The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning By Max Charming chapter 415
‘Because I already know what I want. I want to accept the affection and protection he gives me. Humans are selfish creatures… I know what awaits me if I return to the Jent family without Ethan. That’s why I can play dumb even if he still has lingering feelings for Donna.
Currently, I need Ethan, whether it’s using him or merely treating him as my emotional support. But I don’t feel guilty toward him because I genuinely want to like him and be with him,’ Madelyn thought.
She lamented, ‘But this is under the premise that I can accomplish my plans. Even if we part ways in the future, I won’t need to rely on others. Equity was never a part of the equation. In the future, Ethan will only see the Madelyn I want to show him. Relationships and marriages are the same. One cannot stop the other if they want to cheat.’
“No worries. I’ll get used to it eventually. Besides, I rarely leave the house. I spend most of my time at school. If anything, I’ll just ignore what others say.”
Madelyn acted mature and knew how to make Ethan happy. She glanced at the empty living room, She left?” “Yep. She has dementia and tends to wander around at night. I had Marta send her home,” replied Ethan.
“Is that so? She seems pretty lucid. I didn’t expect her to have dementia,” Madelyn said as she pushed him away. She continued, “I won’t be making the cinnamon oatmeal then. I’ll go back to my room and finish my homework. I’ve still got a bit more before I’m done.”
“Alright.”
Madelyn smiled slightly, “You should get some rest, too.”
“Mhm,” Ethan grunted in response. Ethan watched Madelyn as she went. upstairs, and his gaze darkened. He would rather she remained upset with him than act indifferent. At least then, he could tell she cared.
Just then, Ethan’s phone rang. He unlocked his phone to see a photo. The person on the other end sent an address before he could even send a reply. Madelyn returned to her room upstairs. She stood before the window and saw a car driving out of the residence.
‘What’s he doing going out this late at night?’ she wondered. Ethan glanced at the figure in the rearview mirror and then back at his phone. He felt a slight hesitance before he eventually sped off.
Meanwhile, Donna was at Supreme World. She was curled up in a corner, battered and bruised. Someone threw a bucket of icy water at her face, smudging her smokey eye makeup.
Another crushed her phone under their foot. The man leered at her damp, exposed chest and smirked, “Hah! How could someone like you know Ethan Arnold? Do you know who he is? Stop daydreaming. I’m telling you, it’s either you pay up or stay here and repay with your body. With those looks of yours, you’ll settle the debt within three to five years.”
“Boss, we’ve got news from the higher- ups. Someone’s interested in her.”
