"Zach..." Madelyn still wanted to say something. But Zach just coldly interrupted, "Up to you, then."He then turned around and left.Tiger noticed she was nervous, "Sit down. Or you can catch up to him if you want. He isn't far away."Madelyn unhappily sat down. The waiter brought the desserts over.From the atmosphere just now, Tiger sensed that something was off, but he did not ask about it and just chatted about other things. He introduced all the entertainment activities in Supreme World and even shared some interesting stories to lighten her mood.Madelyn expressed her emotions on her face, so people could easily guess what she was thinking or how she was feeling.Many of her classmates came to celebrate Jadie's birthday...Apart from transferring to the same school as Madelyn, what Jadie had not told her was that she had also been placed in Class Six, the same as Madelyn.Forrest and his friends came too.Jadie joyfully walked into the private room surrounded by a group o
"Haven't seen you in a couple of days. You're looking pretty lively, huh?" Forrest lit the metallic lighter in his hand, the blue-reddish flames reflected in the dark, his emotions obscured behind it.The elevator was already on the 12th floor, and they would arrive soon.Tiger pressed the button. "You know him?" he asked Madelyn."Not really." Madelyn looked away as she followed him into the elevator.Timothy smiled. "Hey, Forrest, Madelyn's totally ignoring you."Adrian smacked Forrest on the shoulder and walked into the private room with a smile on his face.Forrest let out a dark smile as he closed his lighter cap. "How heartless."The private room on the tenth floor was alive with cheer and laughter. There were flowers, balloons, cakes and candles.The birthday party was supposed to be at night, but Zach had a flight that night and needed to depart at midnight, so the birthday party could only be arranged in the afternoon.After singing the birthday song, Jadie cut the fi
"I'm sorry, I'm not good at controlling my emotions." The frost in her eyes quickly went away as Jadie gave Serena an innocent look."I'm... I'm really sorry. I did not mean to say that. We no longer live together now, so I'll pass the word on to Madelyn. I hope you don't take this to heart."Serena gave her a weird look. The initial goodwill she had for Jadie had disappeared.'The heck does she mean by "not good at controlling her emotions?" She tried to make it sound pretty but all it really meant was that she could no longer keep up the facade. When she first joined the class, she was kind to everyone, gentle and would often inspire others to protect her...'And now, after Serena left, there was no one else left in the room. The initial lively atmosphere was now totally gone.Jadie had been just fine at first, but somehow things had turned out like this.After leaving Supreme World, Madelyn went to learn the cello, calligraphy and then dance...For Madelyn, whose limbs were v
Zach carried Jadie up into the front passenger seat and fastened the seat belt for her as the waiter handed him her bags."Sir, she's your girlfriend I assume? I saw her drinking alone for quite a bit, and she nearly got sexually harassed. She's a looker, so be sure not to leave her alone next time."Zach pulled out a few green bills from his wallet and handed it to the waiter as tips. He did not say much as he walked around, got into the driver's seat, and sped away.After arriving at Grand Court Condominiums, Zach got down from his car and looked at his watch. There was still an hour left to catch the flight, so he was not running late.Zach helped Jadie out of the car and she laid in his arms. "I don't want to go back; I want to drink more...""Jadie, enough. You still have school tomorrow."Suddenly, Jadie pushed Zach away with some inexplicable strength as she staggered a few steps backward and almost fell. Zach looked at her deeply. "Jadie, did something happen today?"Jad
They were in love with each other.In her previous life, she was the one who had caused Jadie's death. That was why Zach hated her with every fiber of his being.It was all her own fault...Madelyn no longer felt sleepy as she looked at the scenery outside, some wind blew in and caused her to recoil and tugged her coat tightly in response to the cold.'He's driving fast!'Half a year had passed just like that, and it would soon be the New Year in a month's time.The driver looked at the person behind the car through the rearview mirror and pressed a button, closing the car window.Half an hour later, she arrived at the Southern Haven Villas.As she stood downstairs, the entire villa was pitch black, with no lights on. She stood under the shade of the dim streetlight to the side; a few insects flew around it.Back then, no matter how late she went home, there would always be someone keeping the lights on for her, waiting for her to reach home.They would even prepare a bowl of
Today was the day of the art exhibition.Madelyn, of course, had not forgotten about it and had gotten up early to prepare. She put on a white cashmere coat, a long black knitted skirt with plush long trousers beneath as the weather today was gloomy and below zero degrees.The weather at Ventropolis of late was like a roller coaster and was very volatile. Frost had already formed on the flower beds at the villa. The maple leaves had still been green the day before, but after just a single night, they had turned red.The white frost alone made Madelyn feel a little chilly. She lowered her face and buried it inside her scarf, her cheeks slightly red.'I wonder if it'll snow today.'As soon as the taxi arrived, Madelyn quickly opened the door and got inside.She did not like to have people waiting for her, so she left half an hour earlier. By the time she arrived, there was already a long queue at the exhibition entrance, everyone with a ticket in hand.A Cayenne drove in about ten
At times, she was afraid of talking too much and annoying others.There was air conditioning in the exhibition hall, and it was not too cold. As she looked at the paintings, Madelyn kept her eyes peeled, not wanting to miss even a single detail.Edward's art surprised and shocked her. The paintings had an almost lifelike warmth. Be it the landscape, portraits, all of them looked so real...Each of the paintings were framed and there were guards standing everywhere, not allowing people to get too close. This was because every single one of these paintings here could go for astronomical prices in auctions."Isn't his art just so amazing?""Do you like them?" Ethan asked her."I first saw his art when I was eight. I climbed up onto my mother's book rack and it collapsed, so I was buried in a pile of books and saw a picture from one of the fallen books. It was a photo of one of Mr. Edward's paintings called the World of Fantasies."It was the prettiest aurora I'd ever seen. The ligh
Madelyn came out of the bathroom and turned on the faucet to wash her hands. When she thought of the new person beside Forrest, she felt the woman looked a little familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before.'Aren't Jadie and Forrest a thing? How come he's got a new girl now?'No, basing on how Jadie and Zach were hugging yesterday, they're probably together now. So it looks like Forrest got dumped.'She recalled how Jadie and Forrest had kissed one another right opposite her unit at the fishing village. She was not sure whether they had really been kissing or not, but from that angle, it had looked that way to her.Madelyn could not figure out if there had been something else going on between the two of them.'Ah, forget it. This has nothing to do with me. I shouldn't get involved.'Madelyn quickly washed her hands and wiped her hands dry with a tissue before throwing it away and returning to the lounge.Madelyn had just reached the entrance when she saw Ethan being surro
