Upon hearing this, Ruby raised her eyebrows, deliberately teasing him, and kept her face slack for a long time without saying a word.
Levi, looking at her like this, his heart hung high, feeling like an ant on a hot pot at this moment, incomparably tormented.
In his over 20 years of life, he had never had such a time, and it was only when he faced Ruby that he would be like this.
Seeing his eyes staring intently at her, his expression tense, a smile flashed across Ruby's eyes, and only after a few moments did she slowly exhale a breath.
"The past is the past, you've explained it, I believe it, it was all a mistake. It wasn't what you wanted in the first place, what else could I do? Beat you to death? Or hold a grudge for the rest of your life? I am forgiving you and saying goodbye to the pain of the past, I don't want to wake up from the nightmare anymore."
When she said the last sentence, her voice lowered slightly and her eyes flashed a darker shade.
Although she could forgive him, the scars of the past could not just dissipate so quickly.
Levi clenched his fist and took her hand carefully.
When he saw that she did not resist, his heart settled down and his face was solemn and firm.
"Ruby, I know that some things cannot be easily passed, but it doesn’t matter, I will stay with you in the future and will not let you suffer a single bit of aggravation again."
Knowing that he was serious, Ruby nodded gently at his words and said nothing more.
The room fell silent, and after the showdown, the atmosphere between the two seemed to become more delicate.
Levi's gaze stayed on Ruby in front of him, seemingly unable to look away, and his heart was filled with emotion.
God was really playing tricks on people, who would have thought that the woman back then would be her.
Their first acquaintance had been so unpleasant.
And in the past five years, he had gone round and round in circles before finally finding her, but he had already become her husband.
It was a marriage that was so strange and yet so perfect that, for a while, he didn't know what to say.
But the good thing was, he hadn't missed her. It didn't matter, there was still a long road ahead and plenty of time, he could take his time to make up for her until he had healed all the wounds in her heart.
Seemingly sensing the signs of his heart, Ruby's eyes flickered slightly, half lifting her eyelids and looking towards him.
They stared at each other for a moment, and she suddenly smiled.
"So you always thought that the person back then was Amelia and that's why you kept protecting her, Levi, can I say that you are so stupid?"
How dare you take that kind of shameless woman and identify her as her, and still protect and dote on her like she was a baby.
Just thinking about it made her feel very unhappy.
Seeing her somewhat unhappy expression, Levi helplessly pulled the corner of his mouth, his face bitter.
"At that time, I went back to the bar to look for you after I woke up, but I ran into Amelia, she claimed to be you, and there was no other woman from our country there, so I didn't suspect. All these years, although I felt something was wrong, I always felt that I didn't have the same feeling in her as I did back then, but once I thought of what I had done, I didn't pursue the matter, but I was wrong for five years. If you If you hadn't exposed her, I really wouldn't have thought that she really wasn't the same person."
At these words, Ruby narrowed her eyes slightly, pulled her hand out of his palm and looked at him with a smirk.
