For a moment, Ruth did not know how to answer.
She stared at Sheldon for nearly a minute. Then, she said, "Mr. Hawls, why did the president ask me such a question?"
Sheldon gave a wry smile and said, "You should ask him instead."
Speaking of this, he paused and said, "But I guess it may have something to do with you exposing Yuliana."
Ruth understood what Sheldon meant.
She immediately said, "He misunderstood me. I didn't expose her to go back to Quartley Palace. I only want to protect Mr. Zorion. And I'm living well in Agaphen City."
At this point, her heart was filled with emotions.
She sniffed and said, "When I was in Nashaland, I was just a servant who could be trampled on by anyone. Sometimes, I don't even feel like a person."
"But after I came to Agaphen City, I learned how to stand up for myself for the first time."
"I have a career and friends. I really have a good life there. Everything that I once dared not think about has been realized over there."
Speaking of this, Ruth glanced at the child in her arms.
Seven was asleep. His face was innocent as he breathed steadily.
Her face softened unconsciously.
She said, "If it weren't for this child, I wouldn't even want to come back to Nashaland."
Even if Nashaland was her hometown.
But after staying in Agaphen City for so long, her feelings for Agaphen City were even more intense than that of Nashaland.
