The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 742

‘Father probably never guessed anyone would enter his room,’ Madelyn thought. She noticed shoesbeneath the door and the sound of approaching footsteps. Hurrying, she sat in her father’s chair andaccidentally hurt herself. Wincing from the pain, she tried to stay still as Zach walked in.

Zach came in with his clothes speckled with water droplets and closed the door. “Did Dal wake you?”

Madelyn looked down. Dalton was not crying anymore, but his little face was flushed, and he gave asmall cough. “Let me hold him. Your hand is still injured.”novelbin

Madelyn tightened her grip on Dalton. ” Why do you smell like gas? What happened?” Zach replied,“My car broke down on my way back. I fixed it. I’m going to hop in the shower now.”

As Zach walked off, a nagging feeling told Madelyn he was hiding something. Once she was certain hewas upstairs, she placed Dalton gently on the comfy couch. She hit a switch under the desk, andmoments later, a shelf with an antique figurine started to shift. Surprise welled up inside her.

Madelyn looked at the bed where an old photo album lay on the neatly folded blankets. She opened itto a page with a black and white photo, its edges curling with age. The photo depicted a tall man with adistinguished face, wearing a coat.

A silver chain dangled from his neck, and he smiled warmly, his hands resting on her mother’sshoulders. Her mother’s face was lit up with a gentle smile. As Madelyn flipped through the album, shesaw this man in numerous pictures, always beside her mother. ‘ Who is this man?’
