The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning

Chapter 431
“I’ll never be able to get their attention even if I die. He, on the other hand, didn’t have to lift a finger to get our father’s affection,”
Ethan said.
Madelyn did not know what to say. She had always thought that Ethan stood at the top of Ventropolis and was untouchable.
However, no one knew he had a broken family, just like her. Perhaps that was why they were so desperate to form a complete
family of their own, because of how unfortunate their lives were,
“God works in mysterious ways, it seems. He gave you financial status, but he took away other things, too. Honestly, we’re still
fortunate compared to most people,” Ethan mused.
Madelyn did not think she was a greedy person. All she wanted was freedom and the right to make her own choices.
Ethan ran his hand through his curly hair and said, “You’re all I have left, Madelyn. You’ll still stay by my side, won’t you?”
Madelyn felt pressured by the weight of Ethan’s words. In reality, he was not alone and had many people by his side. Besides,
Madelyn also knew that Ethan had met Donna during his darkest times and that Donna was the one who had pulled Ethan out of
the abyss.
Madelyn understood Ethan. She knew even though Donna had betrayed him in the past, he would never let her go. Donna was
not just a thing of the past to Ethan, and the relationship they had was irreplaceable. When Donna left, Ethan reverted back to
his past behavior. All Madelyn had done was coincidentally appear just as he was about to end his life.

She understood that the relationship they had could not be interfered with. Now that Donna was back, Madelyn felt like an
outsider and a third wheel. Madelyn just smiled and stayed silent. She trusted that Ethan still loved her, yet she knew he could
not let go of Donna.
Madelyn looked into his eyes and felt like she was being drawn into them. She stared at him quietly at first, but she could not
bear it and said to him, “There are so many fish in the sea, you know. I’m not the only one you have left. Everything’s gonna be
okay.”
Ethan was at a loss for words. Madelyn saw Ethan suppressing his anger and said, “Let’s not eat the pastina. It’s already gone
cold.”

Ethan agreed, “Sure.”
Deep down, they both knew that their relationship was destined to fail, even though they never openly acknowledged it. Donna
was a ticking time bomb that would always come between them. Madelyn seemed to have sensed this as well.
As for Madelyn, she could only take things one step at a time.
One of the Jent family members had come to check on her and had already left.
In the study of the Southern Haven Villas, Hayson was shouting in rage, “What’s this about Madelyn’s hysterectomy? How long
have you been keeping this from me?”
Zach lowered his head and apologized, “I’m sorry, Father.”
There was nothing else he could say.
As Hayson stared at the person before him, he was forced to swallow his anger. He shut his eyes and toyed with the bracelet in
his hand before asking, “Who else knows about this besides you?”
Zach answered, “Ethan Arnold.”
