Steve Burton's tone was sharp and piercing, not at all concealing the sarcasm deep in his heart.
Ruby Gregory's heart tightened upon hearing this, and she pursed her lips, her eyelids drooping slightly to hide the hurt in her eyes.
She suddenly remembered last night, when she had wanted to help him wash the clothes he had taken off, but ended up being met with his irritation, just like today.
Every time she tried to be considerate of him, all she received in return was his disdain.
She desperately tried to do her best, but it only resulted in his aversion.
She recalled that when Steve used to talk to her in the past, his tone was sometimes cold, like now, but that was only when she had made a mistake.
At that time, his tone would be slightly cold at most, and he had never said hurtful words.
But now, even if she was not in the wrong, and was thinking about him in every way, all she got in return were sharper, more ruthless, and hurtful words each time.
