The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning By Max Charming chapter 403
As soon as Madelyn arrived at the school, many classmates greeted her. Even Mya asked her about what happened last night. She did not expect that just because she had not gone home for the night, many people would know about it.
Other than Mya, many people that Madelyn had never interacted with before pretended to be concerned and asked if she was fine. The Math Olympiad competition was around the corner. Madelyn did not want to dwell on certain matters. She just wanted to focus on her own matters.
In the SereneCare Hospital, Donna was eating fruits as she repeatedly made phone calls. She pondered, ‘I know Ethan doesn’t always mean what he says. It appears that he doesn’t care about me. But deep down, he still cares.
‘He merely used the Madelyn girl to make me angry. Or else, he wouldn’t have stayed here until so late last night. If the first time doesn’t count, what about the second time?
‘Is it so difficult for him to admit he still has feelings for me? I won’t lose the three-year bet if Ethan agrees to marry me. After all, our past is so memorable. He won’t so easily just forget about it!’
When Ethan woke up, it was already three-thirty in the afternoon. After he checked the time, he walked out of the room and smelled the aroma of food. Leyton greeted him, “Mr. Arnold.”
Ethan stared at the food on the table. Leyton continued, “Ms. Jent prepared these for you. She came back at noon. She saw you were still sleeping and didn’t want to disturb you. She made these for you before she left.
“Here’s your phone. Ms. Jolie called this morning. I didn’t answer it. But…” Leyton paused before he pursed his lips and said, “Ms. Jent saw it. She took your phone out of the room to avoid disturbing your sleep.”
Ethan had already canceled his previous phone number. He did not save Donna’s number either. He did not know how Donna managed to get his phone number and even deleted the message Madelyn sent him.
Ethan’s eyes turned gloomy. A hint of panic flashed past his eyes before he quickly regained his composure. He responded, “Did she say anything?” Leyton shook his head, “She didn’t.”
Ethan felt an indescribable sense of disappointment. Leyton did not know what Ethan was thinking. He put a set of cutleries and a bowl on the table and said, “Mr. Arnold, please have your meal.”
Ethan sat down. He was distracted due to a headache. He responded, “Leyton, do you think Madelyn is with me because she likes me, or is it merely because she doesn’t want to lose me as her protector? Logically speaking, she should be angry, right? Why did she act like she didn’t care?”
It was indeed a difficult question for Leyton. After all, he had never really been in love. He once had a brief relationship back in his university days. But the girl broke up with him because he was too cold and boring.
He joined the Arnold Corporation for an internship after he graduated. He then worked his way up to the position of the CEO’s assistant. He had to be on call twenty-four hours a day. So, he hardly had time to do any personal things, let alone dating.
Leyton responded, “I’m not really sure about that. But I think you can clarify things with Ms. Jent regarding this matter. I’ve read that if two people really love each other, there shouldn’t be any secrets between them. You can find the right time to tell Ms. Jent about everything so she won’t start imagining things. Otherwise, you and her will grow apart!”
Ethan felt Leyton made sense. He took a deep breath and pinched his eyebrows, ‘Maybe I’m overthinking.’ Right then, Donna called Ethan again, causing his phone to vibrate.
