Ruby Gregory thought about it, but eventually shook her head, “You decide.”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Steve Burton ended up booking dinner at the Grand Ciawell Restaurant not far from where they were now.

On the way, Steve called to reserve a private room, so when they arrived, the two were led directly into the room by the waiter.

Grand Ciawell Restaurant is an old establishment, and many years ago, Steve and Ruby had dined here, so Steve picked up the menu and ordered the dishes Ruby had to eat every time they came, and added a new dish that they had launched this month.

Steve was feeling a bit down, and not as talkative as usual. After ordering, as the waiter left, he stared at the three tulips in the vase on the table, when suddenly his phone rang.

It was Rusell Henris calling. Steve answered the call.

There were some issues with a case that their company was temporarily collaborating on, so Steve and Rusell’s call lasted for quite a while. They were talking about professional jargon, which Ruby found boring, so she played with her phone by herself.

During the course of the meal, Steve got up and walked to the window, turning his back to the dining table to continue his call.

While browsing Twitter, Ruby suddenly saw a tweet about the most surnames used for male and female protagonists in novels, which made her suddenly realize that she hadn’t named her babies yet.

In fact, she had been struggling with the baby names for the last few months, but hadn’t come up with any good ones. Now, with barely a month left before her triplets were born, her doctor said they might even come out early, which meant she may not even have a full month left to decide…

So, Ruby casually picked up the pen and paper next to the table and started jotting down ideas.

When Steve hung up the phone, he turned around and saw several dishes on the table, while Ruby was alone, propped on the table, biting the pen, thinking for a while, then scribbling down some ideas.

She looked just like when she was younger, doing her homework. Steve couldn’t help but look at her for a while. When the waiter brought up the last dish, Steve came to his senses, and waited until the waiter left before asking, “What are you writing?”

Ruby quickly raised her head, saw Steve walking back to the table, then looked down at the “Burton” she had written on the paper, hastily picked up the pen, and scribbled over the character, sounding a bit rushed, “Nothing, just thinking about the babies’ names.”

Babies… Steve felt a little choked when he heard the word “babies.” He hesitated for a moment, but still pulled out the chair beside Ruby, sat down, and glanced at the names Ruby had written on the paper.

She had written many names, both for boys and girls. Steve quickly scanned them and found them all average, with no big surprises. However, when he saw the last three names, his expression froze for a moment.

James Reat, Samuel Reat, George Reat.

It seemed that there was another character in front of the three names, but it had been scribbled out. It must have been a surnames…

Edric James, Edric Samuel, Edric George?

Edric Reat, missing, Ruby Gregory?

What great names…

Ruby was biting the pen, looking troubled as she stared at the names she had written on the paper. In fact, she also liked the names James, Samuel, and George.
