Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Let Her Be Happy for a While (4)

Madeleine naturally understood that the gift Rusell took was bound for abandonment, and she couldn’t help but shout out, “Brother!”

However, Steve Burton acted as if he hadn’t heard Madeleine’s protest, turning gracefully and continuing to greet the next person. freewebnov el.com

Ruby Gregory stared fixedly at her own gift box in the cart in front of Rusell.

She hadn’t expected that one day, she would exchange places with Olivia Foster.

Once carelessly thrown by Steve Burton into the abandoned gift pile without even blinking, Olivia Foster now gained his attention.

While Ruby, who used to be the first to take a gift and unwrap it on Steve’s birthdays, was now thrown by him into the abandoned gift pile without even a glance.

Just like three years ago, after their one night of passion, she was discarded by him without any lingering affection.

Perhaps because Ruby had been staring at her gift box in front of Rusell for too long, Madeleine became worried at heart and couldn’t help but make faces at Howard Coleman. Howard tossed his gift directly to Edward Woods, then tried to smooth things over, saying, “Madeleine, Ruby, want to join me for a drink or two

“Sure, sure.” Madeleine agreed, and pulled Ruby away vigorously, forcing her to leave Steve’s vicinity.

They went back to the secluded corner where Ruby and Madeleine had chatted earlier.

Once seated, Madeleine and Howard began talking animatedly.

However, Ruby no longer had the liveliness and vitality that she had before the banquet when chatting with Madeleine; she simply sat and listened in silence.

Madeleine and Howard had started chatting for Ruby’s sake, but since she remained silent, their conversation gradually petered out.

In the end, the three of them fell into silence all at once.

At this very moment, the banquet began, and Madeleine hurriedly spoke up to break the silence: “Ruby, let’s go get something to eat.”

Ruby Gregory really had no appetite, but still followed Madeleine, heading to the buffet area.

Just as Steve had mentioned in his office that day, there were many flavors of cake prepared for his birthday party.

When Ruby and Madeleine came to get food, Steve was blowing out the candles and cutting the cake. 𝒇𝓻𝙚𝙚𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝒄𝒐𝒎

Many people still surrounded him.

Even Madeleine held her plate up close, waiting for a piece of cake.

So many people celebrated his birthday, and even if he didn’t like some of them, he didn’t show it, but she was the exception.

Ruby feared that he would embarrass her, making her the laughingstock of those around her.

So, Ruby silently avoided the cake-cutting area, hid far away, chose some light food, and returned to the secluded corner.

Howard had also gone to join in the fun around the cake cutting, and with everyone gathered there, Ruby sat alone in the corner.

Ruby Gregory sat with her back to the cake-cutting area, while behind her, the sounds of merriment constantly reached her ears, making her surroundings seem desolate and cold..
