Female Novel
Chapter 369
Madelyn answered the phone, and they talked about trivial matters like what she ate and what she did.
It was like he would set a time to call her every day. Most of the time, Ethan was the one who called
since Madelyn rarely used her phone and would only send him a text when she remembered.
About seven or eight minutes later, the pasta was cooked, and Madelyn strained it.
"Sorry the banquet ended this late, Mr. Arnold. Would you do me the honor of having a drink with me?"
Suddenly, a gentle and soothing voice of a woman came from the other end.
Madelyn got distracted and scalded her hand while straining the pasta.
Megan had just left the banquet venue and approached Ethan when she saw him on the balcony. She
immediately fell silent when she saw him turn around with a phone in hand.
Ethan looked icily at Megan, and she was startled by his gaze.
Just as he was about to explain himself, he heard the person on the phone say, "I'll be hanging up if
you're busy. Get back to the hotel and get some rest soon."
Madelyn hung up the phone, and the call ended. She did not ask him for an explanation, even though
she clearly heard the entire conversation. She even acted understanding and did not pry at all.
For a moment, Ethan felt a little disappointed.
Ethan stuck his phone into his suit pocket. He now emanated a chilling aura. He walked past Megan
and coldly ignored her.
Suddenly, she spoke, "Sorry. I didn't know you were on the phone."
Ethan slowed down his pace.
"Is that so? Then you should be more careful in the future. You're not worthy of speaking to me with
that status of yours."
Leyton came inside with a pink gift bag in hand, "Sir, I've bought the gift Ms. Jent wanted."
"She didn't mention the flavor she wanted, so I bought one of each," he added.
Ethan pressed the elevator's down button and said, "Well done."
The two had not spoken in two days since the phone call and mostly texted each other. However,
Madelyn received the cotton candy that Ethan had bought for her in Marisburg and got someone to
bring it to her. While cotton candy was also sold in Ventropolis, Madelyn still preferred the taste of those
from Marisburg.
Coincidentally, today was the day of the entrance exam to the Math Olympiad class. Needless to say,
Madelyn was the only one in the special math class qualified to do so.
Madelyn went to the front and handed in her paper. Hank placed her paper at the top of the pile and
said, "Work hard and don't let Mr. Newton down. He and I have high hopes for you."
Madelyn replied, "I will, sir."
By the time Madelyn finished her exam, Mya was already waiting for her at the classroom door. She
held the straps of her school bag and looked even more nervous than Madelyn.
When she saw Madelyn walk out of the classroom, she immediately went up to her, "Madelyn, was it
hard? You're really smart, so you've gotta have faith in yourself. I believe you'll definitely get first place."
Madelyn was a little overwhelmed by Mya's chattering. She had never met someone as talkative as
her. She was like a mosquito that kept on buzzing into her ear.
"Aren't you going for lunch?" asked Madelyn.
"I was waiting for you. I wanted to eat with you after you finished your paper. Besides, there are some
questions I don't quite understand and want to ask you about."
Madelyn stared at Mya's innocent doe-like eyes and quickly looked away, "Well... Let's go then."
Mya had been pestering Madelyn for quite some time. Ever since Madelyn had helped Mya, the dorky-
looking girl had been buying snacks and secretly stuffing them into her desk during recess.
Among the snacks Mya would give Madelyn, there was always milk candy, despite the fact that
Madelyn did not have a sweet tooth. In fact, she would always get toothaches after eating candy.novelbin
Once, Madelyn had tried returning the snacks, but Mya had looked at her with pitiful eyes, and her
pleading gaze had made Madelyn feel guilty.
Madelyn had never been so scared of making someone cry. She wanted to see Mya smile and was
willing to sacrifice her own smile to do so.
