Chapter 883 -883 Ruby Time: After the Wedding (Ending 9)_1
Alfred Smith: “Dad will kiss Sue… And does Pippin want to speak to Dad? Alright, then Sue, can you pass the phone to Pippin? You’re so good…”
Steve Burton: “Candice, give Daddy a kiss, then can you pass the phone to Chise? Yeah, Candice is such a good girl. Daddy will give Candice a kiss too…”
Alfred Smith and Steve Burton both had one thing in common: they doted on their daughters far more than on their sons. Hence, when they picked up their sons’ calls, their tone became somewhat serious in an instant, earnestly inquiring how well their sons had done their arithmetic homework that they brought to school, before seriously clearing their throats and beginning to instruct their sons to take good care of their sisters.

With only two children, Alfred Smith was the first to hang up, while Steve Burton, sitting opposite him, continued talking into the phone: “Candice wants to take the call too? Okay, fine… Candice, Dad hasn’t had lunch yet…”
Talking continuously with three children, holding up the phone with one arm was indeed tiring. Steve Burton couldn’t help but switch arms, continuing with, “Really? Candice left an apple for Daddy?”
After about five minutes, Alfred Smith saw that Steve Burton still showed no sign of ending the call, and couldn’t help frowning slightly, coughing softly.
Steve Burton, as if he hadn’t heard, kept talking to Candice on the phone: “There are two questions you don’t know how to do? Chise doesn’t know either? That’s okay, Daddy will teach you at home.”
Alfred Smith’s forehead furrowed a bit, and he couldn’t help coughing again.
After hearing Alfred Smith’s coughs several times, Steve Burton couldn’t help but lift his eyelids to glance at the man in front of him then suddenly remembered that there was one thing he hadn’t yet challenged Steve Burton on, so he waited smilingly until Candice had finished talking on the other end of the phone before saying, “Candice, Daddy has something to take care of, so I’ll hang up first. Remember to take good care of Candice, okay, goodbye.”
Seeing that Steve Burton finally hung up, Alfred Smith was about to heave a sigh of relief, but the next second, Steve Burton elegantly tucked the phone into his pocket, looking at Alfred Smith with obvious pride and satisfaction, yet speaking with such disdain, “Can’t help it, having triplets is such a hassle. I really envy you for having twins.”
Instantly, the breath Alfred Smith had not yet fully let out got stuck in his throat.

There’s a phrase “only those who endure can understand,” which is why in this world, many things that seem happy may not truly be so.
When Ruby Gregory married Steve Burton, whether it was the proposal or the wedding, everything was so romantic and extravagant, provoking the envy and jealousy of countless people. At the same time, it also led to private remarks from many who said that no matter how grand Ruby Gregory’s marriage seemed, she was just relying on having three children, and if she can’t keep her husband’s favor and gets relegated to a neglected position, that would be truly tragic!
In fact, there were indeed many people who wanted to see Ruby Gregory’s misfortune. Yet, as time flew by, more than three years passed in a blink, the children grew from newborns to attending kindergarten, and Ruby Gregory still lived a life full of glory, truly happy after her marriage.
Nevertheless, the happy Ruby Gregory also had her sweet troubles.
The reason they were considered “sweet” was because Ruby’s troubles were merely “bedchamber issues.”
Before their marriage, in order to marry Steve Burton, she thought about getting into his bed, to bear his child.
But after their marriage, she was always trying to figure out how to make Steve Burton leave her alone for just one night.
