The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning By Max Charming chapter 60
On the other side of the lake, a small group of people approached, and Timothy was among them. From a distance, he spotted Madelyn sitting there, engaged in conversation with a guy in a wheelchair. However, due to the distance, he couldn’t make out their words. He only observed the occasional smiles on Madelyn’s face, radiating pure joy.
Jadie walked alongside the group, accompanied by her roomtnate, Claire Yelton. The two girls strolled together, while Forrest and others followed behind. Claire marveled at the surroundings, exclaiming, “Wow, this is Ventrocloud High School! It’s absolutely beautiful! The swan lake is even bigger than our school’s football field, right, Jadie?”
“It’s definitely big. If I didn’t know the way, I might have gotten lost,” Jadie replied with a hint of humor.
Timothy nudged Adrian with his elbow, signaling him to look in that direction. Adrian followed Timothy’s gaze and also spotted Madelyn. He felt curious about the man beside her. He wondered, ‘Who is that guy? How come I’ve never seen him before? Could it be that Madelyn knows Forrest isn’t interested in her, so she found a replacement? But even if she found a replacement, why choose someone who isn’t fully abled? She seems a bit silly, doesn’t she?!
“I really appreciate you taking the time to talk with me,” Madelyn said gratefully.
At that moment, George approached and leaned down, whispering something in Ethan’s ear. Ethan glanced in a particular direction and furrowed his brows slightly before saying, ” Alright.”
Following that, he cast a warm and gentle gaze at Madelyn, resembling a sunny spring breeze. “I’m sorry, something urgent has come up, so I won’t be able to accompany you.”
Madelyn waved her hand dismissively. “It’s okay, really… I should be the one thanking you.”
“Well, then… I’ll take my leave,” Ethan said, his eyes brimming with affection, and a playful smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
“Alright, take care,” Madelyn replied, standing up and watching Ethan depart. As she saw him. vanish from sight, she found herself thinking, ‘I never expected to meet him here at Ventrocloud High. I thought he was the same age as me, but it turns out he’s three years older. But talking to him feels so comfortable…”
Madelyn shifted her gaze away and began gathering her belongings, preparing to leave.
Serena somehow managed to find her and approached, holding a bottle of milk in her hand. Madelyn looked at Serena, who was drenched in sweat, and realized Serena must have gone out of her way to the store to buy it for her.
“Madelyn… I genuinely want to be friends with you… I’m not like them. Can we be good friends? I can apologize for what happened today. I’m sorry,” Serena pleaded.
Serena herself couldn’t be considered conventionally attractive. She had an average appearance, with chubby cheeks adorned with freckles. However, due to her family’s influential presence within the school, no one would dare to bully her. Despite this, her presence often went unnoticed, and she seemed to fade into the background.
Madelyn, on the other hand, was different. She inherited her beauty from her mother.
Standing beside Madelyn, Serena appeared meek and submissive, while Madelyn seemed like the one bullying her. When Madelyn wore an expressionless face, she emitted an aura that made people cautious about approaching her.
However, when Madelyn smiled, it was as if she could enchant others. Consequently, she often. chose to maintain a cold demeanor.
Holding the bottle of milk, Madelyn pursed her lips and spoke, “Serena, I’m accustomed to being alone, and… I don’t plan to remain in Ventropolis after graduation. It’s possible that I’ll relocate to Lorville. True friendship requires time and effort to maintain, and if we don’t have that time, we may end up as strangers in the end.”
