The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 701

Madelyn had no idea what Zach was doing in the silent living room. ‘Is it because he cares about what I just said? Is it repentance? Or regret for everything he had done to me?’

Madelyn knew Zach well; he was never a kind person. He was decisive and ruthless, never regretting his decisions. Zach used Forrest to gain control of the Arnold Corporation. When Forrest was desperate and used her life as a threat, he did not care at all. In the end, Forrest chose to jump off the building. He inexplicably apologized to Madelyn before pushing her away and committing suicide.

Madelyn cowered in fear on the ground. As her husband, he could have helped her stand up with a simple step forward, but he did not. His indifferent gaze even met hers before he left with Cecilia. Madelyn had experienced Zach’s cruelty firsthand. Hence, now she had a second lifetime, she did not believe Zach would show any mercy to anyone.

After washing up, Madelyn sat at the bedside and silently reading the book she got from the abbot. Around 11 p.m., feeling drowsy, she put the book on her bedside and turned off the light to sleep.

In the living room, smoke filled the air. Cigarette butts overflowed from the ashtray on the coffee table, and ashes scattered around. Zach was unsure how much Madelyn knew. He had never experienced these emotions in the past.

‘A child… Madelyn’s child?’

Zach had never thought of having his own child. Even if he did, he knew he would not be a good father. Plus, marriage had always seemed so dull and uninteresting to him. If he truly wanted a child one day, he could have one whenever he wanted because there were always so many women eager to please him.

The two crucial keywords, “marriage” and “child”, created a vivid scene in Zach’s mind. Suddenly, a thought emerged, one he had never even considered with any woman before.

‘If I had a child with Madelyn…’

The mental image suddenly conjured a scene. It was in Floral Loft, and Madelyn was holding a child. As the child is a product of both of them, she stood before him, genuinely smiling,” You’re back? The meal is ready, and the baby has been good today!”

Zach closed his eyes as if in a dream. There was an inexplicable emotion welling up in his heart. He wanted to maintain this scene and see what would happen with her and his child.

For the first time, Zach fantasized about having a child with a woman. Before this, all these were just a burden to him. Building a family with anyone made no sense to him. However, all those thoughts evaporated when he tried to think about it again.

Many things were already predetermined. Madelyn had her uterus removed because she had been drugged. She could have never had her own child in this lifetime, and this was a fact.

At some point, Zach deviated from the original path toward his goal. He felt he was losing something gradually. Having Madelyn removed her uterus was the goal Zach had wanted to achieve.

‘Before this, I never regretted any of my decisions, but when did I start feeling remorseful? Was it when I drove Madelyn to a dead end, and she escaped to Portsmouth Fishing Village by jumping into the sea? Or was it when I found out she had her uterus removed? Or when I watched her repeatedly face danger, standing by and even secretly instructing people to kill her? Or even earlier?’

A great restlessness consumed him. Zach had grown up in a world of coldness and survival of the fittest. The darkness and shadowy paths were like the filthy, lightless sewers. He had never allowed himself to have complicated emotions.

‘Do I care about Madelyn?’

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 702

Zach continued to muse, ‘The person I had called a fool hundreds of times… When did I start feeling this way? Is it regret? Am I regretful?’

He was genuinely perplexed. He was even less clear about his feelings for Madelyn, though he did not want what belonged to him to leave. So, Zach sneaked into her room countless nights, desiring to possess her over and over again. He wanted Madelyn to become the Madelyn from before, the girl who only loved him. Even if it required every means at his disposal, he wanted to keep her by his side.

‘If it is love, I can try to love her. Even if she doesn’t accept it now, she will someday. If she wants a child so badly, I can give her a child.’

The following morning, as the first light of dawn broke, Madelyn unexpectedly heard a baby crying. She opened her eyes groggily and stared at the ceiling. After a few minutes, the distinct cry of a baby echoed once more. She looked to the side of the bed, but the pillow showed no signs of being slept on, night?’ ‘Did he stay up all night last

Madelyn curiously opened the bedroom door and walked into the living room. Then, the scene she saw left her speechless. Zach held a baby in his arms, with Kevin providing guidance nearby. “The baby must be hungry.”

