Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Birthday Invitation (6)

Translator: 549690339

Once again, the topic was brought up, and Ruby Gregory felt somewhat numb to it. Her face still held a faint, calm smile as she did not respond.

Wenny Burton seemed to realize that she had brought up something she shouldn’t have. She gave an awkward smile and apologized, “Ruby, why did I bring that up…”

“Wenny…” Ruby interrupted her as if nothing had happened, “Have you been painting all these years?”

Ruby had learned many things since she was young, with painting being her strongest skill. Wenny later became fascinated with painting, but due to her limited talent, her paintings always lacked a certain touch. So, she would always ask Ruby for help with modifications.

Wenny knew Ruby was trying to change the subject and immediately followed along, “I still paint occasionally, but after you left, all my paintings became half-finished.

This was precisely what Ruby was waiting for her to say, “Coincidentally, I’m free today, so if you’re not busy, Wenny, why don’t you bring out those paintings? I’ll help you finish them.”

“Sure.” Wenny was delighted at Ruby’s offer and quickly stood up. She led Ruby upstairs to her painting studio.

This time, Ruby’s visit seemed to be about delivering vegetables to the Burtons.

In reality, she came because Steve Burton once mentioned in his office that Wenny was in charge of his birthday party, so she figured the invitations must be sent out by Wenny. Hence, her purpose was to get the invitation to Steve’s birthday party from Wenny.

During the three years in Costa Luna, Ruby had not wasted her skills. Her painting technique became even better than before, and she put extra care into Wenny’s half-finished works. After her modifications, the paintings were worlds apart from their original state.

Wenny was genuinely excited and couldn’t stop praising Ruby, “Ruby, you’re truly amazing! These paintings are absolutely gorgeous after you’ve touched them up!”

Ruby felt inner joy at those compliments and became even more focused while refining the paintings for Wenny. “Wenny, if you ever need help, feel free to ask me.”

Wenny immediately nodded without hesitation and laughed, “Sure, as long as it doesn’t bother you.”

“Not at all.” Ruby seemingly casually looked at Wenny, who was admiring the finished painting in her hands. She sensed that her chance had arrived, so she paused for a moment before turning to Wenny and asking, “Wenny, isn’t Steve’s birthday coming up in a few days?”

Steve didn’t leave the Burton residence. It was just that his eldest cousin got drunk last night and had someone send him home. The next day, when he went out, he borrowed Steve’s car.

Steve had slept late last night, and since it was a weekend, he didn’t get up until noon.

After freshening up and putting on a casual outfit, he went downstairs, just in time to see a servant setting the silverware on the dining table.

“Mr. Steve.”contemporary romance

“Hmm.” Steve grunted, pulled out a chair, and sat down.. He noticed that there were three sets of silverware on the table, then said, “Isn’t it just my sister and me at home today?”
