บท 183: Chapter 183: Crying herself into unconsciousness (29)

After Lady Gregory spoke, she walked towards the door. As she reached out to open the door, she turned back and added to Ruby, "Ruby, you won't disappoint Mom and Dad, will you?"

Ruby looked at Lady Gregory's hopeful eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally slightly moved her lips. But she found herself incapable of uttering a single word, so she just lightly nodded at Lady Gregory.

Only then did Lady Gregory confidently open the door and leave.

Ruby stood alone in the bedroom, staring at the tightly closed door. The scolding words Lady Gregory had just spoken with such disappointment were echoing in her mind.

No one has ever truly cared whether she is happy or not.

No one has ever considered whether she is willing to do such things or not.

Is it because she is a member of the Gregorys that she must accept this fate and arrangement?

She truly doesn't want to go ahead with Steve Burton.

She wants to have her own self-respect and pride.