Madelyn stood there in stunned silence. She ran a hand through her hair and blinked her eyes a few times, her brows furrowing as she looked at the table piled with baby items, “What are you doing? Where did this baby come from?”

Two pairs of eyes simultaneously turned toward Madelyn as she walked over. She was dressed in a nightgown, revealing her legs, and wore slippers. Zach got up from the sofa, and Kevin took the baby.

“Did you take the baby? Does his parents even know? They must be worried!”

Zach walked over with a blanket and draped it over her, “You don’t like it?”

“I’m asking you, where did this baby come from?” Madelyn asked angrily. Kevin said, “Mr. Jardin originally intended to adopt a child from the orphanage. While driving by, we spotted an abandoned baby at the orphanage’s entrance. So, we decided to bring the baby home.”

Madelyn was momentarily perplexed, ” Adopt from an orphanage? You found the baby? Do you think I’d believe that? I’ll call the police right now and report you for child abduction.”

Madelyn actually called the police. In less than fifteen minutes, two police officers arrived. It was Madelyn who opened the door for them. The police asked, “Who stole the child? Where is the child?”

When they entered, the two police officers’ stern expressions softened upon seeing Zach, “Mr. Jardin, we received a report that you stole a child?

“Wah!” The baby had been crying incessantly since being brought home. Its voice had become hoarse. Kevin felt the warmth and dampness on his arm with a strange smell. His face turned dark instantly, “M-Mr. Jardin, this child…”

‘Did he poop?’

Zach, who stayed up all night, massaged his temple due to a headache. Madelyn could not bear to see the baby crying and walked over, “Give him to me.”

When Madelyn touched the baby, she was shocked to notice that the baby’s face looked off. She leaned in to check the baby’s forehead with her face, ” He’s running a high fever. He must be sick. Didn’t you know? He needs to go to the hospital.”

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 703

No matter what, he was still a child. Madelyn could not just leave him crying incessantly like this, ‘What is Zach thinking? It’s too absurd to bring a baby home like this.’

After reaching the nearest hospital, the baby was taken to the emergency room immediately. Kevin followed with two large bags of baby supplies.

They waited outside the emergency room. After examination, the doctor said, “The child has a high fever and has been sick for quite a few days. His condition is serious, and he needs treatment at the hospital. Given his weak condition, it’s uncertain whether he can pull through.”

“Okay, thank you.”

The baby was taken into the intensive care unit. For the first time, Madelyn felt Zach was acting particularly childish, ‘What on earth was he thinking?”

Kevin left to handle the hospital admission procedures, and Madelyn waited at the entrance. The baby needed someone to watch over him, so she could not leave. The child had a fever of 40 degrees; the doctor said whether he could survive tonight depended entirely on fate.

Suddenly, a police officer in a black uniform and a woman approached. Madelyn stood up. The police officer said, “We checked the surveillance footage. She abandoned the child.”

The woman, who appeared to be in her forties or fifties, said anxiously, “Oh my! Sir, Madam, I’m really innocent in this matter. Look. How could I give birth at this age? This child isn’t mine. I found him in the trash today. I had no choice but to leave him at the entrance of the orphanage.”

Madelyn asked, “Can’t you trace where this child came from?”

The police officer said, “We reviewed the surveillance footage along the way, but we couldn’t find the person who abandoned the child. Several cameras on Chapel Street were broken, and the cameras at crucial locations didn’t record anything. It’s going to be very difficult to trace the person. So…”

The implication was clear. Madelyn turned to leave, but Zach firmly grasped her wrist and said, “Thank you. We’ll handle it ourselves.”

The police officer said, “My pleasure, Mr. Jardin.”

After they left, Madelyn could not free herself from his grasp. So, she said to Zach expressionlessly, “You brought this child back. It’s your responsibility, not mine.”

