The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140 

“Look, I’m wide awake now that you’re here. Let’s chew the fat, shall we?” 

Madelyn was confused. “Chew the fat? What do 

you mean?” 

Margaret patted her thigh. “What? You don’t know what that means? Chew the fat means have a chat.” 

Madelyn nodded thoughtfully. “What would you like to chat about?” 

Then, Margaret said quietly, “I overheard a few things when I went out earlier. I can guarantee that your father is going to have two more children in three years. You’re going to have a little brother very soon.” 

Madelyn listened to what Margaret said and was intrigued by her accent. She realized that the way Margaret spoke was open and direct. However, she did not pay much attention to what Margaret was telling her about… 

Hayson had several affairs with different women, but he would never want any of them to have his child. Even if something went wrong, he would take care of it discreetly. 

A woman in her late twenties once came to their home and caused a scene with a baby in her arms. However, Madelyn never heard anything about her afterward, and that baby just disappeared. 

That was the only time that something like that had happened. 

A desk lamp lighted their room, and there was a faint smell of burned charcoal. Margaret was snoring loudly, but Madelyn could not sleep at all due to the pain in her arm from what happened last night. 

She dozed off in the tiny bed for a while, and the sun had risen by the time she woke up. Madelyn got out of bed carefully without waking Margaret up. She covered herself with the quilt and went outside quietly. 

It had snowed all night, and there was a thick layer of snow outside. Her wool slippers were already dried. She put them on and felt a bit warmer. Then, she tiptoed around the backdoor, ensuring no one knew she had come home last night. 

The house’s main door was opened, and the maid was cleaning up the mess from last night. All the maids greeted Madelyn as soon as they saw her, “Good morning, Ms. Jent.” 

Madelyn nodded and went inside, only to be met with an unpleasant smell. 

She frowned and quickly went upstairs. 

She went into the bathroom to clean herself up while avoiding the wound. As she tried to wipe the marks on her neck, she could not help but recall how the two men assaulted her, and 

away 

Zach just stood there without helping. He did that just because she went to an art exhibition with Ethan. He misunderstood her and thought that she wanted to get herself out of her 

current predicament with the help of the Arnold family. This misconception drove him to teach her a lesson.
