Chapter 500
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning
Leaving his office, Zach and Kevin headed to the meeting room. Around six-thirty in the evening, Madelyn didnât wear fancy clothes. She wore a matching outfit with Ethan, which he had picked out for them.
When Hayson and Jasmine arrived, Jasmine kindly held Madelynâs hand and they walked into the hall, saying, â I canât believe youâre getting engaged so soon. I donât have anything special to give you. If you donât mind, take this bracelet. I bought it just for you.â
âThank you, Jasmine,â Madelyn replied, not wanting to say no, though she still felt a bit uneasy about it.
Jasmine put the bracelet on Madelynâs wrist. It was see-through and fancy, definitely expensive. The bracelet was clear and translucent. It was undoubtedly expensive.
In her mind, Madelyn thought, âFather mustâve bought it for Jasmine. Now that sheâs carrying the Jent family heir, Fatherâs spoiling her, and she can buy anything she wants.â
Jasmine was wearing a tight dark green dress today, looking very classy. Her baby bump was easy to see.
Hayson and Ethan went into the study, and Madelyn couldnât hear what they were talking about. When they came out, it was time for the banquet.
Hayson laughed heartily from upstairs, âHahaha⦠Ethan, I trust Madelyn with you completely. Iâve spoiled her since she was little. If she ever acts like a child, Iâll leave it to you to take care of her.â
âSure thing, Hayson.â
The two on the couch got up, and Madelyn walked over to Ethan. âIs everything ready?â
Ethan took Madelynâs hand and nodded. âYep.â
âWhat did you guys chat about?â
Ethan leaned in and whispered in her ear, âIâll fill you in tonight.â Jasmine teased, âOh, whispering secrets now, are we? Is there something youâre hiding from us?â
Madelyn blushed at just one word. âWe didnât talk about anything.â Ethan added, âLetâs take our seats.
âGeorge, whereâs Evelyn?â Madelyn asked.
George replied, âSheâs on her way, should be here soon.â This time, Hayson took the head seat at the table, with Madelyn and Ethan on the left, and Jasmine on the right.
Jasmine asked, âOh, Hayson, what about Zach? Has he arrived yet?â Hayson replied, âHe should be here soon. There might be some traffic.â
As Zachâs name came up, Ethanâs gaze shifted toward Madelyn, his eyes filled with uncertainty. Under the table, his hand gently squeezed Madelynâs. âNo need to be too nervous.
Madelyn mustered a smile. âIâm not.â She returned the squeeze, her palm feeling a bit sweaty. Just as she finished speaking, a commotion outside caught their attention, and a black Audi pulled up to the entrance.
A servant hurried forward to open the car door, and Zach and Jadie stepped out.