“You want a child. We can adopt him, and he will be our child.”

Madelyn looked at him in disbelief for a few seconds. Then, she raised her hand and struck him across the face in trembling anger, “Do you know what you’re saying? Do you realize that you’re already married?! If you want a child, you can have Yvonne birth one for you. I have no say in your adoption, but I will not accept a child of unknown origin. He’s not my child, and he’s definitely not ours.”

‘Is it because of what I said last night?’

Not far away, Yvonne watched the scene unfold. She wore her backpack and stopped as she entered. She was here to visit Ethan and happened to pass by. However, she did not expect to witness Madelyn physically confront Zach.

Zach’s reaction was unexpected to Yvonne. He did not get angry or upset.’ Is Zach indulging her now?’

Yvonne thought Zach treated everyone the same, regardless of who they were.

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 704

When Yvonne saw that scene, she finally realized that it was easy to know whether or not Zach loved someone; it depended on the extent of tolerance he showed to them.

Even though Yvonne and Zach had already registered their marriage, she always felt anxious about losing him. Growing up, she always got everything… She was unwilling to allow anyone to take what belonged to her.

“Madelyn, what’s wrong? Why are you so angry? What happened? Tell me,” Yvonne said as she walked toward Madelyn. Only then was Madelyn able to break free from Zach’s grip.

When Madelyn left the apartment, she did not have time to change her clothes. She was wearing a nightgown with a scarf wrapped around her. It was past fall, and the weather outside was still a little cold.

Madelyn and Yvonne appeared harmonious. They did not go against each other, nor did they treat each other as enemies. However, Madelyn was well aware that all of this was just superficial.

Zach’s skin was thick, but his face still had faint finger marks. This showed that Madelyn’s slap was not light.

Madelyn kept her head down and said without looking at Yvonne, “This is your family matter. You should deal with it yourselves.”

Zach said, “Stop!”

But Madelyn did not stop walking.

“Hubby!” Yvonne shouted at Zach as she watched him chase after Madelyn. Her jealousy was simmering and could escalate into a much more intense emotion if provoked.

After Yvonne went back to investigate it, she discovered that Zach found an abandoned baby at an orphanage and wanted to adopt the child for Madelyn. Yvonne had long known that Madelyn could not bear children.

Yvonne thought, ‘Indeed, Zach’s current status was very different from last time. He’ll need an heir to inherit Jardin Corporation in the future. And I’m his lawful wife; only our child will have the rightful claim.

‘That child is nothing more than a toy Zach picked up to make Madelyn occupied and happy.’

The entire Young family was busy preparing for the wedding the day after tomorrow. At the Young residence, Yvonne was venting her frustrations in her room. She was throwing around many items, leaving them scattered on the ground.

The servants were afraid and dared not approach her. Frida walked over and said, “You lost your composure that quickly? What’ve I taught you? You still can’t fall out with Madelyn yet. Zach has already completely secured control of Jardin Corporation. He can easily deal with our family if he wants to.”

Yvonne felt wronged as she sat on the bed. She turned to look out the window, “I don’t have the luxury of falling out with her. I’m just frustrated. Zach and I have already registered our marriage, but he’s still living in Floral Loft with Madelyn. What’s he treating me as?

“Today at the hospital, he just ignored me and chased after Madelyn when she left. He even found a child for her.”

Frida’s eyes darkened. She waved her hands to signal the servants, who were cleaning, to leave. She then sat beside Yvonne to comfort her, “Your marriage was arranged as part of a deal. Listen to me; just secure your position as Mrs. Jardin, and don’t put all your attention 11 on a man.”

Yvonne felt more and more aggrieved as she thought about it. She burst into tears, “Mom… you’ve never loved someone. So, you don’t understand!

“I love Zach! I want to love him wholeheartedly, even if it’s just for him to glance at me once. I know he doesn’t like me, but I just can’t stop loving him.

