“At the time, I thought our brother was just spacing out. But once, I went to his office to look for him, and after knocking for a while with no response, I just walked right in. As I got closer, he quickly closed his laptop. Even though he was fast, I still saw it – our brother was staring at his computer screen, and on it, was a photo of Ruby.”

After Rusell finished talking, the room fell silent.

“Since you guys have shared, let me tell you a story too. When have you ever seen our brother drink too much? I saw it once.” Edward Woods said, slightly furrowing his brow as if trying to recall the exact timing: “It was probably the fifth day after Ruby went to England. Our brother was originally supposed to go out for a business meeting that night, but he didn’t come back until very late. I received a call from the bar manager saying that our brother had drunk too much and asked me to pick him up. I thought the manager was bullshitting our brother has been famous for being able to down liquor like water since he was young. But because the call came from his phone, I went anyway. I even thought our brother might be playing a trick on me.

The bottles were almost drowning him, and there was a lot of broken glass. I couldn’t believe it was our brother. He was completely drunk. With the help of the bar manager, I got him into the car. I tipped the manager, and after he left, I saw our brother’s head tilted. I was worried he might suddenly vomit and choke himself, so I helped him. At that moment, our brother grabbed my hand and called out Ruby’s name.”

Edward Woods paused for a moment: “That night, our brother only spoke those two words, and after three years have passed, I can still clearly remember that tone – so helpless. Can you imagine our brother, who has had everything since childhood, feeling so helpless?”

After Edward Woods finished his story, the table was silent for even longer.

After about five minutes, Howard Coleman picked up his glass and said, “Only

Ruby Gregory could make our brother like this in this world!”

Rusell said, “Anyway, they’re alone in a room now. Something is bound to happen. Tomorrow, we can finally see our brother’s smiling face again. Let’s toast to celebrate.”contemporary romance

All four raised their glasses and clinked them together. Just as they were about to drink, Madeleine suddenly noticed Steve Burton walking out of the elevator.

Madeleine’s hand, holding the glass, paused for a moment, and then she stuttered, “Brother, our brother….”
