The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 284

Chapter 284 

‘But it doesn’t matter now,’ Madelyn felt that Zach’s so-called “feelings” for her were just 

something temporary. He seemed upset that she didn’t like him anymore, so he did those things 

to her. 

Those feelings weren’t really love; they were more like being controlling. She thought, ‘Maybe… in 

this new life, he could fall for Cecilia again. So, even if we end up together as a couple again, he’ll 

just leave me behind once he loses interest in me.’ 

That was why, this time around, no matter how many girls Zach liked, Madelyn had already 

decided not to fall for him again. Even if she ended up feeling lonely for the rest of her life, she 

wouldn’t repeat the same mistakes she made before. 

At The Deli, Zach had requested a private room, but Madelyn was worried he might try something 

in a secluded place, so she quickly told the waiter, “We don’t need a room, the main hall is just fine. 

Zach smiled and told the waiter, “Main hall it is, as she wants.” 

“Right this way, please,” the waiter said. 

Finally, they both sat at a table by the window in the main hall, with Madelyn sitting across from 

Zach. 

The waiter brought over some sparkling water. 

“Thank you,” Madelyn said. 

Zach looked at the menu, thinking the food didn’t seem too special. He remarked, “Since you’re 

the one who suggested this place, go ahead and order whatever you like.” 

Ignoring him, Madelyn picked up the menu and 

ose a few dishes she wanted. 

The waiter jotted it down, “Miss, you’ve ordered only three dishes. Is that going to be enough for 

both of you?” 

Madelyn answered calmly, “I’m not sure what he wants, so he can order what he likes for himself.” 

“Sure,” the waiter nodded. 

Zach’s taste in food was different from Madelyn’s – he ordered a few spicy dishes.

Once the waiter had left, Zach asked, “Still upset about it?” 

Madelyn didn’t even look at him. “I went to the mall with you, and now I’m here having dinner. 

What do you really want? I told you from the start that I’m not a threat to you. If you want the Jent 

family’s assets, take them, I don’t care.” She added, “Once I finish college, I’m planning to study art 

in France. I might not come back to Venturia. Do a kind thing and let me go, please?”
