Chapter 860: Chapter 860 Ruby Ti: The Wedding (Finale 30)_1
Howard Coleman paused for a mont as he reached this point; it took a significant pause and a deep breath as if the words he was about to utter were incredibly difficult, requiring a trendous effort to enunciate clearly, “I agree.”
Last night, as Madeleine gazed at the 27-story building, she still fantasized about whether Howard would consider not divorcing her.
Even though she knew it was wishful thinking, she understood that Howard would definitely agree.
But when she actually heard the words “I agree” from Howard’s mouth, she found that she couldn’t quite co to terms with the blow and reality. She suddenly really wanted to ask Howard what was wrong with her that he couldn’t bear to love her.
Madeleine’s hand clutched the hem of her skirt tightly, her eyes sowhat vacant as she stared at the man in front of her, remaining silent.
Howard just felt as if his heart had been fiercely grasped, throbbing with intense pain. It was as if he was speaking to himself as he reiterated his previous statent, “I thought about it, Madeleine. I respect your wishes and agree to the divorce.”
...
In an instant, Madeleine’s eyes beca moist. She lowered her head and nodded gently, still without making a sound.
Howard stared at the dark hair on her head, a mist forming in his eyes. He turned his head away, refusing to look at her face, and simply pushed the divorce agreent to the center of the dining table, “I have already signed the divorce papers. As for the divorce proceedings…”
God knows how much effort it took for him to painstakingly write his na on the signature line of the divorce agreent.
Now, he has to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and sign his na again.
To think, he really didn’t want to divorce her.
Howard couldn’t help but lift his hand to cover his face. With his eyes closed, he took several slow, deep breaths before lowering his hand, speaking in a calm tone, “Let’s handle it after brother’s wedding with Ruby ends. Their wedding is in the next few days, and you and I are the bridesmaid and groomsman. So, let’s wait a few days.”
Like a tape recorder, Howard repeated, “Just a few days, just a few days.”
Madeleine didn’t look up at Howard. With a choked voice and feigning ease, she said, “Okay, no problem.”
Howard didn’t speak further. He stood up swiftly, kicked the chair behind him, picked up one of the divorce agreents from the table, turned quickly, and left the dining room. Then he grabbed the car keys and left the house.
Madeleine waited for the living room door to slam shut before lifting her head, tears streaming down her face. She stretched out her hand to pick up the divorce agreent Howard left behind, opened it, and looked at the nas Howard Coleman and Madeleine side by side. She finally couldn’t hold back and leaned over the table, crying uncontrollably once more.
After Madeleine had her fill of crying, she raised her head, her fingers trembling as she picked up her phone and made a call, “Ms. Woods? It’s Madeleine. Please arrange for to take on that project in Oceania. Mr. Burton, Mr. Woods, Mr. Coleman, and Mr. Henris don’t know yet. Don’t tell them for now. I’ll discuss it with them later. Okay, good, bye.”

July 7th, Chinese Valentine’s Day, the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl et.
This day was the wedding of Steve Burton and Ruby Gregory.
PS: That’s all for today’s update. I’ll post 12 chapters tomorrow. I’m heading back to Ciawell tomorrow. I spent the day shopping with Mom, which was exhausting. And tonight, as Mom was a bit reluctant to part, I stayed to chat for a while, feeling a bit upset inside. But once I’m back in Ciawell, I can update earlier as usual. The reason for late updates at ho is to spend ti with my parents. Well… I guess the grand finale should be by the 5th. Whether Howard and Madeleine go to collect their divorce certificate, you’ll find out tomorrow. Goodnight~
