Chapter 847: Chapter 847 Ruby Ti: The Wedding (Finale 17)_1
The next day, when Madeleine opened her eyes, she appeared sowhat bewildered, still curled up in Howard Coleman’s arms. This was the first ti she had awoken in Howard’s embrace since they had been married for so long.
She was dazed for quite a while before the events of the previous night slowly returned to her mind.
Howard had actually kissed her…
Madeleine couldn’t help but raise her hand to touch her lips, then turned her head to look at Howard.
The man was still deep asleep, his eyelashes long, his lips slightly pursed, his expression serene. Bathed in the sunlight coming in from the window, he looked unspeakably handso.
Madeleine stared at Howard for an indeterminate amount of ti, until the man finally began to stir from his drowsy slumber.
...
The lovemaking from last night was truly beautiful, so beautiful that it even made her deludedly think that he loved her.
But she understood that he had always seen her as nothing more than a sister, perhaps her crying last night had made him feel pity, or maybe it was the depth of the night, the solitude, his montary passion.
So, the mont Howard opened his eyes, Madeleine consciously and quickly scrambled out of his embrace, silently picked up her clothes to dress neatly, and then smoothly pulled open the drawer beside her. She retrieved an ergency contraceptive pill, unwrapped it with fluent and natural movents, and popped it into her mouth. Without any water, she forcefully swallowed it down.
The sowhat confused Howard, witnessing Madeleine’s series of actions, abruptly froze. He instinctively wanted to reach out and stop her, but she had already swallowed the pill, and his hand balled into a tight fist involuntarily.
After taking the dicine, Madeleine tossed the packaging into the trash can, turned her head with a face that looked sowhat pale, and gave Howard a faint smile, “The ergency contraceptive pill works within seventy-two hours, so, I shouldn’t get pregnant.”
Howard wanted to speak but his throat felt as if it were being choked. He couldn’t make a sound and could only silently tighten his clenched fist, watching as Madeleine walked into the bathroom.
It wasn’t until the sound of running water in the bathroom started that Howard blinked his eyes and ca to his senses.
Then he realized that deep down, his heart ached unbearably.
He had kissed her last night… Even during the kiss, his entire body was boiling with emotions, a feeling he had never experienced when kissing Anita Madris… Seeing her cry last night pained him, and now watching her take the pill, his heart ached even more…
Even though he was the one who wanted her to take the dicine, why did he now feel an urge to snatch the pill from her hand when he saw her taking it?
“Howard, are you biased towards her? Could it be that in the days I was away, you’ve fallen for her?”
“Is it that you really don’t know, or that you don’t want to let yourself know?”
The words from Anita Madris and Steve Burton began to resonate slowly in his head.
Howard just felt as if his mind was about to explode, muddled up into a ss. He didn’t know how long it had been when the chaos in his brain finally settled down, the myriad threads of thought eventually weaving into a very clear conclusion: he thought, he might really have fallen for Madeleine.
