She really wanted to clarify to Steve that she hadn't been living with Edric, but she was afraid that if she told Steve, he might doubt the child in her belly.
Recently, her interactions with Steve had been pleasant, making her happy, yet she was uncertain about his attitude at this moment. Hesitating for a bit, Ruby murmured, "He isn't home. There's something going on at the company, so he's working overtime."
At the other end of the phone, Steve fell silent for a moment. After a long while, his voice came through soft and deep, "That's good to know."
Without lingering on the subject, Steve changed the topic, "I saw on your Twitter that you won something?"
Although she had won the prize yesterday, Ruby still felt excited when mentioning it again, "Yes, I had a burst of good luck, my first ever win in my life!"
Even though Ruby knew that Steve had already seen her prize on Twitter, she still bragged, "It's a really beautiful baby stroller!"
