Chapter 757: Chapter 757: Fearlessly Blocking the Blade (7)
Having said that, Madeleine raised her head, emptied the glass of alcohol, and then picked up the bottle. While pouring herself another glass, she looked into Ruby Gregory’s eyes and said, “Last night, Howard brought two won ho.”
Although Madeleine said this with a smile, Ruby still felt a pang of heartache. She hesitated for a mont and asked, “Madeleine, do you want to hear my opinion?”
As if knowing what Ruby was going to say next, Madeleine remained silent, her pouring motion stopped for a mont. She then put the bottle back on the table, picked up her glass, and continued to drink.
Ruby stared at Madeleine who finished another glass of alcohol and then spoke up, “Don’t torture yourself like this. Why not just break up with Howard?”
Madeleine’s lips tightened, and her grip on the glass increased. After a long while, she raised her head and looked at Ruby with a faint smile, “Break up?”
She smiled, then picked up her glass again and took a heavy drink. Continuing, she said, “Ruby, if I break up with Howard now, doesn’t that an there’s no hope for us in this lifeti? If this was the ending I wanted, do you think I would have gone to such lengths to drive his little true love away and make him truly hate ?”
“But Madeleine, it hurts to see you suffer, and there are so many n in the world. Maybe you’ll find soone else who is more suitable for you than Howard.”
“Do you think anyone can replace my brother in your heart? If my brother did sothing wrong, could you cut ties with him so easily?”
Madeleine’s sudden question left Ruby speechless.
She had been feeling upset all afternoon because Steve Burton had gone behind her back to do DNA paternity testing, but she never even thought about breaking up with him.
“Ruby, you actually understand deep inside that so people just can’t be replaced. The person who cannot be replaced for you is my brother, and for , it’s Howard.” Madeleine swallowed and poured each of them a glass of alcohol. After clinking glasses with Ruby, she took a sip and continued, “At first, I also felt like I was breaking down living like this with Howard, but later I beca numb. Of course, the numbness ca from the pain here…”
As she spoke, Madeleine pointed to her chest, “Sotis, when I can’t sleep at night, I wonder if this is really the life I want. But Ruby, you don’t know how painful it is for to think of breaking up with Howard. It’s so unbearable that I feel like dying.”
“Ruby, do you know? I really love Howard, so much that I would die without him.”
Madeleine reiterated her last sentence in a different way.
Ruby suddenly felt saddened and didn’t know how to persuade Madeleine anymore.
The atmosphere beca sowhat quiet.
Everyone in the bar spoke in hushed tones, and only the singer’s voice echoed as he sang Eason Chan’s song “Elimination”: “I’ve told you all my lies, and you believed them. I simply say ‘I love you’, but you never believe.”
