Chapter 21 You Seem to Be Interested in Me?
“Dad, let’s go in quickly. Rita said she had something to deal with and couldn’t go with us. But we can’t let the Finn family wait for us, right?” Ruby held Spencer’s arm and acted like a spoiled child. It seemed that the father and the daughter had a good relationship.
Spencer frowned. He felt that what Ruby said made sense.
Seeing that Susan was still losing her temper and the servant in the Finn family was standing at the door looking at her, Spencer was a little dissatisfied. He cleared his throat to remind Susan, “Well, Susan, since Rita has other things to deal with, we don’t wait for her. Let’s go in first. They’re all waiting for us.”
Susan was naturally a little unwilling. But she couldn’t refute Spencer in front of others. So she could only hold back. When she left, she glared at Ruby viciously.
Ruby didn’t care about it. She just held Spencer’s arm, and happily walked in.
She looked forward to seeing the fiancé who she had never met before.
There were a lot of people sitting in the living room, men, women and children. Seeing Spencer and his family walking in, they all looked over at them.
Even if Spencer had been around, he was a little nervous at this time and trembling.
Susan saw many young talents over there at a glance. All of them looked good. Thinking about her daughter, Rita, she hated Ruby’s guts.
“Hello! Come and have a seat.”
Hattie was still very easy-going, especially when she saw Ruby. She seemed to treat Ruby as her own daughter.
Looking at Ruby’s vulgar dress, other people frowned, especially Levi’s grandmother Isabella. Obviously, she didn’t like Ruby.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Ruby, you’re so gorgeous today.” Seeing the sequins on the dress, Hattie couldn’t help sneering.
Sure enough, this woman was just a hillbilly. She dared to wear such vulgar clothes, just like a dancing girl.
But thinking about that she was going marry Levi, Hattie was happy again.
“This is Levi’s father. Last time, he had some affairs in the company, so he didn’t go to your home with us. Today, he specifically stayed at home waiting to see you.” Hattie led them three sat down. But she herself sat next to a middle-aged man with a serious face, held his arm, and introduced Ruby with a smile.
Ruby looked at the man, smiled politely, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Finn.”
Although Ralph Finn didn’t like the girl in front of him, he didn’t show it because he was well-educated. He just responded politely.
Upon seeing this, Hattie introduced other people to Ruby, “This is Levi’s grandma.”
Isabella looked so mean. It seemed that she was very unkind. After hearing Hattie’s words, she snorted.
Ruby smiled brighter and brighter, “Hello, Mrs. Finn.”
Isabella just ignored Ruby. When she was about to say something to judge Ruby, she was pulled by the person next to her.
Then Ruby noticed the person. It was a young girl in her 20s who sat next to Isabella. She dressed in a white cheongsam, giving others a gentle and elegant temperament.
Realizing that Ruby was looking at herself, she also smiled at Ruby before speaking softly, “Grandma, she’s Levi’s fiancée. If Levi knows that you treat her like this, he will be so sad.”
Isabella still frowned, but she didn’t speak anymore.
Ruby couldn’t help but glanced at the girl again. Although this girl seemed to be speaking for her, it seemed that she was silently declaring something.
Ruby smiled, feeling more interesting.
It seemed that the Finn family was really messier than the Harold family.
She didn’t have time to play with these people. She had to find a chance to terminate the marriage contract.
“Ma’am, where is Levi? Didn’t he get engaged to me? I didn’t see him last time at home. Why didn’t I see him this time?” Ruby looked at Hattie innocently. Her voice was so sweet.
Hattie felt disgusted. She didn’t expect that Ruby would pretend to be like this so much. Last time when she saw Ruby, she clearly looked vulgar last time.
Maybe the Harold family were afraid of her being shameless in front of others, so they had deliberately trained her in the past two days.
But no matter how Ruby pretended, she was just a hillbilly.
“He, he is upstairs. Alas, since the accident, he has become taciturn and doesn’t talk to people much. If you want to see him, you can go upstairs to see him. It’s in the second room on the left.”
Hattie raised her hand and pretended to wipe the corner of her eye.
Ruby felt so speechless. Then she simply answered, “Okay, then I will go up and see him.”
She got up and walked in the direction of the stairs.
The faces of the people present changed, especially Ralph. He looked so angry.
Where were the girl’s manners? This Ruby was really too much!
His dissatisfaction was all on his face. Spencer was also very angry.
However, Spencer couldn’t teach Ruby a lesson in front of the Finn family. He could only explain with a smile, “Ruby is a more straightforward child. She probably wants to see Levi.”
Hattie covered her mouth and smiled, but she didn’t expose Spencer’s lies.
It was okay that Spencer didn’t explain it. Once he explained it, things became worse.
The atmosphere downstairs was heavy. But Ruby didn’t bother to pay attention to it. She went up to the second floor. Then she opened the door of the second room on her left.
There was a faint smell of blood in the room. At the same time, a familiar smell permeated.
Ruby couldn’t help frowning as soon as she walked in. After thinking about it for a while, she couldn’t remember where she had smelled it before.
“Anyone here?” She asked louder tentatively, and walked into the room without waiting for the response.
The room was cleaned up. A man was sitting on the balcony in a wheelchair with his back facing the door.
He seemed to have heard the voice. Then he pressed something down. The wheelchair turned around slowly. The man’s face also turned around together.
Ruby stared at that face for a moment, and took a few more glances at the silver mask on his face.
It was a very delicate mask.
She didn’t know if it was an illusion. When she looked at the man in front of her, she had a strange sense of familiarity.
“Have we met somewhere?” Ruby stared at him for a while, then asked curiously.
The man’s low laughter rang out in the room. He asked with a teasing tone, “This young lady, do you always strike up a conversation with other men like this?”
It was not that person’s voice.
Ruby judged it right away. The nasty guy she had met twice should not be the man in front of her. But the two of them gave her the same feeling.
“No, I just think you are similar to someone I know. Are you Levi? My fiancé?” Ruby directly sat down on the bed and looked at Levi.
The man’s skin was very fair. The chestnut bangs fell on his forehead, covering most of the mask.
His chin was angular and his lips were thin with a bit red.
He wore a finely hand-made black shirt. Three buttons on the neckline were unbuttoned, revealing his delicate and beautiful collarbone. He wore a pair of ironed trousers.
Even in a wheelchair, he could make others feel a little depressing.
“You seem to be very interested in me?” Ruby was startled by the low male voice, which sounded abruptly in her ears.
That familiar feeling came to her again.
