The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 414

"I'm a picky eater. I want to have my cinnamon oatmeal now."

"I'll make it for you," Madelyn said as she put down her backpack.

Ethan grabbed Madelyn's hand and said to the old woman, "You're an old servant of the Arnold family, so you should know some manners. Besides, you'll get indigestion by having food this late at night. Marta, send her home."

"Yes, sir," answered Marta.

"Hold on... Marta, do we have grated cinnamon?"

"Yes," Marta replied.

"I don't have a lot of homework today. I'll make some oatmeal for you. It should be ready in about 40 minutes."

Evelyn chuckled and said, "Thank you."

"No worries."

'That's how the elderly are. The older they get, the less they sleep,' she thought.

Madelyn went to the kitchen.

Evelyn sighed, "You and her are like the oatmeal and cinnamon in here. When cooked together, the taste is the same. But if you add or remove something, the taste changes. Think about what I said. Tell her that she doesn't need to make the oatmeal. Madelyn has a test the day after tomorrow, right? You shouldn't disturb her in the next two days. Wait until her test is over before you talk things out with her. Don't let her overthink."

She continued, "This child is more patient and understanding than you think she is. But the more she behaves this way, the harder it will be for you to win her back if you wrong her. Cherish her. From what it looks like, she seems qualified to be the daughter-in-law of the Arnold family."

"It's my fault for not taking your feelings into consideration."

Madelyn actually felt touched hearing him say sorry. This was the first time somebody had said these words to her.

In her past life, Zach had wronged her many times.

She waited an entire lifetime to hear him say these words, but all she got was his indifference and impatience.

Madelyn turned around and hugged his neck. There was not much emotion in her eyes.

'I should apologize to him... because...' she thought.
