The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 369

Madelyn answered the phone, and they talked about trivial matters like what she ate and what she did. It was like he would set a time to call her every day. Most of the time, Ethan was the one who called since Madelyn rarely used her phone and would only send him a text when she remembered.

About seven or eight minutes later, the pasta was cooked, and Madelyn strained it.

"Sorry the banquet ended this late, Mr. Arnold. Would you do me the honor of having a drink with me?" Suddenly, a gentle and soothing voice of a woman came from the other end.

Madelyn got distracted and scalded her hand while straining the pasta.

Megan had just left the banquet venue and approached Ethan when she saw him on the balcony. She immediately fell silent when she saw him turn around with a phone in hand.

Ethan looked icily at Megan, and she was startled by his gaze.

Just as he was about to explain himself, he heard the person on the phone say, "I'll be hanging up if you're busy. Get back to the hotel and get some rest soon."

Madelyn hung up the phone, and the call ended. She did not ask him for an explanation, even though she clearly heard the entire conversation. She even acted understanding and did not pry at all.

For a moment, Ethan felt a little disappointed.

Ethan stuck his phone into his suit pocket. He now emanated a chilling aura. He walked past Megan and coldly ignored her.

Suddenly, she spoke, "Sorry. I didn't know you were on the phone."

Ethan slowed down his pace.

"Is that so? Then you should be more careful in the future. You're not worthy of speaking to me with that status of yours."

Leyton came inside with a pink gift bag in hand, "Sir, I've bought the gift Ms. Jent wanted."

"She didn't mention the flavor she wanted, so I bought one of each," he added.

"Aren't you going for lunch?" asked Madelyn.

"I was waiting for you. I wanted to eat with you after you finished your paper. Besides, there are some questions I don't quite understand and want to ask you about."

Madelyn stared at Mya's innocent doe-like eyes and quickly looked away, "Well... Let's go then."

Mya had been pestering Madelyn for quite some time. Ever since Madelyn had helped Mya, the dorky-looking girl had been buying snacks and secretly stuffing them into her desk during recess.

Among the snacks Mya would give Madelyn, there was always milk candy, despite the fact that Madelyn did not have a sweet tooth. In fact, she would always get toothaches after eating candy.

Once, Madelyn had tried returning the snacks, but Mya had looked at her with pitiful eyes, and her pleading gaze had made Madelyn feel guilty.

Madelyn had never been so scared of making someone cry. She wanted to see Mya smile and was willing to sacrifice her own smile to do so.
