Love After Divorce by BELLA
Chapter 627:
âI made porridge. You canât eat something too greasy now. Have some porridge first.â Ruben took a sip and found that it was no longer hot, so he handed it to Emily.
Emily nodded. Although she had little appetite, she still took it. Fortunately, Ruben didnât insist on feeding her anymore;
otherwise, she would probably feel even more uncomfortable.
Ruben watched as Emily obediently ate the porridge, a smile on his face.
âItâs not good that you donât go to work, is it?â Emily thought it was not good for Ruben to miss work because of her. She had asked for leave, and Ruben hadnât gone to work either. Even if no one spoke up, others would likely gossip. Thinking about Siena being alone made her uneasy, especially with such a gossipy person around.
But what Emily didnât expect was that although someone was talking about it, Stella had already resolved the situation.
âItâs okay. It doesnât matter if I go or not,â Ruben replied, very happy to hear that Emily cared about him.
Hearing Rubenâs words, Emily realized that he was overthinking things. She didnât care about him at all; her concern was for Stella. Even if Ruben were there, he might not know if Stella was being bullied. However, she was genuinely happy to see Ruben there, so she didnât say anything.
âAre you not going to continue in the entertainment industry?â Emily wondered. She thought back to the press conference Ruben held a few days ago. Although he hadnât explicitly stated he would quit, he hadnât returned to work yet, which made her think he might want to leave.
âWith such a good condition, why do I have to go back to work in the entertainment industry? Thereâs no need to do anything at that place, and itâs easy to earn a salary. Of course, Iâm happy.â Although Ruben smiled, Emily could see a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
âAh, I wonât be able to see you on TV anymore. Thatâs quite disappointing.â Emily handed the empty bowl to Ruben, saying this sadly.
Ruben took the bowl, surprised by her comment. He thought that since he wasnât in the entertainment industry, when he went out with Emily in the future, they wouldnât be watched by others, and he could be like a normal person.
âThink about it. Youâre so handsome. Youâre great at playing all kinds of roles on TV. Iâve watched movies several times, and no matter how many times I see them, I canât help but drool. Youâre just too handsome.â

âI strolled around in front of you every day and never heard you praise me for being handsome. Instead, you only praised my looks on TV.â Ruben curled his lips. It didnât matter whether he was on screen or in reality; he was still the same person.
âCan it be that in reality, youâve been wandering around in front of me all day, and youâve always been the same? But things are different on TV. I can say Iâve seen another side of you. Itâs completely different from who you are now. Iâm just praising your acting skills for being so good at it.â
Emily looked at Rubenâs expression and couldnât help but chuckle to herself.
Ruben watched as the smile on Emilyâs face grew wider. He smiled back and stood up to leave.
Emily looked at Ruben as he walked out and thought he seemed unhappy.
As soon as Ruben entered, he saw Emily sitting on the bed with her head lowered. He felt that something was bothering her.
âWhatâs wrong? Are you unhappy that Iâm going to quit the entertainment industry?â Ruben sat down beside Emily and asked.
âA little. After all, I wonât be able to see my Prince Charming on TV in the future!â Emily thought that Ruben had left, but when she saw him come in again, she immediately felt happy.
When Ruben heard Emilyâs words, he didnât know how to respond. What did she mean by saying she couldnât see her Prince Charming?
âIâm in front of you every day. Why canât you see your Prince Charming? Think about it. In the future, your Prince Charming will be your husband. Shouldnât you be happier?â Ruben was now trying to take control of the situation, not caring about what Emily thought at all.
When Emily heard Rubenâs first sentence, she was still very happy. However, when she heard his second sentence, she didnât know how to reply. What did he mean by saying that he would be her husband in the future? She couldnât agree to be with him yet.
However, Emily didnât voice her thoughts. Instead, she lay back on the bed with her back facing Ruben.
Seeing Emilyâs expression, Rubenâs smile widened. Could he tease Emily for being shy?
âStella, letâs go eat.â It was the first time that Ruben had called for Stella, and she was stunned when she heard his voice, not expecting him to invite her for lunch.
Ruben looked at Stellaâs dazed expression and realized that she was still the same as before, even looking cuter.
âStupid. What are you thinking about? Letâs go,â Ruben said, walking up to Stella, putting down the documents in her hand, and leaving.
âWait a minute!â Stella almost followed Ruben but realized she forgot her phone, so she stopped.
Ruben halted in his tracks and looked at Stella. She grabbed her phone and walked up to him.
