Chapter 697


    After leaving the theater, Ruby''s mind was filled with that kiss. The sound lingered in her ears, and whenever she thought of it,


    her face would turn red.


    Jasper saw that the woman had her head lowered and was thinking about something. As she did not even see the pir in front


    of her and almost bumped into it, he reached out and pulled her back into his arms. "What are you thinking about?"


    When Ruby came back to her senses, she realized that they were already outside and there was a pir in front of them. "No, I''m


    just thinking about the plots of that movie. | think it''s quite touching."


    "So touching that you want to bump a pir?"


    "I''m deep in thoughts." Then, she hugged him coquettishly. "But I''m not afraid. Don''t | still have you?"


    He tapped her forehead lovingly and led her out. "Are you going back to the hotel or going somewhere for fun?"


    Ruby raised her hand to look at her watch and realized that it was already 10 at night. It would be toote to go somewhere else


    to y. "Let''s go back to the hotel. We have a trip to Hailnd tomorrow."


    "Yeah, sure."


    The next day, Jasper and Ruby rushed to Hailnd to participate in the women''s clothing designpetition.


    After thepetition ended, Ruby did not win an award. It was within her expectations. After all, it was not her area of expertise.


    She mainly wanted to gain a clear picture of this field.


    Jasper did not want to push her. He told her that he had already hired many famous designers and that there was no need for


    her to work so hard. He did not want to see her exhaust her energy.


    He wanted to give her a finished product, and she wanted to experience the process ofpleting a half-finished product into a


    finished product together with him.


    When they were in Hailnd, Jasper brought Ruby to many ces, mountains, theme parks, etc. Thest stop was a church at


    the boundary of Athana.


    They went back to Athana after visiting all the fun ces in Hailnd.


    The two of them were holding hands on the steps. Jasper held her waist with his other hand. "Are you tired? You can take a


    break."N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    Ruby panted and shook her head. There was a tenacity hidden under her gentleness. "Let''s go."


    The assistant Winnie had already returned. But the four bodyguards were still there behind them.


    Twenty minutester, the couple climbed to the top of the mountain. The air was fresh and the birds chirped in lush woods. The


    church was surrounded by nature and away from the hustle and bustle of the city.


    Jasper, who had never believed in religion and only believed in himself, was now asking for something with his hands sped


    together. Ruby also put her hands together and closed her eyes, muttering her request softly.


    A few secondster, Jasper stood up and quietly walked to her. He saw that she was still whispering something as if she had


    endless things to ask for. Her expression was extremely serious, but she frowned.


    An hourter, the two of them walked out of the church. Jasper asked, "What did you pray for?"


    plicated emotion shed across Ruby''s eyes. She begged a lot. "A lot."


    Jasper was very observant. He happened to catch the emotion in her eyes. Although it was very fast, he still saw it.


    Going down the mountain was much easier than going up. He could already feel the change in her emotions as she went up and


    down the mountain, even though she was always smiling.


    After leaving the mountain, he sent Ruby to the studio. On this business trip, Ruby bought gifts for all the elders in the family. The


    most gifts she bought were for Hackett.


    Because of the guilt in her heart, every time she cared about her father, she wanted to tell him about her rtionship with Jasper.


    However, she was afraid that her father would not agree. Her father had said more than once that he would not ept a rich


    boy. He repeatedly said that he wanted a self-made sessful man whose wealth all came from his efforts, not his family.


    She stood at the door and watched as Jasper drove away. Her thoughts gradually drifted away. As she thought about it, she was


    stunned. Winnie was a little suspicious as to why she did not enter. She held her suitcase and stood at the door.


    “Ruby, why didn''t youe in?"


    Ruby did not move. Her eyes were a little dull. She did not know what she was looking at. She did not seem to be able to stay


    together with Mr. Right and satisfy her father at the same time. "Winnie, if you do something wrong, how will you make up for it


    and make things perfect?"


    Winnie did not understand what she meant. "Huh? Ruby, did you do something wrong?"


    "Yeah."


    Winnie thought for a moment. "Then admit your mistake. If it''s not against thew, you can be forgiven. You didn''t break thew,


    right?"


    Ruby turned around andughed. "No, I''m going home first. Remember to lock the doorter."


    “Ruby, why did you delete the recruitment information on our website? Are we not hiring people anymore?"


    "Yes, there''s no need. I''ll get going first."


    As she spoke, Ruby called Hackett. The call was quickly picked up. "Dad."


    Hackett was very happy to receive a call from his daughter. His voice was filled with joy. "Ruby, what time is your flight


    tomorrow? Daddy will pick you up.”