“I can’t control this feeling.”

Frida thought, ‘I’ve never loved someone? How could I not? It’s just that the person I loved back then had never given me anything other than disappointment. Even after Sylvia died, he decided to die with her.’

Frida felt suffocated and experienced pain in her chest. She quietly suppressed this emotion.

She responded, “Madelyn won’t stay in Ventropolis for much longer. No one will compete with you for Zach when she follows your brother overseas for treatment. For now, don’t think about anything else other than going through with the wedding. At your wedding, you must be a beautiful bride.” Frida wiped away the tears on Yvonne’s face.

“Okay. I got it, mom.”

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 705

A servant knocked on the room’s door, “Ma’am, there’s a gentleman downstairs looking for you.” Frida responded, “Okay, ask him to wait for me in the study.”

The servant said, “Okay.”

Frida stood up and said to Yvonne, ” I’ve said everything that needed to be said. Take some time to think it through. I’m going to discuss some other matters now.”

After Frida entered the study, a middle- aged man who looked fierce and menacing placed something wrapped in a black cloth on the table, “This is what you wanted.”

Frida walked over to unwrap it; it was a square-shaped urn. When she opened the lid, there were ashes inside, along with an intact bone. She asked, “Are you sure this is him?”

The man said, “If you don’t believe me, I have a video. We retrieved it not long ago, and I brought him here after the cremation.”

Frida smiled coldly, “What about that bitch?”

The man replied, “After her funeral, Owen scattered her ashes into the sea, and he committed suicide there.”

Frida remained quiet for a while before looking away from the urn. She sat in her seat, “The task is complete. I’ll pay you in full. You may leave.”

After the man left, Frida stared at the black urn for a long time, “You wanted your dead body where you scattered her ashes. I won’t let you have it. The more you care about something, the more I won’t let you have your way. This includes the illegitimate child. I won’t make it easy for him.”

Madelyn was forcibly brought back to Floral Loft by Zach. On the way back, they were arguing because of that child….

Madelyn did not want that child with unknown parentage who was not her own. She refused to keep that child, but Zach used the child to threaten her. He told her he would immediately return the child to the orphanage if she did not want to keep him.

Zach walked in front and then casually entered the password. Madelyn angrily said behind him, “I never said I don’t care about the child’s life; it’s a life, too. You can treat him and take him back to the Young family. If he’s your child, someone will raise him for you. Why do you have to use this type of thing to threaten me?”

“Madelyn, I’ll only acknowledge our child. I don’t see why I should spend money and effort to treat a dying child if he means nothing to me.” Zach suddenly stopped walking and turned around.

Madelyn could not stop walking in time and nearly bumped into him. Her body leaned forward for a moment, causing them to be extremely close to each other. The black pajamas, which he had not changed out of all night, still carried the unpleasant smoke smell from last night. Zach lowered his eyes, “I never do anything that holds no meaning to me.

“I’ll give you one more chance to choose. Will you keep the child or abandon him? I won’t spend my money on him if you don’t want him.” Zach maintained a strong stance. And Madelyn knew he would follow through with what he said.

Zach indeed took advantage of Madelyn’s soft-heartedness. This was her biggest weakness. But in Zach’s eyes, it became the most crucial point in controlling her.

Madelyn said, “Raising a child isn’t simple. He needs a complete family. I can accept the child for now. But I’ll find a good family to adopt him once he recovers. That’s all I can do for now.”

Zach never considered the consequences of his actions. Madelyn thought, ‘Has he thought about how I would explain to this child when he asks about his parents and my relationship with Zach?

‘Moreover, I’ll leave with Ethan on his wedding day with Yvonne. I can’t take this child with me. Why must he bring back a child at such an inopportune time?’

“There’s no third option. Do you want to keep him or not? If you don’t, I’ll have someone take him away right now. “Zach looked at her intensely and continued saying, “Have you made up your mind? I can’t take that slap for nothing.”

