The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 1019

As Madelyn walked away from Zach, he smiled and grabbed her wrist, pulling her back into his embrace. His hand softly traced through her long locks, gazing at the crescent moon in the night sky.

"Mrs. Jardin, you always seem to find a reason to find fault in me. I'm not like him. Look, I promise not to engage with him anymore. This will be the last time, okay?"

Zach's voice was like medicine, soothing her wounded heart. Madelyn breathed in his scent, feeling an indescribable sense of security, and calmed down quickly. She felt like a fish submerged in the sea, wanting to break free but being pushed back by the waves. She knew it was not right to keep going like this.

"You keep saying the same thing every time. You promise not to meet Cecilia, but you still do. As long as she benefits you, you'll abandon me. Fred is just as heartless as you are. You've never fulfilled any promise you made to me. If you had to choose between a 50 billion dollar contract and me, what would you choose?"

In the past, she would never have dared to ask such a question. This question was just too devastating for her because she knew what he would choose without having to ask. Forget about 50 billion, even 30 million would be enough in exchange for her life, and Zach would abandon her without hesitation. She was too insignificant to him.

Suddenly, Madelyn pushed him away and said, "Never mind, that question is meaningless. I don't want to know the answer anymore. I'm going to check on the child."

"I can always earn the money again, but I only have one wife."

Madelyn's departing steps paused at the doorway, and her eyes shone with tears. With an indifferent and calm sentence, he had effortlessly stirred her emotions.

But deep down, she knew it was a lie.
