The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning By Max Charming chapter 374
Madelyn left after waiting for fifteen minutes. As she got into the Arnold family’s car, she turned on her phone and
saw several messages from Ethan. When Madelyn was about to reply, a call came in suddenly. Nervously, she
pressed the answer button. “Father.”
It was a call from Hayson. He rarely called her personally. “I heard from Zach that you also received the invitation
to the Young family’s banquet?”
The voice over the phone spoke calmly as usual. Madelyn felt the pressure with just that short sentence. “Yes.”
“Mr. Arnold hasn’t come back yet, so he probably won’t make it to the banquet. Come back today and prepare for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtit. I’ll take you there tomorrow. It’s a good opportunity for you to meet a few uncles.”
“But…” Madelyn uttered the word like a faint murmur. She was unsure if he heard her, so she quickly changed her
tune and said, Alright, Father. I got it.”
Talking too much was no use anyway, since no matter the situation or the reason, Madelyn could not refuse
Hayson. She told the driver to change direction and return to the Jent family’s Southern Haven Villas. Once home,
she had the driver leave.
The Young family’s connections were not as vast as the Arnold family’s, but the attendees were all prominent
figures this time. Bringing Madelyn along was Hayson’s way of informing the entire Ventropolis circle about her
relationship with Ethan, thereby achieving his goals.
Previously, Ethan had considered taking Madelyn to various banquets, but she declined them all. It was just because
she did not want to go, and Ethan would never force her to do something she did not want to. However, Hayson
was different. Having grown up under this kind of pressure, she had no choice but to comply.
Back at the Jent residence, Madelyn noticed a table full of people already seated, seemingly waiting for her. Zach,
Jadie, and Jasmine were all there as well. Hayson’s gaze shifted toward her. “Go wash your hands and join us for
dinner.”
“Yes, Father.” Margaret took over her school bag. Jasmine stood up and served her a bowl of chicken soup. “How’ve
you been at the Arnold residence? It’s been a while, and you’ve become even more beautiful. Madelyn sat beside
Jasmine and smiled, saying, “Thank you.”
Suddenly, Hayson asked, “Did he tell you when he’ll return?” “He went to Marisburg for a week. The earliest he’ll
come back is the day after tomorrow,” said Madelyn. “Have you two slept together yet?”

also one particularly piercing and unsettling gaze that sent shivers down her spine. Without even looking, she knew
where that gaze was coming from.
Jasmine patted her on the back to ease her discomfort. “Look at what you’re saying. Madelyn’s still a child, and Mr.
Arnold is a sensible person. They probably haven’t done anything.”
Madelyn wished she could dig a hole and bury herself. ‘How could Father ask such a question during dinner? He
used to hate it when I talked at the dinner table.’
Madelyn also had her own thoughts. Trying to appear less nervous, “Occasionally.”
