Chapter 870: Chapter 870 Ruby Ti: The Wedding (Finale 40)_1
Howard Coleman and Madeleine remained silent.
The staff mber noticed that sothing seed off about their expressions and the joyful smile that had been on their face instantly vanished. After a mont of silence, they spoke again, “Are you here to go through the divorce procedures?”
Howard showed no reaction, and Madeleine, sitting beside him, gently nodded her head.
“Do you have all the docunts with you? The divorce agreent, the marriage certificate, the identification cards?”
Madeleine opened her bag, took out all of the docunts, and handed them to the staff mber. After a quick glance, instead of proceeding with the divorce, they seriously asked the couple, “This is your last chance. Are you sure you want a divorce?”
What surrounded Howard and Madeleine was a long silence. Madeleine clenched her fists tightly; after a while, she nodded at the staff mber sitting inside.
...
Only after Madeleine nodded did Howard slightly open his mouth, took a slow breath, and softly uttered a “Mhm.”
The staff mber didn’t say anything more but handed them a divorce registration form.
Howard and Madeleine both took the form, picked up a pen, and signed their nas at the designated spot simultaneously.
The staff mber took the form, canceled their marriage certificate, and issued the divorce certificate.

Upon leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Howard asked, “Are you going back to the wedding event?”
Madeleine gently nodded her head.
Howard said nothing, rely opening the car door for Madeleine.
Howard started the car and after driving for a while, Madeleine handed one of the divorce certificates she had been holding to Howard, “This is yours.”
Howard turned his head, glanced at it, and reached out to take it.
The car was quiet once again. After a long while, Madeleine, as if suddenly rembering sothing, said, “We are divorced now, so I won’t be going to your place tonight.”
Howard gripped the steering wheel tight, and after a pause, he hesitantly acknowledged with a “Mhm.”
Madeleine turned her head, staring out of the car window at the scenery. After a mont, she said, “There are so of my things at your house, but they’re not important, just so clothes. You can ask the cleaning lady to gather them up and throw them away.”
Howard, without taking his eyes off the road ahead, pursed his lips tightly as if he hadn’t heard Madeleine at all, and for a long ti, he gave no response.
Madeleine waited a mont, and seeing that he didn’t speak, she was about to close her eyes when she heard Howard’s voice, belatedly replying, “Got it.”
It was just three simple words, but they made Madeleine inexplicably want to cry. She pretended to be sleepy and closed her eyes.
The car swiftly continued on its way and soon arrived back at the entrance of Red Park Resort & Villas.
Seeing that Howard didn’t drive inside, Madeleine turned her head toward him, “Aren’t you going in?”
“Mhm,” Howard nodded.
Madeleine didn’t say anything else, simply unfastened her seatbelt, pushed open the car door, and as she got out of the car, she hesitated before saying, “Howard, let’s both forget about our marriage from now on, as if it never existed. Anyway, we’ll still see each other often. I’ll still be Madeleine, and you’ll still be Howard, right?”
Howard appeared slightly dazed. He opened his mouth but it took a while before he finally managed to respond, still with a simple monotone “Mhm.”
