The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 545

When Madelyn approached, Ethan hung up his phone.

The weather outside was warm, and many students had already finished their exams and were being picked up by their parents. Madelyn clutched her pencil case against her forehead and quickly opened the front passenger door, hopping into the car.

Inside the car, it was pleasantly cool. Ethan handed her a bottle of cold water. "Just finished your exam. How do you feel?"

Madelyn took a sip, and the heat that clung to her body quickly faded away. "Not too bad, not as hard as I imagined."

Ethan picked her up and drove to the pre-booked photography studio.

Madelyn rarely had her picture taken throughout her life, and this was one of the very few times. By the time the session was over, she was exhausted, and her makeup was still on as she cuddled with a pillow in the car, dozing off.

As Ethan drove, he noticed her body tilting toward him. He reached out to support her face. When they hit a red light, he pulled over to the side of the road, adjusted her seat, and let her lie down comfortably, peacefully asleep.

They arrived at the Arnold residence smoothly, and Madelyn hadn't woken up the entire way. Ethan carried her in his arms from the passenger seat and walked into the foyer.

A servant approached, "Mr. Arnold..." When she saw who Ethan was carrying, she immediately fell silent.

"Save it for later," Ethan said, carrying Madelyn upstairs.

Inside the room, Ethan carefully placed her on the bed when his phone in his pocket began to ring. Seeing the caller ID, he swiftly declined the call and switched off his phone.

With exams approaching and so much happening these past few days, Madelyn hadn't had a decent night's sleep in ages.

Ethan walked over to the dressing table, rummaging through a pile of bottles and jars for a while before finally locating a bottle of makeup remover and some cleansing water. He scrutinized the ingredient list before choosing the gentler makeup remover, then walked back to the bed, gently removing the makeup from her face, bit by bit.
