The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning By Max Charming chapter 374

Madelyn left after waiting for fifteen minutes. As she got into the Arnold family’s car, she turned on herphone and saw several messages from Ethan. When Madelyn was about to reply, a call came insuddenly. Nervously, she pressed the answer button. “Father.”

It was a call from Hayson. He rarely called her personally. “I heard from Zach that you also received theinvitation to the Young family’s banquet?”

The voice over the phone spoke calmly as usual. Madelyn felt the pressure with just that shortsentence. “Yes.”

“Mr. Arnold hasn’t come back yet, so he probably won’t make it to the banquet. Come back today andprepare for it. I’ll take you there tomorrow. It’s a good opportunity for you to meet a few uncles.”

“But…” Madelyn uttered the word like a faint murmur. She was unsure if he heard her, so she quicklychanged her tune and said, Alright, Father. I got it.”

Talking too much was no use anyway, since no matter the situation or the reason, Madelyn could notrefuse Hayson. She told the driver to change direction and return to the Jent family’s Southern HavenVillas. Once home, she had the driver leave.

The Young family’s connections were not as vast as the Arnold family’s, but the attendees were allprominent figures this time. Bringing Madelyn along was Hayson’s way of informing the entireVentropolis circle about her relationship with Ethan, thereby achieving his goals.

Previously, Ethan had considered taking Madelyn to various banquets, but she declined them all. It wasjust because she did not want to go, and Ethan would never force her to do something she did not want

to. However, Hayson was different. Having grown up under this kind of pressure, she had no choice butto comply.

Back at the Jent residence, Madelyn noticed a table full of people already seated, seemingly waiting forher. Zach, Jadie, and Jasmine were all there as well. Hayson’s gaze shifted toward her. “Go wash yourhands and join us for dinner.”

“Yes, Father.” Margaret took over her school bag. Jasmine stood up and served her a bowl of chickensoup. “How’ve you been at the Arnold residence? It’s been a while, and you’ve become even morebeautiful. Madelyn sat beside Jasmine and smiled, saying, “Thank you.”

Suddenly, Hayson asked, “Did he tell you when he’ll return?” “He went to Marisburg for a week. Theearliest he’ll come back is the day after tomorrow,” said Madelyn. “Have you two slept together yet?”

Madelyn choked on the chicken soup she was sipping. She could almost feel the numerous gazes fixedon her and also one particularly piercing and unsettling gaze that sent shivers down her spine. Withouteven looking, she knew where that gaze was coming from.novelbin

Jasmine patted her on the back to ease her discomfort. “Look at what you’re saying. Madelyn’s still achild, and Mr. Arnold is a sensible person. They probably haven’t done anything.”

Madelyn wished she could dig a hole and bury herself. ‘How could Father ask such a question duringdinner? He used to hate it when I talked at the dinner table.’

Madelyn also had her own thoughts. Trying to appear less nervous, “Occasionally.”
