Chapter 853: Chapter 853 Ruby Time: The Wedding (Finale 23)_1

The sales associate noticed Howard Coleman gazing intently at the ring and tactfully spoke up, saying, “This ring is our flagship model for this year. Many celebrities have purchased this set for their wedding. This blank space is specifically designed for the buyers to have their names engraved.”

As the sales associate spoke, they took out the ring and showed it to Howard Coleman.

Howard Coleman took the ring, examined it briefly, and then, without any hesitation, took out his card and handed it to the sales associate.

After waiting for roughly two hours, Howard Coleman came out with the rings engraved with “Howard Coleman” and “Madeleine.”

He got into the car, carefully weighed the rings in his hand, and then picked up his phone to make a call to Madeleine.

As Madeleine had already committed the back-and-forth lyrics to heart, Howard Coleman’s unexpected call came through.

Apart from the time when she and Ruby Gregory faced danger at Hora, and Steve Burton directed Howard Coleman to make a call to her, this was the first time Howard Coleman had initiated a call to her after their marriage.

Madeleine stared at the flickering phone screen for a long while, then answered the call, hearing Howard Coleman’s voice, “Madeleine?”

In her memory, it had also been a long time since Howard Coleman had called her by her name.

A slight warmth brimmed in Madeleine’s eyes; she fought desperately to swallow the discomfort in her chest and replied softly into the phone, “Mhm.”

“Let’s have dinner together tonight,” Howard Coleman paused, then added, “Does the Grand Ciawell Restaurant sound good? I’ll make a reservation later.”

It just so happened that she wanted to have dinner with him too… Madeleine responded, “Okay.”

Then she added, “But let’s have it at home instead.”

On the other end of the line, Howard Coleman was silent for a moment, then agreeably replied, “Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Madeleine stared blankly at her computer screen for a long while, then shut down the computer, picked up her bag, and left the office early to head for the market.

She thought that maybe this was the last time she would cook dinner for him.

Howard Coleman came home particularly early that day; it was just seven o’clock when he arrived at the entrance of the apartment. He stood outside, reached into his pocket to feel the paper box, then took a deep breath, and raised his hand to enter the password.

As soon as Howard Coleman opened the door, he saw Madeleine walking out of the kitchen, standing at the kitchen entrance from a distance. She smiled at him and said, “You’re back?”

Howard Coleman gazed at Madeleine’s face for a moment, hummed softly in acknowledgment, and changed his shoes in the foyer area.

“Go wash your hands; I’ve already finished making dinner.” After saying this, Madeleine smiled at Howard Coleman again and then turned to walk back into the kitchen.

Howard Coleman went to the communal restroom and washed his hands thoroughly. As he dried them with a towel, he looked up at himself in the mirror and noticed a hint of nervousness flashing in his eyes.

He considered himself a veteran in the field of romance, having uttered many sweet nothings to various women, yet he realized that none of those heartless confessions had equipped him with any profound experience. In fact, he found himself, at that moment, incredibly nervous in a way that was almost indescribable.

Leaving the restroom, Howard Coleman went straight to the dining room. Standing at the doorway, he saw Madeleine carrying plates and bustling about the dining table.
