Chapter 892: Chapter 892 The One He Loves is Back (Part 6)_1
Rusell Henris listened to Edward Woods’s complaints without responding; instead, he opened his laptop and bluntly started working right in Edward’s office.
Edward, lazy and languid, lifted his hand to prop up his head, watching Rusell’s relentless typing for a while before blinking and withdrawing his gaze, continuing to speak, “Ruby is fine, though. Even though we grew up together as kids, she’s not like us, tangled in work affairs. Madeleine has come back this time, and after another divorce with Howard, we are bound to run into each other all the time, it’s going to be awfully awkward!”
Rusell’s fingers didn’t slow their pace on the keyboard as he multitasked, staring at the computer screen and saying, “Howard has changed quite a bit over these years.”
“Not just quite a bit, he’s practically a different person. Among us, he used to talk the most, always finding ways to mess with others when there was no trouble. Now, when we all go out, he becomes the quietest one. In the past, with Madeleine around, even if you were broody and aloof, we still had four who could chat and laugh. Now suddenly it’s just the two of us, sigh…”
Rusell, hearing Edward’s sigh and with his brows and eyes showing no particular change, inexplicably threw out, “Aren’t we good, the two of us?”
“Ah? Just us two?” Edward sat up straight, thought for a moment, and said, “Yeah, we’re pretty good!”

Because Ruby Gregory had been informed by Madeleine in advance about her return to the country, her apartment in Ciawell had already been cleaned and tidied up by Ruby’s arrangements. Ruby even replaced the old-fashioned clothes in Madeleine’s closet with the new season’s styles.
She had intended to rest up at home, but the anticipation of meeting Howard Coleman that night kept her lying dry in bed for several hours without a wink of sleep.
They had agreed to meet at The Sapphire Bistro at eight in the evening. At six o’clock, Madeleine received a call from Ruby saying she had already set off and would arrive at around seven-thirty.
Madeleine lived in the city, unlike Ruby who needed over an hour to come over, so after hanging up, Madeleine dallied for nearly half an hour before getting out of bed to wash up, apply simple makeup, put on a new skirt with the tag still on, paired with matching shoes, and then left home.

Ruby Gregory arrived at The Sapphire Bistro at seven-thirty-five, where Steve Burton, Rusell Henris, Edward Woods, and Howard Coleman were already there, probably because they had arrived much earlier and were playing cards.

As it was nearing eight o’clock and Madeleine still hadn’t shown up, Ruby couldn’t help but take out her phone to hurry her, only to find out that a rear-end collision on the road was causing the delay.
When Ruby asked via WhatsApp for the fifth time where Madeleine was, she heard Madeleine’s voice replying to her through the door of the private room, “Ruby, I’m at the door of the private room!”
