How could she forget that if Steve Burton came second in being closed-off and moody, no one would dare claim the title of first place in the world.

It was clear that Steve wanted to know how Ruby Gregory was doing now, but he couldn’t find a good excuse to go to the Gregorys’, nor could he swallow his pride and tell Madeleine to go directly, so he reminded her in such a roundabout way.

Madeleine thought about it and couldn’t help but chuckle, which made Steve look up and glare at her fiercely. Madeleine immediately stopped laughing and pretended to be clueless, then said, “I’ll go visit Ruby tonight.”

Lady Gregory had been hoping that Steve would come to see Ruby, but she didn’t expect that after waiting for ten days, it would be Madeleine who would come instead of Steve.

Although Lady Gregory was disappointed, she still warmly welcomed Madeleine.

Since Madeleine had many private words to share with Ruby, she politely chatted with Lady Gregory in the living room for a while before going up to Ruby’s room together.

From Edward Woods’ account, Madeleine had learned about Ruby’s accidental fall at the company banquet, and now, looking at the faint scar on Ruby’s forehead, she thought about how Edward had vividly described Steve’s excitement and anxiety as he carried Ruby to the hospital that day. Madeleine couldn’t help but lean in mysteriously and asked, “Ruby, have you and my brother made up completely now?”

Just as Lady Gregory was about to open the door with a plate of fruit, she heard Madeleine’s words and subconsciously stopped her movement.

Made up completely?

Thinking of the contraceptive pill Steve still gave her, Ruby only felt ironic. The smile on her face that had been there since seeing Madeleine suddenly faded, and she lowered her eyes.

Seeing Ruby’s silent and melancholic expression, Madeleine suddenly felt a pang of regret.

How could she be so careless?

If they had truly made up, why did Steve call her on the night Ruby was injured, asking her to notify the Gregorys’, instead of staying at the hospital himself?

Madeleine smiled awkwardly and then said, “Ruby, you know my brother’s character. Actually, sometimes he doesn’t really mean what he says deep down…”

“Madeleine, you’ve been on a business trip abroad for so many days, you must have bought a lot of stuff, right? What did you buy?” Without waiting for Madeleine to finish, Ruby immediately interrupted her.

In this world, no one understood Ruby better than Madeleine. She knew that Ruby would only avoid talking about a person when she was holding a grudge against them.

Madeleine paused for a moment before asking, “Ruby, are you mad at my brother?”

“What has my brother done?”
