The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning By Max Charming chapter 481
The next morning, somewhere in a newspaper stated: [Randall Burton reportedly ingested caustic soda in the prison in an attempt to escape legal consequences. However, he consumed too much of the caustic soda, which led to his unexpected death.]
In the bustling streets, commuters rushed to catch the train with the same newspapers in their hands. However, no one paid too much attention to the inconspicuous news. Today was Friday, Madelyn woke up relatively late and had not gone out.
A servant grabbed the morning newspaper from the mailbox and put it on the tea table in accordance with Ethan’s habit. Madelyn, who was dressed in her school uniform, poured a glass of orange juice in the kitchen before walking out. She happened to see the newspaper and picked it up to glance at it. The servant said, “Mr. Arnold.”
Ethan was buttoning his sleeves as he walked downstairs in an upright posture. He was as handsome as ever, If you don’t want to go to school, you don’t have to. I can hire the best private tutor to come here. It’s the same studying at home.”
Madelyn responded, “It’s okay. I can’t just stay at home all day and do nothing.”
Madelyn saw the news about Randall. She continued to walk forward without changing her expression. She was not feeling any particular emotion. She was somewhat surprised by Randall’s death. She was then lost in her thoughts, ‘Wasn’t he sent to the hospital after being beaten up by Ethan? I thought it was said that he couldn’t be rescued.
‘I didn’t expect to read about him in the newspaper. Did Ethan send someone to do this? Ingested caustic soda? Could it be Zach?’ Madelyn quickly pushed aside these thoughts.
She went forward to adjust the brooch on Ethan’s chest. It had a red gemstone in the middle, framed by diamonds. The chain dangling in front of his chest made Ethan look even more dignified.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? “Ethan noticed Madelyn’s emotion was off. He stretched his hand to touch her forehead. She glanced at the newspaper on the tea table. Her expression was unreadable.
Madelyn responded, “It’s nothing. I’m just worried because the last time I returned to school, there happened to be a test, and the results are coming out today. I’m a little worried that I didn’t do well.”
Ethan comforted her by gently running his fingers through her hair, “Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. The money I’m making right now will be enough for our future.” Madelyn calmly nodded, “Okay. Let’s have breakfast now.”
Ever since she returned to school, she no longer had the same drive and determination as before. Instead, she had become more relaxed about everything. She skipped the morning self-study sessions and her speed of learning started to lag behind the students in Class One. Sometimes, she would even skip classes to draw in the art room and do whatever she liked.
Ethan was aware of her situation, but he never said anything to her and just allowed her to do as she pleased.
Every day, he would drop her off and pick her up from school on time. Each time they met, he would bring her different gifts. Sometimes it was a sunflower drawing, a highlighter pen with a nice color, or even a goldfish…
When they arrived at the school, many cars in the crowded driveway made way for Ethan’s car. His car was then parked in front of the school gate. Madelyn said, “I’ll get out of the car now. Remember to go to the hospital.”
Ethan responded, “Okay.” As Madelyn was about to get out of the car, Ethan stopped her, “Wait.”
“Yes?” Madelyn turned to look at him. He then leaned forward, carrying a refreshing scent, and kissed her on her forehead, “Call me if you miss me. Remember to eat.”
“Okay.” Madelyn’s ears were burning as she got out of the car.
The weather was as hot as her flushed ears.
“Madelyn, Madelyn…”
