The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning By Max Charming novel Chapter 415

'Because I already know what I want. I want to accept the affection and protection he gives me. Humans are selfish creatures... I know what awaits me if I return to the Jent family without Ethan. That's why I can play dumb even if he still has lingering feelings for Donna. Currently, I need Ethan, whether it's using him or merely treating him as my emotional support. But I don't feel guilty toward him because I genuinely want to like him and be with him,' Madelyn thought.

She lamented, 'But this is under the premise that I can accomplish my plans. Even if we part ways in the future, I won't need to rely on others. Equity was never a part of the equation. In the future, Ethan will only see the Madelyn I want to show him. Relationships and marriages are the same. One cannot stop the other if they want to cheat.'

"No worries. I'll get used to it eventually. Besides, I rarely leave the house. I spend most of my time at school. If anything, I'll just ignore what others say."

Madelyn acted mature and knew how to make Ethan happy.

She glanced at the empty living room, "She left?"

"Yep. She has dementia and tends to wander around at night. I had Marta send her home," replied Ethan.

"Is that so? She seems pretty lucid. I didn't expect her to have dementia," Madelyn said as she pushed him away. She continued, "I won't be making the cinnamon oatmeal then. I'll go back to my room and finish my homework. I've still got a bit more before I'm done."

"Alright."

Madelyn smiled slightly, "You should get some rest, too."
