Chapter 893: Chapter 893 The One He Loves is Back (Part 7)_1
Ruby Gregory, upon hearing Madeleine’s voice the instant it traveled through the private room door, stood up from beside Steve Burton and rushed toward the entrance. When Madeleine entered the room, Ruby threw herself into her arms and they embraced tightly, “Madeleine, you’ve finally come back.”

As she uttered these words, Ruby’s eyes began to glisten with a layer of moisture. Madeleine didn’t make a sound, only hugged Ruby back with all her might.
While in Oceania, she truly missed her childhood best friend, but now that they were reunited, there was an indescribable sense of emotion overwhelming her.
Steve Burton, Rusell Henris, Edward Woods, and Howard Coleman had all been playing cards out of boredom as they waited for Madeleine, and now that she had arrived, Edward Woods was the first one to throw down his cards and get up. He headed towards Madeleine, who had just walked in through the door.
Rusell and Steve followed closely behind, standing up one after another, leisurely following Edward towards the entrance.
Only Howard Coleman remained, still gripping the poker cards in his hand, sitting stiffly on the couch without any reaction.
Madeleine buried her head in Ruby’s shoulder and took a deep breath. When she looked up, she saw Steve, Rusell, and Edward standing behind her and Ruby, so she composed herself and, after parting from Ruby’s embrace, curled the edges of her lips and said to Ruby with a grin, “Ruby, long time no see.”
A layer of moisture shone in Ruby’s eyes as she gave Madeleine a warm smile, and her voice had a hint of reproach, “Madeleine, so you know it’s been a while.”
Madeleine gave an apologetic smile to Ruby before turning around and calling out to Steve, “Senior, I’m back.”
Steve didn’t speak but opened his arms. Madeleine walked forward and briefly hugged Steve, then one by one, she also embraced Rusell and Edward, exchanging greetings with each.
After greeting everyone, Madeleine noticed that Howard was absent.
Steve, Rusell, and Edward just happened to be blocking the view of Howard, who was sitting on the sofa behind them. Madeleine thought that Howard hadn’t come to her farewell dinner, and her expression faltered ever so slightly, a profound sense of loss sweeping over her.
Regardless of the pain in her heart, Madeleine still tried her best to maintain a faint smile. She stood there, waiting for the ache inside her to slowly fade away. Just as she was about to tell everyone standing in front of her to take their seats, Howard, who had been sitting on the couch, finally came to his senses. He tossed the poker cards onto the table and stood up, his body somewhat tense, with a mechanical stride, he moved towards her.
Before Madeleine could even start speaking, she saw Howard, wearing a dark blue suit, turn around from behind Rusell.
The words Madeleine was about to say were suddenly stuck in her throat.
At this moment, it was as if she were in a dream, her entire being becoming hazy.
During so many days and nights in Oceania, when she zoned out alone, his face would unwittingly appear in her mind.
The way he looked standing before her now, whether it was the eyes or the nose, was exactly the same.
It turned out she remembered him, so vividly.
Madeleine’s gaze was fixed on Howard in front of her, her fingers starting to tremble lightly.
[The second round of updates begins~ When I was writing Rusell and Edward’s dialogue, I truly felt nothing special, but after seeing everyone’s comments, I read it twice more, and then, damn, I’m convinced it’s you guys who are reading into it~ Some people say they can’t accept male-male relationships, but rest assured, I’m not going to write that. It’s just deep brotherly affection~ In the story of “Gu Jian Qi Tan,” even Su Su and the Senior have strong intimacies with women they deeply love. Isn’t that not a conflict?~]
