Chapter 751
It could be considered as a long-awaited family dinner. However, time had passed, and nothing was the same as it
used to be.
Madelyn recollected herself and came downstairs. She had just washed her face, and there were still water droplets
in her tied-up hair.
Zach shifted his gaze toward her, and Madelyn noticed it.
There was an empty seat between Zach and Yvonne. ‘Is that seat meant for me?’ Madelyn wondered to herself.
Madelyn lowered her gaze, “I’m sorry for keeping you guys waiting.”
She avoided Zach’s piercing gaze that was impossible to ignore. She hesitated for a moment but eventually took a
seat next to Jasmine.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Come over here!” Zach’s gaze instantly turned cold, and his chilly aura felt extremely hostile. Even though Hayson
was still alive, Zach had completely taken over the Jent family.
Madelyn kept her head down, saying, “This is where I always used to sit. It’s not right for me to sit between you and
my sister-in-law.”
The word “sister-in-law” immediately made Zach’s expression ugly as his deep, dark eyes flashed with a cold glint.
“No one eats if you don’t come over. I’m not going to repeat myself!” Zach’s tone sounded extremely cold.
Yvonne would never dare to make Zach angry like this.
She was supposed to be his legitimate wife, yet… she felt like an outsider upon watching their interactions.
Madelyn raised her head and looked at Hayson, who was seated next to Jasmine. She did not. know if her father
could hear their conversation. However, she figured that if Hayson was healthy, he would never allow her to be with
someone like Zach.
Suddenly, Madelyn remembered the day she told Hayson that she had fallen for Zach.
For no apparent reason, Hayson locked her in the study and gave her a brutal beating while. Zach watched from
the side without doing anything to intervene. Madelyn had ended up spending over half a month in the hospital bed
afterward.
However, it was never enough to make her give up on Zach. Instead, it had only made her want him more and
more…
Whenever Hayson saw Madelyn and Zach getting too intimate with each other, he would use the whip on her
without any hesitation.
But Hayson could not speak now. Still, his eyes were fixed on her as if he had something to
say…
Madelyn clenched her fists tight under the table, “Zach… would you please not embarrass me like this in front of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmy father?”
She was not exactly begging Zach, but he understood it as he looked at her. Hayson had nearly beaten Madelyn to
death after she recklessly told Hayson that she was going to marry Zach. It was only then that Madelyn kept her
distance from Zach in public.
However, there was a fig leaf between them; no one would ever find out about their sordid relationship if they were
careful enough.
“Mommy, this man is so fierce! He’s not letting me eat!” Samantha sat on Jasmine’s leg as she timidly complained.
“Sammy, Mommy told you not to talk while eating,” Jasmine broke the silence. She continued. “Madelyn, we rarely
get to eat together as a family, so let’s make it a happy one. Besides, your father is sitting right here!
“Some things are better to be kept private…”
‘Is Jasmine saying I should keep the fight between me and Zach to ourselves?’
Madelyn could tell that Jasmine was being sarcastic toward her.
So, she picked up her knife and fork, still unwilling to give in, “I don’t need you to remind me that.”
