" Brother, you should returned back to your estate now. Sister-in-law must be worried. It's been one week since you last visited your estate after your marriage ! I am feeling guilty too ." Princess Rubi sighed sadly suddenly .

"Because of me , you end up leaving your new bride at your estate alone . Please bring sister-in-law here . I want to apologise to her personally ." Rubi said to him. She noticed her brothers sudden strange change of expression suddenly. She was quite shocked as well .
