Ruby turned around and saw that the visitor was her, her pretty eyes narrowed slightly and she snorted lightly.
"Old Lady Sutton, I don't seem to know you well, I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate for you to call me that."
Slowly, she said, not bothering to look at her again, she turned back to the little girl and continued feeding her.
As soon as Olivia saw Old Lady Sutton, she immediately remembered what she had said last time, and her brow furrowed, her face looked grim.
"Mum, what's she doing here?"
Ruby fed her a mouthful of porridge and said in a light voice, "I don't know, don't pay any attention to her, it's not someone important anyway."
The little girl shrugged her little nose and muttered in a small voice, "Mummy, I don't like her, can you tell her to leave?"
Clearly, she was still holding a grudge and was worried that this old lady had taken her mother away.
Ruby understood her mind and raised her hand to stroke her soft hair.
On the side, Cara was also very unhappy with the arrival of Old Lady Sutton, and simply took a few steps straight forward to stop her.
"What are you doing here! Go, hurry up and leave! We don't welcome you!"
The conversation between Ruby and Olivia just now had been overheard by Old Lady Sutton, who was very unhappy about it.
If it had been the usual case, she would have simply accused Old Lady Sutton.
But at the moment, she had more important things to do, so she had to hold her tongue for the moment, pretending to speak calmly, with a tone of earnestness she had never seen before.
"Cara, look at you, why are you so indifferent to me? We've been old friends for many years. What happened last time was my fault, I'll make amends for you, is that okay?"
First she played the sentimental card, trying to ease relations with Cara, then she called out towards the door.
"Emmanuel, come in!"
At the end of her sentence, a tall man walked in from outside the ward and stood beside Old Lady Sutton.
Seeing the arrival of a stranger, Cara was immediately alert, wrinkling her brows as she sized up the man.
He was handsome, but he had a hangdog, gangly air about him, and she was very unhappy with him.
"You even brought someone with you, you want to make a scene again today?"
When she sneered, Old Lady Sutton felt uncomfortable, so she tugged at the corners of her mouth dryly.
"Cara, what are you talking about? Didn't I tell you that what happened last time was my fault, I was so emotional that I lost my mind, don't worry, I really came here today with sincerity."
With that, she made introductions to the man next to her.
"Come, Cara, Ruby, let me introduce to you, this is Emmanuel, the eldest young master of the Collins family. The Collins family in the capital is a famous big family, Emmanuel's status is not ordinary!"
As she said this, her eyes kept glancing towards Ruby.
But Ruby remained motionless, her back to them, absently feeding Olivia, as if she had not heard.
She didn't say anything, but Cara disliked her directly and unceremoniously.
Old Lady Sutton choked for a moment, her face slightly unpleasant, but she could only hold her tongue and waved her hand with a fake smile.
"Ruby, where are you talking about? I am talking about you two youngsters, you are at a similar age to talk about marriage ......"
As she spoke, she deliberately mentioned the marriage she had mentioned earlier.
Seeing that she was still undeterred, Cara cursed her nonchalantly in return.
"You old thing, do you speak without thinking or just don't have a brain? Or do you not even have the most basic morality? Ruby is already married, don't you think it's embarrassing for you to talk about this now? What do you want to do? To break up her marriage? I think you are really getting more and more shamelessly!"
Being hurled at by her so bluntly, Old Lady Sutton was embarrassed and so was Emmanuel.
However, he didn't care about Ruby's married status.
To him, if he wanted to play with a woman, he didn't care if she had a boyfriend or not, if she was married or not, he could play with her if he wanted to, why did he care so much?
At that moment, he hooked up a smile that he thought was charming.
"Though she is married, it doesn’t mean that she will not get divorced. Miss Harold, it's important to have more contact with men, just in case you find someone more suitable for you. Wouldn't it be a pity if you miss out on him?"
This blatant flirting was so blatant that Ruby could not help but feel very disgusted when she heard it.
Immediately, she smiled coldly, not giving a good face at all.
"Is that so? The scum I've been in contact with are impotent now, do you want to have a try? I wouldn't mind giving you a hand."
At these words, the smile on Han Emmanuel's mouth froze, and his eyes were covered with horror.
