Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Ruby rested her hand on the window for a moment before slowly pushing it open.

The kitten was docile. It jumped in and curled up in the corner of the windowsill. It was curious but remained still, simply looking around.

Ruby closed the window and picked up the little creature. She turned to Sullivan and said, "Sullivan, it's getting late. I'll come back to see you tomorrow. What do you want to eat then?"

Despite all his efforts to get Ruby to notice him-his injuries sustained while helping her-she remained distant. Yet here she was, so kind to a creature she had just met. "Yes, I feel a connection with this kitten," she replied.

Sullivan said, "What about me? Ruby, you must have noticed how I feel about you these days="

"If you need anything from me in the future, I'll be happy to help. But feelings can't be controlled. I can't force myself to accept your feelings just because I'm thankful." A dark look passed over Sullivan's eyes, and he almost knocked the soup off the table in frustration.
