Chapter 387 Going to the Capital
“So ……,” Ruby murmured, and asked, “And do you remember where it is now?”
Levi smiled, “Of course I remember, my memory isn’t that bad.”
“That’s good.” Ruby also smiled, “Originally I was thinking of asking Josie to find out where the Grant family’s ancestral shrine was, but now that I have you, it’s much less troublesome.”
As the car drove smoothly along the main road, the smile on Levi’s face deepened: “Well, you can always rely on me, I’m happy to.”
Ruby blinked, her cheeks slightly flushed as she gave him a sidelong glance.
This little mumble did not escape the ears of Levi, but he did not mind a bit when he heard it, but felt more cheerful.
At this time, Ruby’s mobile phone rang and it was a video call from Olivia.
“Mum!” As soon as she was connected, Olivia’s cute, soft little face appeared on the screen, looking as if she was happy and smiling sweetly.
Ruby’s heart seemed to be unconsciously indulging in this soft call, and her delicate brows involuntarily became soft.
“Olivia, aren’t you home?” She asked, her voice dripping with unconscious tenderness.
To the side, Levi heard it and glanced towards her, seeing in her bright side face the maternal glow she unconsciously exuded, the corners of her thin lips curled up.
“Uh-huh.” The little girl seemed excited and nodded, “Master brought me to the playground because I was bored at home!”Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
At these words, Ruby’s eyes curved, “Then you should thank your master, is the playground fun?”
The little girl’s eyes lit up like stars, and that expression was as if she had discovered some new land.
“Yes! It is so much fun! Mum, it is my first time here and I found lots and lots of fun, some of it looked a bit retarded but it was still fun to play and the master bought me a doll and a hairpin, see, there was lots of good food! I even got to eat a little ice cream!”
Ruby looked at her bunny ears hairpin waving in front of the camera and couldn’t help but laugh out loud, her heart soften.
She didn’t think about anything, the thought came up in her mind and said, “Then you have a good time with your master today, and when I go back, we’ll take you to another playground, and the oceanarium, and the zoo ……”
She couldn’t tell you how much it hurt her to think that this little girl hadn’t been to any of these places that children often go to since she was born.
Although she would have had such feeling before, she was never able to express it because of the knot in her heart, always deliberately distancing Olivia and pretending not to care.
But now that she was close, she realized that she cared, more than Olivia did.
She was the one who was not doing a good job as a mother.
As she thought this, a strong look of pity spread across her eyes, and her fingers caressed Olivia’s face across the screen.
“Any place that you haven’t been before, I will take you there.”
As he listened, Levi was about to add “and daddy”, but he heard the little girl on the other side of the screen cheer gleefully.
“Really? Really? Mum, you have to keep your word! And Daddy, we’ll go together as a family then!”
When she finished, she asked impatiently, “Where’s Daddy? How come I haven’t seen Daddy!”
Levi opened his mouth and smiled, his heart full of warmth.
The little girl, indeed, was a good daughter to him.
Ruby turned the phone screen in the direction of Levi as she said, “Daddy is driving now and can’t be distracted from video chatting with you, so when we get back, you can talk to Daddy about fun things, okay?”
Levi took the time to glance sideways at the little girl with a red face playing on the screen, a smile piled up in his eyes
“Yes, I am driving, Olivia, when I go back, I will keep you company.”
On the screen, the little girl’s eyes lit up even more when she saw Levi.
“Yes!” She nodded good-naturedly and then said softly, “Daddy, I miss you, you have to bring mommy back safely, I’ll be waiting for you at home!”
The soft words struck a chord in the hearts of both adults at once.
His low voice was mixed with deep warmth and doting.
“Okay, I will bring mummy home safely and you wait for us at home.”
“Uh-huh! I will definitely do it!”
After that, Ruby asked Olivia to give the phone to Evans, and soon, Evans’ handsome face appeared in the screen.
“Evans, thank you for taking care of Olivia these days.” Ruby was the first to speak, her tone light, but full of thanks.
Evans said, “What are you talking about? Olivia is my disciple, it’s only natural for me to take care of my disciple. Don’t worry, she is fine and has regular check. The doctor said she is recovering well and can eat a varied diet, and she can eat small amounts of snacks and so on.”
Ruby nodded, not the least bit unsure of him, “In two days, we should be back, and Olivia will be in your hands for a few more days.”
Evans answered, “No problem, where are you guys now? Are you still in Z Country?”
Ruby: “Yeah, but we are leaving.”
“Fly back today?” Evans thought for a moment, “Then you can arrive in Sea City tomorrow? I’ll go pick you guys up.”
But Ruby refused: “No, we can’t go back to Sea City tomorrow.”
Evans was stunned, “Not going back to Sea City? Then where are you going?”
He was purely curious and Ruby didn’t hide it. A brilliant glint flashed in his eyes and he said bluntly, “To the capital.”
……
Meanwhile, the mercenaries brought the box to Benjamin.
In the living room of the villa, looking at the exquisite wooden box placed in front of him, Benjamin had a smug look on his face.
Even though Ruby and Levi were very powerful and capable, they were still inaccurate. Was he able to exploit the loophole?
He had said long ago that what Ruby had in his hands would definitely be his.
As for Ruby …… he would also have her in his palm sooner or later!
“You have all been rewarded for a job well done.” He looked askance at a few people and ordered in a faint voice, “Get out.”
The men looked at each other and honestly did as they were told.
In the large living room, Benjamin was the only one left.
He picked up the wooden box, first touching the surface of it with his fingertips, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
“Heh, the material and workmanship of this wooden box are worth a lot of money, so it seems that what is contained inside must be extraordinary.”
He did not know that it contained the relics of Ruby’s grandfather, but thought it was her grandmother’s and was still delighted.
