Chapter 781: Chapter 781: The Most Romantic Proposal (11)
The wedding dress photo in that Twitter post was stunningly beautiful.
All of a sudden, Ruby Gregory’s sinking mood in the shower from the lack of proposal worsened again.
She held the phone to her chest, looked up at Steve Burton who was carefully drying her hair, and then gently moved her gaze before saying, “Steve, you know what? A few days ago I was watching TV and saw a scene.”
“What scene?” Steve naturally moved Ruby’s head slightly and continued to blow dry the other side of her hair.
“Well, it’s a scene where a guy proposes to a girl by hiding a ring in a cake. When the girl accidentally bites the ring while eating, she spits it out and sees a diamond ring. She is stunned for a moment, and then the guy takes advantage of her confusion to ask her to marry him. Doesn’t that sound romantic?”
Upon hearing Ruby’s story, Steve furrowed his brows slightly, “That guy is really stupid. What if his girlfriend accidentally swallowed the diamond ring? What would he do then?”
What the hell! The point of her sharing that scene was for the proposal, not whether or not the ring would be swallowed!
Ruby couldn’t help but secretly purse her lips, lower her eyes without saying anything. What does he mean by that guy being stupid? At least that guy knew how to propose! But what about you, Steve? Aren’t you even more stupid for not proposing to her at all?!
Ruby’s silence made the bedroom quiet for a moment, with only the sound of the hair dryer whooshing continuously.
After a while, Ruby opened her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and somewhat unwillingly picked up her phone again. She retweeted the wedding dress post she had just seen, adding: I really want a beautiful proposal, then put on a wedding dress like this and walk into the wedding hall, followed by a series of blushing emojis.
After retweeting the post, Ruby pretended to show the wedding dresses to Steve, holding the phone up to his eyes, “Look, these wedding dresses are so beautiful.”
Ruby didn’t enlarge the photos of the wedding dresses, and the words she had added were right above the pictures.
So Steve would definitely see her text while looking at the pictures.
She had made it so clear that she really wanted a beautiful proposal. Surely, he should understand her expectations and react accordingly, right?
The moment Ruby handed the phone to Steve, she intently stared at his face, observing his expression.
Steve stared at Ruby’s phone screen for two seconds, then looked away. His expression remained unchanged by her tweet, still aloof and indifferent as he casually gave a faint “hmm.”
Ruby waited for Steve to finish acknowledging, continuing to stare at him for a while. She only reluctantly moved the phone away from his face when she was sure he had nothing further to say or react to, then looked back at her retweeted post and felt thoroughly heartbroken.
She had given him such a direct hint, yet he still didn’t react. Was he stupid? Or did he simply not plan to propose to her at all?
The more Ruby thought about it, the more upset she felt. Eventually, she threw her phone aside, stood up with her emotions stirred, and leaving a brief, “I’m tired,” climbed into bed.
