The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 829

"For the past three months, Lana has thought of me as Andrew. But I've never felt the joy of truly having her," confessed Kai.

It was rare for Kai to open his heart to anyone, even to Zach. Initially, Kai considered Zach a mere pawn against the wealthy Jardin family. Now that Hayson was gone, only Zach remained. However, Zach's hatred for Hayson was not any less potent than Kai's own. Since Zach had killed his own father, he could be ruthless to anyone. However, the one soft spot he had was for Madelyn.

"So what's your plan?" Zach asked.

Kai sighed, "I'll take it one step at a time. Better for her to live in the present than to wallow in memories that bring her pain."

Kai remembered how Lana kneeled at the Stewart residence, hoping to catch a glimpse of Andrew. But he was long gone, and everyone knew it.

"Do you remember the wager we made four years ago?" Kai asked as he placed his hands in the pockets of his coat and looked toward Zach. His once carefree eyes had lost something irreplaceable.

Zach frowned, confirming that he had not forgotten. Kai continued, "We both lost that bet. You fell for Madelyn, and I've fallen for someone I shouldn't have."

Zach coldly retorted, "You're the loser here. If it were up to me, their love story would never have started."

After chatting for a while, Kai glanced at the window, its lights now on. He said, "I should go. It's late. Get some rest."
