Chapter 223
When Forrest was mentioned, Madelyn cautiously glanced at Ethan and saw that his expression wascold. It seems like he did not want to hear Forrest’s name being mentioned.
The mood was immediately silenced. Madelyn noticed that something was amiss. She had notexpected to be placed in the middle of such a difficult situation.
Madelyn got up and poured a glass of water for Ethan as she said, “The flower tea is quite delicious.You should try it.”
“Alright,” Ethan replied. His lips curled into a light smile. However, his displeasure was not
noticeable.
Madelyn did not know whether he was used to drinking flower teas. The flower teas here are brewedwith the most common jasmine flower and might not be comparable to the teas he usually drinks.Hayson also liked to drink tea daily, and the tea leaves he used would be of the best quality. Their pricerange would be in the thousands to ten thousands.
Then, the phone in her pocket vibrated. Madelyn took out her phone and saw that it was Forrest’s reply.It was just a few words: [I have some business, I won’t be going!]
Madelyn held onto her phone and stood up before saying, “I need to go make a call.”
Ethan’s tattooed hand rubbed the sides of the teacup as he replied, “Go ahead.”
He might have figured It out, but he did not say anything. Madelyn walked to a quiet corner of thecorridor and gave Forrest a call.
At the Azure Bar, deafening music was playing noisily. Forrest was hanging out in this smoke- filledestablishment. Sitting on both sides of Forrest were babes with curvy figures. Some of them weresinging while others were busy playing cards. A pack of cigarettes, a lighter that was weighing downsome banknotes, and a pile of change sat before Forrest’s table. He then
threw a card out.
Suddenly, his phone rang. Forrest and his friends gestured towards his pocket. The art school belleunderstood and took his phone out of his pocket. The art school belle pressed the button. to receive thecall and placed it by Forrest’s ear. Forrest asked, “Who’s this?”
Madelyn could hear the deafening music from the sound system and knew where he was. She hadexpected him to be absent. Afraid that he could not hear her speak clearly, Madelyn opted to hang upthe call and send him a message: [Are you busy? I owe you a meal, but I’ll make it up to you next time.]
With a cigarette in his mouth, Forrest glanced at the message that popped up, then flipped the phoneover and proceeded to continue playing cards.
Zach and Jadie were the last to arrive, and by then it was almost half past seven. Based on
1/2
Zach’s timing, it was considered earlier than usual. However, the supposed two-person group had anextra person mixed in. It was… Yvonne Young!novelbin
She openly held hands with Zach when she walked in while Jadie followed them from behind like aservant. The moment they entered, Madelyn noticed Jadie’s jealous and indignant expression. Jadieseemed to be faced with an actual adversary, someone would always get between her and Zach.
Surprisingly, the meal was eaten quite harmoniously. They ordered some liquor. The alcohol proof wasnot high, so they would not get drunk. Madelyn was unsure whether it was because the food was not toEthan’s tastes, but he kept putting food into Madelyn’s bowl while not eating much himself. Yvonne wasquite clingy toward Zach, as if they were an actual couple, and they completely left Jadie out of theloop.
Madelyn could not bear to eat anymore and escaped from the scene by excusing herself to go thetoilet. She entered the washroom and then came out to wash her hands. She then lifted her head tolook at herself in the mirror. The scene of Zach and Yvonne together came to her mind, but she wasoddly calm.
‘Does this mean I’ve moved on from the past relationship between Zach and I?
