Chapter 307

Madelyn was in high spirits. She went to the kitchen and put on an apron before taking out the

ingredients from the fridge to personally make the cake.

Rosario walked to her, "Do you need my help?"

Madelyn refused, "No. I've done it several times, so I've got the hang of it. You can go and do

something else, Rosario."

"Alright, then. If you need anything, just ask for me."

"Sure." Madelyn replied.

A walnut cake was not difficult to make. Jadie walked into the kitchen and looked at Madelyn, who was

busy, and curiously asked, "Madelyn, since when did you know how to make walnut cake? Can you

teach me?"

Madelyn, "I learned from Rosario. If you want to learn how, I can send you a tutorial video and the

recipe! It's not that difficult."

Jadie replied, "Sure! I'll watch you make it now. Zach is talking with the others and I have no idea what

they're talking about, so I came to see what you're doing. Do you need my help?"

Madelyn, "You can help me wash these dishes. I'm halfway through. Just be careful."novelbin

"Okay." Jadie nodded, rolling up her sleeves. She then adjusted the tap water's temperature and

asked, "Madelyn, how did you meet Mr. Arnold? I can tell he likes you."

Madelyn was mashing the steamed walnuts, with her eyes down and very focused. She did not answer

Jadie's question, but changed the topic by asking, "How are you doing in the Math Olympiad training

class? When I was there back then, the workbook that Mr. Newton gave me was quite difficult. I've only

done half of them so far."

Jadie replied, "It's okay. It's just that the pressure to study in Class One is really intense. I spend every

day studying and solving questions. I don't have any free time for myself." She sighed deeply before

continuing, "At school, if there's anything I don't understand, I ask Mr. Newton. When I'm at home, I

usually ask Zach, but he's been coming home late recently, so for now I've had to leave any questions I

don't understand.

"What about you? Do you blame me for taking your spot? For preventing you from getting into the Math

Olympiad training class?"

Madelyn shook her head, "I don't. It's a matter of competition. That's how it works in Class One. As

long as your grades are good, no one will complain no matter what you do. There are opportunities

everywhere. That's what Ms. Hann told me."

Jadie, "That's true... Sigh. Anyway, how's your relationship with Yvonne now?"

Madelyn glanced at her, "Why?"

She wondered, 'Is this about what happened yesterday?'

Jadie's eyes were downcast as she was busy washing the dishes. She explained in a sad tone, "I

overheard the conversation between Mr. Jent and Zach yesterday. Mr. Jent wants Zach to be with

Yvonne! Madelyn, what should we do?"

Madelyn pretended to ponder and put on a distressed face as she responded, "I don't know, but if Zach

likes her, as his sister, I'll support them."

It seemed Jadie had not expected such an answer, as she let go of the plate she was holding and it fell

into the sink. She forced a smile, "But...don't you like Zach? Are you just going to let him be with

someone else so easily?"

Madelyn smiled slightly as she looked at Jadie, "I do like him, but...it's the kind of liking a sister has for

her brother. Besides, feelings can't be forced.

"Anyway, I'll go and check if there's any caramel sauce in the fridge."

Madelyn did not want to continue chatting with Jadie about Zach.

The walnut cake that Madelyn made was almost ready. She had made enough for about eight people.

The cake and the other dishes were then served. At the dining table, Ethan sat at the head, Hayson sat

on the left, Zach sat next to Hayson, Madelyn sat on Ethan's right, and Jadie sat next to her.

The large table was filled with five people's worth of dishes. They would definitely not be able to finish

them all in one meal.

Hayson looked kind as he said with a smile, "These are just some humble home-cooked dishes. Mr.

Arnold, I hope you don't mind."

"Of course not," Ethan glanced at Madelyn as he said.

Hayson, "That's great. Madelyn, take some food for Mr. Arnold."

Madelyn then took a piece of carne frita in front of her and a piece of walnut cake for Ethan.

She said, "Try it and see if it's too sweet. If it's too sweet, I'll put less sugar next time."

"Did you make this too?" Ethan asked as he picked up the carne frita.

Madelyn nodded and intentionally lied, "I don't really know how to prepare many dishes, just these

two."

"Okay. I'll try it." Ethan said.

Madelyn asked, "How does it taste?"
