Chapter 758: Chapter 758: Fearlessly Blocking the Blade (8)

Madeleine listened to the singing for a while before finally pulling at her lips and showing a smile to Ruby Gregory. She changed the subject, “Alright, let’s not ruin the atmosphere every time we meet because of me and Howard’s issues. There’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you, but I’ve always forgotten. Do you remember the promise we made back in middle school? If we ever have kids, we’ll be each other’s godmothers. Now that you have kids, you won’t go back on your word, right?”

“Of course not.” Ruby agreed to change the topic with Madeleine.

Madeleine beamed, as if she were genuinely happy to have gained three more children. She raised her glass and chugged some alcohol before saying with a teasing tone, “I didn’t expect that you and my brother would have triplets. Tell me, Ruby, were you two constantly in bed together when you were pregnant with The Triplets?”

Even though Ruby had given birth, her face still turned slightly red, “Madeleine, why are you asking these questions?”

“I’m learning from you! I want to have triplets too…no, better yet, quadruplets! That way, I can beat my brother!”

Ruby knew Madeleine was just joking, but when she heard this, she suddenly seemed to think of something and told Madeleine, “If it won’t work, just have a child. Seriously, a child can be the spice between a couple. Maybe if you have a child and Howard becomes a dad, he’ll stop fighting with you for the sake of his child.”

Madeleine’s face suddenly turned serious.

Ruby opened her mouth, “Don’t tell me Howard still makes you take emergency contraceptive pills every time?”

Madeleine nodded lightly.

Ruby’s expression turned angry. Perhaps it’s because Maya Mitchell had switched her birth control pills without her knowing, which made her extremely resentful towards contraceptives. She said, “It’s too much for Howard to do this. Emergency contraceptive pills are more harmful to the body. Isn’t he always afraid of Steve Burton? I’m going to tell Steve about this tonight!”

“Alright, Ruby, I know you’re looking out for me, but no one else can interfere with my issues with Howard. He already hates me. If I push him too far by demanding a child, our relationship could collapse,” Madeleine comforted Ruby, “Besides, don’t I already have three kids? The Triplets are so adorable!”

Ruby moved her lips but didn’t say anything. Deep down, however, Madeleine managed to persuade her to compromise.

Madeleine didn’t continue the conversation, just held the glass of wine and kept drinking one after another. In the end, she inexplicably started crying and looked at Ruby, whispering, “Ruby, I like him, I really like him. I like him so much that I’m afraid to let him know because I fear he won’t like me back.”

After hanging up her call with Steve yesterday, Maya Mitchell sat in her own home all flustered, still thinking that there was no way she would give up easily in her feud against Ruby. She would rather shatter like a precious gem than remain whole like a mere tile!
