The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 618

The waiter served the final dish.

"Nothing here that suits your taste?" Zach took a sip of water and looked at her.

Madelyn's bag was placed on the chair right beside her. She had the strong urge to just grab her bag and leave. However, she could never do that with the bodyguard around her. Even if she did manage to escape, she would have no idea where to go.

"I don't want to stay here. I have my own things to do."

"What things? Tell me about them," Zach asked.

Madelyn tightened her grip on her fork and knife. "I'm going to Dreamy Bay in North Sands next week. I have a lot of preparations to make. If you keep me here, I won't be able to get anything done."

Zach listened to her quietly before muttering one word, "No."

Madelyn could not figure out what right he had to interfere with her decision every time she wanted to do something. After all, she was not a student anymore.

"This is my business, and you don't have the right to stop me from doing anything, even with the relationship we have with each other now. You..."

Zach cut her off before she could finish her sentence. He put down his fork and leaned back in his chair. "Tell me, what kind of relationship do we have now?"

Zach looked at her with eyes that could seem to see through everything, including her. Madelyn could not figure out what he was trying to say.

'Does he want me to admit that we have an improper relationship with each other by asking that question?

'And that I'm just a toy to him?' she wondered.

Madelyn lowered her gaze, and her hand tightly grasped her skirt under the table. She did not want to admit it as she said, "To me... you're just a brother that I have no blood relations with!"

Zach smiled wickedly. He wiped his mouth with a napkin before standing up. Then, he walked over to her, and Madelyn could feel her body tensing up. Zach stood behind her, raised his hand, and snapped his fingers.
