprise only grew.“Usually, I always get Ruby a birthday gift every year. This year, I completely forgot, so I came to ask for your help. I want to take Ruby to choose a belated birthday gift.”“Ruby’s birthday gift?” Amber repeated, surprised.“Yes.”“All right, I’ll call Ruby. Have a seat. She might not be awake yet.”“Thank you.”Amber quickly walked up the stairs to the second floor. She knocked on her daughter’s bedroom door, and in an instant, Ruby opened it. Seeing her mother’s startled expression, she grew curious.“What’s wrong, Mom? You look so surprised.”“How could I not be? Chris just showed up and wants to take you out to buy a birthday gift.”“Chris?” Ruby’s eyes widened in disbelief.“Yes, of course. I’m even surprised. Are you going, dear?”“Yes, I’ll go.”“Oh, my daughter didn’t even think twice.” Her mother almo

Chapter 16 : A Gift from Him 2

“Just realized now? You couldn’t think of that before?” His sarcastic words made Ruby bite her lip hard before she answered him back.“I was just misguided before.”“Misguided?” His mocking tone made her heart sink.“I have to apologize to you for everything that happened. I was selfish and didn’t care how much I annoyed or troubled you. Now, I’ve realized it. I won’t cause you any trouble anymore.” Ruby was forced to apologize to him formally.“How so?” Chris asked back, his voice harsh. When Ruby heard it, a sharp pain struck her left chest.“I won’t meddle with you anymore,” she answered him with determination.“I hope so. Since you’ve been here, I’ve seen you interfering with me and my family many times already.” The one who heard it pressed her lips into a straight line.“You said you would take me to buy a gift, but in truth you tricked me into coming here just to scold me, didn’t you?” After being criticized so many times, Ruby also lost her composure.“The gift, I was g

Chapter 17 : A Gift from Him 3

“I forgot to ask if you’re hungry. I was worried that if we ordered too much, we wouldn’t be able to finish it. They only allow two hours to eat here,” she said after reading the menu details and understanding them.“I haven’t eaten either, but what we just ordered is already plenty. Eat it all first, then we can order more.”“All right.”While waiting for the food, Ruby placed the diamond ring box on the table, opened it, and slipped the small ring onto her left ring finger. She wiggled her finger, admiring the beauty of the ring. Across from her, his gaze grew cold and sharp. Chris, noticing her gesture, understood perfectly why Ruby had chosen to wear it on that particular finger.“Just because you’re wearing the ring I bought on your left ring finger doesn’t mean things between us will go that way, Ruby,” he murmured softly, cutting off any wandering thoughts she might have. Ruby put the ring box back into the paper bag and looked up at him.“Yes, I know. I just wanted to wear

Chapter 18 : It was Even Worse 1

After the birthday party, Nina visited Ruby quite often. Tucker also started bringing his son over more frequently. Amber’s house felt livelier than usual because whenever the chubby little boy was with Ruby, fun and laughter echoed throughout the house.“Ruby, can I ask you something?” Nina whispered after putting Flynn to bed.“What is it?”“On a Saturday like this, where does Tucker go? Why does he leave Flynn here?”“How would I know? He probably has his own errands. Why are you asking like that? Is something wrong?”“It’s nothing. I’ve never had a real boyfriend. At work, all I see are old bosses.”“Wait, don’t tell me you like Tucker?”“He’s both handsome and warm. How could I not like him?”“Oh, so that’s why you act all loving toward his kid—you’re hoping to get the dad too.”“Idiot! I’m not thinking like that at all.” The one caught quickly turned her face to the side, adjusting her glasses with her hand, but a smile lingered on her lips, making her cheeks almost burs

Chapter 19 : It was Even Worse 2

“Well, you never know. On a day off like this, the branch might be busy. Maybe the executives came by to check that everything was in order.”“Never mind, Nina. The truth is, Chris didn’t want to come over and greet me. That should be enough of the truth.” Ruby smiled again, but it seemed more forced than genuine.“Walk past each other often like this. When are you going to give up on Chris? I feel sorry for you. I thought that moving to another province would mean you’d have a real boyfriend by now.”“When did I ever say I didn’t?”“Huh! Really? Who? Tell me right now, Ruby!”“I’m just kidding. Someone’s flirting with me, but I don’t have a boyfriend.”“Ruby, why don’t you just accept that guy as your boyfriend?” Nina couldn’t help feeling a bit envious. A beautiful, cute girl like Ruby, of course, someone would be interested in her. Her face was like a doll’s, with big, round eyes and naturally curled lashes, and her figure was attractive, so different from Nina, who looked pla

Chapter 20 : Unavoidable 1

Several days later, Paula visited them, giving no prior notice. Amber welcomed her warmly, while Ruby, out of courtesy, joined the conversation. Flynn, left in their care the previous day by Tucker, also tagged along.“Ruby, you haven’t come to see me since the day you brought me that cake. So I had no choice but to come and see you myself,” Paula said, and even her greeting made Ruby falter.“I’m sorry, Paula. I didn’t know which days you would be off, so I didn’t know when to visit,” Ruby tried to explain politely.“You could come to my house in the evenings.”“I just didn’t want to trouble you,Paula, if you were tired,” Ruby said, making her excuse.“Look at your daughter, Amber. These days, she treats me like I’m some stranger,” Paula complained, turning her words toward Ruby’s mother instead.“You work so hard every day, Paula. We really didn’t want to trouble you.”“So you think that way, too, huh? And where are you two planning to go?” Paula noticed a bag sitting nearby,
