Rosario was cooking. Madelyn narrowed her eyes and glanced at the time. It was only six in themorning, and the sun was just starting to rise outside.
“What are you doing up this early? Go back to sleep for a little longer. The food will be ready in a bit.”
Madelyn hugged Rosario’s waist from behind and placed her chin on Rosario’s shoulder. Her narrowedeyes resembled a sleepy and cute kitten that had just opened its eyes. There was even a strand of hairsticky up on her forehead.
“What delicious food are you making?”
Rosario said, “It’s greasy in here. Quick, go back outside, and don’t get yourself dirty. I’ve alreadybought you toiletries. My place isn’t like your house, so you need to make do and use some genericbrands for now. I’ll bring you your things tonight.”
“What’s wrong with generic brands? I like anything as long as you’re the one buying it.”
“Stop blabbering and go wash up. After I’m done with this dish, breakfast will be ready.”
“Alright.”
The pair of pajamas Madelyn wore used to belong to Rosario. Its design unmistakably outdated andtailored for the elderly. Yet, despite their antiquated style, the pajamas possessed a certain charm whenworn by Madelyn.
Heading to the bathroom, Madelyn slipped her feet into transparent slides. After finishing her morningroutine, she emerged from the bathroom to find that Rosario had already left without even havingbreakfast. Alone in the room, Madelyn settled down to eat.
Before Rosario left, she had reminded Madelyn to go to school and not to be late. However, Madelynhad no intention of going to school that day. The thought of being expelled held little significance for hernow.
Madelyn did not eat much, and just chucked the leftovers into the fridge. Her plan for the day involvedexploring the surrounding area, hoping to discover anything else she might be able to purchase.
When Rosario left, she gave Madelyn few hundred bucks and told her to buy something with themoney. Madelyn was not planning to just spend the money carelessly.

“Oh?! Where are you headed, Madelyn?”
Madelyn locked the door, “I plan on taking a look around the area. How about you, Shelley?”
“Me? I’m about to do some laundry. Madelyn… Your mother’s been living here for over ten years now.How come I’ve never seen you in the past?”
Madelyn chuckled, “I didn’t go to school here, so I’ve barely had any time to visit. I have some free timenow, so I came back to visit my mom.”
“I see! How old are you? Do you have a boyfriend yet?”
“I’m eighteen this year. I’m sitting for my college entrance exams soon, so I don’t want to date for now.It’s not the time yet.”
“Oh, but you’re so pretty! You must have many boys chasing after you. It’s okay for youngsters to date.It’s better to date when you’re still young… It’s not much use for girls to go to college since they need to
get married and stay home to raise their children. You might as well get married early,” said Shelley.
Then, she walked over, acting as if she knew Madelyn really well.
“Coincidentally, I’ve got a son who’s around your age. His looks and yours are somewhat of a goodmatch…”
The smile on Madelyn’s face gradually fell, “Thank you for your kind intentions, Shelly. However, I don’thave any plans regarding these matters for now. I’ll be leaving now.”
“Eh? I think you’re quite the looker, so your future children will surely look beautiful. Why don’t youreconsider? We can offer you a hundred thousand dollars of dowry.”
Madelyn went downstairs and disappeared into the corner.
Shelley looked in Madelyn’s direction and rolled her eyes.
“Hmph! She’s so arrogant. She must think she’s a goddess… She’s like the other girls out there, sowhat’s there to pretend?”
Madelyn’s originally bright mood had been ruined.
‘I’m only 18, and she’s introducing marriage suitors to me?’ she thought.
