"Sister-in-law, do you and my brother live separately all the time?" After having dinner, Serena had long since been cured by the food and had forgotten all about the unpleasant things that had just happened.
She hugged a pillow and sat beside Ruby, asking with a face full of gossip.
Ruby didn't answer, but only looked at Levi with unkind eyes.
"Serena, you're sleepy, it's time to go back to bed." Levi spoke coldly, as he gave a glance at Serena.
"I don't want to go back, it's still early, I can't sleep so early. I want to be here for longer." Serena shook her head and simply went over and hugged Ruby's arm.
Ruby resisted the touch of others and subconsciously frowned.
Levi didn't miss this action of hers, he directly got up and reached out to clasp Serena's arm, "It's time for you to go back to sleep, if you don't sleep, go back to the Sharp’s tomorrow."
"Brother?" Serena looked at Levi with disbelief.
Levi dragged her out of Ruby’s house and returned to his, before he said impatiently, "What is your mission this time? To spy on me and Ruby?"
"No, I just like my sister-in-law and want to stay at her house for a while longer. In case sister-in-law is suddenly in a good mood and wants to make a snack or something, won't I be able to eat then? Brother, you are really heartless. I come here once, what's wrong if you let me eat more? It's not like it's going to kill you." Serena sheepishly avoided Levi's eyes, lowered her head and muttered in a small voice.
"Go to your room and sleep now." Levi had little patience left.
"Brother, are you and my sister-in-law really separated? You've just gotten married, newlyweds, it couldn't really be ......" Serena moved a few steps and couldn't help but run back to Levi, her eyes with gossip.
Levi didn't say anything, just lowered his head and looked coldly at Serena.
Serena was uncomfortable by his look, and she dared not speak any more nonsense and hurriedly trotted into the room.
But only a moment after the door was closed, Serena opened it again and poked her head out, "Brother, really, I still have to report to grandpa, don't make it too difficult for me, why don't you go next door and make do with sister-in-law for one night? Otherwise I really can't give a good account."
"Fuck off." Levi was now regretting it, how could he have taken Serena home with him?
She was a problem he could not wait to throw out now.
But when Zack arranged for Serena to come over, he should have seen that there were problems between him and Ruby, so he asked Serena to spy on them.
He raised his hand and rubbed his temples for a long time before exhaling slowly.
Serena was the worst liar, it was estimated that at this moment she had told the old man about the situation between him and Ruby, Levi had a hunch.
As he was thinking about it, Levi's mobile phone suddenly rang, and he took it out to look at the caller, very surprised.
Zack's call came much sooner than he even imagined.
"Levi, there is something I don’t want to hide from you. I went for a medical check-up with your grandmother some time ago and was found to have cancer, which is already at an advanced stage. There's nothing I worry about, except for you and your grandmother. Your grandmother's health has not been good and she will probably die sooner than me. I don't have anything to look forward to in my life, except that you will get married early and have kids. I want to see you and Ruby have a baby before I die, so that I can go in peace. Can you fulfill my wish?”
Only when the phone was connected, the weak voice of Zack came through on the other end of the phone.
The corners of Ruby's mouth twitched and she silently glanced at Levi.
Ruby raised her hand and rubbed her temples before she said patiently, "Grandpa, I think it's better to let nature take its course."
"Alas, I don’t have many days left, so that's all I have left to wish for." Zack simply began to play the pity game.
Ruby really couldn't do anything with such an old man, and looked at Levi for help.
When Levi picked up the phone, he heard the words that Zack said afterwards, "Ruby, Levi has been without a mother since he was a child and has had a hard time, I have always been worried that he would not know how to love others, now that you are married, I really hope that the two of you will be able to live a good and harmonious life."
Levi pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but his heart was inexplicably bitter.
Zack rambled on and on, and Levi remained silent and did not speak, just listening to what he had to say.
Only when the old man had almost finished talking did he speak helplessly, "Grandpa, I know, Ruby and I will try our best."
Only after saying that, he hung up the phone and looked at Ruby.
"Your grandfather is very healthy, although there are some old age diseases, but there is no problem to live for 20 to 30 more years. Levi, even if you want to have children, you should find a woman you like, I ......"
"What if the woman I like is you?"