When that slap was mentioned, Madelyn’s heart skipped a beat as she wondered how Zach would take his revenge.

Madelyn lowered her eyes and pondered, ‘Should I keep the child? I can use this as an excuse to stay at the hospital.’

Madelyn responded, “Okay.”

“Kevin will take care of the adoption paperwork and bring it over this afternoon.” Madelyn wondered, ‘Why this afternoon?’

While Madelyn wondered about that, Zach bent down and wrapped his arm around her waist. She could then feel her body being lifted. He swiftly carried her and used his foot to close the door. They then headed toward the master bedroom.

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 706

Madelyn said, “What are you doing? Put me down.”

Zach responded, “This is a compensation for the slap.” He then put her on the bed before pressing against and kissing her. Madelyn pushed him away forcefully, Take a shower. You haven’t showered… You smell.”

In less than half a minute, Zach’s breathing became erratic. He panted in her ear as he said in a low, hoarse voice, “We’ll shower after we’re done.”

Madelyn responded, “No!”

Zach kissed her lips and said, “You said no, but your body says otherwise.” He stretched his hand from under her dress and lifted it. He then started the act. Madelyn felt a sense of pleasure and let out a soft moan.

The new bed which was just bought less than a month ago started creaking. It was still early when they returned from the hospital.

Zach quickly washed her body. The shower gel in his hand slipped to her lower abdomen. Zach stared at it for a few seconds. Suddenly, he felt a subtle emotion in his chest…

He carried Madelyn out from the water, dried her off, and then put her back onto the bed. After that, he hugged her as they fell asleep.

Madelyn slept for over two hours and woke up sore. Zach was still sleeping very soundly. He did not sleep at all last night.

She removed his hand from her waist, changed into her clothes, and left the room. She then saw people coming in and out of the living room. Kevin was there, too. The housekeeper came back from her time off and cooked in the kitchen.

A worker carried some items into the room and asked, “Which of you is Ms. Madelyn Jent? All the ordered items have been delivered. Please sign for them.”

Kevin passed the order to Madelyn, Mr. Jardin purchased these baby items in your name. You can check if there’s anything else you need.” Madelyn hesitated before accepting it. She looked at the list and thought, ‘He actually bought so many things.’

She entered the baby room that had been set up in just a few hours. She glanced around and said, “That’s all for now, Thank you.”

The housekeeper said, “Ms. Jent, the meal is ready.”

She then placed a pot of mushroom soup on the table. Madelyn was already seated. She then served herself a bowl of soup. The housekeeper asked, “Should I call Mr. Jardin?”

Madelyn responded, “After I’m finished eating.” She did not want to eat with him. After settling the bill, Kevin put down a card in front of Madelyn, “This is an exclusive membership card for the baby store. You can use it unlimitedly for whatever you want to buy.”

Madelyn did not take it, “Put it down.”

Kevin frowned and suppressed the displeasure in his eyes. He left after putting the card down. His attitude toward Madelyn remained the same as before. Zach woke up and did not see Madelyn beside him. There was only her nightgown that was taken off.

He grabbed it and smelled the alluring scent. The first thought that came to his mind was to keep Madelyn by his side.

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 707

When Zach woke up and did not see Madelyn, he guessed that she had gone to the hospital. And with bodyguards by her side, he was not worried that she would run away. So, he returned to the company because he had work to do.

He entered the company and walked into the CEO’s office. He saw Cecilia, whom he had not seen in a long time, sitting in his chair.

“You don’t hide anything now. In the past, you’d never openly display Madelyn’s photos on your desk.” Cecilia observed. She had recently cut her long, wavy hair, and now it rested just above her shoulders.

There were two tough decisions in a woman’s life. The first was deciding to let go of a man they loved. And the other was cutting off the long hair she had for over ten years.

Zach did not seem surprised by Cecilia’s presence. He raised his hand to check the time, “Three minutes, tell me your decision.”

