The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 700

Zach's icy gaze fixed on Madelyn. "You slept in the hospital for a whole day and still haven't had enough sleep? Didn't you know to return if I didn't ask you to?"

Madelyn had no idea what he was angry about. His questioning tone was like a parent scolding a child for coming home late.

The age gap between Zach and Madelyn was not significant. He was about eight years older than her. Since childhood, he always liked to be in control of her, no matter what it was. Even when she came home from school an hour late, he would meticulously inquire about everything she had done.

Madelyn had had a crush on Zach since she was a child. However, he rejected her every time she confessed her feelings to him. He said their relationship would only be that of siblings.

At first, Zach had a hostile attitude toward Madelyn. However, he would not allow her to get close to other boys or engage in overly intimate interactions when the boys appeared around her.

Madelyn had been hurt before and wanted to move on from Zach. She began to hang out with and date other guys. But, after just three days of being together with one of them, Zach found out somehow. The next day, that guy mysteriously changed schools and ended their relationship. Madelyn was pretty sure Zach had something to do with it.

Madelyn said with impatience, "Zach, you don't have any ties to my family anymore. Please stop trying to be my guardian and controlling my life."

Turning away, Madelyn didn't care about his mood and just wanted to get back to her room. But as she took a step, Zach suddenly grabbed her wrist. "What have you been up to at Mistral Monastery these past two days?"

Madelyn tried to shake off his hand, saying, "What else does one do at a monastery? Aren't you being a bit too controlling?"

She sighed and continued, "I went there to pray, hoping you'd let go of your possessiveness over me sooner. Can't you give me some space?"
