As her words fell, Levi cured his lips and said gently.
"I'm not being shameless, I am telling the truth. What I just said is from my heart, Ruby, do you not believe me?"
Ruby was stunned for a moment, her cheeks slightly flushed, she has always been eloquent, but now she actually did not know what to say.
Her eyes darted around, and she soon settled down, skimmed the corners of her mouth, and went up and poured him a glass of water.
"Just now you and grandma echoed each other, don't think I don't know what you are thinking."
Levi took the water she handed over, staring at her face.
"Oh? So you know what I'm thinking? Then tell me."
The playfulness and teasing in his eyes were too obvious, and Ruby realized that she had actually fallen into his trap.
At that moment, she pursed the corners of her lips, her face strange, pretending to give him a blank glance.
"What are you talking about! You just woke up and you're pretending to be in pain and talked nonsense, I think you've your brain ruined in surgery, stay by yourself, I'll go over and check on Olivia."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.
But Levi suddenly grabbed her wrist and directly dragged her into his arms.
The glass of water in his hand had not yet been put down, and the water inside shifted and nearly spilled.
Ruby fell into his chest at once, looking at the glass of water, a moment of dizziness in her eyes, and her heartbeat accelerated even more.
"Hey! What are you doing ......" she subconsciously wanted to exit his embrace.
But Levi refused to let go, but scrupulous about the force, did not hurt her, just circle her, lowered his eyes and stared at her slightly red cheeks.
She rarely looked like this, so he could not help but look lost.
Ruby struggled, but failed, seeing that he was silent, she raised his eyes and met his eyes.
At that moment, their eyes met in mid-air, and for some reason, she just couldn't help but feel a light shiver run through her body.
"You ......" opened her mouth, she barely stabilized the strange emotions in her heart and pretended to be speechless, "What are you looking at!"
The next second, Levi smoothly took over the conversation, his voice more gentle than ever.
"You are good-looking, I like you."
Ruby: "......"
She was instantly stunned by his sudden love talk, and before she could react, she noticed the man's breath spraying on her ear.
Her ears tickled, like a feather brush, and she subconsciously had to duck back.
But Levi did not allow her to leave, his lips on her ears, his voice low and husky.
"I'm jealous, so you have to make it up to me."
He finally admitted that he was jealous. Ruby opened her eyes wife when she heard that.
"You ......"
She opened her mouth and inclined her head to try to look at him.
But the words were not yet spoken, her lips were trapped by Levi, tossing and sucking, and all the words were blocked back.
Hearing this, Eason was puzzled, "BOSS, the Sutton family had begged Miss Harold before, only to be kicked out by Miss Harold, and, the Sutton family now wants to use Miss Harold and marry her to a rich family to revive the Sutton Family's former position, you ......"
The BOSS's pursuit of Ruby was known to him.
How could BOSS allow others to get Ruby?
Even if he didn't finish his sentence, Benjamin understood what he was thinking, and immediately gave contemptuous laugh.
"Don't worry, I have the measure, just do as you are told."
Since the BOSS has said so, Eason could only take the order.
When Eason went out, Benjamin was still standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes coldly looking askance at the scenery outside the window.
Of course he knew what the Sutton Family was playing for, but how would he give Ruby away?
He just wanted to use the Sutton Family to stir up the relationship between Ruby and Levi.
When the time came, he could reap the benefits.
The next day, Ruby was feeding Olivia when Old Lady Sutton barged in in a panic.
"Ruby! You must save the Sutton Family! The only one the Sutton Family can rely on now is you!"
As soon as she saw Ruby, she couldn't wait to get straight to the point.
During this time, the Sutton Family had been suppressed and humiliated, and she was no longer as flashy as the last time they met, her back was hunched and her steps were hobbled.
But once she saw Ruby, her eyes still were bright, like she saw a big fat sheep, her eyes were full of greed.
