To the Love of My Life - Chapter 590
Chapter 590: Chapter 590: Wait a little longer before giving up (30)
Russell glanced through the rearview mirror and saw Steve’s car. As he lowered his car window, Steve did the same and slowed down a little: “Steve.”
Steve also slowed down, keeping his car parallel with Russell’s, then asked: “Where to?”
“To the Gregorys’.” After answering the question, Russell realized he had said something he shouldn’t have and closed his mouth after looking at Steve.
The Gregorys’… Steve’s eyes paused for a moment, his expression as calm as ever: “What are you going to do there?”
“A couple of days ago, Uncle Gregory went fishing with my Dad and gave him a good fishing rod. My sister just returned from Oceania today and brought a few boxes of good red wine. My Dad wanted to gift a box to Uncle Gregory since he likes to drink, so he asked me to deliver it now.”
Steve nodded but didn’t say anything.
The entrance to the Gregorys’ villa was just ahead. Russell stepped on the brake and, after some thought, said, “Are you free now? If so, help me carry this red wine. It’s a bit too much for one person.”

Ruby was about to return to work at Gardenia Clubhouse on the seventh day of the lunar year. She had been at home for seven days, but she hadn’t told Lady Gregory and Maxwell about her pregnancy. She was already more than 80 days pregnant and would soon be close to three months. At that time, her belly would begin to show.
As it was winter, she could wear loose clothes to hide her belly until three or four months, but when she would be four or five months pregnant, her belly would start to grow visibly. By then, the weather would turn warm and she would wear thin clothes. She wouldn’t be able to conceal it.
If Lady Gregory and Maxwell knew that the child was Steve’s, the Burtons would undoubtedly find out quickly.
At that point, the two families would certainly push for them to marry again because of the child.
Initially, it was because of the Gregorys’ business, and now, it will be because of the child… Must their marriage always rely on other reasons? And more importantly, it was still uncertain if Steve wanted the child in her belly. If he found out she secretly kept the child he didn’t want…
Ruby couldn’t guess what Steve would do when he found out the truth, but as the baby stayed longer in her belly, she became more afraid to take the risk. Eventually, she decided to “confess” to Lady Gregory and Maxwell first.
Ruby didn’t take her afternoon nap and anxiously waited for Maxwell and Lady Gregory to wake up from their post-lunch nap. When they emerged from their bedroom, she stood up and gestured for them to sit.
Ruby sat opposite them, took a deep breath, and suppressed her slight nervousness. Then, she looked at them and said, “Dad, Mom, I have something to tell you.”
Seeing Ruby’s serious expression, Maxwell and Lady Gregory also became nervous.
Ruby didn’t wait for Maxwell and Lady Gregory to speak and took the opportunity to continue: “I’m pregnant.”

Although Steve had been trying to avoid disturbing Ruby, he couldn’t refuse Russell’s request for help in the end.
He told himself that he only wanted to see her and had no other intentions.
As they entered the villa with Russell carrying a box of red wine, a servant who happened to be in the yard opened the door for them. Steve was the first to step inside. Before he could steady himself, he heard Ruby’s familiar voice: “I’m pregnant.”

As per national regulations, the male protagonist can only tease the female protagonist, so he definitely won’t tease Maya~ Those who haven’t read the whole story shouldn’t criticize me for not writing abuse. Wait for the male protagonist to finish abusing the secondary female character before you complain! Furthermore, the regulations also state that online novels should not depict illegal activities and should be focused on spreading a positive image. Therefore, there will be no plots involving gang-r4pe, being shot to d3ath, etc.!
