Ruby Gregory finally gathered up the courage to speak again, "Mr. Burton, the incident with Mr. Robbins this afternoon was all my fault. Madeleine was afraid..."
In fact, regardless of whether Madeleine helped her or not, Steve Burton would have scolded her like that.
Ruby Gregory pressed her lips together tightly, lowered her eyelids, and said softly, "Madeleine was afraid that you would make things difficult for me, so she said it was her idea. Therefore, please don't let her go abroad. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming up soon..."
At this point, Ruby's eyes became somewhat unfocused.
Being alone abroad during Chinese New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival, which are times for reunions, one would experience endless loneliness and solitude.
During those three years abroad, she would hide in her room all day during those two holidays without coming out.
She missed China, her mom and dad, and her home.
