The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 516
Ethan smiled and nodded, “Mhm. I’ll always support you no matter what… Mrs. Arnold to-be!”
The two chatted for a while. They talked about what they would eat the next day, the engagement trip they would have after Madelyn’s graduation and many other things.
By the time Ethan lowered his head to look at her, she had already fallen asleep. However, Madelyn seemed like she was not having a restful sleep. Her eyebrows were furrowed, and her long dark hair covered her face.
Ethan moved her hair out of her face and kissed her on the lips. Then, he gently carried her upstairs to the master bedroom. For the past few days, the two had practically been staying together and sleeping on the same bed. They did nothing more than hugging and cuddling, but Ethan already felt content just doing so.
‘She’s still young. I’ve already waited this long, so I can wait a little longer,’ he thought. In the middle of the night, Madelyn woke up with her clothes drenched in sweat. Ethan’s arm was tightly wrapped around her waist, and her back was pressed against his chest.
Madelyn did not want to wake him up, so she carefully slipped out of bed and returned to her room. After she took a cold shower and changed out of her clothes, she felt much better. She wore a long tee-shirt that revealed her long legs.
Suddenly, her phone that was charging on the bedside table rang. Madelyn was curious as to who would call her at such an hour, thinking it might be Mya. She dried her hair with one hand while checking her phone with the other.
When she saw the caller ID, she dropped her phone in shock.
Madelyn had no intention of answering the phone. Just as she was about to decline the call, she saw a bright light peeking through the gap of her curtains. She stared at the light pouring in from the gaps of her curtains as her heart began racing wildly in terror.
Madelyn could not help but slow down her pace as she walked over to the windows. She drew open the curtains and saw a familiar car parked at the entrance.
‘Is he crazy?! This is the Arnold residence, How’d he dare to come here? she thought. The phone stopped ringing, and there promptly was a text notification.
Zach: [Come down.]
Madelyn did not respond and stared fixedly at her phone as the terror she felt toward him began to creep back in.
Two minutes later, she received another text message. Zach: [Don’t make me wait. You have three more minutes.]
Madelyn typed a reply with her trembling fingers.
[I’m not going down.]
She deleted and typed those few words over and over again, but did not send the message. Madelyn had her heart in her throat, as if she could hear her thumping heart in the quiet room.
The passing minute felt like an eternity to Madelyn. Eventually, she mustered up the courage to hesitantly type up a response and finally sent him a reply.
[Now isn’t a good time. He’s in my room. You should go back. There’s nothing to talk about between the two of us. Please don’t come here again.]
Madelyn sent the text message and immediately blocked the number before he could respond. Meanwhile, Zach was in his car downstairs with the headlights still on. He stared dangerously at the window upstairs until the lights inside went out.
Zach curled his lips into an indecipherable smile.
