Chapter 292: 292 Carefully observe and learn attentively (2)

Marry her?

Such four words, spoken so easily, he also wanted to marry her, he was restraining himself, not to marry her now.

“You make it sound so simple.” Steve Burton tightened his grip on his alcohol glass, the expression on his face becoming somewhat frozen. The next second, he turned his head towards Rusell Henris, tugged a corner of his lips into a smile. That kind of smile, though, looked somewhat sad. “Rusell, it’s not that I don’t want to marry her, but I’m afraid that marrying her would indeed wrong her.”

This time, Rusell Henris was left utterly speechless, because he really didn’t understand how Steve marrying Ruby Gregory could possibly wrong her.

Steve Burton’s eyes were caught in a daze for a moment before he finished all of the alcohol in his glass and then slowy stood up.

“Brother, where are you going?” Howard Coleman, who was hugging a girl, turned his head and asked.

He didn’t answer, merely headed towards the door of the private room. As he opened the door, he said, “Going home to sleep.”

Then, he left and closed the door behind him.

Upon leaving The Sapphire Bistro, the night outside seemed even darker and lonelier, and Steve Burton just stood by the roadside without rushing to get into his car.

Under the dim yellow streetlight in front of him was a wide street. He watched the occasional passing of speeding vehicles, as well as young men and women drunk from their nocturnal revelries pass by him.

After a long while, he raised his hand, gazing at his bare ring finger, his hand reaching up to caress it lightly.

What he was afraid of was not that Ruby would not love him after marriage, nor was it the depth of the wound in his heart from discovering something inadvertently three years ago. What he was really afraid of was simple – he was afraid of wronging her.

Now, seeing her living in front of him with no sense of self, he was already tired for her. If they really got married, wouldn’t it be for a lifetime?

Being on guard, being nice to another person for a lifetime, how tiring would that be?

Perhaps she didn’t care, she was used to it, she didn’t love him, and just treated this constant need to please as a duty or a job.

But he felt distressed for her lack of self.

Steve Burton drove back to his apartment’s underground parking lot. He sat in the car for a while before pushing open the car door and heading upstairs.

When he raised his hand to input the door code, his movements halted slightly. Then he felt that he might be overthinking. Ruby Gregory, who would be willing to stay longer with him, was probably already gone by now.

Steve Burton input the code, pushed open the door and changed shoes to go inside. But there he saw, Ruby Gregory in disheveled clothes, curled up on the floor..
