The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning

Chapter 791

Sunlight filtered through the trees, casting a warm glow in the car’s interior. Madelyn couldn’t believe that Zach would resort to using their child as leverage to get her to comply.

Zach’s words echoed in her mind, “If you don’t come, he’ll go hungry.”

The message had been relayed to her by the servant. Zach knew her well, knowing that kindness was often more effective with her than intimidation. But now, he was manipulating her by involving their child.

Sighing, Madelyn retrieved a bag filled with baby essentials from the closet. She understood that Zach might forget the milk, but intentionally leaving out Dalton’s diapers was perplexing. If he needed a change and there were no diapers, it would be inconvenient. Madelyn began to suspect that Zach might have omitted them on purpose.

About an hour later, Madelyn arrived at the Jardin Corporation building, with Jordan waiting for her. The tall building felt familiar. She had not wanted to be here; she had hoped Zach would take Dalton to Floral Loft, which was nearby. But he refused. As she entered the lobby, a familiar employee, who once worked for Azure Corporation, spotted her immediately.

“Ms. Jent? Wow, it’s you!”

Madelyn smiled in response. “Hey there.”

“Here to see Mr. Jardin?” the receptionist asked. “He told me to take you right up if you came.”

Madelyn offered her gratitude, albeit politely declining the offer. “I can find my way. He’s on the ninety- ninth floor, correct?”
