"I headed out as soon as you called me." Ruby readjusted herself and stepped into the room with the thermal lunch box. "Dad,
I''vee to see you."
Gary hummed in response. He looked awkward. He wondered if she had heard anything he had said.
"Didn''t you say that you areing with Elliot? Why isn''t he here?" Gary was slightly upset when he saw that she hade
alone.
"He had a bit too much to drinkst night, and he came down with a fever. He wanted to visit you, but | didn''t want you to catch
his fever, so | told him to stay at home and rest," Ruby exined as she opened the lunchbox. "I prepared your favorite
mushroom soup today. Let me pour it into a bowl for you."
"| ate too much for breakfast, so | can''t really stomach the soup right now," Gary said.
Disappointment filled Ruby''s face as she closed the lid. Seeing that she was disappointed, he immediately said, "Let me drink
just a bit, then!"
Ruby''s heart began to race, and color filled her cheeks. Her fingers on the lid trembled.
The nanny tried to take the lunchbox to pour Paul a bowl as well.
"NO! Ruby shoved the nanny''s hand away." This is Dad''s lunchbox. It''s not for Paul. How is Dad supposed to drink if you give it
to Paul? | brought exactly one bowl and one spoon!"
Paul felt incredibly awkward and so did the nanny. "Miss, it''s fine if Paul has some. We can just—" "No! He is not getting any! |
brought this for Dad!" Ruby tried her best to steady her emotions. "I brought this specifically for my dad, so he''s the only one who
gets to have it."
Seeing that she was getting frustrated, Paul immediately interfered and said, "I won''t have any, Ruby. Don''t get angry.”
"If you wanted soup, why didn’t you say so? | could have brought two lunchboxes."
"Yeah, it''s fine. I''m not hungry. It''s just that when Father said he was not having any, you seemed a little..." Paul did not continue.
"Paul, just look at you! All Ruby did was throw a little tantrum, and you are trembling with fear! You should learn from Elliot >d!
Paul lowered his head. "You''re right, Father.
"Ruby, did you hear what | said just now?" Gary looked his daughter up and down. "I did say a few things that you might find a
little hard to ept, but you shouldn''t get angry. If you are indeed capable, what you need to do is prove yourself and not take
your anger and frustration out on us."
"What did you say, Dad? Were you saying something bad behind my back?" Ruby looked at him curiously.
Gary instantly flushed. "It''s fine if you didn''t hear me! Pour me some of that soup. Let me try it."
"Oh, okay. Do you want some pork ribs, too? The pork ribs | bought today taste great."
"It''s fine. Don''t pour me too much soup. I''m not hungry, " Gary said coldly.
Ruby poured him a small bowl! of
soup and said, ‘Dad letme feed!

Ruby''s lips curled into a smile. "I knew you care for me most."
With that, she took a spoonful of the soup and fed it to Gary.
Gary drank it and said, "It''s a bit too salty."This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .
