The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning By Max Charming chapter 149
Madelyn stepped onto the tiled floor where the melted snow had just been. A gust of cold wind blew, and she started coughing again.
She walked into the library, taking a seat in her usual spot. ‘My only chance now is to get into Ventropolis University and qualify for the student exchange program. Perhaps if Hayson sees my effort, he’ll change his mind. A daughter doesn’t need to be a marriage tool; I can support the Jent family too.”
Outside the large window, the snow began to fall heavily. Madelyn’s studious reflection, with her long hair cascading down, was mirrored on the glass. After completing a few tests, she felt hungry. Realizing it was indeed lunchtime, she was about to have her lunch when suddenly, a message popped up.
Ethan: [Madelyn, I’ve prepared a gift for you. I hope you’ll like it.]
Remembering Zach’s advice, Madelyn did not reply to Ethan’s message and deleted all their previous conversations.
‘If I hadn’t gone through all that, maybe we’d be good friends now. I should’ve recognized him when we first met. Ethan, he’s truly kind. At least, I don’t regret saving him. Helping him, it’s the best thing I’ve ever done.”
Ethan had shown her a lot of kindness, and she believed it. He kept her company, was there. when she was sad, went to art shows with her, and they shared little secrets.
Zach was mean, always looking sad, and was really tough. When he used to do bad things with Hayson, he did many scary things to get what he wanted.
Ethan had finally gotten better from his leg injury, but Zach could hurt him again without anyone knowing. Zach was careful and never told anyone his plans. Madelyn did not want to hurt someone who did not do anything wrong.
‘Ethan, I don’t think we’ll see each other again. Goodbye, Ethan.’
Madelyn stood up and stretched. After Rosario left, the food made by Margaret was not as good. She did not eat much at home, sometimes she did not eat anything. She had some snacks and bread in her bag, so she just ate some.
While munching on the bread, a new book was suddenly thrown onto the table in front of her. Madelyn jumped in surprise. Looking up at the person in front of her, she asked, “What are you doing here?”
Forrest leaned back in his chair, pointing to the book in front of him. “Exams are coming up, tutor me,” he said.
Madelyn thought it was silly. ‘Forrest doesn’t like me and now he wants me to tutor him?’

“I’m sorry, I don’t have time. Ask Jadie,” Madelyn said, not looking up from her work. When she did glance up, Forrest was giving her a stern look. “Forrest, I’ve been avoiding you. I even switched classes. We won’t see each other much anymore. I have too much to do in the next six months. If you really want to get better grades, ask Jadie. Don’t make things hard for yourself. I can’t teach you.”
Forrest smirked. “You’re heartless, Madelyn. Did a dog eat your heart? Just like Hayson.” He picked up his book and left.
Watching him go, Madelyn was puzzled. ‘What’s up with him?
