Female Novel
Chapter 495
"Remember I'm your father? But for something as big as your engagement, you didn't even call me?"
Hayson asked.
Madelyn felt all mixed up. Her father had never talked to her much, and in the past year, he had only
called a few times. Usually, Zach took care of things when there were problems. 'He must be calling
now just to look like a good father in front of Ethan.'
She said quickly, "I'm sorry, Father. I was gonna tell everyone in a few days. How are you and
Jasmine?"
"We're good. But you shouldn't hide your engagement from me. We'll talk more when I'm back."
"I..." Madelyn's heart raced, and she looked at Ethan for help.
Ethan reached for her phone and smiled, "I've got this. You go freshen up."
Madelyn nodded without saying anything and handed her phone to Ethan. Then, she rushed into the
bathroom like it was a race.
She splashed her face with cold water to wake herself up completely. At first, she thought Ethan was
just making a casual remark about the engagement.
In the last few days, she didn't really think much about it. But now, he was being serious.
After she finished her morning routine, Madelyn went to her big closet to change. The bathroom and
bedroom were separate, and when she opened the glass door, she stepped into a big room filled with
her clothes, shoes, bags, and jewelry.
Ethan had taken care of everything, from what she wore to even her socks. Everything was specially
made and you couldn't find it anywhere else.
Madelyn put on a light dress made of knitted linen, braided her hair, and let it hang over one shoulder.
When she came out, Ethan had just finished the call. "Yep... I'll make sure Madelyn's fine, don't worry,
Hayson."
Hearing that, she thought, 'Did he call my father by his first name? He changed so fast?'
When Ethan saw her, he couldn't take his eyes off her. He reached out, and Madelyn walked over to
him. He gave her a one-armed hug and rested his head on her shoulder. "What... What did my father
say?"
"We talked about the wedding plans. They're coming back today, and it's a good time for both families
to have a meal together."
"So soon? But I'm not ready yet." Madelyn gently moved away, but Ethan held her waist.
"Ready for what? Ready to be Mrs. Arnold or ready for this engagement thing? Madelyn... you agreed
to this, right?"
Madelyn covered her face with her hands. "I thought we could at least wait until after my exams."
Ethan nodded and hugged her lovingly once more. "It won't mess up your exams, just like before. You
don't have to do anything. Just stick by my side." He added in his mind, '... and be a good girl.'
Madelyn didn't say anything else. She let Ethan lead her away, with a photographer following, snapping
pictures of this sweet couple about to get engaged.
When they reached the downstairs area, Madelyn was surprised by what she saw. In the big livingnovelbin
room, there were all sorts of dresses and jewelry on display, and more than a dozen people.
A lady in a black suit and a pencil skirt approached with a smile. "Mr. Arnold, you can leave Miss Jent
to us now."
Madelyn looked at Ethan, unsure.
Ethan said, "Go ahead."
"What's happening?" Madelyn was whisked away before she could figure it out.
Ethan went to the sofa, picked up a newspaper, and sipped his coffee.
Madelyn was taken to a room downstairs and made to sit. Her neatly braided hair was unraveled, and
four or five makeup artists started working on her.
