When Ruby Gregory said this, her eyes became slightly red: "But I don't want to be like this anymore."
No one knows how much she regrets now, regrets that she initially approached Steve Burton with a purpose in mind.
If it weren't for her family's mission in the beginning, perhaps she and he would not be in such a terrible state now.
She had lived for the Gregorys all these years, obeyed Maxwell Gregory and Lady Gregory for so many years; she was genuinely tired. She wanted to live a good life for herself and the child in her womb once more.
She no longer wanted to be a chess piece, a puppet, the Ruby Gregory who could only survive by relying on Steve Burton.
Sometimes life is full of drama. When she didn't love him, she desperately wanted to marry him; when she had him in her heart, she began to think about leaving him.
Perhaps this is the destiny between her and him, seemingly deep as the ocean, but in fact, they are predestined but cannot be together.
