Then, they left the apartment compound together.
Madelyn stared out of the car window without speaking to him. She did not know if Zach kept thewindow half-open on purpose, but the weather made her feel like she was in an ice cellar. However,she refused to say a word and insisted on not speaking to Zach.
She was just stubborn like that. She knew very well that Zach married her because he had otherintentions, but she said yes anyway. It was just like the way back home. Although she knew she waswalking in the opposite direction, she just would not turn back.
Zach was not very comfortable in the car either, as half of his coat got wet too. They did not speak aword throughout the twenty-minute journey. Madelyn was freezing.
When they arrived at the main entrance of the Southern Haven Villas, Madelyn got out of the car. Shenoticed a light coming from the gap in the partially drawn curtains in the living room.
She could faintly see a fair hand pressing against the curtain, revealing its silhouette. Madelyn walkedclose and heard some indescribable sounds from the living room that made her feel embarrassed anduncomfortable.
She turned around and went to a spot where she could stay away from the snow. That place was quiet,and she could not hear any noises anymore.
Zach approached her, and his shoes made a sound as they sank into the snow. “Do you plan to stayhere all night?”
Madelyn had no idea where else she could go.
‘He didn’t do anything when I was mistreated, yet he wants to help me now when I have nowhere tostay. I can never figure out what he’s thinking. He could treat me very well at times, but he could alsodo the complete opposite at other times.
‘I always end up getting hurt when I’m with him.’
In a sulky tone, she spoke with a hint of temper. “This is my home, and I have nowhere else to go…Zach, please don’t pretend to care for me after hurting me, okay? You should’ve never appeared in mylife in the first place.
“Thank you for sending me here. You can go back now. Leave me alone.”
She figured that she had already done everything she could to compensate Jadie for how badly shehad treated her back then.
There was only one thing left that she could return to Jadie; her life.
Zach stared at the pitiful crouching figure deeply.
“What a dumbass.”

Then, he left in his car. After that, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
Margaret was awakened by a phone call in the middle of the night. After realizing who the caller was,she immediately walked out of the house through the back door. She wore her pink thermal underwearwith a cotton coat over it. In the freezing weather, she squinted her and saw the pitiful figure huddling inthe corner.

Margaret walked in the heavy snow and hurriedly helped Madelyn up before walking her back into themaid’s room.
The maid’s room was located behind the villa. It was tiny and had a low ceiling. Margaret quicklygrabbed a quilt and draped it over Madelyn. Then, she lit up the stove to warm her up.
“Ms. Jent, it’s already so late. Why don’t you spend the night here? Mr. Jent is probably going to take awhile more before he can finish his business.”novelbin
Madelyn sipped on the hot tea. She could not believe how easily Margaret spoke of something like that.
It was so embarrassing to her. She almost choked on the tea.
Margaret looked at her and chuckled. “Ms. Jent, I came from the village. This is just the way I speak.I’m not as meticulous, capable, and understanding as Rosario. I’m straightforward, and I say thingswithout thinking thoroughly. Please forgive me.”
Madelyn nodded and looked at the steam coming out from her cup. “It’s fine. I don’t mind.”
