The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning By Max Charming chapter 225
Yvonne yelled at him, “What are you laughing about!?” Alex immediately denied it, “No, I wasn’t laughing. I just choked a little.”
Yvonne ignored her, placed the beet and kale salad before Zach, and said, “You should try and see if it’s cold… If it is… I’ll have the kitchen make another one.” She was copying what Madelyn said.
Madelyn lowered her head, ears red with embarrassment. She was acting like this to try and get him to eat more because of what George had said…
Ethan’s condition was worsening, and he stopped using his antidepressants. He was also eating much less every day. Ethan had helped her a lot, and Madelyn was grateful to him. Hence, Madelyn could not refuse such a small request, even if it was in front of Zach.
Everyone has their own unique personality, after all. Madelyn could not stay like a puppet under his control, listening to his every command. At half past nine, Jadie told Zach, “Zach, I’m a little tired. Can we go home now?”
Zach raised his wrist to look at the time, “It’s getting quite late. Let’s go back!” His tone was slightly colder than usual.
Jadie only ate a little because she was lost in thought, thinking about something unknown. Ethan then said to Madelyn, “We should definitely go home. You still have class tomorrow, SO
I’ll send you home.”
Yvonne quickly interjected, “Ethan, you should fetch Madelyn home! I came in Mr. Jardin’s car, so I’ll have him send me home now!”
She quickly held onto Zach’s arm. Ethan stared at Madelyn as if waiting for her answer. She retracted her gaze and said hesitantly, “T-That should be fine!”
Yvonne concluded, “Then, it’s settled then.”
Madelyn said, “Alex, I’ve already helped you call for a chauffeur to send all of you home. Be careful on the way back.”
Alex had overeaten while a few of them were lying on the chairs to rest. Alex replied, ‘We know. You’re nagging too much.”
After that, Madelyn left with Ethan as they walked to the exit. It was going to take a while for Leyton to drive the car out from the underground garage.
The wind blowing around was a little cold, but a coat swiftly appeared over Madelyn’s
shoulders,
Madelyn turned around and saw Ethan’s smoke-gray suit. She said, “You’ve already left a lot
of clothes at my place. I’m not that cold, anyway. You should put it on for now!”
The corner of Ethan’s lips pulled into a light smile which warmed her a little, “I’m fine. You can return the clothes in the future.”
Madelyn left it at that. Suddenly, she felt something in the coat pocket, so she reached into it.
“What is this?”
She took out a pack of cigarettes and a metal lighter. The lighter seemed to be the same brand as the one Zach used, but the color was different.
“You still haven’t fully recovered yet. Don’t smoke so much from now on! I’ll keep this for you for now. I’ll return it to you when you get better.”
“Whatever you say,” Ethan replied.
He noticed that even though he had heard these words so many times before, having Madelyn say it made him want to jump for joy. Madelyn would always have a special place in his heart.
‘She finally looked at me and she’s not trying to avoid me anymore! Madelyn… how nice it would be if you stayed like this. All this affection only for me!’ Ethan thought.
“Are you still taking your medication? Why didn’t you bring it with you?” Madelyn asked him.
