The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 325

Madelyn replied with a hint of mockery, "Is there anyone who wouldn't be scared sitting next to a murderer?"

Zach thought, 'So she does know fear. But if she truly knew fear, she wouldn't have been so defiant, going out on dates with other guys.'

Madelyn contemplated, 'He's not defending himself. It seems like he did it. Well, what can't he do? Even if it's killing someone, he's capable of it, flawlessly.'

She pressed on, "She was with you for a year. Aren't you sad? How could you do that to her? She genuinely cared about you."

"Cared? Are you jealous?" He spoke in an even tone.

Madelyn's gaze remained fixed on him, as if she was looking at an emotionless entity. With that question, she wasn't just inquiring about Julia; she was asking for herself too. She wanted to know how it felt to have taken the life of someone he once had feelings for. 'Did he ever regret it? Did he feel remorse for his actions? Did he ever truly care about Julia?'

Madelyn took a deep breath. 'Never mind, he won't answer, and I'll never comprehend his inner thoughts.' With that in mind, she continued, "Someone like you doesn't deserve anyone's affection."

She believed he would eventually face the consequences of his actions, and she secretly wished for him to lead a solitary life.

"Is that so? Didn't you try to end your own life just to win my affection?" Zach countered.

A blush crept up Madelyn's cheeks, and she didn't respond. She could feel his gaze on her.

Upon arriving at the Jent residence, the car came to a stop, and both of them stepped out.

Zach locked the car and retrieved some fireworks from the trunk before heading inside the house.

Hayson looked displeased as his eyes landed on Madelyn. "Why are you returning so late?"
