Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 898

Ruby shook her head. "No need. I live close to the company and the main road, so there are still plenty of people around at this hour. I'll be fine."

Nyla didn't insist, nodding. "Alright, message me when you get home."

"Will do," Ruby replied.

Sullivan had heard this rejection so many times that he didn't take offense. "Ruby, why not give us a chance? If, in the end, you can't develop feelings for me, I'll let you go."
