It doesn’t seem like a pleasant surprise… Ruby Gregory felt a hint of trepidation deep in her heart, she somewhat didn’t want to continue reading, but she had to: “By the time you get this letter, I will have already left Ciawell.”
Ruby Gregory’s face instantly lost all color, and her fingertips, holding the thin sheet of paper, began to tremble slightly.
“Ruby, I know you must be angry that I left you just a letter and disappeared without saying goodbye.”
“However, before you get angry, I want to tell you some good news, that is, Howard and I got divorced.”
“I’m finally free, which is a very fortunate thing to celebrate, and with your wedding happening today, it truly is a double celebration for us sisters!”
Even though the words Madeleine wrote on the paper seemed light-hearted, Ruby clearly envisioned Madeleine’s tear-stained, sorrowful, and desperate face.
...
Howard was her life, yet she just let go; how much must she be suffering now?
Ruby Gregory’s eyes started to moisten.
“Lastly, Ruby, I wish you a happy married life.”
“Madeleine, stay.”
When Ruby Gregory saw the last word, she finally couldn’t hold back, and tears pitter-pattered onto the paper she was holding.
Madeleine left, just like that?
She had just recently said she wanted to stay and watch The Triplets grow up with her over afternoon tea, but in a blink of an eye, she left without a word.
She must have been utterly hopeless and disappointed, that’s why she chose to flee.
She once lived abroad by herself and knew how hard and sad it could be.
The more Ruby thought about it, the worse she felt, until she finally couldn’t bear it and burst into deep sobs.

Steve Burton finished seeing off the guests, his handsome face radiant with happiness. He returned to the presidential suite and pushed the door open, gently calling out “Ruby,” but there was no response.
Steve Burton frowned slightly, his face still wearing a light smile. He walked to the bedroom door, pushed it open, and was about to ask “What are you up to?” when he saw Ruby Gregory, sitting on the big red bedspread, crying like a tearful mess.
Steve Burton’s expression immediately tensed, he rushed forward in a leap, squatting in front of Ruby Gregory, anxiously exclaiming: “Ruby? What’s wrong? Ruby?”
Ruby Gregory, upon seeing Steve Burton, reached out her hand, wrapped it around his neck, and started sobbing loudly. Steve Burton’s brow was deeply furrowed as he looked at the paper tightly clutched in her hand, pulled it out, and began to read it while gently patting her back. His expression quickly turned grave, and without a second thought, he took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number for the company.
As soon as the call connected, Steve Burton didn’t wait for the person on the other end to speak, and asked directly: “Where is Ms. Madeleine?”
“Ms. Madeleine went to Oceania.”
“Oceania? What is she doing in Oceania?”
“She is in charge of the project in Oceania.”
Steve Burton’s tone became more serious: “Who made such an important decision on their own, and why didn’t I know about it?”
“It was Ms. Madeleine’s own decision. She said you’ve been busy with the wedding and didn’t want to disturb you.” There was a pause on the other end, then a slightly cautious voice continued: “The plane took off two hours ago.”
