Chapter 832: Chapter 832 Time of Stunning Beauty: The Wedding (Finale 2)_1
Howard Coleman saw the text message and his grip on the phone unconsciously tightened; his expression became slightly confused. After a while, he regained his composure, placed the phone on the dining table next to him, bowed his head as if nothing had happened, and continued to eat.
Madeleine’s attention had been on Howard’s phone the whole time. She clearly saw that Howard hadn’t moved his fingers and didn’t reply to Anita Madris’s text message. Her mood, which had been gloomy all day, finally improved a little.
After the late-night meal, Madeleine carelessly threw the dishes in the sink and went back to the bedroom. Howard was sitting on the sofa watching TV. Saying he was watching TV was actually an overstatement as Howard was just flipping through channels with the remote, never really paying attention to what was on the screen.
Madeleine didn’t disturb Howard and quietly sat on the edge of the bed, staring at him.
She could tell that at this moment, the man was restless.
Howard scrolled through all the TV channels from start to finish, then turned off the TV, casually throwing the remote onto the coffee table before striding into the bathroom.
...
After Howard took a shower, he climbed directly into bed, pulled up the covers, covered himself, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep.
Madeleine turned her head to look at Howard for quite some time before she got up, turned off the lights in the main bedroom area, and then entered the bathroom.
After her shower, Madeleine gingerly climbed into bed, lying next to Howard.
The bed was rather large, and there was a noticeable distance between her and Howard.
The man was quiet as if he had already fallen asleep.
But Madeleine had not a hint of sleepiness. She lay with her eyes open, staring at the ceiling. After a while, Howard’s phone chimed continuously several times.
Madeleine turned her head to glance at Howard. The man with his eyes closed, lay there calmly for about a minute before stretching out his hand to feel for his phone.
Anita Madris had sent another picture message and text. In the MMS, she appeared flushed from drinking, with several empty bottles around her, including wine, red wine, and liquor… The text message read, “Howard, I’ve already drunk so much…”
Howard knew Anita’s capacity for alcohol; a woman who had drunk that much would be tipsy by now.
Mix Bar was a nightspot, always chaotic, and many men specifically went there to find inebriated women to take home.
The first time he met Anita Madris was in Mix Bar. At that time, she had come for a friend’s birthday party. He saw her in the restroom, where she was quite sick from drinking and surrounded by two men with ill intentions.
He stepped forward to help her out of the situation, and they exchanged phone numbers. Later, he found out that she was an employee at Pristine’s Enterprises.
Howard, holding his phone, felt a slight struggle within himself.
After all, she was the woman he deeply loved. Could he really just stand by and do nothing?
Yet, if he went to her…
In Howard’s mind, Madeleine’s image suddenly emerged again.
He couldn’t help turning his body with a hint of irritation.
Although Madeleine hadn’t looked at the phone, she knew the text must’ve been from Anita. Otherwise, Howard wouldn’t be so troubled, tangled in his thoughts.
PS: That’s all for today~~~ The countdown to the grand finale~~ Will Howard go to see Ms. Madris? Also, many students mentioned they won’t be able to read when school starts. May I ask when everyone is starting school~~~~
