The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn)

Her gentle voice disappeared in the loud fireworks. Many people came out to watch them.

Madelyn held a snowflake, which melted in her palm as she left.

She felt disconnected from the lights and the lively atmosphere behind her. She gradually walked further away from the noise.

Madelyn preferred to be alone rather than enjoying the lights. She had never liked being alone before. But now, she was all alone.

Madelyn wrapped her scarf tighter around her. She buried half of her face in it. After walking a short distance, she reached the lively streets.

Although it was in the middle of the night, many people were still walking on the streets. It was very crowded.

Madelyn remembered that in the past, people rarely hung out on the main streets of Ventropolis at this hour.

She lifted her head and saw the lively scene. After pondering for a moment, she turned around and decided to walk toward a quiet alley. The sound of fireworks behind her gradually faded.

Ablack car followed her from a safe distance. Madelyn lowered her head, thinking about something. She did not notice the car until the glaring high beam suddenly illuminated her from behind when she was about to enter a narrow alley.

However, she did not stop walking. She just continued walking toward an even darker area.

Madelyn ignored the honking of the car.

Then, in the darkness, Madelyn watched someone who had just passed her. Her eyes were extremely cold as she stared at his back.

Madelyn continued walking away in the direction opposite to him. The distance between them grew gradually.

She was lost in her thoughts, ‘Zach, although you have everything now, some things can never be found again, no matter how hard you look.

"I've already moved on. | stopped hating you a long time ago. In the past, | paid all my attention to you. When | look back, Zach, you're just ordinary." Madelyn took a taxi back to Southern Haven Villas.

When a maid saw her return, she exclaimed, "Mrs. Jardin, you're finally back! You should call Mr. Jardin immediately. He's very worried about you. He called home many times." Madelyn removed the scarf around her neck and brushed off the snowflakes and water droplets. Then, she hung it on the rack.

She looked worn out as she removed her coat. She walked tiredly, "Please make me a bowl of carrot ginger soup and bring it to my room." She supported herself on the handrail as she slowly walked upstairs. She had waited for a long time for the taxi just now. She was caught in the snow, and her hair was a little wet.

Since Zach was not back yet, Madelyn took the opportunity to shower in Dalton's room.

Dalton was already asleep in the baby's room while Margaret was leaning over the side of the bed. The sound of Madelyn switching on the light disturbed them. Margaret opened her eyes, "Oh my gosh, Ms. Jent? Why are you back so late?" Madelyn only switched on one lamp, "It's okay, I'm just going to shower. You can continue sleeping.” Margaret yawned as she looked at Dalton, who was still asleep. She quickly got up to prepare a sleeping gown for Madelyn.

A car swiftly stopped outside the entrance door, leaving a deep mark on the ground as the tires gripped the surface.

Zach got out of the car and noticed the lights were still on. He then entered the house and saw a maid heading upstairs, carrying a bowl of carrot ginger soup.

"Mr. Jardin, Mrs. Jardin is home. She's upstairs. This carrot ginger soup is for her." Zach took the soup and went upstairs.

Madelyn had just come out of the bathroom while drying her semi-wet hair. The door of the room was left open. When Margaret saw Zach, she quietly put down the hairdryer and left to give them some space.

Madelyn met Zach's chilly eyes. She noticed his gaze carried the intent of questioning, but she just casually looked away. She then noticed Zach placing the soup on the table from her peripheral vision. She pulled out a chair and said, "Thank you." Dalton was still sleeping. So, her voice was soft when she said that.

She draped a dry towel over her shoulders and just let her hair dry on its own.

Madelyn then drank the soup. When the phone near her hand vibrated, she quickly switched it to silent mode. She glanced at the group chat messages and thought, 'l remember | muted the group chat." She read the messages. Some of them were apologies to her.

Madelyn forgot what had happened. She assumed they mistakenly sent the messages. She did not care much about it.

"It's very late now. Do you need something?" Madelyn felt warmer after a few sips of the carrot ginger soup.

Zach stared at her intensely. He lifted his hand with his fingers trembling before putting it down again. He wanted to say something. But in the end, he just asked, "Did you have a good time today?" "Not bad. | was in the opposite room and heard that Jardin Corporation had closed a thirty-billion-dollar contract.

Congratulations. Many of my junior colleagues envy you and are eager to work at your company.” Madelyn quickly finished the soup. After putting down the spoon, she got up to brush her teeth. She walked past him to the bathroom. She noticed Zach was still in the room after brushing her teeth.

The calmer she appeared, the more emotions penned up in Zach— especially suppressed anger.

He preferred it if she showed some anger as that would mean his presence could still evoke her emotions, meaning she still cared about him.
