The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning By Max Charming chapter 356
Madelyn thought, ‘If a person cheats once, they’ll cheat again! I’ve learned this from Zach.’ Madelyn walked out of
the bathroom.
She switched on her phone and saw that Ethan had called her several times. She then walked to the floor-to-ceiling
window. She wore a tie belt sleeping gown, and her hair was still a little wet.
Madelyn returned the call, which Ethan picked up within a few seconds. A familiar, deep, pleasant voice could be
heard, “You’re still awake?”
Madelyn looked at the moon. It was a crescent moon, just like the pendant on her neck. She responded, “When’ll
you be back?”
Ethan gently chuckled, “Madelyn, it’s only been one day. To be precise, it’s only been fifteen hours and twelve
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtminutes. What’s wrong? Did something happen at school?” Madelyn nervously clutched her gown. She could even
hear her own heartbeat, “I-I miss you!”
She had to gather a lot of courage in order to say those three words. She could not help but remember that she
had said the same words to Zach countless times. However, what she received in return were some cold, hurtful
sounds and voices.
Sometimes, it was the sound of Zach with another woman in bed! And sometimes, it was the third party’s voice
threatening Madelyn not to call again…
Whenever she thought about these, Madelyn felt extremely hurt. Ethan stood up from his desk. He used his fingers
to adjust his tie before walking to the floor-to-ceiling window. He put his hand in his pocket as he looked up at the
crescent moon. He responded, “I’ll come back once I’m done with my work here. It’s late. You should sleep…”
“Don’t end the call yet. Can you stay with me for a little longer?” Madelyn asked. Ethan answered, “Sure. I’ll keep
you company as you sleep.”
Upon hearing the rustling of the blanket, Ethan guessed Madelyn probably had gotten into bed. Madelyn lay under
the blanket with her hand curled under her head. Her phone was placed beside the pillow, displaying an ongoing
call.
Ethan asked, “Are you sleeping soon? Or are you still doing something?” Madelyn answered, “I just bathed. I’ll sleep
in a bit. Ethan… can you tell me a bedtime story? No one has ever told me one before.”
Madelyn’s mother passed away right after giving birth to her. She was raised by Rosario. Even Hayson rarely
carried her. Ethan asked, “Would you like to hear the story of the Misty Forest?”
Madelyn answered, “Yes.” Ethan began the story, “A dense fog appeared in the forest. A little black bear got lost. It
was trying to find its way back home…”
Halfway through the story, Ethan heard Madelyn’s even, shallow breathing sounds. He thought, ‘It seems like she’s
fallen asleep.’ The morning sun cast a gentle, golden light on Madelyn’s body. When she woke up, her phone had

died due to the lack of battery.
After she charged her phone for a while, she saw that the call last night ended around five o’clock this morning.
This time, she made it to the early morning self-study session.
With his messy hair and backpack, Forrest walked past her window. He completely ignored her, just like before.
Madelyn thought, ‘What happened last night felt like a farce. It’s good that he’s ignoring me. I can just pretend what
happened last night never happened.’
Yvonne came this time. She looked unwell and had heavy eye bags. When she got to her seat, she immediately laid
her head on the table and fell asleep. Madelyn wondered, ‘Did something happen in the Young family these past
few days?’
Madelyn looked away. Suddenly, she noticed Jadie was staring at her. Her gaze was cold! In the blink of an eye, the
coldness in her eyes disappeared. Jadie was then smiling innocently at Madelyn.
Madelyn began to wonder if she was delusional.
