The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning

Chapter 1017

Madelyn handed Dalton to Margaret, “Take him upstairs. I’ll come up in a moment.”

Margaret nodded hesitantly and carried Dalton upstairs. ‘Oh my! What’s the background of this person?

He doesn’t seem like a good person at all.’

Madelyn returned to her seat and sensed the subtle gaze directed at her, making her uneasy. The eerie

vibe spread instantly, with only Mya seemingly living in her world. She sat beside Fred, saying, “Madelyn,

the food cooked at your home is the best.”

Madelyn actually had many things to ask Mya, but it was not convenient with him around. So, she

responded, “If it’s delicious, go ahead and have more. I’ve already asked the servants to make a few extra

dishes.”

Fred asked, “It’s such a rare occasion for me to come visit. Aren’t you at least going to treat me to some

good wine?”

Zach gestured to a servant, who went to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of red wine, opening it for

him. After that, Zach skillfully removed the bones from the fish and placed the fish into Madelyn’s plate

beside his.

“Leave after drinking! We don’t keep outsiders in the house.”

Upon hearing the term ‘outsiders,’ Mya suddenly felt sad. ‘Does that mean I can’t meet Madelyn often in

the future?’

Madelyn said without raising her head, “Mya isn’t an outsider. It’s clear to everyone who is.”

“Ms. Jent, you’re still as eloquent as ever. Won’t you have a drink with us?”

Madelyn said without mercy, “I don’t drink with scumbags.”

When Mya saw them at odds, she tugged at Fred’s clothes under the table. “You promised not to stir up

trouble. Don’t bully Madelyn, or else I won’t talk to you anymore.”

Mya’s voice was just barely audible so Madelyn and Zach heard it. As Madelyn observed Fred’s reaction,

she saw him extend his hand to touch Mya’s head as if petting an animal as he said, “Be a good girl and

eat your food.”

Madelyn frowned, ‘Could it be Mya and him…? No way. Fred comes across as exceptionally cold- hearted,

even compared to Zach, despite their equal ruthlessness. His targets always end up dead or maimed.

Besides, I remember seeing Cecilia and Fred having an affair in the previous life.’

Madelyn had witnessed it once and was still unsure whether it was real or fake. After she had told Zach about it, Zach never allowed her to leave the house again.

Madelyn lost her appetite after eating only half a bowl of rice. “I’m full.”

By the time she finished only half a bowl of rice, Mya had already consumed three bowls and was now holding the fourth. “Madelyn… just give me a moment. I’ll be full after another bowl.”

The servant stammered, “M-Ms. Harper, I’m afraid you might have to wait for a while. The cooked rice is all gone, but we’re already making another batch. We didn’t know guests were coming, so we only prepared for Mr. and Mrs. Jardin. Ms. Harper, if you can’t wait, you can have pastina first. The rice will be

ready in half an hour.”

Mya quickly finished the half a bowl of rice and said, “Sure! I’ll have another bowl of pastina, then I’ll be

full.”

Madelyn advised, “Mya, you shouldn’t eat too much at night, or you’ll have indigestion and you won’t be

able to sleep comfortably.”

“All right! Since you said not to eat, then I won’t. Madelyn, I have something good to give you.” Mya ran

forward, took her hand, and pulled her upstairs.

After the two of them were out of earshot, Fred sneered, “It seems like your situation is getting worse and worse. You’ve offended so many people, just for a woman.”

Zach replied, “At least I’m not interested in simple-minded fools.”All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