    Ruby didn''t answer. She wanted to surprise her father first because there might be a shockter. "Dad, I''m already at Athana. I''ll


    look for you now. Are you busy now?"


    He could not be busy when his daughter came to look for him, but he was indeed not busy this time. "I''m not busy. Do you want


    toe over yourself or do you want Daddy to pick you up?"


    "I''lle to you myself."


    “Alright, be careful."


    "Yeah."


    After the call with her father, she suddenly became more certain of her praying about the church. She hailed a taxi and told him


    the destination. "The ckwell Group."


    Perhaps this taxi drive was chatty. "Youngdy, are you back from a business trip?"


    Ruby didn''t want to talk with strangers. She was thinking of an opening ler and simply replied, "Yes."


    The driver saw that she didn''t want to talk, so he didn''t say anything else and focused on driving.


    Forty-five minutester, the taxi arrived at the ckwell Group. Hackett was already waiting for his daughter at the entrance.


    Seeing the taxi stop at the door, he saw that it was his daughter sitting behind.


    He quickly opened the door and the trunk to carry her luggage. Ruby looked at her father with aplicated gaze and held her


    father''s wrist as usual. "Daddy."


    “Let''s go. Daddy has already ordered your favorite milkshake and pastries. Why are you back early?"


    The two of them strode towards the private elevator.


    After a short while, they arrived at Hackett''s office. Ruby looked around. She hadn''t been here for a long time and asked,


    "Where''s Grandpa?"


    Hackett helped his daughter open the milkshake and handed it over. "Your grandfather went to drink coffee and y chess with


    his old friends in the afternoon. He spent the first half of the day here. His life isfortable now."


    When she came to the office, Ruby started to feel a little nervous. She lowered her head and took a sip of the milkshake. From


    time to time, she would peek at Hackett. As her father, he had already seen his daughter''s gaze three times. "What''s wrong? Do


    you have something to tell Daddy?"


    "Yeah."


    Hackett''s heart panicked for a second when he saw that his daughter wanted to say something but hesitated. "If you have


    something to say, just say it. I''ll help you fulfill it if | can."


    Ruby adjusted her emotions and took a big sip of the milkshake. "Dad, can you tell me what you want from your future son-in-


    law?"


    Hackett had thought that her daughter would ask this question sooner orter, but he did not expect it to be so early. However,


    somehow it was not unexpected in some way. Based on her daughter''s usual dress and smile, there were already signs that she


    had a boyfriend. "You have someone you like.”


    Ruby nodded heavily and did not lie anymore. She suddenly felt that it was so easy to tell the truth. "Yes, can Daddy tell me?"


    It was a special feeling when he heard his daughter say that she had fallen for someone. Although he had expected it, he was


    still reluctant. "That Wilson guy?"


    Ruby was stunned. She did not expect her father to guess it right. However, she did not nod immediately. Instead, she looked at


    Hackett expectantly, wanting her father to talk about what his future son-inw should be like.


    Hackett said, "Actually, only half of


    Dad''s requirements about your


    husband is true. | don''t want a mM


    second-generation Welt Bacatse’ an

    Upon hearing this, Ruby''s eyes began to warm up. Tears covered her eyes. Hackett did not get up. Instead, he handed a tissue


    to his daughter. This was the first time the father and daughter talked about things like this. The atmosphere was a little sad and


    serious. Ruby took the tissue and wiped her eyes. She nodded.


    "That''s why | hope you will find a


    self-made rich man. That means he


    is indeed a capable man and


    promises a good future for you. It''s


    true that he has to be taller than

    Ruby was amused by her father''s words. She felt less nervous. ording to his father''s request, Jasper seemed to be


    compatible. He just did not know how rich that self-made man should be. "Dad, does he have to be the richest in Athana?"


    Hackett was very happy with his


    daughter''s words today. From her


    words, he could tell that his daughter


    was choosing a son-inw a ding


    to his sta dards oniSmesnt that


    Ruby es ed about his opinion. "No.


    That''s not necessary. It''s Dad who


    wants to give some pressure to the


    boys who want to pursue you. If


    someone works hard and keeps


    climbing for you, it means that this


    boy does like you and does want to


    marry you. It''s also a test. What do


    you think?" Please read the original

    Ruby got it. "Daddy, I''m in a rtionship.”


    What woulde woulde. He had expected it. A few days ago, when he asked Frank to investigate their hotel records, he


    told Frank that his daughter might be in a rtionship. Now that he heard his daughter admit it, he was suddenly not excited,


    perhaps he had guessed too much. "Have you been in a rtionship for a long time? With that brat?"
