Ruby Gregory struggled for a while, and seeing Steve Burton still showing no interest in the porridge, she said with persistence, "If you don't eat now, the porridge will get cold."
Upon hearing this, Steve suppressed the urge to smile, his face exuding impatience at Ruby's insistence.
Ever since Ruby understood the world, she had always been nice to Steve. However, her kindness never forced him to do anything.
For example, when they were in college, there was a flu spreading across the campus. Worried that he might get infected, she prepared a cup of Isatis root tea for him. He declined it without hesitation, and fearing that forcing him to drink it might upset him, she silently poured the cup down the drain.
Ruby knew full well that no one could force him to do something he didn't want to do.
Now, his face showed impatience. If she continued to persuade him to drink the medicine porridge, it might worsen his mood.
Moreover, they already had a disagreement last night...
