Chapter 905: Chapter 905 The One He Loves is Back (Part 19)_1

Madeleine deliberately emphasized the words “brother and sister” because she wanted Howard Coleman to know that what she was doing was the same as him, merely bearing in mind the affection of growing up together from childhood, and nothing more.

It was truly sad. She had never imagined that her love for him would one day reach the point where she had to desperately make him feel that she didn’t love him.

Madeleine lowered her head, blinked her eyes, then turned away, continuing to face away from Howard.

All she had to do was lift her eyes, just lift her eyes, and she could see that the moment Howard heard the words “brother and sister” from her mouth, his face instantly turned pale.

Howard stared at the back of Madeleine’s head that she left him to view, pursed his lips, and after a long while, turned his head to gaze directly at the road ahead.

Brother and sister… so now all she felt for him was sibling affection… When he considered her as a sister, she loved him with all her might, and when he wanted to consider her as a lover, she had already given up on him and returned to being his sister as at the beginning.

Thinking about it, the relationship between him and her was indeed ridiculously messed up.

As the car neared Madeleine’s apartment, Howard, looking through the car window, saw a shop that specialized in late-night snacks. He remembered that Madeleine had hardly eaten anything at the dinner, hesitated for a moment, and then instructed the driver to stop the car.

Madeleine, who had been staring out the window in a daze, noticed the car stop and turned her head, looking at Howard with some confusion.

Meeting Madeleine’s gaze, Howard pursed his lips and asked, “Do you want to have some late-night snacks?”

After saying these words, Howard realized how familiar they sounded. He was stunned for a while before remembering that these were the exact words Madeleine had used the first time she asked him if he wanted some late-night snacks.

At that time, he didn’t think much about it, naively assuming that she was just trying to reconcile their relationship, offering snacks as a gesture of goodwill.

At this moment, as he uttered these words, he began to understand what her state of mind was back then.

It turned out that on that night they went to the banquet, she had been paying attention to him the whole time. She saw that he didn’t eat anything and was somewhat worried that he was hungry.

Once… once she had been really nice to him, he just hadn’t seen her kindness or, rather, had disdained to notice the care she showed him.

Madeleine knew in her heart that Howard’s words might not have had any other meaning, but she still couldn’t help feeling some joy inside.

She was always so pathetic. His casual words might have had no concern for her, but as long as she could imagine that he cared, she would be satisfied.

This man was the one she deeply loved; the closer she was to him, the more she pretended not to love him, and the more miserable she became.

Yet, before she could even voice her rejection, she had already nodded her head.

–

The late-night snack shop was somewhat crowded, and Howard stood at the entrance looking around before finding an empty spot. After seating Madeleine, he went to the front to order food.

Despite the crowd, the dishes were served quickly. In the sautéed lamb with scallion that Howard ordered, they had mistakenly added onions, which Madeleine detested eating.

So much so that she couldn’t even bear to look at them on the dining table.

Therefore, as soon as the dish was placed on the table by the waiter, Howard immediately spoke up, signaling for the waiter to take it away and throw it out.
