To the Love of My Life

Chapter 558: Chapter 558: Not Disturbing, That’s My Tenderness (12)

Every day after work, Ruby Gregory would go home alone. Edric Reat never picked her up, and Steve Burton, who would occasionally arrive early at noon, would stand by the second-floor window and watch but always saw Ruby arriving at work alone.

Apart from the first night, when he had trailed her and seen her with Edric Reat, he hadn’t seen her with Edric since. However, there was one occasion when he was about to drive off, and he saw Edric entering the residential complex.

As usual, Ruby finished work half an hour early and went to the taxi stand to wait for a ride.

Steve, after seeing her leave, rode the elevator down to the basement car park. As he was driving out of the parking lot, he saw her getting into a taxi.

Steve didn’t slam on the brakes; he just slowed down a bit and followed the taxi once it had driven a fair distance away, keeping a safe distance.

This time, the taxi didn’t stop at the entrance of Ruby’s residence but drove to the nearby Walton Supermarket. freёwebnovel.com

Ruby paid the taxi fare and went into the supermarket. Steve thought for a while, parked the car on the side of the road, and followed her in.

The supermarket was vast, and there were quite a few people. He stayed far away from Ruby. His gaze, however, never left her, and so she never noticed him.

Ruby bought quite a few things, some of which were vegetables. It surprised him because as far as he knew she was not someone who cooked. Had she started cooking?

They say that cooking is the most romantic thing between lovers. Was she truly in love with Edric, so she willingly cooked for him?

There were quite a few people in the check-out line. Steve left before Ruby, exiting through the no-purchase lane, and waited for her at a distance.

After checking out, Ruby couldn’t use the shopping cart any more. She struggled with a large shopping bag, which made Steve instinctively want to help. He suppressed the urge and quietly slowed his pace to follow her from behind.

The supermarket wasn’t far from Ruby’s place, and she walked home. It was almost ten o’clock, and there weren’t many people on the street. The dim street lamps stretched her shadow long.

The two of them, one following the other, walked separately. There was a moment when Steve felt a desire to freeze time.

However, this tranquil moment was shattered by a couple of speeding motorcycles.

The motorcycle was speeding, possibly due to alcohol. Ruby was quietly walking on the pedestrian sidewalk where she should have been safe. However, the motorcycle suddenly throttled up and swerved onto the sidewalk, heading straight for her.

Steve was the first to notice the motorcycle. As it was about to hit Ruby, he instinctively quickened his pace. He reached her side and tried to pull her away from the oncoming motorcycle. He didn’t even have a chance to stretch out his hand when he saw the motorcycle charging straight at Ruby. Without a second thought, Steve pulled Ruby into his arms and shielded her, dodging to the side.