Cecilia took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer. She then lit one up and leaned back in the chair. The smoke covered her face. She, who had disappeared for many days, looked visibly slimmer. Even with a thick layer of foundation on her face, she could not conceal her haggard look.

She responded, “I helped you get to your current position. Is this how you repay me? “You married Yvonne, and at the same time, you’re maintaining a relationship with Madelyn.” Cecilia laughed, “You really do have deep feelings for her.”

She thought, ‘Zach will do anything for Madelyn, I’d witnessed in my past life how he looked like when he found out Madelyn died. Now, when I think about it, his foolish actions in my past life were extremely ridiculous.” Zach responded, “You have one minute left.”

After she finished smoking the cigarette in her hand, Cecilia stood up and walked over to Zach. She took the initiative to corner him against the table. She toyed with the tie in her hand. The blue shade of this tie was not the color she liked. She said, “I don’t mind that there’s one more person. It’s just Yvonne, anyway. She isn’t worthy enough to bother me.

“I’m just like you; I have enough patience to win someone over. Beside your body, I want to win over your heart, too.

“You’ve stayed with the Jent family for over twenty years. So, why can’t I keep staying by your side? After all, being closer to you means a better chance of winning you over. Who knows, maybe you might change your mind one day.”

Zach did not show much emotion on his face. He watched her hand. misbehave and said, “Have you decided? I’m giving you a chance to be the Deputy CEO of Jardin Corporation. I’ll only offer you once.

“What’s the fun in being a Deputy CEO? “Cecilia looked up and caressed his face, “I have everything now. I don’t lack money. Compared to being a Deputy CEO, I prefer to be your assistant and then… having an affair with you.”

She tiptoed and slowly moved closer to him…

In the hospital, Madelyn thought, ‘ Since I’ve decided to temporarily adopt this child, I can’t just ignore him now. I can’t leave a child under three months old in the hospital without anyone to care for him.

‘Also, I can use him as an excuse to stay in the hospital. It’s better than going back to be with Zach.’

Madelyn took out the baby’s clothes and hung them in the closet. Madelyn was not without any emotion when she looked at the clothes. She was actually extremely hurt. It made her keep thinking about her own child.

She smoothed out the creased clothes, folded them neatly, and put them away. She thought, ‘Someone might need these after I leave.’

This was the ward prepared for the child. And whether he could survive would depend on tonight. Madelyn cleaned the room. Around nine at night, she lay by the hospital bed and dozed off.

Suddenly, a nurse hurriedly walked in. Madelyn woke up in surprise and quickly stood up. A few nurses then pushed a hospital bed with wheels into the ward. One of the nurses said, “Miss, your child’s temperature has dropped. He can now be transferred to the ward. A nurse will be here to specifically monitor the child’s condition shortly. If the temperature remains stable, the child can be discharged in two weeks.”

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 708

Madelyn responded, “Okay, thank you.” Madelyn was a little sad when she looked at the child with tubes inserted into his body. He was all red.

A nurse placed the child on the bed. But after a short while, the baby woke up and cried loudly with his eyes closed.

The nurse panicked for a moment. The child had an IV on his head. But now that he was crying, the blood began to flow backward.

The nurse looked at Madelyn, “Miss, the baby might be hungry. Do you have a breast pump? You can pump some breast milk into a cup and feed the baby. Madelyn was overwhelmed, “I’m sorry, I’m not the baby’s mother. But I do have infant formula.”

The nurse responded, “The baby is very weak. I’d recommend breastfeeding if possible. If not, you can prepare some formula now.” Madelyn replied, “Okay, I’ll go do that now.”

Madelyn hurriedly grabbed some formula and a bottle. A few minutes later, she took the milk bottle and walked over to the nurse, “Is this okay? The nurse checked the milk bottle’s temperature and said, “Yes, it’s just right. You can feed him this.”

Madelyn gently brushed aside a strand of loose hair that had fallen near her ear and held the bottle near the baby’s mouth. He started sucking and, very quickly, stopped crying.

