Chapter 79: Chapter 78 Suspicious

Ruby decided to do a little more practice on the rough fabric. She didn't want her final product to look bad; it had to be perfect. The thought of creating something that fell short of her vision made her frown. She worked patiently, her hands moving rhythmically, but after a while, fatigue started to creep in. Her fingers ached, and her eyes felt heavy from focusing on the tiny stitches.

Finally, she set her work aside, stretching her arms above her head with a sigh. That's enough for now, she thought, standing up and brushing off the loose threads from her lap. She decided to step out of her room and take a small break.

Without saying a word, he scrambled to his feet and bolted out of the room, almost tripping over himself in the process.
