Chapter 755: Chapter 755: Fearlessly Blocking the Blade (5)
 

When Madeleine opened her bedroom door, she had expected to see a complete mess, but to her surprise, the room was quite tidy. The large bed was made with red sheets and quilts, with only a few wrinkles present. The carpet was clean, and she didn’t see any used contraceptives lying around.

Staring blankly for a moment, Madeleine went into the bathroom, took a casual shower to rinse off her sweat, changed into clean clothes, grabbed her purse and car keys, as well as the gifts she bought for The Triplets the night before, then left the bedroom.

Madeleine wasn’t startled that she didn’t see Howard at home when she returned. She assumed that he had left with those two women he’d been with, but as soon as she opened the bedroom door, she saw the door to his study across the hall also open, and Howard, wearing his pajamas, walked out.

Madeleine was immediately stunned. Was he actually home?

Upon seeing Madeleine appear out of nowhere, Howard’s expression didn’t change at all, still revealing a slightly mocking look. He simply glanced at her coolly, acting as if she didn’t exist, and walked over to the water dispenser to pour himself a cup of water, then raised his head and gulped it down.

Madeleine only snapped back to reality when Howard put down his cup. She knew that Howard had no interest in her daily activities, but still said, “It’s the weekend, so I’ll go to the West Suburb Villa, and on the way, visit the Triplets.”

Just as Madeleine expected, Howard didn’t even blink when he heard her words. Without looking at her, he walked straight back to his study.

Madeleine stood still for a few seconds watching the study door close, then grabbed her things and left the house.

Howard, who was sitting in the study, heard the sound of the door opening and closing outside. He then picked up his phone and called Edward Woods, saying, “Edward, where are you now, and with who? Great, I’ll be there shortly…”

When Madeleine arrived at The Burtons’ Mansion, it was already half past three in the afternoon. Mrs. Taylor was in the yard watering the flowers, and when she saw Madeleine’s car drive in, she immediately stood up, put the watering can aside, and hurriedly welcomed her.

As soon as the car stopped, Madeleine opened the door and stepped out. Mrs. Taylor said, “Miss Madeleine, you’re here?”

Madeleine smiled and replied, “Mrs. Taylor.”

Madeleine then opened the trunk of the car and took out the gifts she bought for the Triplets.

Mrs. Taylor hurriedly helped her.

Well-acquainted with The Burtons’ Mansion, Madeleine walked in and went straight to the second floor when she saw no one on the first floor. As soon as she reached the second floor, she heard the sound of a baby’s rattle coming from the nursery. She walked over, opened the door, and saw Ruby Gregory, Madam Burton, and Lady Gregory playing with the Triplets, along with three special carers.

“Madeleine is here?” The first to notice Madeleine was Lady Gregory.

Ruby then looked towards the door with Candice in her arms, and when she saw Madeleine, her lips curved into a smile. She stood up and said, “Madeleine.”

Madeleine walked over, took Candice from Ruby’s hands, played with her for a while, then checked on Chise and the other baby. Only after the Triplets fell asleep again did Madeleine and Ruby leave the nursery. Ruby originally wanted to invite Madeleine to visit Steve Burton’s room, but remembering the DNA paternity test hidden under the carpet, her mood turned slightly gloomy.
