Female Novel
Chapter 633
"I heard from Jane that you haven't been going to the studio?"
Madelyn pursed her lips. She felt some come up behind her and wrap their arms around her waist. She
pinched Zach's hand to signal him to stop moving.
"Sorry, Prof. Monet. I've been feeling unwell, so I was at the hospital. I forgot to inform Jane about it."
"What are you down with?"
"Just a mild fever. I'll be discharged tomorrow," she replied.
"It's been raining a lot recently. Stay warm and take care of your health."
"I will, sir."
Madelyn waited for Leonardo to hang up before she put her phone away. She wanted to push Zach
away, but her struggle was to no avail. In the end, she gave up. "How much longer will you hold me?
There are other people in the room."
"They won't look," he replied.
Madelyn retorted, "You're making me uncomfortable. Let go."
Zach scrutinized her face. The swelling had almost gone away. Other than the unknown marks on her
face, she had almost recovered.
'She's gone through so much and been to so many places over the past four years, yet her skin is still
so smooth and flawless,' he thought.
He caressed the skin under her clothes with his rough thumb. Madelyn frowned and glared at him in
disgust, "Don't push it."
Zach ignored her words. He held her hand and led her to the dining table. Then, he pulled a chair for
her and signaled her to sit. He sat across her and said, "Have some. These were made according to
your liking."
"When do you plan on returning to Ventropolis? Do you not have other things to do?"
Madelyn did not have much appetite, so she only took a few bites of the food. She bowed her head to
hide the emotions in her eyes.
"Shall I make some more time to be with you?"
"There's no need," Madelyn replied without hesitation.
"But I want to."
Madelyn felt annoyed at the thought of how he would be staying in France.
"Go find something to do if you have nothing to do."
Madelyn ate less than half of the food and set down her cutlery. Then, she took a book and sat on the
couch.
She absentmindedly flipped through the book and thought of the odd things Yvonne had said.
'Why'd she ask me to return to Ventropolis and take a look? What happened at Ventropolis?' she
wondered.
Madelyn looked down. A photo had fallen out of the pages of the book. It was a photograph of a
landscape she had casually taken at her room door. After she developed the photo, she wrote
something behind it, "After every storm comes a rainbow."
When she heard the footsteps coming from behind, she quickly wiped away her tears. She kept the
photograph and closed the book. Then, she felt the seat next to hers sink. Zach put one arm around
her waist and reached the other out to grab the book.
Madelyn stood up warily and kept some distance from him. She did not want to be in his presence.novelbin
"Stand right there. Where do you want to go again this time?"
Rght after Zach finished his sentence, Cecilia appeared at the door.
Madelyn did not respond and walked past Cecilia.
Meanwhile, Zach watched dangerously as Madelyn walked out. Then, he turned to Cecilia.
"What is it?"
Cecilia walked up to him, "How much longer do you plan on giving me the silent treatment?"
She continued, "All this just because of that one slap? If I didn't come to you, would you purposefully be
with Madelyn to piss me off?"
"In our past life, you wouldn't have done this," she added.
