Chapter 35 The Delicate Little White Lotus
Amelia pinched her bloodless fingertips, looking down at the phone screen until the screen light went out, the phone was always unanswered.
She bit her lower lip lightly, her pretty lip shape was slightly distorted by the bite, and her cold face looked very fragile.
For the first time, Levi didn’t answer her calls.
Because of the woman Alfred said?
Who is she?
Amelia’s mind was a little irritated, and for the first time she felt that things were out of her control.
Five years, why it had a problem now?
She was in an irritable mood, and called again.
This time the phone was picked up, the man’s low, cold, dry voice came through the phone, softened by the current tone, sounding indescribably low and gentle, making Amelia’s heart beat faster.
With some aggravation and resentment, she muttered in a small voice, “Why didn’t you answer my call?”
Levi looked at Ruby who had already fallen asleep, his cold expression was softened by the dim light, and his eyes were not as cold and sharp as they always were, but had more tenderness.
Listening to Amelia’s clearly whining words, he tugged at the corners of his mouth before replying softly, “I was occupied, what’s wrong? Who upset you?”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
It was his usual tone of voice, and Amelia felt steadied, without the panic and unease she had felt before.
“I always feel uneasy in my heart when I don’t find you. Levi, we …”
Amelia wanted to ask Levi when exactly he would marry her.
It had been five years, and he hadn’t had intention, always making Amelia unable to figure out what he really thought in his heart.
“Good girl, now not, when the time comes, I will naturally bring you back.” All of Levi’s patience was used on Amelia.
Since he had slept with her five years ago, he had to be responsible for her.
After all, his mother’s vocal teachings before she died were still ringing in his ears.
Ralph can be a scumbag and irresponsible, but he can’t.
“But I’m afraid, you’re so good and so dazzling, surrounded by so many girls. I have nothing but you, if you don’t want me, what am I going to do?”
Amelia’s voice was with worry.
Levi looked aghast before slowly exhaling a breath, “There won’t be anyone else, just you.”
That was the promise he made to Amelia.
“I haven’t seen you in a long time, can you take the time to meet me? I can’t even meet my boyfriend. I don’t know how I’m going to answer when people ask me.” With this promise from Levi, a smug smile surfaced on her face, and she squeezed her phone again, petulantly pampering herself with Levi.
“The day after tomorrow, not lately.” Only after Levi had appeased Amelia did he hang up the phone.
Once he turned around, he saw that Ruby, who was originally sleeping against the back of the chair, had woken up, and at that moment, those dark eyes were looking at himself sullenly.
Levi raised his eyebrows and looked at Ruby, “Do you have the habit of eavesdropping?”
“Eavesdropping?” Ruby raised her eyebrows, with a smile on the corner of her lips.
Levi didn’t avoid her but spoke so openly in front of her, so she was forced to listen to the conversation.
“Mr. Fiancé, correction, I don’t really want to hear you talk, you’re the one who has to be here, and I haven’t minded you making noise for my rest.”
“You have a hot temper.” Levi snickered and looked at Ruby’s delicate side face.
The girl’s face was pale, apparently overexerted, and she looked a little weak, and at that moment her eyebrows were collected with a coldness that seemed to be very impatient.
“Drop me off downtown, I have something to do.” Ruby yawned, with little desire to chat.
Performing an operation on Regan just now was not a light exertion, and not she was tired at this moment.
Her temper became bad when she was tired, especially when she was woken up while sleeping, at this time, there was a dryness between her eyebrows, if it wasn’t bad to make a move, it was estimated that she would have to lay her hand on Levi.
She closed her eyes after finishing a sentence, with a very tired look, and the words that came to his lips were finally withdrawn, not bothering her.
The car drove slowly, the mountain road was flat, but there were quite a few curves, and the driver drove the car very steadily for fear of waking the girl in the back seat who had her eyes closed.
Half way through Alfred’s call came, his excited voice could barely be concealed and could be heard clearly through the phone, “Chief, Chief, Regan is awake! He’s really awake! Austin said that his injuries are no longer serious, as long as he rests well, he will be able to get out of bed in ten days or a half months! Chief, who is that lady? How come she’s so good at healing? Ask her if she wants to join us in District 7, she’s better than even Austin’s medical skills, maybe even better than Austin’s teacher!”
Alfred’s attitude now had a huge shift from earlier.
If he had known that Ruby’s medical skills were so powerful, he would have worshiped her.
Levi glanced at the girl who was sleeping on the side, it seemed that she had been disturbed by the sound, she frowned impatiently and looked like she was about to wake up.
Without hesitation, Levi hung up Alfred’s call, and muted the phone.
Ruby didn’t sleep soundly, she was already awake when Alfred’s call came.
It was quiet inside the carriage, Levi didn’t bother Ruby, and Ruby didn’t bother to open her eyes, until the car drove into the city center, Ruby opened her eyes, and her clear voice rang out faintly inside the carriage, “Stop right here.”
Levi glanced at her, did not refuse. The driver found a spot to park, Ruby pull open the car door and get out.
“I’m not going back to the Finn’s recently, but I’ll be back before the wedding.” Ruby pulled the straps of her backpack after getting off the car. She did not turn around to look at Levi but walked quickly into the crowd.
She had a lot of things going on back home, and in addition to the Institute, there was a lot of things to take care of on the company, and she was very busy.
Levi looked at the direction Ruby left for a while, the corners of his lips hooked, and only after a long time did he speak faintly, “Drive.”
“Mr. Levi, where to?” The driver asked cautiously.
“Go home.”

After getting out of the car, Ruby finally entered a cafe.
Inside the quiet compartment, a woman with delicate eyebrows and a competent look handed over a document, then reported the situation in a stereotypical manner, “The company has been registered according to your request, the equipment has all arrived at the moment and is ready for production, but the technician has not been found for the moment. Miss Harold, there are many companies doing medicinal cosmetics in H Country, we don’t have any advantages, so starting from zero , our situation will be very passive, you’d better reconsider.”
“No, the technician will be at the factory in three days, you’ll be in charge of reception. I’ll send the recipe to your email later, and you go ahead and register the patent. You don’t need to take care of the rest, just leave it to me.” Ruby picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, the corners of her lips curled into a wan smile.
Seeing that Ruby did not listen to her advice, the woman had to give up and did not say anything more.
