The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 676
Zach arrived at exactly twelve o’clock. The maids prepared the food on time too. Zach would usually eat in the company cafeteria, so Madelyn knew exactly why he had come all the way here today.
Zach took out his suit and sent all the maids away upon entering the villa, leaving Madelyn alone inside. The maids had prepared plenty of dishes.
Zach noticed the teacups on the table, which the maids had forgotten to clear. Then, his gaze grew hostile. “Someone came here today.”
Madelyn sat at the dining table and answered truthfully after eating a few bites of the food. “It was Yvonne. There was something I wanted to ask her about.”
Then, Zach saw the nail marks on her arm. “What was it? Why didn’t you just ask me instead?
“Does it hurt?”
“I’m fine. Let’s eat,” Madelyn said. Zach put a piece of chicken on her plate, and the way they interacted with each other looked exactly like a married couple. “It’s been three days. I need an answer.”
“I can stay, but you can’t touch me,” Madelyn replied. Zach reacted as if he just heard a joke. ” Do you know what’s the most attractive part of you?
“…It’s your body, Maddie! There’s nothing more tempting than that.”
Suddenly, Madelyn lost her appetite and found the food unappetizing, You have a wife, and what you’re doing is unfair to her.” She took out the invitation card Yvonne gave her earlier as she spoke. “She wanted me to attend your wedding, and I agreed.
“If you consider me as your little sister, then please stop doing things that would hurt her. Yvonne will become my sister-in-law soon.”
“Do you want me to marry her?” Zach asked.
“Would you even listen to me if I said no?”
“Why not?”
“Zach Jardin, how could you take marriage so lightly? Yvonne has sacrificed so much time on you, and this is how you treat her? She’s a human being too. What you’re doing is not right at all!”
Zach held her face, seemingly unconcerned at all as he said, “I don’t care about all that. Maddie, you know me. No one can ever force me to do something I don’t want to do. It’s just a ceremony, nothing to be concerned about.”
“Zach, you’re heartless. You’re going to spend the rest of your life by yourself.” Madelyn got so angry that she slammed her fork on the table.
To Madelyn, Zach’s action was no different from what an animal would do. She stood up, not wanting to look at him anymore. Zach grabbed her wrist, and with a pull, Madelyn fell onto his lap. “Let go of me! Madelyn yelled.
Zach held her wrist with one hand and touched the scratched marks with the other. “I bought a house around my company. It’s a lot nearer than here and will make things easier for us. I’ll bring you there tonight.”
Zach did not tell her that he had bought it five years ago, and nearly spent all of his savings. He had not been earning a lot back then and had barely managed to gather enough money for the downpayment of a unit in the city center.
“We’ll go buy furniture after eating.”
“No!” Madelyn resisted.
“I won’t take no for an answer.”
“Zach, have you thought about how others will see me? You’re already engaged to Yvonne and you’re even going to marry her soon. Even without Yvonne, you should know that nothing you do can make up for everything you’ve done. I’ll never be with you again.
“I’d rather you be the old Zach who used to be ruthless toward, rather than the way you are now! What you’re doing is wrong!”
“Then tell me, what is right and what is wrong?” Zach asked.