The nurse complimented, “You seem new to this. But you prepared the formula just right, even though I didn’t tell you the measurements. You must’ve done your homework.

“Miss, you’ll surely be a good mother in the future.”

Madelyn’s hand that was holding the bottle stiffened for a moment. She then quickly came back to her senses. She responded with a faint smile, “Thank you…”

The nurse observing the baby left to prepare some medical equipment. Madelyn sat by the bed and stared at the child. She felt as if her entire heart had melted.

When she gently wiped away the tears on the baby’s face, he suddenly opened his big, round eyes. Madelyn panicked for a moment. She noticed the baby was about to start crying again. But when the child saw Madelyn, he suddenly did not want to cry anymore. He stared at her as he sucked on the bottle. He suddenly opened his mouth and smiled joyfully.

All the milk he had in his mouth was

spat out and remained on his body. Madelyn quickly removed the bottle and used a tissue to wipe him clean. Her voice was exceptionally tender as she said, “Baby, you must eat well to grow up, okay?”

“Ah.” The baby seemed to understand what Madelyn said and happily let out a laugh. She glanced at the IV on his head and said, “You mustn’t move around. You might dislodge the IV.”

“Oh,” the baby made a sound.

“Do you still want to drink the milk?” Madelyn placed the bottle near his mouth, and he started drinking it. He was looking sideways at her the whole time.

She thought, ‘This kid looks weak and a little malnourished. It’s such a pity that a child so young has been abandoned by his parents.’

At this moment, Madelyn exuded a strong maternal vibe. She gently said, ” How about I name you ‘Dal,’ short for ‘ Dalton’?”

Madelyn had chosen this name a long time ago.

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 709

Madelyn noticed no matter where she went, the baby would just keep staring at her. And when she did not pay attention to him, he would laugh to get her attention. A nurse came to do a checkup on the baby. His current condition was stable without any problems.

Madelyn hand-washed those newly bought clothes before using a dryer so the child could wear them when he got better.

She then checked the time and realized it was already almost eleven o’clock at night. She dried her hands before walking over to look at the child. He was already asleep.

There was a companion bed in the ward. Madelyn left a lamp switched on before sleeping beside the child.

Past two in the morning, the ward’s door was pushed open. Zach felt for the switch on the wall. But when he saw Madelyn was sleeping, he did not turn on the light. Instead, he walked toward her with the help of the dim light. When he noticed the baby next to her, he merely glanced at him before looking away.

Madelyn was sleeping very soundly. She did not hear his approaching footsteps. When she felt the movements and his hot body pressed against her, accompanied by an unpleasant smell of tobacco and alcohol, Madelyn could not help but open her eyes, “Don’t wake him up.”

Upon seeing her awake, Zach started touching her. He lifted her long dress with his rough, hot palm and touched her fair, long thigh. When she realized what he intended to do, Madelyn used her hand to stop his next move. He said, “You must be tired after caring for him all day.”

Madelyn pushed the drunken Zach away. She sat up, adjusted her dress, and responded, “Get some rest now! I’ll sleep on the sofa outside.”

The VIP ward here was like an ordinary residential property, equipped with everything. Madelyn felt a little thirsty, so she went to the living room to pour a glass of water.

When she raised the glass to take a sip, Zach suddenly walked over and put his arms around her waist to hug her. She almost spilled the water. Zach brushed her long hair to one side and kissed her neck, “You look better with your previous long hair.”

Zach appeared different today. He seemed very happy. Madelyn responded, “Can you let me finish drinking my water?”

Zach stopped his actions as soon as he heard her words. Madelyn was surprised, ‘Why’s he being so nice tonight?’

After Madelyn drank half of it, Zach took the glass away. He then drank from the same spot she drank. She said, “Don’t annoy me as soon as you’re back.”

Madelyn then walked past him. Zach pulled her back, carried her, and walked to the couch. He placed her on his lap and said, ” Have you thought about what name to give the child?”

