Chapter 1074
Madelyn did not like to eat spinach, garlic, vinegar, and spicy food. Zach remembered all of this.
However, the maid accidentally put some spinach on the pastina, “I’m really sorry, Mrs. Jardin. I was so absent-
minded. I forgot you don’t eat spinach. I’ll serve you a new bowl.”
Madelyn looked at the green spinach on the pastina as she responded, “It’s fine. I’ll just pick them out.”
Zach said, “Be careful next time.”
The maid replied, “Yes, Mr. Jardin.”
The maid then left the living room to leave Zach and Madelyn alone. Zach picked out the spinach from Madelyn’s
bowl and put them into his bowl.
Madelyn asked, “Did you make the pastina alone?”
Zach responded, “Yes.”

learned to do laundry, cook, and take care of their house for him. She took care of him very well. Now, Zach
actually learned to make pastina for her.
Madelyn asked, “When did you learn how to make it?”
Zach replied, “With dedication, it’s not difficult to learn something.”
Madelyn took a bite and immediately tasted the flavor of Rosario’s cooking. It also suddenly reminded her of some
things. She suppressed her emotions and tried not to cry.
She said, “The taste is not bad. You don’t need to do all these things for me in the future. I won’t feel grateful to
you.”
Zach did not eat his bowl of pastina. He stared at her and said, “You’re the first person. Jadie and I grew up
together in the orphanage when we were kids. I’d always taken care of her. I’d never cooked a meal again since
Father adopted me. After so much time has passed, I’ve forgotten many things. Madelyn, do you understand what I
mean?”
Madelyn was lost in her thoughts, ‘What is he trying to say? Is he trying to tell me I’m special? So many women fell
for him, yet he chose the daughter of his enemy. Should I be happy? Should I be thankful that he showed mercy,
didn’t kill me, but instead fell in love with me? Should I be grateful
that he let me live the best life?
‘Hayson and Zach have some similarities. They’re selfish and like to force things onto other people. Zach learned all
the methods that Hayson used to force my mother to give in and used them on me!
‘But I was far less fortunate than my mother. At least she had someone she loved deeply. I have no one who loves
me. Even the person who accompanied me and treated me like family ultimately
became the one who made me unable to give birth.’
Madelyn suddenly lost her appetite, “I’m full. You take your time to eat.”
Zach held her wrist, “Don’t waste the food. Finish it.

Madelyn calmly looked at him, “Zach Jardin… Keeping up an act for such a long time can be tiring.”
She thought, ‘I can’t just move on from some things just because he treats me well and special. Just like Dal, even
though he calls me his mother, it can’t hide the fact that he’s adopted.
‘I have no blood relation with Dal, and even less with Zach… Zach has been fooling himself all this time.’
While the atmosphere between them became tense, the bodyguard outside the door brought in an invitation card.
The bodyguard said, “This is from Ms. Young. She had it sent by someone. It was mentioned that there’ll be a huge
auction a week from now and that there’s a batch of very old antiques. She believes you’ll like it if you attend.”
This was the first time Zach received this kind of special invitation. He believed it was just another boring charity
auction that used to cover corruption for some people.
The bodyguard added, “Ms. Young hopes you will go alone. The person she sent didn’t say why.”
Zach responded, “Okay.”
After the bodyguard left, Zach opened the invitation and was surprised to find there was no signature from the
organizer.
He casually threw the invitation on the table, “How cunning.”
