The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 685

Madelyn squirmed out of Zach's grasp and headed to the dining table, taking a seat. She dished out some Mediterranean rice onto a plate and set it before him. Lately, she had been tailoring everything to his likes, almost like a dutiful wife.

Zach commented, "The food's a bit too salty today. Maybe use less salt next time?"

"Okay," Madelyn responded as she ate.

Truth be told, she hadn't cooked any of these dishes herself. The housemaid had them ready before Zach returned from work. Madelyn hadn't lifted a finger, but Zach remained oblivious.

He added, "I'm planning to take a day off tomorrow. How 'bout some hiking? They say Mistral Monastery's got a killer view. Interested?"

Mistral Monastery sat high up on Mistral Mountain. It was a place where local people went to pray and also a spot tourists liked to visit in the area.

Madelyn responded, "I thought you didn't like to visit religious spots?"

Zach removed the fishbones from her plate and served her a piece of fish. He said, "I've been swamped with work these past few days, and I've missed spending quality time with you. I want to take you out and relax a bit."

Madelyn didn't touch the fish but replied, "Okay."

She agreed because the thought of being alone with him in the apartment all day didn't sit well with her. She knew exactly what Zach had in mind for their alone time.

After some small talk, they fell into silence.

Suddenly, a ringing phone shattered the quiet. An unknown number flashed on the screen. Zach ignored the call without even glancing at it. Half a minute later, when the person called again, Zach switched off his phone.

This time, Madelyn spoke up, "Your wedding is around the corner. Don't you have a lot to prepare?"
