Chapter 408
Zach’s eyes were gloomy as he stared at Madelyn, “You’re not staying? The guest room is available.”
Madelyn did not know why he suddenly looked at her this way. She responded, “No, thanks. It’s inconvenient.” She
hurriedly left after she said that.
Zach watched her as she left. His gaze became more intense when he saw her desperately wanting to leave.
Jadie suddenly said, “Zach, I’m not sure if it’s just my imagination, but I feel like Madelyn never wants to stay at her
own home anymore. I feel like she’s terrified of this place. But isn’t this her home?”
Ethan was standing in front of the front passenger seat side. He stretched his arms as Madelyn walked toward him.
She hugged his waist and felt that he was all wet.
She also noticed that he wore a black coat over his usual gray suit today. There were also some droplets on his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshoulders. She asked, “Why are you wet?”
Ethan bent his index finger to caress her soft face gently. He looked at her affectionately, saying, “It rained a little
after work when I came to pick you up. Should we go back now?”
Madelyn nodded, “Yes.”
Ethan personally drove today. Madelyn sat in the front passenger seat. She felt like someone adjusted this seat.
Ethan rarely drove. Usually, when Ethan drove, Madelyn would sit in the front passenger seat. She sat in the front
passenger seat when she was in this car. She knew this seat had clearly been moved backward.
Ethan helped her fasten the seatbelt, “What’s wrong?”
Madelyn answered, “Nothing. This seat was moved backward. I’ll adjust it.”
Ethan’s expression changed, “Okay.” After he stepped on the accelerator, he said, “I know what happened today.
Don’t worry. It won’t happen again in the future.”
Madelyn played with the seatbelt as she said, “I don’t want so many people to know about our relationship yet. And
those magazines…”
“What’s wrong? Did those people cause you trouble?” Ethan tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
Madelyn pursed her lips. She noticed he sounded somewhat unhappy. She did not know if she should continue
talking about it.
Ethan continued, “You don’t have to care about those people. From now on, I’ll ask the bodyguards to…”
Before he could finish talking, Madelyn interrupted, “This isn’t about the bodyguards. We should just keep our
relationship to ourselves. We don’t need it to be made public. Because of the change in the school schedules, there
are many rumors about me. I don’t want to become the gossip of everyone.
“I have exams in a few days. I don’t want this to affect my studies. You do know how important this upcoming exam
is to me.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I understand.” Ethan’s vague response felt very dismissive.
Madelyn could feel he was unhappy. And that was why she was hesitant about telling him about this issue. She
dared not demand anything from him because she was now living at his house and was dependent on him.
She did not like this. But she had no other choice.
Since Ethan gave Madelyn an opportunity to avoid discussing this matter further, Madelyn took the opportunity and
just kept quiet. They did not chat anymore.
This was probably the closest they had gotten to arguing since they got together. People who knew she was with
Ethan always thought she must be extremely happy. But they did not know the stress she felt.
It was already ten-thirty at night when they arrived at the Arnold residence. They entered the living room one after
another.
George stated, “Mr. Arnold, the soup is ready. Would you like a bowl of it now?”
Ethan turned to look at Madelyn, “Do you want some?”
Madelyn was agitated, but she could not express her feelings. She smiled slightly, “Sure.”
