Although Blaine was never a petty person, he was not exactly a merciful man when it came to relationship matters.
Ruby attempted to start a conversation with Blaine after dinner but to no avail. He kept his mouth shut with a cold expression on his face and he seemed very distant so Ruby decided to remain silent.
After Blaine left and went to his study, Ruby asked Aunt Heather while holding back her anger and staring at his back, “Have I offended him, Aunt Heather?”
“Well… although Master Blaine’s temperament may be unstable, you shouldn’t toy with his feelings like that, Miss Luna.”
Ruby furiously exclaimed while munching on some corn, “Toy with his feelings? When has he ever treated me warmly before?”
Aunt Heather could not help but laugh as she watched them bicker. She said, “You know, Master Blaine even told me to make you some soup because he’s worried about you feeling exhausted from last night.”
Ruby threw her corn onto the table the instant she heard that. She exclaimed, “How is this him caring about me? He’s clearly trying to show off his masculine prowess.”
Aunt Heather blushed speechlessly.
She did not expect Miss Softie’s temperament to grow even more barbarically confident in these ten years.
Although Miss Softie was unreasonable ten years ago and she would often agitate Master Blaine, she would never say anything this personal so blatantly.
Aunt Heather was flustered.
…
This was the second day of Ruby’s stay in the Kingswood Mansion and she was still quite unfamiliar with this mansion.
Although the Kingswood Mansion was not the most lavish mansion Blaine had, the entire area of this mansion was about 700 square acres of land. There was a huge courtyard and the mansion was decked out with a swimming pool, grass field and all kinds of facilities.
Ruby ate a lot during dinner and it was all thanks to Aunt Heather’s amazing cooking. It seemed if she did not exercise to burn her calories away, she would be fat in the next 98 days.
Just as she was taking a stroll in the courtyard, a huge dog suddenly charged over to her. It was barking while it excitedly ran over to Ruby.
Ruby was caught off guard since this dog was extremely huge. She was startled when it pounced on her.
While Ruby wrestled with the dog, she exclaimed, “Hey! Get off me! I don’t want to hurt you! I will kick you if you don’t get off me!”
However, that huge dog seemed to be hugging Ruby with its front paws. It was also whimpering at her like a child.
When Aunt Heather noticed the commotion at the courtyard, she walked over to them and said, “Oh, Miss Luna, it seems Hahah just wants your affection.”
Perhaps Hahah was only excited because it recognized Miss Softie.
This seemed to be the first time Ruby heard of Hahah’s name. She chuckled and asked, “It’s name is Hahah? Why isn’t it called Heheh instead?”
Aunt Heather snorted and burst out laughing.
Ruby asked while patting the huge dog’s head, “What are you laughing at, Aunt Heather? Am I wrong to say that? Who would give their dogs such a funny name? I think the dogs that Blaine have are all different from normal people.”
Aunt Heather shook her head helplessly as she muttered in her heart, ‘I’m laughing because you said the exact same thing Miss Softie said when she first heard of Hahah’s name.’
After Aunt Heather entered the house, Ruby rubbed her head while staring at Hahah. It felt familiar to her like deja vu.
However, this was indeed the first time she met Hahah. Why did Hahah seem so familiar to her then?
‘It’s name is Hahah? Why isn’t it called Heheh instead?’
She seemed to have... said that before?
A tall manly silhouette was standing by the second floor window in the study.
Blaine smiled as he watched Ruby playing with the dog in the courtyard downstairs.
‘Excellent. This will allow her to slowly regain some form of familiarity which includes her feelings toward me!’
…
This was the second night Ruby had spent with Blaine.
Ruby has been soaking herself in the bathtub for nearly two hours now. She had no intention of coming out even after her fingers were pruned.
She experienced first hand Blaine’s masculine prowess last night. It made her legs feel soft even thinking about it now.
Ruby clenched her fist and smashed it into the hot water in the tub. Water splashed her white cheeks as she seemed to be slightly fuming as she stared into the mirror.
She was a top secret agent with blood on her hands. She had battled and struggled against death countless times before and yet she found herself afraid of making love with a man!
Thud, thud, thud!
