So, let alone tenderness.
Ruby Gregory lowered her eyes slightly. The warm scenes between the male and female protagonists from the TV drama she had just watched became even clearer in her mind.
“Ruby? Ruby?” Lady Gregory’s voice broke Ruby’s contemplation.
Ruby came back to her senses. She looked at Lady Gregory, whose eyes seemed somewhat lost. Despite her fast heartbeat, she found herself fantasizing about how Steve Burton would treat her tenderly.
“What are you thinking? The doorbell rang, and the housekeeper is making dinner. You should go open the door; it might be your dad coming back,” Lady Gregory said.
To cover her embarrassment, Ruby quickly stood up and answered “Oh.” She hurriedly walked towards the door, passed the foyer, and without even looking through the peephole, she directly opened the door, cutely calling out, “Dad.”
Ruby’s voice had barely faded when she suddenly bit her lip hard, staring at the figure standing outside. Her face drained of color, and she instinctively tightened her grip on the door handle.
Steve stood elegantly at the doorstep with a takeaway container, his gaze fixed on Ruby.
Ruby’s heartstrings tightened. She lowered her eyes slightly, hiding her gaze, and remained silent.
The two stood quietly facing each other at the doorway.

Lady Gregory took out a pair of unused men’s slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them at the door: “Come on in and sit down.”
“Thank you, Aunt Gregory,” Steve replied politely and bent his body, took off his shoes, changed into slippers, and walked into the room.
Lady Gregory enthusiastically invited Steve to sit down, personally brewed tea for him, and handed the teacup in front of Steve.
Although the Gregorys and the Burtons were neighbors, Steve was busy with his work. Lady Gregory occasionally ran into him, and each time he would greet her. But it never went beyond exchanging greetings, and no extensive conversations LOOK mace.
Now Steve’s sudden visit to the Gregory house made Lady Gregory a bit excited, and she warmly chatted with him.
In contrast, Ruby sat on the couch as far away from Steve as possible, without saying a word.
Steve courteously answered Lady Gregory’s inquiries, but his eyes would occasionally drift towards Ruby..
