The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 883

Holding two cups of water, Blake approached Kevin and asked, "Mr. Harrison, did Mr. Jardin assign us a new task? I overheard Mya's name just now. She's my cousin, you know? Given that I'm your apprentice, could you maybe share just a tiny bit of what's going on? It'll help me shoulder some of the burden, and be part of the solution."

Kevin took his cup of water with his face turned icy. He said, "Mind your own business, Blake. Focus on your work."

As Kevin walked away, Blake rolled her eyes and mimicked Kevin. "Mind your own business, he says."

Kevin had seen Blake's mockingly exaggerated expressions reflected in the fire extinguisher's glass casing. He caught everything in his gaze.

Having ended his call, Zach went upstairs to pacify Madelyn who was brooding in silence.

Madelyn sought refuge in her art studio, where she drowned her frustrations in swathes of color on canvas. Next to her palette was a vase with a freshly cut flower. Zach came in and crouched down beside her, taking her about-to-paint hand into his, and said, "I'm sorry about Mya. It was my fault. I overlooked it."

"What would you like as compensation? I'll do anything," Zach said softly, planting a gentle kiss on the back of Madelyn's hand. At that moment, he looked like the most devoted follower in front of Madelyn, the only one who could make him humble.

Madelyn tried a few times to pull her hand away, but it didn't work. She kept her feelings inside, making her voice calm again. "I know you've gathered information. Do you think your dirty money can just solve everything? You're still the same, Zach. You're as heartless as ever!"

This was the first time Madelyn was really mad. She quickly pulled her hand away and wouldn't look at Zach. She wanted to be far from anywhere he was. She rushed into the nursery, slamming the door tight. Even from far down the hall, Zach could hear the door slam.
