Chapter 244 Jealous
Chapter 244 Jealous
Upon hearing this, Ruby raised her eyebrows, deliberately teasing him, and kept her face slack for a
long time without saying a word.
Levi, looking at her like this, his heart hung high, feeling like an ant on a hot pot at this moment,
incomparably tormented.
In his over 20 years of life, he had never had such a time, and it was only when he faced Ruby that he
would be like this.
Seeing his eyes staring intently at her, his expression tense, a smile flashed across Ruby's eyes, and
only after a few moments did she slowly exhale a breath.
"The past is the past, you've explained it, I believe it, it was all a mistake. It wasn't what you wanted in
the first place, what else could I do? Beat you to death? Or hold a grudge for the rest of your life? I am
forgiving you and saying goodbye to the pain of the past, I don't want to wake up from the nightmare
anymore."
When she said the last sentence, her voice lowered slightly and her eyes flashed a darker shade.
Although she could forgive him, the scars of the past could not just dissipate so quickly.
Levi clenched his fist and took her hand carefully.
When he saw that she did not resist, his heart settled down and his face was solemn and firm.
"Ruby, I know that some things cannot be easily passed, but it doesn’t matter, I will stay with you in the
future and will not let you suffer a single bit of aggravation again."
Knowing that he was serious, Ruby nodded gently at his words and said nothing more.
The room fell silent, and after the showdown, the atmosphere between the two seemed to become
more delicate.
Levi's gaze stayed on Ruby in front of him, seemingly unable to look away, and his heart was filled with
emotion.
God was really playing tricks on people, who would have thought that the woman back then would be
her.
Their first acquaintance had been so unpleasant.
And in the past five years, he had gone round and round in circles before finally finding her, but he had
already become her husband.
It was a marriage that was so strange and yet so perfect that, for a while, he didn't know what to say.
But the good thing was, he hadn't missed her. It didn't matter, there was still a long road ahead and
plenty of time, he could take his time to make up for her until he had healed all the wounds in her heart.
Seemingly sensing the signs of his heart, Ruby's eyes flickered slightly, half lifting her eyelids and
looking towards him.
They stared at each other for a moment, and she suddenly smiled.
"So you always thought that the person back then was Amelia and that's why you kept protecting her,
Levi, can I say that you are so stupid?"
How dare you take that kind of shameless woman and identify her as her, and still protect and dote on
her like she was a baby.
Just thinking about it made her feel very unhappy.
Seeing her somewhat unhappy expression, Levi helplessly pulled the corner of his mouth, his face
bitter.
"At that time, I went back to the bar to look for you after I woke up, but I ran into Amelia, she claimed to
be you, and there was no other woman from our country there, so I didn't suspect. All these years,
although I felt something was wrong, I always felt that I didn't have the same feeling in her as I did back
then, but once I thought of what I had done, I didn't pursue the matter, but I was wrong for five years. If
you If you hadn't exposed her, I really wouldn't have thought that she really wasn't the same person."
At these words, Ruby narrowed her eyes slightly, pulled her hand out of his palm and looked at him
with a smirk.
"You didn't have the same feeling back then?" She repeated his words, her trailing voice rising,
indistinguishable from joy or anger.
When Levi heard this, alarm bells went off in his head and he hastened to explain.
"Don't take it the wrong way, I am thinking that she doesn't have any shadow of you back then, I
haven't done anything to her, you know, I have emotional cleanliness."
He was quite ingratiating, Ruby looked at him with a smile, her heart inexplicably still feeling blocked.
"Hell knows if you have an emotional cleanliness." She skimmed her lips, her voice muffled.
"Really, Ruby, believe me." Levi moved closed, holding her hand again, slightly harder, not allowing her
to pull away.
Ruby actually knew that what he said was true, Amelia had said before that he had indeed never
touched her all these years, but she was still upset.
Levi was uneasy at first, but as he watched, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of his mouth
slowly hooked up.
"Ruby, you're not jealous, are you?" He suddenly asked, his voice more than pleasant.
Jealous? Ruby frowned, then rolled her eyes, "You're thinking too much, the word jealous doesn't exist
in my dictionary."
"Is that so?" Levi asked afterwards.
Ruby simply shook off his hand and stood up, "What's wrong with you?"
Fearing that she might get really annoyed, Levi got up and hugged her, soothing her with a soft voice.
"Well it's my fault, I shouldn't have mistaken her for you for so many years, it's my blindness, just for
the sake of my bad eyes, forgive me, okay?"
He knew what she was twisting in her heart and coaxed her willingly.
Ruby leaned on his shoulder, surrounded by the unique scent of his body, listening to his warm words,
and her heart suddenly loosened. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
At this moment, her nose was slightly sour.
She had never cried in front of anyone, even when she was alone, and had never shed a single tear
over this matter.
But now, leaning into his arms, she felt the urge to cry.
Luckily, she had great self-control and quickly settled her mind, forcing that urge back.
"You're not healed yet, sit down." She nudged him and said sullenly.
Levi obediently sat down, and took her by the hand to sit beside him, close by, refusing to let go.
"Why did you leave back then?" The two of them were silent for a moment, and Levi had a doubt in his
heart and asked.
Ruby skimmed her lips, "What? I shouldn’t leave after that kind of thing happened, did you wait for me
to kill you? If not for ......"
If she hadn't been pregnant with Olivia later on, and Olivia had gotten such a strange illness, she
probably wouldn't have wanted to see that man again for the rest of her life, and even if she had found
him, she would have just thrown him to Dottie to deal with.
She pursed her lips, then brought up the main matter, "You were poisoned then, what happened after
that?"
Speaking of that time, Levi's face sank as he said in a deep voice, "Afterwards I was unconscious, you
should have already left, my people came over and rescued me. I had thought that the poison in my
body could not be cured for a while, but I didn't expect that once I woke up, the poison in my body had
already subsided." lightnoveldaily.com
