The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 889
“You’re always so carefree, Mya. You get bullied, and then you just forget about it, not holding a grudge at all. I wonder who you
take after,” Grace said, kinda scolding but feeling sad about how Mya had been treated.
Mya said, “Mom, go ask Dad to come down for dinner.”
“Your father’s still caught up in a meeting; he won’t be back until late,” replied Grace.
Ever since the company was severely depleted by Luke, it was in a weakened state. Only when Madelyn extended a helping
hand under the name of Jardin Corporation during the crisis that the Harper Nutritional Enterprise was saved from ruin.
Mya’s parents had thought Luke was an honest man and believed that Mya’s marriage to him would help the company. However,
they didn’t expect his greed. Not only did he and his family swindle a lot of company money, but they also tried to take over the
company entirely.
Now, as Mya’s parents were getting older and the company was struggling, they worried about what would happen to Mya after
they were gone, especially if the company ended up in the hands of strangers.
During this time, Mya stayed home, often talking on the phone with Madelyn. Mya lay on the floor, holding the phone with one
hand and rubbing her big belly with the other. She told Madelyn, “My baby’s been so good recently, not causing me any trouble. I
can even eat two more portions of Mediterranean rice than usual now. How is Dal? Is he being good?”
On the other end of the phone call, Madelyn, in her room, felt an indescribable feeling. She truly envied Mya; no matter what
happened, Mya always managed to stay happy, never letting anything weigh on her mind.
‘If Mya decides to keep the baby, I’ll respect her decision. As long as she’s willing to accept it, at least the child... will be her own
flesh and blood. And I...’ Madelyn thought. Madelyn replied, “Dal has been good, not giving me any trouble.”
“Madelyn... who do you think the baby will take after it’s born? I hope it doesn’t turn out like that bad seed. It should be more like
me,” said Mya.
“Mya, you need to get enough rest. Make sure you don’t catch a cold, okay? “advised Madelyn.
“Don’t worry, I’m all bundled up,” Mya assured her. After a few more exchanges, Madelyn ended the call. Back at Mya’s side, the
call was unexpectedly cut off.

“Why is there no signal on the phone, Mom?” Mya asked, puzzled. Grace came in from outside, explaining, “The servants are on
it now; it seems the whole house has lost its signal. Strange, we can’t even make calls or watch TV.”
“I guess I’ll read a book then,” Mya said.
‘Reading a book? That is something new. Mya had always not been a fan of reading; she would doze off the moment she picked
up a book, but now she is starting to read. I’m glad she picked up that habit. No matter what she’s reading, the fact that she was
flipping through books is already a good sign.’ Grace thought to herself.
When Mya’s father, Simon Harper, came home, Grace shared the news, which made him very pleased. He went upstairs, and
softly opened the door to find Mya asleep in a thick nightgown, spread-eagled on the bed. He gently covered her with the blanket
she had kicked to the floor.
After Simon stepped out of the room, Grace asked, “How’s the company doing? Have the finances been sorted out?”
Looking all tired and older from his recent troubles, especially after being in the hospital, Simon seemed really worn out. He said,
‘The company is okay now. That bastard took millions away from us and conspired with our finance dept to make fake records. If
Jardin Corporation didn’t step in, I might be in jail right now.’
“We supported Luke because he seemed so decent and hardworking. How did he end up like this?” Grace asked. Simon
scoffed, “He’s an animal, that’s all he is!”
“And what’s happening with him? What did the court decide?” Grace asked.
“Jardin Corporation’s legal team is handling it. They filed the case not too long ago, and the trial is about to start. They say Luke
might have to spend at least thirty years in jail. Prison won’t be easy for him.”
“Don’t stress too much, honey. Your health matters most now,” Grace comforted Simon, giving his chest a gentle pat. “Lately, I’ve
overheard the staff talking about some strange folks hanging around our neighborhood. And out of the blue, we’re having
problems with our signals at home.”
Simon nodded seriously, adding, “I also find that odd too.”
