Madelyn turned around and saw Clement walk in carrying food. After a while, Dorian came in with a dozen beers, "Madelyn, you're finally back. How could | miss out on this?!" Madelyn responded, "Don't we still have to work overtime? Why are we drinking?" Dorian glanced at Clement before saying, "Recently, Clem and | have been sleeping in the studio. Our client's game is going to be launched by the end of the year. We've been putting in some extra effort for a while so that we can rest properly afterward.
Also, we're trying to make some money. Now that it's vacation time, the prices are going up. If | don't work hard to save up for a down payment on a property, I'l have difficulty finding a wife." Madelyn had never had any financial concerns. Clement and Dorian had always envied her wealthy family background and that she could easily buy property in the city center of Ventropolis, something others might struggle to achieve in a lifetime.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey only saw the outwardly glamorous aspects of Madelyn's life and were completely unaware of the extreme difficulties she was actually facing in her life.
Madelyn felt like she could only experience the life of ordinary people when she was with them.
She envied that they had their goals, since Madelyn had been living her life aimlessly.
In the past, she wanted to travel the world. She had already done that. Now, she could not think of anything else to wish for. She was just living her life without any purpose now.
Madelyn was allergic to alcohol, so she did not drink. Clement and Dorian were slightly drunk. They went back to their respective offices for a short nap.
The night was still very long. Madelyn suddenly found the scarf she had left behind in the studio back then. She wrapped the red scarf around her neck and went downstairs to see the snow.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe studio was located in a tech park for startups. There was a green space designed for relaxation downstairs. Madelyn was wearing a beige knitted dress and a woolen coat. She sat on a wooden bench under the light, allowing the snow to fall around her.
Madelyn extended her hand to catch the big snowflake falling from the sky. A snowflake fell on her eyelashes at the same time.
The snowflake quickly melted in her palm, She spoke out loud, "Ethan, it's snowing..." He was the only person whom Madelyn had fallen for, except for Zach.
With the experiences from what Zach had done to her in her past life, she had never cared about the existence of Donna, but she actually had some regrets regarding Donna.
She thought, "Why wasn't he more firm back then? If only he had chosen me every time between me and Donna!" In a nearby dark corner, there was a luxurious Rolls-Royce. The car window was partially opened. Zach's gaze was deep as he watched Madelyn. In the quiet snowy night, her voice was neither light nor loud. He could hear her words clearly.
Kevin heard Madelyn too.
