The Jent residence didn’t have many rooms. Hayson had always sleeping alone, so the study on thesecond floor and the master bedroom were off-limits. The third floor had originally been Madelyn andZach’s rooms, while Jadie occupied the fourth floor.
Now, Madelyn had to give up her room on the third floor, and her only option was to move to the fifthfloor, the very top of the house. However, the fifth floor was incredibly peaceful. The room boasted aspacious balcony where she could care for her plants, savor a cup of tea while gazing at the nighttimescenery. Even if she had to spend the entire day in her room, she wouldn’t feel bored.
Madelyn swallowed a couple of painkillers, took a sip of water, and began tidying up the room.
Just then, Rosario walked in, her expression somewhat sour. “If someone had to give up their room, itshouldn’t have been you,” she remarked.
Madelyn gently grasped Rosario’s hand, her lips curving into a reassuring smile as she tried to consoleher. “To be honest, it doesn’t matter who takes over my room on the third floor. I prefer the room on thefifth floor. I recall there are numerous paintings by Mom there, as well as her photographs. If I livethere, maybe Mom will visit me in my dreams at night. It’s been such a long time since I dreamt of her.”
That was also the place where she felt closest to her mother.
Rosario’s face brimmed with compassion as she held Madelyn’s hand. “Our dear Madelyn, why are youso understanding?”
“Because I’ve already grown up, Rosario. In truth, I’ve learned a lot of things,” Madelyn thought toherself, addressing Rosario. ‘Just give me a little more time, and I’ll take you away
from here.’
Madelyn began to pack her clothes and gather the basic items she would need.
Shortly after, the housekeeping personnel arrived. They swiftly replaced the old furniture in her originalroom and covered the previously pink walls with white wallpaper. In less than two hours, the room,once delicate and brimming with youthful charm, underwent a complete. transformation. Additionally, apersonalized clothing company delivered batches of clothes
and dresses to the third floor.novelbin
Hayson had always been generous with women. Madelyn was aware of his previous relationship with asugar baby, a college student, and how he had bought her an apartment as compensation when hedecided to end things due to his fading interest.
Madelyn didn’t possess many belongings, so organizing the already tidy room was a quick. task. Shepushed open the glass door that connected the room to the balcony courtyard and stepped outside. Toher delight, she discovered that the flowers her mother had once cared for
were still flourishing. In one corner, an easel stood, indicating that this was where her mother used topaint. She walked over and leaned against the railing, feeling the gentle breeze caressing her face asshe absorbed the captivating light and scenery. From this vantage point, she even caught a glimpse ofEthan’s room.
Madelyn suddenly felt that this room on the fifth floor was her own private sanctuary compared to heroriginal room. From now on, she could lock herself in here and indulge in whatever activities shedesired. The only minor inconvenience was the need to navigate the stairs, but at least Zach would nolonger have a reason or excuse to enter her room.
Filled with a sense of elation, Madelyn flopped onto the bed and playfully rolled around.
Rosario entered the room, clutching a framed sunflower painting.
“Madelyn, you just made the bed. Don’t mess it up,” she said.
“Rosario, you don’t have to clean my room anymore, especially since you have trouble with your legs.I’ll take care of it myself, and I’ll even handle my own laundry,” Madelyn replied. Then she added,“Rosario, please leave the painting here.”
“Okay.” Zach’s voice unexpectedly interrupted.
Madelyn immediately sat up on her knees, pulling the blanket off her head. She inquired, ” Hey, whatbrings you here? Are you feeling better?”
Zach coughed lightly a few times. “I’m getting there. If you don’t like it here, you can move to my room.The higher floor and the hassle of going up and down the stairs might be inconvenient for you.”
“It’s fine, really. It’s a good opportunity to get some exercise. Besides, the view from here is. stunning,and I can sit on the balcony at night to admire the stars. You don’t need to worry about me,” Madelynreplied.
Suddenly, Zach walked over to the edge of the bed, placing his large and comforting hand on top of herhead. “I’m just concerned that you might feel disheartened.”
In her mind, Madelyn cursed at him, ‘Uncomfortable? How could I even dare to feel disheartened? Ifyou can simply spare my life, I’d be eternally grateful.
