Chapter 436 “You've really come into your own, haven't you?” Zach stood 1.
Madelyn averted her eyes in panic and refused to look at the thing between Zach's legs. “Put your clothes on and get out.” Zach casually picked up the bedsheet from the floor and wrapped it around his lower body, revealing his perfectly toned upper body with six-pack abs. Then, he silently headed for the living room, surprising Madelyn with how easygoing he was today.
Madelyn quickly got out of bed and closed the door. Then, she went to her closet to put on her clothes. The sleeping pill she had taken made her almost forget how Zach had ended up in her bed.

After getting dressed, she walked to the living room to continue working on the unfinished painting. A few days ago, she had seen a notification about an art competition and decided to enter. Today was the deadline for submitting the draft, and the organizers would send someone to collect it at 7 pm.
‘There's only an hour and a half left.” Zach answered the phone by the windowsill. Madelyn had no time to pay him any attention. She had not eaten anything all day, so she grabbed a piece of toast from the side.
“The painting’s almost complete.’ Fortunately, she managed to finish it with less than half an hour to spare.
The smoke from outside wafted in through the window. However, little did Madelyn know that Zach had been staring at her painting the entire time. He did not understand art but even he could tell this painting was full of sunlight and hope.
Madelyn heard a knock on the door, thinking it must be someone from the organizers. She quickly dried and rolled up her painting, then opened the door. However, she only found Kevin holding a paper bag there.
Kevin did not seem surprised to see her. “Ms. Jent.” Madelyn asked, “What are you here for?” “I'm here to deliver clothes to Mr. Jardin,” Kevin answered.
Madelyn extended her hand. “He’s not available. Give them to me.” Zach's eyebrow raised slightly, and Kevin was surprised, wondering, ‘When did their relationship...” However, Kevin realized he was overthinking it. Madelyn took the clothes and casually threw them out of the third-floor window.
Kevin widened his eyes, “You...” Madelyn said nothing. She picked up the keys hanging by the door and left with the painting in hand.

“Ms. Jent threw them away. I'm going to find them now.” Zach watched as Madelyn held her painting and disappeared down the hallway, and his gaze became more contemplative.
Madelyn got downstairs and immediately ran into a man wearing a SkyTech uniform. She stopped him and asked, only to find.
out he was one of the organizers’ staff members.
The staff member handed her a registration form for the competition. After filling it out, Madelyn saw Kevin rush downstairs, presumably to retrieve the clothes. It was a petty act of revenge, but it improved her mood considerably.
After that, Madelyn decided to take a walk nearby, but she was unsure where to go.
