The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 356

Madelyn thought, 'If a person cheats once, they'll cheat again! I've learned this from Zach.'

Madelyn walked out of the bathroom. She switched on her phone and saw that Ethan had called her several times. She then walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. She wore a tie belt sleeping gown, and her hair was still a little wet.

Madelyn returned the call, which Ethan picked up within a few seconds.

A familiar, deep, pleasant voice could be heard, "You're still awake?"

Madelyn looked at the moon. It was a crescent moon, just like the pendant on her neck.

She responded, "When'll you be back?"

Ethan gently chuckled, "Madelyn, it's only been one day. To be precise, it's only been fifteen hours and twelve minutes. What's wrong? Did something happen at school?"

Madelyn nervously clutched her gown. She could even hear her own heartbeat, "I-I miss you!"

She had to gather a lot of courage in order to say those three words.

She could not help but remember that she had said the same words to Zach countless times. However, what she received in return were some cold, hurtful sounds and voices.

Sometimes, it was the sound of Zach with another woman in bed! And sometimes, it was the third party's voice threatening Madelyn not to call again...

Whenever she thought about these, Madelyn felt extremely hurt.

Ethan stood up from his desk. He used his fingers to adjust his tie before walking to the floor-to-ceiling window. He put his hand in his pocket as he looked up at the crescent moon.

He responded, "I'll come back once I'm done with my work here. It's late. You should sleep..."

"Don't end the call yet. Can you stay with me for a little longer?" Madelyn asked.

Ethan answered, "Sure. I'll keep you company as you sleep."

Upon hearing the rustling of the blanket, Ethan guessed Madelyn probably had gotten into bed.
