The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 297

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning By Max Charming chapter 297

During dinner, Madelyn poked at the risotto on her plate. She kept her gaze on her plate as she shared the whole story with Hayson. “… And that’s how it happened,” she finished.

Before hearing the story, Hayson hadn’t realized that the heir of the Arnold family had been living right next door all this time. He hadn’t paid much attention to the identity of their neighbor.

“While you’re eating, remember what the table manners teacher taught you. Don’t lower your head down too much. It doesn’t look good. We shouldn’t give a bad impression of our family at the Arnold residence.”

“Understood, Father,” Madelyn replied. She immediately straightened. her back, and Hayson’s tone was gentler than before, not as stern anymore, “Father, there’s no need to be so strict with Madelyn at home,” Zach’s voice chimed in.

Walking behind him was Jadie. She cast a glance at Madelyn and thought to herself, ‘It’s been a while since I saw her. She looks even more beautiful now. Her cheeks, which used to be thin, have filled out, making her features even more delicate.’

Zach had two boxes of tea in his hands. “Finest black tea.” Hayson remarked, “You must have put in quite an effort to acquire them. Thoughtful of you.”

“It’s the least I can do.”After the servants took the boxes away, Zach took off his suit jacket and draped it over the back of the chair, then sat down across from Madelyn.

“You’ve come at the right time. Have you had your meal?” Hayson asked. “Not yet. I’ve just picked up Jadie and came home for dinner,” Zach replied.

The servants quickly brought over two sets of utensils. “Perfect timing, then. Let’s eat together. No need to be so formal in our own home.”

“Sure, Father.” Madelyn ate her dinner slowly, listening as Zach and Hayson talked about recent changes in their company.

Azure Corporation had taken up a new project in partnership with Arnold Corporation. They were working on developing an old residential area into a brand-new shopping mall.

Zach reassured, “Don’t worry, Father. I have my methods.” Hayson knew well what strategies Zach intended to use, but he didn’t elaborate further.

‘Why is Zach so determined to have that particular piece of land? Could it be that he’s also returned? Maybe I’m not the only one who’s been reborn?’ Madelyn’s thoughts drifted far from the dinner table.

Unable to focus, Madelyn managed to eat for around fifteen minutes, barely taking a few bites, before excusing herself and heading upstairs. Zach and Jadie would stay a few days at the Jent residence from tonight.

As Madelyn went upstairs, a servant hurriedly emerged from her old room on the third floor. That room was now Jasmine’s. Madelyn was startled when she saw the servant carrying a basin filled with water tinged with red. She asked, “What happened to Jasmine?”

The servant kept her head down and said, “She accidentally cut herself. No need to worry, the doctor is treating her.”
