Ruby Gregory had often been willful in front of Steve Burton even before he confessed his feelings to her while under the influence of alcohol. However, every time she pushed the boundaries, Steve not only showed no anger, but patiently tolerated her behavior. This only made her bolder, and after giving birth to the triplets and breaking through all the distance between her and Steve, she became even more audacious.
As a child, whenever Ruby got into trouble, she went to Steve to help her out. When she threw away Steve's residence registration booklet on a whim during their visit to the Civil Affairs Bureau, Steve had to come up with an explanation for both the Gregorys and the Burtons. As Steve's car was approaching the West Suburb Villa, Ruby turned her head and blinked her eyes, looking pitifully at Steve, "Steve, what should we do about the residence registration booklet?"
