To the Love of My Life-Chapter 895 - The One He Loves is Back (Part 9)_1

Chapter 895: Chapter 895 The One He Loves is Back (Part 9)_1

Reuniting after a long time is indeed a happy occasion, but it often brings more sorrow.

Madeleine knew that her silent departure three and a half years ago made them all worry, and now that she greeted Howard Coleman, it inevitably reminded everyone of her and Howard Coleman’s dysfunctional marriage. So, to improve the atmosphere, she immediately squatted down, opened the suitcase she brought, and announced, “I’ve brought gifts for each one of you.”

As she spoke, Madeleine took out a beautifully wrapped box, glanced at the “2” she had written on it, and handed it to Rusell Henris, “Jack, this is yours.”

Rusell Henris stretched out his hand to take it and said, “Thank you.”

Madeleine looked up and smiled at Rusell Henris, then continued to dig out gifts from her suitcase, handing them out to everyone. Lastly, she picked up a gift wrapped in white paper and handed it to Howard Coleman, who was standing by her side: “Howard.”

Howard Coleman reflexively reached out to take it, and perhaps because he moved too eagerly, his fingertips brushed against hers. Madeleine shuddered and quickly diverted her gaze to her suitcase, acting as if nothing had happened, and in a half-joking tone to mask the nervousness and palpitations in her heart, she said, “Let me tell you all, I spent a good amount of money on these gifts, so each of you better treat me to a meal. I told myself while swiping the card that I must eat my money back!”

Edward Woods, with a smile on his face, quickly responded, “No problem at all, as long as you, Madeleine, are willing, I can treat you to a meal every day!”

Rusell Henris didn’t hesitate to say, “Well then, since Edward is eager to treat Madeleine, I won’t be polite.”

Ruby Gregory quickly interjected, “Madeleine, try hard to eat, and let’s hope to bankrupt Edward.”

Steve Burton, who normally kept to himself and didn’t talk much, unusually joined in just after Ruby Gregory finished speaking, “Jack, how do you know that Edward is eager to treat Madeleine as a favor to you?”

It was still the usual practice for everyone to take delight in teasing one person, and seeing this scene she hadn’t witnessed in so long, Madeleine couldn’t help but smile with crescent eyes.

Only Howard Coleman stood aside, watching Madeleine’s smile, and silently lowered his eyelids, gripping the gift she bought him tightly in one hand while touching the fingertips that Madeleine had just touched with his other hand.

–

After distributing the gifts, Steve Burton called the waiter to serve the dishes, and everyone took their seats.

To avoid any awkwardness, Rusell Henris and Edward Woods deliberately sat between Madeleine and Howard Coleman.

The food was ordered by Ruby Gregory, all of which were Madeleine’s favorites.
