Summary of the To the Love of My Life
Ruby Gregory thought she had Steve Burton all figured out before they even got engaged. She imagined smooth talk, maybe some carefully crafted charm, to convince him for a night off here or there.
Now, married life? It’s flipped the script completely for her. Suddenly, getting *any* moment alone is harder than climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in heels. Her usual arsenal – "Honey, I think I might have a slight cold," or even "Honey, I'm going to a friend's house later" – just doesn't cut it anymore.
His response is always the same: gentle but firm, understanding his wife’s needs without needing a detailed explanation every time she tries to wiggle out. He defuses her excuses with practiced ease, leaving her feeling like she can barely whisper against him.
One day, frustrated and realizing direct pleas were useless, Ruby got bold. "Honey," she thought dramatically while packing, "I'm in the Maldives right now! Make sure to lock up the house tonight before you sleep!"
You know, that was supposed to be her escape hatch – a dramatic story to get him to back off just this once.
But Steve? He didn't buy it for one second. He knew exactly what she was doing and subtly eased his assistant into making arrangements... arrangements that involved finding out precisely where Ruby was heading.
It turns out, sometimes the biggest "escape" you need in a webnovel relationship is simply realizing your partner already knows everything anyway.
