Chapter 475
There was freshly cooked cinnamon oatmeal on the coffee table, and Evelyn had a half–eaten bowl of it in front of
her.
“Do you know why I asked you to come back?” Evelyn got straight to the point.
Madelyn pursed her thin lips into a straight line and nodded. “I know.”
Evelyn asked, “So, what are your feelings towards Ethan now? Do you want to continue this relationship? I won’t
blame you if you’re disappointed in Ethan, and we won’t force you to stay. You’re willing to give Ethan some time,
which shows that you’re thoughtful and have a clear perspective. Based on this, I can tell you’re different from
other women.
“You’re more rational than most women, but Ethan also feels hurt because of your rationality. Sometimes, a bit of

that at least you care about him.”
Evelyn reached out and held Madelyn’s hand back. “Tell me, do you have feelings for Ethan?”
Madelyn nodded without hesitation. With a serious look, she said, “I always take matters of love seriously. George
has also told me some things about him. I understand that they met before me. It’s just that I’m not worthy of him.”
Evelyn smiled and patted her hand. She spoke with profound meaning, “Actually, I liked you from the moment you
entered the Arnold residence. I have a good sense of people’s character and can judge whether they are good or
bad. I don’t like beating around the bush or playing mind games with people, but I recognize right away when
others do it.
“I don’t mind telling you. I investigated your background before you came to the Arnold residence. I know you’ve
had a terrible life in the Jent residence and have a highly ambitious elder brother. Coming here to the Arnold
residence was undoubtedly a way for you to find support, which is a smart move. We have considerable influence in
Ventropolis, and no one dares to provoke us.
“Indeed, Ethan has done some foolish things in the past and is still the same now. Being alone for too long can
cause one to lose oneself and leave one not knowing what one really wants. After all, who hasn’t made some
foolish mistakes when they were young? Even if he made a mistake, he’s paid the price.
“My irresponsible son has never looked after him since Ethan’s birth. His mother was constantly drinking and would
be either physically or verbally abusive. Once, I was concerned and went back to mediate during their divorce
dispute. Who would have known that as soon as I entered the house, I saw a room full of shattered glass bottles
and a puddle of blood on the floor? Can you guess whose blood it was?”
Madelyn’s heart tightened. ‘Is this his childhood experience?‘
Evelyn continued, “At that time, he was only this little.” She gestured with her hand.

“When he was about five or six years old, he was locked in the basement. He was shivering from the cold and had
bruises all over his body from beatings. He was just a child! How could someone do that to a child?
“Later, I brought Ethan to my side and personally raised him. I did it out of good intentions but lacked the ability. I
can’t give him anything besides providing for his material needs. Due to the lack of parental love from a young age,
he’s grown up to be short tempered and impulsive without considering the consequences of his actions. He grew up
by my side since childhood, so I can see that he acts differently when it comes to you.”
Evelyn sighed deeply, “I’ve told you all this because I want you to return and give Ethan another chance. Go
upstairs and have a good talk with him. Whether it works out or not, feel free to visit the Arnold residence anytime.”
Out of politeness, Madelyn nodded in agreement. After Evelyn left, it seemed like the vast mansion was empty, with
only her remaining. She knew where Ethan’s room was. Hesitating for a moment, she still headed upstairs.
Coincidentally, a startled–looking servant hurried down from upstairs, holding medication in hand. When the servant
saw Madelyn, his eyes lit up. “Ms. Jent? You’re finally back.”
“What’s happened?”
The servant replied, “Mr. Arnold refuses to change his dressing, and I can’t do anything about it.”
