Burn Me Once Burn With Me (Ruby Grayson) novel Chapter 641

The sudden change of topic caught Cassian off guard.

He couldn’t help but bite his lower lip. “Why?”

At some point, his grandmother’s expression had turned serious. Her gaze drifted to an empty spot in the distance.

“When you and Ruby married, she was the one who loved you. Now that you’re divorced and you want to win her back, you’re the one who loves her. Back then, you didn’t love her enough, so you pushed her away at every turn. Even with my pressure, you only married her reluctantly. But with Ruby, there’s no one pressuring her. If she truly doesn’t love you, everything you do will be in vain.”

Every word of her speech sent a sharp pain through Cassian’s heart. His face slowly paled, and a wave of bitterness washed over his chest.

“Grandma, she used to love me so much… She pursued me for so many years. It hasn’t been that long, how could she…?”

Cassian swallowed hard, trying to force down the bitter taste in his mouth, but the more he spoke, the less he could continue.

His grandmother saw the look on his face and sighed.

She gently patted his shoulder with a wrinkled, aged hand. “Cassian, love is a consumable resource. It can be utterly destroyed by an accumulation of disappointments.”

Cassian’s body swayed slightly.

“Let’s wait for Monica to arrive. I’ll see how Ruby reacts then. If she watches Monica cling to you without the slightest emotional flicker, then even an old woman like me stepping in won’t do any good.”

The old woman straightened up, allowing her to look down at her grandson sitting at his desk.

In her memory, this grandson of hers was exceptionally brilliant, possessing a calmness and intelligence beyond his years since childhood. It was how he had managed to establish himself in Quinborough after leaving the Cunningham family. In all these years, this was the first time she had seen him so flustered, and all for the woman he had once so adamantly rejected.

She sighed inwardly, feeling that love was truly the most baffling thing in the world.
