Madelyn was interrupted. “Madelyn, I’m just worried about you. What am I doing that you don’t like?Just tell me, and I’ll definitely change my ways!!
The tattooed hand stroked her head as his eyes fell upon her. Madelyn was not sure if it was an
illusion, but she could see a trace of panic in his eyes.
Every time he made such an expression, her heart would inevitably soften and she would feel guilt forupsetting him and speaking to him like that.
Madelyn did not know where to look. She knew that she was just being overly sensitive to hersurroundings, her self-preservation instincts reacting too strongly.
“I… I’m so… sorry…” Madelyn was mumbling as she tugged her hair. “I should be going back. Restwell. Good night.”
Madelyn did not know how to tell him that the problem was not him. He was fine as he was!
She was the problem…..
Ethan never got to respond to her “good night” as she fled from him as if avoiding a raging beast, herblack flowing skirt creating a beautiful arc as she went.
Madelyn took a deep breath as she tried to calm herself down. By the time she came to her senses,she realized she was still wearing his coat. There was a faint minty fragrance coming.
from it, Ethan’s familiar scent.
As she thought of him, Madelyn became upset. She pulled out her phone, not knowing what to do toalleviate the pain she caused him with her words earlier.

It was a message from him, just a simple [Good night.]

Inside another Audi, Jadie softly reminded Zach, “Zach, when are we leaving?”
She lowered the car window as a breeze blew in, cooling the car’s interior.
Zach’s face was emotionless as he stepped on the accelerator, overtook the car in front and quicklyleft.
“Pass me the medicine.” A low, rumbling volce rang out, clearly in pain.
George quickly took out a white medicine bottle from the car locker and passed a bottle of water overas well. “Master Ethan, do we need to contact Dr. Martin? It’s been quite a while. since you last paidhim a visit.”
Dr. Martin was Ethan’s personal psychologist. Ethan suffered from severe bipolar disorder, and whenhis mental illness struck it was very difficult for him to control his behavior. He was liable to do someunpredictable things.
“No need.” Ethan swallowed the pills as he closed his eyes. He could feel the pain in his legs and usedthat pain to numb himself.
He knew that Madelyn was avoiding him, but he could not figure out why, seeing as how they had onlymet a few times before. He tried not to think too much about it.
By the time Madelyn arrived at the Southern Haven Villa, it was almost midnight. It was Jordan whowoke her up.
Madelyn woke up groggily as she got down from the car with Ethan’s coat on her shoulders. As shewalked through the door, she caught a whiff of food.
“Zach, the gnocchi is almost ready.”
It was Jadie’s voice, she was busy cooking in the kitchen.novelbin
Madelyn lowered her head; her tired eyes struggling to stay open. Normally, she would be asleep byeleven, and had not expected to be so worn out attending a banquet.
Jadie brought out the cooked raviolis and noticed that Zach was not in the living room. He haddisappeared in the blink of an eye.
