Chapter 847 My Grandson is Missing

Ruby looked up and met Donovan's probing gaze. She tilted her head to avoid his eyes, "No, I slept well."

Donovan walked up to her, lifted her chin, and scrutinized her face, "Have you been crying?"

Ruby raised her chin slightly, trying to free herself from Donovan's grip, but he didn't let her go, holding her jaw firmly.

Ruby's vulnerability and grievance magnified in that instant. She glared at him angrily, "Isn't it your greatest wish to see me cry? Well, you must be thrilled now that I'm in tears, right?"

Donovan frowned, "Why are you angry at me?"

"How could I be angry at you?" Ruby choked, "We both know that I've wronged you these past few years. You can do whatever you want. How could I possibly lose my temper with you?"

As she spoke, her tears fell uncontrollably. She wiped them away roughly, not wanting him to see her in such a pathetic state.

Donovan's lips pressed into a thin line. He pinched her jaw, turning her face back to him. Seeing her cry so pitifully, he suddenly lowered his head and licked the tears hanging on her eyelashes.

The tears were salty and somewhat bitter.

Ruby was almost stunned. She stared blankly at Donovan, not expecting him to do that.

Donovan was also shocked by his own actions. He cleared his throat, released her, and walked towards the sofa, "I heard your parents caused a scene at your house this morning?"

Ruby wasn't surprised that Donovan knew. Ever since he reappeared in her life, he had been very mysterious.

She didn't know what he was doing, where his money came from, and those people coming and going respectfully called him boss and obeyed his every command.

He seemed to know everything, as if he had everything under control.
