The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning

Chapter 40

Madelyn watched as Zach walked out of the room. After he closed the door, she pressed a hand against her racing heart, wondering, ‘Will he suspect anything now?’ She had dropped hints before, mentioning her plans to leave Ventropolis and move thousands of miles away to Lorville after the college entrance exams. She had also suggested that after graduating from university, she intended to teach in remote areas, so as not to interfere with his revenge against the Jent family.

In other words, she had told that Zach he could treat her as though she were already gone, banishing her from his life. She would never return once she left this home.

Glancing at the stain on the bedsheet, Madelyn let out a sigh. ‘Zach really knows how to hold a grudge. I just changed this bedsheet today. Does he want me to spend a night without any covers?’

The blankets in the cupboard hadn’t been washed or aired out for nearly six months, and Madelyn was allergic to dust. If she wrapped herself in those blankets, she was guaranteed a trip to the hospital. She couldn’t help but mutter, ‘This jerk really knows how to hold onto at grudge. He’s such a miser!’

Madelyn tossed the blanket onto the floor, deciding to wash it the next day. She grabbed a thick jacket to keep herself warm, turned off the lights, and lay down on the bed.

The following morning, the sun beamed brightly, casting a cloudless sky. Madelyn stretched lazily and roused from her slumber, realizing that she didn’t have a headache or a stuffy nose. To her surprise, she also discovered a gray striped blanket draped over her, though she had no recollection of when it had appeared. Startled, she swiftly removed the blanket, recognizing it as something that only Zach would possess based on its distinctive pattern.

“What the heck? Did Zach sneak into my room last night?” Madelyn’s face paled, and her head throbbed with intensity. ‘Lately, Zach has been making more frequent visits to my room. This is not a good sign. I distinctly remember locking the door, didn’t I?’ Impatiently, Madelyn tugged at her hair.

Just then, Rosario knocked on the door and entered. “Madelyn, quit lazing around. Mr. Jent is downstairs waiting for you to join him for breakfast.”

Madelyn was taken aback. “My father is back?”

“Yes. He arrived with a woman, and…” Rosario’s expression grew complicated, but she quickly stifled it, refraining from saying anything further. “Hurry up!”
