The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning By Max Charming chapter 271
At this moment, Leyton stepped up and said, “Sir, we’re running out of time.” After placing the necklace on Madelyn, Ethan gazed at the moon-shaped pendant resting on her chest and grinned with joy. “Madelyn, I’m going to head back to the office for now. You relax at home, and I’ll catch up with you later tonight.”
“Okay,” said Madelyn and watched Ethan leave. George also hoped that Madelyn would stay. Ethan’s illness hardly got better. The Arnold family tried their best, but they believed he wouldn’t live for more than a few months. Fixing physical problems was easy, but healing emotional wounds needed time. Ethan was probably the only one who could help himself live a regular life.
‘Compared to Mr. Arnold’s ex, I wish Madelyn stays by his side from now on! George thought as he said, “Mr. Arnold has a room ready for you. Please follow me.” Madelyn followed George and rode the elevator to the fifth floor. They stopped in front of an open room.
“Ms. Jent, this is your room. Mr. Arnold’s room is next door. We thought you might not feel used to being here, so everything is set up just like your place.”
Madelyn looked around, noticing even the painting was in the same spot. ‘Did they bring all my things from my home? Did they even move the bed?’ George continued, “There’s also a walk -in closet. If you don’t like this style, we can change it anytime.”
“Thank you,” Madelyn said. “No problem. Get a good rest, Ms. Jent. Let me know if you need anything.”
“Okay,” Madelyn replied. When George left, she entered the room and looked around. It was bigger than her room at the Jent house. But Madelyn didn’t really feel like admiring it.
‘Ever since I left the Jent residence, something’s been bothering me. I’m not sure if it’s all in my head.’ Suddenly, Madelyn heard voices. “Did you see the lady just now? Is she the one Mr. Arnold used to date?”
“I don’t think so. Her face is covered in rashes. I don’t know what’s wrong with her. Mr. Arnold’s ex caused him a lot of pain and left for abroad. It can’t be her.” “But this is the first time I’ve seen him bring a lady home.”
“Yeah, wonder which family she’s from. ‘Ethan’s ex? Is that who George talked about? I saved him when he risked his life for her, and it looks like fate!’ Madelyn thought. She didn’t feel jealous at all. ‘I saved Ethan’s life, and he helped me escape the Jent family. We’re even now.’
As night fell, the Arnold house lit up. The balcony on the fifth floor offered a view. Madelyn should’ve greeted the hosts as a guest, but it was late afternoon, and nobody had disturbed her. ‘Maybe Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Sr. doesn’t know I’m here. That’s fine for me too. I’ve always been afraid of dealing with trivial things.’
Madelyn went down for dinner, and the servant brought the last bowl of soup. Miss, Mr. Arnold prepared all this based on your likes. They’re mild in taste, and there’s walnut cake too. Give it a try.”
Madelyn looked at the table full of delicacies. There was so much, she couldn’t eat it all. “Next time, fewer please. I can’t finish all this.”
“Don’t worry, Miss. If there’s leftover food, we’ll use it for the animals on the ranch. No waste.” “There’s a ranch here?”
“Yes! Pigs, cows, sheep-raised here. The meat in the kitchen is from them. Mrs. Arnold Sr. grows vegetables, fruits, and wheat too. This meal is from her garden.”
“Really?” Madelyn was surprised.
“Yes.” With that explanation, Madelyn got curious. Ethan’s grandparents were once important in Ventropolis. After retiring, they seemed to enjoy a peaceful life.
