Chapter 662

Madelyn often clung to memories of her mom. Even though she knew the visions were not real shewelcomed them. Her mother’s face was a blur, but her voice was unmistakably clear in Madelyn’s mind.

“That glass of milk brings back haunting memories. They cut deep, hurting more than words canexpress. I’ve kept those feelings locked away, bearing the pain they cause. Every detail from the pastremains vivid. Zach, there’ve been so many times I’ve wanted to kill you.”

Following Madelyn’s heartfelt confession, Zach remained unmoved, viewing her not as a threat. Hegently scooped her up and laid her on

the bed.

“Just rest,” he said.

After she drifted off to sleep, he went to another room and smoked most of a pack of cigarettes. Theroom was thick with smoke by the time Kevin walked in. Coughing slightly, he reported, “Ms. Young hasbeen informed of your return. A room’s been prepared for Ms. Jent,

styled like it used to be.”

“She won’t be staying at the Young residence. I’ve got other plans. Plus, I don’t plan on returning thereanytime soon.”

Kevin nodded, “Understood.”

They reached Ventropolis in the evening. The airport, now renovated, was not as Madelyn recalled. Acrisp winter breeze greeted her as she stepped out from the private terminal. But once inside the car,the heater ensured they stayed cozy.

Madelyn gazed out at Ventropolis, its old buildings now overshadowed by skyscrapers. As they drove,she thought, ‘Isn’t this the way to

Southern Haven Villas? But I thought Father sold it?”

Catching her thoughtful pose, Zach said, “I bought it back after Hayson sold it.” His voice carried a hintof sadness that Madelyn picked up

1. on.

Upon arriving at the villa, Madelyn saw lights in the living room and maids bustling about, ‘Are thereguests here?’ Noticing the slightly opened front door, she hesitated but then felt an intense tension fromZach and cautiously moved forward.

“You’re back?”

She was not expecting to find Yvonne inside her once–familiar home. Dressed in an apron with her hairpulled back, she greeted Madelyn with a friendly smile. “Come on over,” she invited, leading her to thecouch. “I’ve got some soup on the way. Want some fruit while you

wait?”

As bodyguards moved the luggage from the car, Madelyn watched Yvonne approach with a puzzledexpression.

“I wasn’t sure which fruits you liked, so I sliced up a variety. I need to get back to the kitchen.”

Madelyn remained silent. Moments later, Zach’s cold voice broke the silence, “Who invited you here?”

Yvonne attempted a smile, her fingers playing with her apron, “I wanted to do something for you.”novelbin

Zach’s eyes darkened, “Get out.”

Trying to ease the mood, Yvonne said, “Zach, I meant well. We’ve been engaged for so long, and I justwanted to cook a meal for you.”
