A One Night Stand With My Boss (Camilla) novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119

Emily and Connor quickly went to greet her.

“Aunt Mary, the mountain paths are treacherous. Please be careful.” Emily softly reminded Mary, took the umbrella from her hands, and gently held her arm.

Mary patted Emily’s hand, her eyes twinkling with a loving smile. “Old as I may be, I’m still quite sturdy.”

Connor also smiled and joined in the conversation. “Great–aunt, you look very well.”

Mary watched him, affection evident in her eyes. “Connor, you’ve grown up so much.”

She sighed sadly, “If only Ruby could have seen you grow up. How wonderful that would have been…”

Connor listened silently, a complex emotion welling up inside him. He turned to look at his father, whose eyes were slightly red.

Ray’s eyes were teary as he stared at the photograph on the gravestone, only moving aside when Mary approached to place her own flowers.

“My poor little Ruby, I’ve come to see you.” Mary’s eyes reddened as she sighed deeply, “Next time, choose your man wisely. Don’t be fooled so naively again.”

“Mary, Ray spoke up.

“Don’t call me. You have no right!” Mary glared at him, her tone cold and resentful.

Ray stood quietly at the side, bearing Mary’s reproach and resentment. His heart grew heavier, but he understood that this was the consequence he had to bear.

Years ago, he had come to Hilltown to invest in mining and had fallen head over heels for Ruby, hiding the fact that he had a family back in Femwood Valley. He pursued her fiercely.

They even had a wedding celebration in Hilltown and spent some wonderful time together.

However, just as he was basking in happiness, Sydney from Fernwood Valley confronted him. She exposed Ray’s lies, revealing the truth to Ruby.

At that moment, Ruby’s world collapsed. Her heart was tormented, and her trust in Ray instantly turned to ashes.
