Chapter 868: Chapter 868 Ruby Time: The Wedding (Finale 38)_1

Madeleine and Howard Coleman stared intently at Steve Burton and Ruby Gregory exchanging rings, but in their minds, they synchronously imagined the scene where they would exchange rings with each other.

The moment the ring exchange was complete, Steve Burton and Ruby Gregory couldn’t help but embrace each other and began to kiss.

The whole audience burst into warm applause and joyful cheers, even Rusell Henris and Edward Woods, standing to the side, joined in the clapping.

Madeleine and Howard Coleman were a full ten seconds late before they regained their senses, stiffly raising their hands to join in the applause.

The two people in front of them were their best friends, and they should have felt happy for their happiness, but why, at this moment, was all they could feel in the depths of their hearts nothing but endless sorrow and loss?

Do you know, Madeleine, at this moment, I truly love you. I really want to give you a wedding like Steve is doing now, asking you to marry me in a grand and open ceremony, and making vows to you.

...

Do you know, Howard, even though you’ve hurt me so deeply, I still can’t stop loving you. I wish so much that I could be as happy as Ruby and marry the man I love.

–

After the wedding ceremony ended, Steve Burton and Ruby Gregory poured champagne together and then started the wedding banquet.

Steve Burton and Ruby Gregory went to change into a new set of formal wear, then came out to start toasting the guests.

Throughout the venue, with hundreds of tables, they toasted table by table, and everyone offered them sincere blessings.

The bridesmaids and groomsmen had taken their seats. Steve Burton and Ruby Gregory first toasted the elders, and then came to the table where Rusell Henris, Edward Woods, Howard Coleman, and Madeleine were seated.

Steve Burton and Ruby Gregory stood side by side in front of them, each holding a glass of liquor, slightly tilted it, and then downed it in one gulp.

These friends, who had grown up together, offered their blessings generously, with all sorts of elaborate phrases.

The wedding dishes were exquisite and plentiful. After Steve Burton and Ruby Gregory finished toasting, Howard Coleman only picked at his food with indifference, then turned his head and kept gazing at Madeleine sitting beside him.

Madeleine quietly used her chopsticks, tasting every dish with grace. She took a long time eating because she was slow, and she didn’t eat much before putting down her chopsticks, turned her head, and looked at Howard Coleman, “Let’s leave.”

Howard Coleman did not respond immediately, but stared into Madeleine’s eyes for a long while. Then he lifted the wine glass from the table, drank the liquor in one gulp, and when the burning sensation of alcohol slid down into his stomach, he finally nodded slightly and said softly, “Okay.”

Madeleine said nothing, gracefully standing up. Howard Coleman followed her lead. Edward Woods, who was clinking glasses with Rusell Henris, noticed them getting up and asked with curiosity, “Madeleine, Howard, where are you off to?”

Madeleine did not reply, but Howard Coleman spoke with a calm tone, “Got something to take care of, we’ll be back in a bit.”

Having said that, Howard Coleman glanced at Madeleine, then began walking towards the exit of the wedding venue, with Madeleine quickly following behind, her gaze never leaving Howard Coleman’s back.

Howard Coleman and Madeleine took the sightseeing car to the parking lot of Red Park Resort & Villas. Although Howard Coleman had consumed some alcohol, it wasn’t much, so he did not seek out a designated driver. He opened the car door for Madeleine, waited for her to get in, then got into the car himself and started the engine.
