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 minutes. 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 Z
Madelyn was distracted in the morning. She constantly recalled the incident at the safe passage last night and what Forrest said to her.She did not want to continue imagining things. She thought, 'It's meaningless to ponder about certain things.'When she set aside those distracting thoughts and listened to the teacher, she realized she had already lost track of the lesson...She dreamily got through the first class.Madelyn, sitting in the first row by the window, heard voices behind her. It was Yvonne and Jadie!Yvonne handed a gold invitation card to Jadie, "I'm handing this invitation card as the apparent heir of the Young family for you and Zach. YTCorp will be hosting a gala dinner this weekend. We hope both of you can attend it on time."Jadie had never received such a valuable invitation. She glanced at it before lifting her head to smile slightly at Yvonne, "I'm sorry! I don't know anything about the company's matters, but I'll pass this on to Zach. If he decides to go,
Yvonne was still lost in her thoughts, 'If I regard her as my future sister-in-law, I don't mind saying a few apology words to her. Who knows, we might become a family in the future.'However, Madelyn and Jadie can never become family. Jadie won't be able to stay in a relationship with Zach for too long. That cunning old man, Hayson, is always tactful. On one hand, he got close to the Arnold family by using her daughter. On the other hand, he can rely on his godson to gain cooperation with the Young family.'Hayson indeed knew what was best for him.Yvonne had seen many people willing to do whatever it took for power and status, even abandoning their wives and children. She believed Zach could let go of Jadie....In the Azure Corporation, Hayson was sitting in the CEO's seat. After stepping down from his position, he rarely came to the company. Zach was standing nearby as he handed the most recent financial report to Hayson.The revenue this time had increased by thirty-two perc
Looking at how she dressed, one would think she looked like a top performer from a nightclub.Her hairstyle was the trendiest among nightclubs over ten years ago. She was wearing a pair of emerald gemstone earrings.The women's watch on her hand was embedded with the most expensive diamonds, worth over two million dollars.However, to Hayson, this amount of money was no more than a drop in the ocean.Jasmine walked toward Zach and pressed herself against his body. Her voice was alluring, "Seems like he's after your girlfriend! You need to be careful!"Zach's gaze turned cold as he pulled her hand that was resting on his chest away. He then distanced himself from her.Right at this moment, someone knocked on the office door.Zach answered, "Come in!"When Zach turned around, a subtle hint of unhappiness appeared on Jasmine's face.Kevin pushed open the door and reported, "Ms. White is here."Zach nodded, "Let her in."Kevin conceded, "Okay."Jasmine noticed his gaze. She smi
Jadie thought, 'If it wasn't for me suddenly having my period that night and stained my skirt, I wouldn't have had the chance to call him and ask him to come over. And after that, he even carried me out of my classroom.'She asked, "Zach, are you free this weekend? How about we go on a date? You didn't spend time with me during Valentine's Day."Zach answered, "Got it. I'll check my schedule when the time comes and arrange it."Jadie thought, 'He always says this.'Jadie planned to watch a movie for Valentine's Day before shopping for clothes with him. He said the same thing to her. But in the end, he did not go. He ended up working overtime at the company.Jadie said further, "How about we go to the amusement park? I'll wait for you on Friday after school."Zach responded with a sound.After lunch, Kevin came into the office to report on work. Zach had a meeting about half an hour later.Jadie did not want to disturb Zach. So, she left the company.After Kevin left the office
Madelyn thought, 'If this goes on, not only will Forrest not have the mood to listen to me, but I'll also be affected.'After she left the library, she pondered again, 'Would he bring his girlfriend everywhere from now on? I really don't know what he's thinking. I can't understand how men think.'Without Ethan around, Madelyn's day was monotonous. Time passed very quickly. Madelyn packed her backpack after the last class ended. As she was about to leave, Jadie suddenly walked to her, "Madelyn, are you free? Zach and I haven't had a meal with you in a long time. Let's go back and eat together tonight."I'll cook. I promise you'll love it. Rosario had taught me a lot about cooking."Madelyn rejected, "I have class later. So, I can't come with you."Jadie asked, "Class? Special math class?"Madelyn answered, "Yes."Jadie probed, "Why don't you just join the Math Olympiad training class like back then?"Madelyn pursed her lips. As soon as she was about to respond, Yvonne came over
Everyone thought that Ethan was an outstanding heir to the Arnold family.Other than the influential figures, many charming beauties came too. Many people from wealthy families greeted Ethan. Many heiresses wanted to have a drink with Ethan, too. However, Kevin had stopped all their attempts.When Ethan was involved in the car accident, he became paralyzed in both legs. This incident caused a big sensation in the news. Now, he was able to stand up. It seemed like his legs had been treated successfully.No one dared to force him if he did not want to drink.This banquet would end at nine o'clock at night.At eight o'clock, all the lights at the venue suddenly went out. It was extremely dark.Several blue beams of light shone on the stage in the next second. A woman in a limited blue gown sat in front of the piano. The music she played silenced the clamor.Everyone quietly looked at her. Her hair was long and beautiful. With the ethereal music, she looked like a mermaid.Someone
It was eight thirty at night. Madelyn was sitting in the back passenger seat, looking out the window frustratedly. She thought, 'I shouldn't have left so early. Or else, I wouldn't have met them.'Madelyn left early today because she wanted to go back early and rest.Unexpectedly, she bumped into Zach and Jadie as soon as she left the school. They were going for a late-night snack.Zach did not allow her a chance to reject them. He just brought her into his car.Zach and Jadie happily discussed what to eat and their plans for the weekend. Now that they were together, Madelyn felt like a third wheel. She felt very uncomfortable. She thought, 'I'm like an outsider being forced to be in their lives.'Jadie turned her head and asked Madelyn, "What'd you like to eat? Grilled food, or do you want to eat fish?"Madelyn, who was lost in her thoughts, quickly snapped back. She gently said, "Ah," before saying with a faint smile, "I'm fine with anything. Actually, I'm not that hungry."Ja
