The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning By Max Charming chapter 345
If it was a materialistic sugar daddy relationship, it would have to be kept hidden. Yet, Madelyn was not only open about it, but now the newspapers were even reporting that Arnold Corporation and Azure Corporation had reached several major business deals. This meant that, having benefited from his daughter Madelyn’s involvement, Hayson had fully gained the favor of the Arnold family. Naturally, in front of Madelyn, no one dared to say anything unless they wanted trouble.
For some reason, Yvonne had not been to school for a long time, yet she still held a spot in the Math Olympiad training class.
As the exam time approached, Madelyn passed the time by reading a novel in Etlinish. Her tutor had mentioned that reading could help increase her knowledge. She used to struggle to even begin a novel, but now she could understand most of it. It was lunchtime, and Madelyn was eating her prepared lunch when Jadie came over, carrying a book in her arms.
“How’ve you been lately, Madelyn? Last time Zach and I went to the hospital to see you, the doctor said you’d left. We planned to visit you at the Arnold residence, but we never found the time. I’m sorry.”
Without lifting her head, Madelyn turned a page and said, “I’m fine. You and Zach don’t need to worry about me. Jadie looked at the book in Madelyn’s hands, filled with Etlinish text. “What book are you reading?”
“War and Peace.” “It’s not the right time to read these books. You haven’t been back to school for several days, so I took notes for you. You can have them to review.” Jadie said, not being able to help but worry for her. Madelyn said, “Thank you, I–”
“I’ll leave them here for now. I have to go to Math Olympiad training class.” Jadie left a notebook and walked away.
Madelyn did not get to finish her sentence; she wanted to say it was not necessary. She was determined to get the top spot in the Math Olympiad special training class exam. If she came first in the final Math Olympiad exam, she would get direct admission to Ventropolis University. She did not want to rely completely on the Arnold family.
“Hey, Madelyn.” Adrian showed up just as Jadie left, leaning against the window. “I’m talking to you.” Madelyn’s voice was icy. “What do you want?”
“I heard you and Ethan Arnold are a thing now. Is that true?” Without even looking up, Madelyn nonchalantly turned a page, using a pencil to mark the sentences she could not translate. “Yeah, we’re a thing.”
Adrian cast a quick glance at Forrest, who was leaning against the wall, before swallowing hard. “Like, officially dating?”
“Yep.” Madelyn gave a small nod. Deep down, Madelyn still felt somewhat insecure, but she was ultimately swayed by Ethan’s sincere promises. Both had past relationships they struggled to move on from. She had finally moved on from Zach, and Ethan had done the same with his past love. Ethan had assured her that he would be patient as she figured things out. Considering this, and the fact that life was unpredictable, it seemed worth taking a chance.
“Wow, how far have you guys gotten? Have you kissed or held hands yet?” Madelyn looked at him, a bit confused. “Why do you ask? That’s our business. It’s got nothing to do with you.”
Madelyn thought, ‘I can’t even read in peace here!’ She packed her bag, intending to head to the library for some quiet time. But Adrian continued, “As for Forrest, you led him on and then just dropped him. What’s up with that?”
Madelyn’s eyebrows furrowed. “Led him on? Why would I do that? And where did you get the idea that I dumped him?”
Adrian raised an eyebrow, extended a hand, and started counting on his fingers. “You tutored him, shared your notes with him, went out to eat, went shopping together…”
