The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 1188
Laughter echoed through the ward. Cecilia said, “Madelyn is truly useless. She’s gotten a second chance at life. She wanted to change, but what did she manage to change? The Jent family fell, Hayson died, you’re by my side, and Jardin Corporation remains mine. As long as I find the will you left for Madelyn, I’ll nip it in the bud before you wake up. Even in this lifetime, I’ll ensure you two can never be together again.”
Cecilia leaned in, whispering slowly into Zach’s ear, “This is payback for what you owed me in the past life.”
For some reason, Blake’s eyelid suddenly twitched when she pushed the shopping cart. A sudden rush of anxiety filled her heart, giving her a bad feeling. She rarely experienced this kind of foreboding. Whenever she did, it usually meant something unfavorable was about to happen.
Blake spent a calm evening with Kevin, which was rare. She bought a bunch of ingredients, planning to make a candlelit dinner that night. She even opened a bottle of Kevin’s stored precious La Romanee Conti from the wine cabinet for the occasion.
A bottle of La Romanee Conti cost around eight or nine hundred thousand, and Blake had only seen it in magazines. There were only a few bottles of this vintage available in the market. She poured a glass of wine to cook the steak. Kevin looked at it without feeling a pang of regret.
When Kevin returned, he went straight to the study, leaving Blake alone in the kitchen, bustling about.
Ding-dong!
The doorbell rang, and Blake remembered she had ordered a bouquet of roses. She went to open the door, finding the delivery person had arrived.
Blake wiped her wet hands with her apron. Looking at the vibrant red roses, she placed them in a vase and positioned the vase in the middle of the table. There were also two white candles on the golden candlestick holder.
An hour later, Kevin walked out of his study with a water glass. Seeing the living room filled with ambiance, he felt emotionally uneasy. His eyebrows furrowed, and he asked, “What are you up to again?”
Blake took off her apron and turned off the stove. “You’re just in time for dinner. Wait a moment. I’m going to change into something else.”
Kevin watched, his heart swirling with indescribable emotions. However, it was not as calm as he had imagined. This feeling was unlike anything he had experienced before.
Blake did not want to keep Kevin waiting for too long. She hurriedly took a shower, blow-dried her hair, and changed into an alluring, feminine long dress. She styled her long hair into loose curls with a curling iron and applied slightly bolder makeup than usual in front of the mirror. Adding the final touch of lipstick, the reflection of Blake in the mirror looked like a completely different person.
Actually, Blake could be beautiful. Accustomed to her casual demeanor, she rarely exhibited the shy and coy appearance she had now. She wore high heels and walked to the study. Kevin heard the sound, shifted his gaze from the work computer, and fixed his eyes on the entrance where the seductively dressed Blake stood. Kevin’s gaze deepened, and they silently locked eyes for a moment. However, Kevin uttered a somewhat mood-killing remark, “Are you going out?”
Blake instantly dropped the seductive pose. She stomped over, plopping herself onto Kevin’s lap. “Take a closer look at me. What’s different about me today?”
Kevin stared at her face for a long time, then used his rough thumb to wipe her lips. Blake immediately widened her eyes. “I spent a long time doing my makeup. What are you doing?”
Kevin said, “There’s something dirty.”
