Chapter 829: Chapter 829: Overbearing CEO Falls for the Delicate Wife (29)_1
Madeleine snapped back to her senses, and she saw a cardboard box at the man’s feet with some scattered small-denomination bills inside. She pulled out her wallet from her bag, took out several red banknotes, and placed them in the box before asking the man, “Could you sing that song you just sang one more time?”
The man glanced at the money Madeleine had put down, then at her somewhat sorrowful expression, and nodded his head. He played the background music for that song and sang it again.

After the man finished singing, he noticed that the woman standing in front of him had tears streaming down her face, and he couldn’t help but ask in a somewhat flustered voice, “What’s wrong?”
Madeleine didn’t speak, but her tears fell even harder.
The man hastily took some tissues out of his bag and handed them to Madeleine.
Madeleine took them, her voice choked as she said “Thank you,” and then, while wiping her tears, she couldn’t help but snort with laughter, “How embarrassing, I’ve never cried in front of strangers before.”
...
The man watched the woman who was both laughing and crying before him, and felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart, “Um, have you encountered something sad?”
Madeleine shook her head with a smile, dabbed the tears at the corners of her eyes with a tissue, then smiled brightly and spoke frankly, “Yes, I’ve encountered something very sad. I think I’m going to lose the man I’ve loved for many years.”
As Madeleine spoke, she felt the sourness welling up in her eyes again. She took a deep breath, swallowed back her tears, smiled faintly at the busking man, and then walked toward the front of the subway passage.
The busking man watched Madeleine’s retreating figure for a long time before diverting his gaze, only to see a dapper and handsome man standing in front of him. His expression briefly froze before he saw the handsome man bend down and place several red banknotes in his box that were several times the amount the girl who had just left had given. Then he heard the handsome man ask, “What did that girl tell you while crying just now?”
The busking man, still astonished by the generous donations from two successive people, took a while before he relayed to Howard Coleman what Madeleine had just told him, “Just now, that girl said she had encountered something very sad and she thinks she’s about to lose the man she has loved for many years.”
As Howard Coleman emerged from the subway passage, he saw Madeleine standing outside a bridal shop on the first floor of the mall, staring blankly inside.
Directly in front of Madeleine were three models, each wearing a beautiful wedding gown.
She remembered, a few days ago when Ruby Gregory was chatting with her online, asking for her help in choosing a wedding dress. At that time, Ruby had told her, “A woman, in this lifetime, must experience a romantic proposal, wear a pure white wedding dress once, and have a beautiful wedding photo taken.”
She was already married, yet she didn’t have any of those three wonderful things.
She didn’t even have a wedding ring…
Madeleine lowered her eyes slightly, looking at her empty fingers, the discomfort in her heart becoming heavier and more expansive.
Madeleine stood outside the bridal shop window for a long time before picking up her phone to check the time—it was already five o’clock.
In the past, she would have placed an order at work so that by the time she got home, the food would have just arrived, allowing her to prepare supper.
