Chapter 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.
–
At eleven o’clock, Howard Coleman lay in bed, tossing and turning with his eyes closed, not feeling sleepy at all. Eventually, he couldn’t help but feel agitated, lifted the quilt, and tried to sit up when he heard someone push open the door to his room. Howard quickly laid down and pretended to be asleep.
The person walked to his bedside with light steps. When he smelled the familiar faint fragrance, he realized it was Madeleine.
Howard lay stiffly on the bed, motionless. After a while, he felt Madeleine bent down, tugging at something, and then covered him with the quilt he had lifted earlier.
Howard subconsciously held his breath. Although his eyes were closed and he couldn’t see anything, he could hear the faint rustling and determine that Madeleine had moved a chair and sat by his bedside.
Howard controlled his urge to open his eyes and lay quietly.
It was quiet in the ward. After an indefinite amount of time, just as Howard was about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt a hand gently touch his lips. He instantly became alert, and if he hadn’t controlled himself in time, he would have jumped up in shock.
Those were Madeleine’s fingers, soft and slender, slightly brushing his lips, then moving to his nose, eyes, eyebrows, and finally resting on his hair.
She must have thought he was asleep, so she touched him like that.
Howard’s entire body was tense, and his hands hidden in the quilt clenched tightly into fists.
After about half a minute, he felt a shadow looming over his head, getting lower and lower. He felt her lips gradually approaching his; his blood froze in an instant, and his heart stopped beating.
He admitted that he had indulged in alcohol and seen many people, but no matter how he played with those women, he had never kissed them.
Only… Anita Madris… the woman who was forced out of the country by Madeleine, the first one in his life to make him want to settle down, was the only woman he had ever kissed.
