While Ruby drank some milk, she did not realize that her mouth had been stained by the foam from the glass of foamy milk.
Blaine's gaze dimmed slightly while staring at her as he reached over to wipe the foam away from her mouth.
His movements were extremely natural.
"Was it the Drake family?"
Ruby nodded before lowering her head and stirring the bowl of chicken soup while speaking in a cheerful tone, "Did you know that the young master of the Drake family has a crush on me and he wanted me to stay by his side?"
Blaine's handsome face grew colder.
"Does he not know that you're my woman?"
Ruby teased intentionally, "Oh, he does but that young master just loves me way too much that he's willing to do anything to get me."
Blaine's eyes dimmed.
'The young master of the Drake family was it? I won't ever allow the Drake family to have another peaceful day in the future.'
He clearly had a death wish to snatch Blaine's woman away.
Ruby raised her head, put her fork down and rested her chin on her palms as she stared intensely at Blaine with her beady eyes. She said, "Well, Blaine, now you know that I can totally live without you and I have plenty of admirers. Hence, if you don't appreciate me, there are more people pursuing after me."
Blaine was not offended when he heard that statement as he stared at her with a teasing gaze. He said, "Since you can totally live without me, why would you even risk your life to escape from the young master of the Drake family?"
"I don't like being held captive."
"Marry me, Softie."
That came out way too suddenly and there were no signs of him proposing to her before this.
Blaine's calm demeanor was as if he was telling her, "Hey Softie, let's go out for a stroll."
"Oh Blaine, this is such an interesting way for you to propose."
Ruby smiled as she picked up her spoon and stirred the soup in her bowl. She seemed displeased.
Blaine took a glance at the small strawberry cake beside her and said, "I baked this cake myself. Why don't you give it a try?"
Ruby scooped a spoonful of cake before noticing a diamond ring buried in the cake.
Ruby was speechless.
The woman frowned as she looked at the filthy diamond ring as she asked, "Who taught you to propose this way, Blaine?"
Blaine realized something was amiss as he raised his brows slightly and asked, "What's the matter? Is that not okay?'
"Of course it's not! What year are we even in right now? How could you still hide a ring in a cake? Oh, good lord, words cannot describe how horribly bad your methods are."
Blaine was speechless.
Just what kind of a dumb idea did Old K even suggested him with!
Blaine felt the need to deploy Old K to the desert after this!
…
Blaine and Ruby got married on Serban Islands after a month had gone by.
The Serban Islands belonged to Blaine.
They invited a few friends over to attend their wedding. It was quite a low profile wedding.
…
Blaine resigned as the director of the Dark Organization after half a year and enjoyed some quality time with Ruby.
They travelled to every corner of the world and many memories were made.
After seeing the world, they returned to their own private island in order to start family planning.
…
Another half a year had gone by.
It was just a random night.
Blaine's phone was ringing constantly. It had to be a phone call asking him to return as the director of the Dark Organization.
Blaine took a look at the sleeping woman. After they were married for a year, all the turmoil and bloodshed that was happening out there no longer concerned them. Ruby's habit of staying on guard was slowly changing and now, she was soundly asleep in his arms.
A good night's sleep was truly a luxury for people like them.
Blaine gently reached out for his phone. He walked toward the balcony outside of his room and stared at the vast blue ocean before picking up the call.
"Hello. What is it?"
Old K sounded incredibly frantic through the call, "Master Blaine, after you and the madam stepped away from the organization, there's a huge internal shift in the management. The president wants me to contact you and he wants you to return to your position."
Blaine raised his brows. While grabbing onto the railing of the balcony, he stared at the beautiful scenery ahead as he held onto his phone. He smiled and said, "But I've married a wife whom all of R Country hated."
"The president has already given the order half a year ago. He said it doesn't matter who you ended up marrying. He won't oppose your marriage as long as you return to your position!"
Blaine was displeased as he casually replied, "I happen to be having quite the time of my life after all of my obligations were stripped away from me. I love feeling like this."
Old K was helplessly speechless.
…
Ruby turned over and did not feel Blaine next to her in the room so she opened her eyes and got up.
She looked at the beautiful blue sky and the ocean outside through the white curtains that were fluttering with the breeze. It was the beginning of another day.
She got out of bed.
She then entered the washroom to freshen up.
However, not long after that, a loud scream could be heard coming from the washroom.
"Blaine!"
The man that was standing at the balcony assumed something had happened so he rushed in.
"What happened?"
When he opened the door, all he could see was Ruby sitting on the toilet bowl with her extremely messy long hair, looking like a mad person. She was holding a pregnancy test strip in her hand.
Ruby had a bitter look as she handed the pregnancy strip toward Blaine as she said, “Just look at what you've done to me!"
Blaine took the pregnancy strip and took a glance at it. However, as a man, he would obviously not understand these things since he had never used something like that before.
"What is the meaning of this?"
