The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 999

Her gentle voice disappeared in the loud fireworks. Many people came out to watch them.

Madelyn held a snowflake, which melted in her palm as she left.

She felt disconnected from the lights and the lively atmosphere behind her. She gradually walked further away from the noise.

Madelyn preferred to be alone rather than enjoying the lights. She had never liked being alone before. But now, she was all alone.

Madelyn wrapped her scarf tighter around her. She buried half of her face in it. After walking a short distance, she reached the lively streets.

Although it was in the middle of the night, many people were still walking on the streets. It was very crowded.

Madelyn remembered that in the past, people rarely hung out on the main streets of Ventropolis at this hour.

She lifted her head and saw the lively scene. After pondering for a moment, she turned around and decided to walk toward a quiet alley. The sound of fireworks behind her gradually faded.

A black car followed her from a safe distance. Madelyn lowered her head, thinking about something. She did not notice the car until the glaring high beam suddenly illuminated her from behind when she was about to enter a narrow alley.

However, she did not stop walking. She just continued walking toward an even darker area.

Madelyn ignored the honking of the car.

Then, in the darkness, Madelyn watched someone who had just passed her. Her eyes were extremely cold as she stared at his back.

Madelyn continued walking away in the direction opposite to him. The distance between them grew gradually.

She was lost in her thoughts, 'Zach, although you have everything now, some things can never be found again, no matter how hard you look.

'I've already moved on. I stopped hating you a long time ago. In the past, I paid all my attention to you. When I look back, Zach, you're just ordinary.'

Madelyn took a taxi back to Southern Haven Villas.

When a maid saw her return, she exclaimed, "Mrs. Jardin, you're finally back! You should call Mr. Jardin immediately. He's very worried about you. He called home many times."

Madelyn removed the scarf around her neck and brushed off the snowflakes and water droplets. Then, she hung it on the rack. She looked worn out as she removed her coat. She walked tiredly, "Please make me a bowl of carrot ginger soup and bring it to my room."

She supported herself on the handrail as she slowly walked upstairs. She had waited for a long time for the taxi just now. She was caught in the snow, and her hair was a little wet.

She draped a dry towel over her shoulders and just let her hair dry on its own.

Madelyn then drank the soup. When the phone near her hand vibrated, she quickly switched it to silent mode. She glanced at the group chat messages and thought, 'I remember I muted the group chat.'

She read the messages. Some of them were apologies to her.

Madelyn forgot what had happened. She assumed they mistakenly sent the messages. She did not care much about it.

"It's very late now. Do you need something?" Madelyn felt warmer after a few sips of the carrot ginger soup.

Zach stared at her intensely. He lifted his hand with his fingers trembling before putting it down again. He wanted to say something. But in the end, he just asked, "Did you have a good time today?"

"Not bad. I was in the opposite room and heard that Jardin Corporation had closed a thirty-billion-dollar contract. Congratulations. Many of my junior colleagues envy you and are eager to work at your company." Madelyn quickly finished the soup. After putting down the spoon, she got up to brush her teeth. She walked past him to the bathroom. She noticed Zach was still in the room after brushing her teeth.

The calmer she appeared, the more emotions penned up in Zach— especially suppressed anger.

He preferred it if she showed some anger as that would mean his presence could still evoke her emotions, meaning she still cared about him.
