Chapter 936: Chapter 934: UNCERTAINTY
Meanwhile, Ruby was busy entertaining herself in the backseat with her phone in hand.
The bodyguards couldn’t be spoken to. They were intimidating and didn’t dare to start a chat.
So, she was busy chatting with her friends on ChatLine.
[Girl, I saw your short videos uploaded by netizens yesterday. You went to play games with your sister?]
[I saw that too. For a moment, I was tempted to come over but then I thought about your sister’s serious face. Damn, I cowered.]
[Haha, she isn’t that scary.]
[Aren’t you embarrassed by lying. I still remember how your legs were trembling the moment she gave Sean a glare.]
Ruby couldn’t help but chuckle as she remembered that moment as well but as a sis-con, she firmly defended her sister.
[Come on, guys. She a’int scary. She is just too direct and people find that difficult.]
[But ....]
[Would you rather face a sly fox whose words always have another meaning than someone who is open and direct with you?] Ruby threw a tough question in the group and there was a moment of silence before answers started popping.
[I guess being direct is good. At least I won’t have to worry about being back stabbed.]
[I used to have a friend whom I thought really like me. She was always smiling, flattering me and acting in ways that made me feel like our bond was truly there. Until one day, I overheard her talking about me in a disgusted manner. I still remember how hurt I was at learning that she had been faking all along. Even if I wasn’t a good person, as a friend, couldn’t she have pointed those flaws for me, so that I can change?]
[It’s quite pitiful but I guess it made you think a lot and made you into someone better.]
[It did. So nowadays I prefer a sincere person. If I look at it this way, then Diamond isn’t scary at all.]
[If we found her scary, then think about Sean.]
[OMG! I felt really ... Ruby, have you talked with him? He didn’t get mad about that, did he?]
A sigh escaped her lips as she saw her friends bringing up Sean.
These friends of hers knows about Sean’s pursuit of her and at times even jokingly call him brother-in-law.
Although some of her friends do it to fawn over him. After all, he was from one of the top seven families. They knew about him.
[Don’t even get me started.] she begrudgingly complained, thinking about how she didn’t get a single message from the guy since that night.
Of course, she understood that if Waylon had shared the message as it was, then he might have been shaken. But didn’t Waylon get over it?
From what she knew, Waylon wasn’t even Diamond’s official boyfriend yet and yet he was still working hard.
She still remembers how ashen he looked when Diamond was speaking of those conditions. So, what does Sean, who didn’t suffer directly have to complain about?
When her friends saw her message, their fingers were very swift and fast.
[What happened?]
[Don’t tell me that he cowered after a simple glare from her?]
[He can’t be a coward, right?]
[What happened?]
So, Ruby summarized the important points to her friends and the group chat went silent for over a minute before messages started trickling in again.
[Damn! I salute your sister.]
[Haha, I already feel for him.]
[But to be honest, Ruby, I feel envious of you. Having such a sister who is willing to be a villain for your happiness. I wish mine was like yours.]
[Yes, same here. Although, it might sound a bit too much but to be real, she means well.]
[If Sean hasn’t contacted you ever since, then Diamond’s words came at the right time.]
[Yes, if he can be shaken by just words then he isn’t worth it. While we might be pompous because of the family’s riches. At the end of the day, they aren’t ours.]
[If he is man enough and sincerely want you, then he should man up and work hard.]
[I think I found a path. I will never look down on myself. I am also worthy. If I just settle down for the sake of it, then won’t I be diminishing my own value?]
With her friends response, Ruby found herself becoming uncertain of what Sean really wanted from her. However, she wasn’t one to be rash. She was a very patient person. She would wait until he reaches out to her and she would take it from there.
After all, settling for less would truly hurt her only.
[Haha, but for real. Your sis is a soldier. I think I am going to tell this to my sister and let her see the difference between her and others.]
[I am just thinking repeatedly on the live-in son-in-law part. I think that it’s a good idea. Who said that women should only marry into other families?]
[You reminded me of my cousin. She has been married for ten years. She comes from a good family but if you see her mother-in-law whose family doesn’t even match up to my cousin scolding her. I feel so furious and yet my cousin always lower herself. I don’t think that she even knows who is she now. Whenever I think that marriage would mean experiencing the same thing as my cousin, I feel repelled to the thought of it.]
[Women always suffer. Sometimes we get pushed into marriages we don’t even want and when we marry those we love, we find ourselves being looked down on. Marrying in would be fun. If the husband plays game, I can just kick him out of the family. Don’t they like doing the same to women?]
With a twist, the topic changed into something bizarre and Ruby found herself entranced by the topic. It was truly tempting for someone like her.
In their family, the oldest generation was their parents. They were both orphans, which means no other relatives to look forward to. They gave birth to daughters and if they marry into other families, it meant that the Perry’s name will end with them but how could that be?
With how Diamond planned her life, marriage was truly out of the question. There was no way the Atharian law would allow a woman to do polyandry in the open or even dare let a woman have several husbands on the marriage certificate.
She had already talked about how, if she ever had children, some of them would carry their family name. But what if she joins as well?
Honestly, she didn’t want to suffer for whatever reason or humble herself. The idea was tempting and if it ever comes to the point that getting along with future in-laws’ would be hard, then she would follow her sister’s steps, though she didn’t plan on being polyandrous.
She couldn’t manage a large backyard.
She would just enjoy the drama and watch how her sister will handle it.
With such an interesting topic, Ruby didn’t feel bored at all. By the time her eyes left the phone, she was already at the airport.
How fast time flies!
