NovelEnglishRuby furrowed her brows and asked, "Why are you not asleep yet? It's almost one. Do you always stay up late?" Then, she walked over to the desk.
Hayden hesitated for two seconds, debating on whether he should power off his laptop or not. In the end, he decided not to.
Ruby had not even graduated college. After she had married Elliot, she had decided to simply drop out of college and stay home.
Also, Ruby majored in philosophy. She did not have the expertise to understand the lines of code on the computer screen.
"Who got you to come?" Hayden asked Ruby.
"I... I had a nightmare just now. | dreamed that you were taken away by my brother," said Ruby, lying. "So | came over to check on you." "So, are you hoping that | was taken away by your brother or the other way around?" Hayden asked. "If your brother takes me away, Elliot will become the Goulds' puppet, and he will do whatever you ask of him." Ruby was speechless. She never thought that Hayden would say such a thing.

"Although I hate him, he still cares about me, his son," Hayden continued, "Do you want to call your brother?" Ruby was a little tempted! However, she thought about the consequences and grew afraid.
"Hayden, | know that you don't like me. You have preconceived notions of me, but | am not on my brother's side," Ruby explained patiently. "I'm with your father..." She could not finish the sentence. She was too embarrassed to do so.
After all, she was Hayden's stepmother.
"If I were to tell you that I'm going to kill your brother, are you still going to hide me? " said Hayden, deliberately trying to provoke a reaction. He wanted to see where Ruby's line was.
Ruby was stunned by what Hayden said.
The child in front of her wanted to kill her brother...
"Could he do it?" she thought.
Just when Ruby was about to ask her question, Hayden said, "Didn't your brother tell you about the death threats he received recently?" "The death countdown!" she thought.
Ruby looked at Hayden before looking at the laptop in front of him. "Hayden is the mysterious hacker who hacked into my brother's phone?" she thought.
Ruby trembled, not knowing what to do. The door swung open.
Elliot walked in.
Jay den looked at his face? immediately closed his laptop. He walked over to his bed and pulled the covers over his face.

It was one in the morning, and they were both not asleep. Instead, they had come to check on him. How interesting.
Elliot looked at Hayden, who was lying down, and he immediately pulled Ruby out of the room.
"Elliot, I had a nightmare, so | came to see him..." Ruby explained.
Elliot closed the door of the guest bedroom. He asked, "Did he tell you everything?" "He said he wants to kill my brother." Ruby looked nervous. "Elliot, will he really do it?" "Don't worry, | won't let him out the door," Elliot promised her.
Ruby let out a sigh of relief. "That's great." Elliot patted her on the shoulders. "Go to bed! I'll go in and talk to him." After Ruby left, Elliot opened the door to the guest bedroom and entered.
Hayden was hugging his covers, looking at him with his huge black eyes. His eyes were filled with hostility.
"| didn't betray your mother." Elliot walked over to the bed and sat down.
