As soon as Leopold went out, Ruby got out of bed immediately, actually waking up when he started speaking.
Christopher failed to catch her, his face darkening, "Why are you running?"
Ruby glared at him, looking at his pale face without saying a word.
Christopher chuckled softly, adjusted his posture, and beckoned her over, "Come here!"
"Let me see if my hand is swollen?"
Ruby watched Christopher's movements, standing still!
Her heart filled with resentment!
Ella was so excessive, so despicable, nearly getting her assaulted, almost getting him killed, and he only ended the contract without renewing it!
What's the use of a man like this for her?!
Just to keep him around to anger herself?
And Christopher also persisted, maintaining the action of reaching out to her until he started sweating from his forehead!
Seeing this, Ruby's heart ached!
Unable to outstubborn him, she chose to avoid annoyance by ignoring him!
She walked angrily toward the door, disregarding him!
