Bab 782: Chapter 782: The Most Romantic Proposal (12)

Steve Burton looked at Ruby Gregory wrapped tightly in a quilt on the bed, raised his hand with a touch of worry, rubbed his eyebrows, and then stood up, got on the bed, and hugged Ruby into his arms: "Ruby?"

Upset, Ruby heard Steve's reconciliatory voice, turned around, moved far away from him, and gave him her back.

Steve helplessly reached out, pulled Ruby back into his arms, held her tightly, and whispered to her: "Are you upset?"

Of course! A choked Ruby cursed inwardly. The more she thought about it, the more stifled she felt. Again, she stretched out her hand, pushed Steve away, and continued to roll far away with the quilt wrapped around her, lying with her back to him.

Steve, without any impatience, reached out once more and pulled Ruby back into his arms; Ruby continued to push back...

After such a back and forth for countless times, the exhausted Ruby eventually lay obediently in Steve's arms and fell asleep.