Madelyn replied, “This is your child. You should make the decision. You don’t need to ask me.” She was unable to get up from his grip, so she decided not to struggle.

Zach’s eyes were very dark. He stared at her intensely and said, “When ‘ll you take my words seriously? Madelyn, you won’t benefit from provoking me.”

Madelyn sneered as she stared at him, You’re talking about this with me in the middle of the night; isn’t it the wrong timing? Can’t we discuss it tomorrow?

“You’ve had too much to drink. You should get some rest now.” Zach did not intend to let her go, “If you don’t want to talk, let’s do something.”

He then removed his tie and blazer. With the collar of his black shirt unbuttoned, he appeared just like a well -dressed scoundrel.

Madelyn tried to stop his actions by hastily saying, “There’s no need to rush to give him a name. You can look for his parents. Who knows, this child might’ve been abducted, and his parents might still be looking for him.

“There are still so many unresolved matters. We can’t just decide on our own.”

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 710

Madelyn was hesitant and indecisive when faced with decisions. She was completely different from Zach. Zach responded, “No one is better suited than us to raise this child. Since we’ve brought him home, he’ll always be our child if you want to.”

Madelyn did not understand why Zach was doing this. She thought, ‘Is it merely because I casually mentioned that I wanted a child?’

However, what she truly desired was a child who truly belonged to her, not just any random abandoned baby.

She did not want to continue arguing with him. So, she said, “Up to you! When he gets better, register him with the relevant authorities and then give him a name.”

Zach nodded, “Okay. I’ll have Kevin prepare the necessary documents next month. “Okay,” Madelyn casually agreed. Soon, they had nothing to talk about and just stopped chatting.

In the late, quiet night, influenced by alcohol and under just the right circumstances, Madelyn noticed Zach’s gaze gradually turning unusual. She got up and wanted to escape. But before she could take her second step, she suddenly felt dizzy. When she regained her senses, she found herself pressed beneath him. Zach held her tightly and said, “Were you trying to run away? Did you think you’d succeed?”

He then started unbuttoning his shirt using his hands with distinct knuckles, revealing his strong chest.

Madelyn said, “You…”

As soon as she said one word, Zach leaned forward, parted her legs, and moved his hand downward…

Zach kissed her on the lips passionately and intensely. Just as the passion gradually intensified, the baby’s crying suddenly echoed in the ward. Madelyn thought it was her hallucination.

After half a minute later, she finally realized it was not a hallucination. She pushed Zach off her. Amid passion, she panted, saying, “I need to check on the baby now…’

The crying sound echoed at an inopportune moment. It made Zach look gloomy, “Go after we’re done.” Madelyn responded, “No, he still has an IV on him. Just give me a short while! I’ll go check on him now.”

Zach stretched his hand to wipe off the saliva on Madelyn’s lips and said, “You have ten minutes.”

Madelyn nodded.

Zach got up from her. After Madelyn zipped up the zipper on her back, she quickly ran into the room.

Madelyn glanced at the IV drip, relieved that it did not backflow. She sat by the bedside and gently stroked the baby’s chest, “There, there. It’s okay. Are you hungry?”

When the child heard Madelyn’s voice, his crying gradually weakened. She continued saying, “Hold on for a moment…”

Zach casually buttoned up his black shirt. He stood at the door with a cigarette in his hand. He was observing Madelyn’s every move. For some reason, a unique emotion overwhelmed his chest when he saw her busy making milk for the baby. It was a feeling that he had never experienced before.

Madelyn placed the milk bottle near the baby’s mouth, and he immediately stopped crying. But she was still heartbroken when she saw tears in the baby’s eyes.

The three of them looked like a harmonious family. After drinking half of the bottle, the baby started spitting the milk.

Madelyn hurriedly removed the bottle and wiped him clean. She told Zach, 11 Tomorrow, you should find a nanny to care for him.”

Zach threw away his cigarette and walked toward her. This was his first time feeling curious about a child. He poked the baby’s cheek and said one word, “Ugly.”
