Chapter 748: Chapter 748: A Mysterious Express Delivery (8)
Of course, those gifts were all for The Triplets, either little clothes or toys.
That week was no exception; Madeleine went straight to the mall after finishing work on Friday.
Before she married Howard Coleman, she usually went ho to West Suburb Villa for dinner aside from social engagents.
Back then, she didn’t attend many social events because, being a girl, she inevitably had to drink alcohol. So, Steve Burton, Rusell Henri, Edward Woods, and Howard Coleman would mostly try to handle these tasks themselves. At that ti, she and Howard were as close as siblings. Even when she had to attend an event and needed Howard’s company, he would not hesitate to cancel any date with other won to accompany her. During those events, he would make sure she didn’t have to drink a drop of alcohol.
However, after their marriage, all the happiness and peace were shattered by her own hands. Howard no longer protected her, and she, in order not to let the elders know about the ss of their marriage, tried her best not to go ho for dinner any longer, leaving her eating als mostly alone.
Madeleine arrived at the shopping mall, found a random fast-food restaurant, ate a al to fill her stomach, and then went to the top floor’s mother and baby section.
Baby items were always cute and beautiful. Madeleine walked around for a long ti, feeling envious deep within. If she had a child, she would surely buy everything here. Unfortunately, Howard barely gave her any chance to get pregnant.
With this thought, Madeleine’s eyes beca sowhat dim. She picked out three identical toys and left Howard’s apartnt address before paying by card and leaving.
It was only 9 pm, and she didn’t particularly want to go back to the large and lonely apartnt. Thinking it would be Ruby Gregory’s birthday in just a few hours, she went to the won’s clothing section on the third floor, planning to find a birthday gift for Ruby.
As Madeleine passed the Chanel Counter, she saw a gorgeous newly launched handbag. Despite the high price, she never scrimped when it ca to Ruby, so she asked the saleswoman to get one for her, holding it in her hand and trying it in front of the mirror.
“Miss, this bag is the flagship style for this season; it’s beautiful and fashionable. It suits you very well,” the saleswoman stood nearby with a smile, complinting her.
Indeed, it was beautiful and fashionable, and it would undoubtedly look great on Ruby. Madeleine nodded in satisfaction, handing the bag to the saleswoman: “Please wrap it up.”
The saleswoman nodded happily, leading Madeleine to the cashier.
As Madeleine handed over her bank card to pay, the cashier gave her the bank receipt: “Miss, please sign here.”
Madeleine nodded slightly, took the pen, and was just about to sign when she heard a coquettish female voice from behind her: “Mr. Coleman, can I have both of these bags, please?”
Perhaps because it was the sa last na “Coleman” as Howard, Madeleine couldn’t help but pay attention.
The next mont, she heard an all too familiar, languid male voice: “You spent a night with last night and only got one bag for it. Now you want two; do you plan on staying with for another night?”
The mont Madeleine heard this voice, her finger trembled as she was signing the character “月,” and the tip of the pen quivered, leaving a long, unintended stroke.
