Chapter 407
“Pastina is ready.”
Rosario carried two bowls of pastina out of the kitchen and put them in front of Madelyn, “I know you don’t like to
eat cilantro, so I used chicken as the main ingredient.”
Madelyn looked at the vegetable in the bowl and said, “Rosario, I don’t eat spinach.”
Rosario was stunned for a moment. She smiled as she patted her forehead, “I’m so forgetful. It’s been so long since
you last came back. I forgot about that. I’ll make you another bowl.”
Madelyn was a little disappointed. In the past, Rosario would never forget about Madelyn’s preferences.
“It’s fine, I can just pick them out.” Madelyn spread a tissue on the table before picking out the spinach.
It became quiet suddenly.
Madelyn put away her books. When she turned her head, she saw Zach picking out the spinach for her. He said,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“You’re still so picky.”
Rosario chimed in, “Actually, Madelyn is just like Madam. Madam doesn’t like to eat spinach, too.”
Madelyn did not respond to that. She just lowered her head and quietly ate the pastina. However, for some reason,
it did not taste as good as it used to.
Jadie ate half of the bourbon balls and got tired of it. She then pushed the bowl to Zach, “Zach, it’s too sweet. Can I
try your pastina? You can have mine.
“It’s been so long since the three of us ate together. I miss this so much! In the past, Madelyn and I would always
give you whatever we couldn’t finish. And you’d always tell us not to waste food.”
Rosario went to clean up the kitchen, leaving the three of them in the living room.
Jadie was eating Zach’s pastina. But he did not eat her bourbon balls. He did not really like to eat sweet things,
either.
Madelyn could not finish her pastina. She got up and wanted to walk to the kitchen.
Zach said, “Madelyn, if you can’t finish it, you can give it to me.”
Madelyn tightened her grip on the bowl.
Jadie chimed in, “You can give it to me. I’m not full yet.”
Madelyn lowered her eyes and said, “I have a cold. I don’t want to pass it on to you two.” After she said that, she
went to the kitchen and threw the food away.
She thought, ‘We’re all just pretending to be friendly to each other. They didn’t have to care about me.’
Madelyn put the bowl back in the cupboard after she washed it.
Rosario said, “You could just leave it to me to wash after you finished eating. You shouldn’t be doing house chores.”
Madelyn smiled faintly, “It’s fine.”
“Do you do this at the Arnold residence? To be honest, I’ve watched you grow up. Your own home is always better
than other people’s house. I’m concerned about you staying at someone else’s place. Why don’t you move back in?
I haven’t seen you for quite a few days. And you’ve lost quite a lot of weight. It breaks my heart to see you like

Madelyn gave Rosario a contemplative look. She then turned her head and used a tissue to wipe her hands, “He
treats me very well. Don’t worry.”
Rosario smiled wistfully, “You’ve become much more sensible compared to last time. And you aren’t attached to
me anymore.
Madelyn said, “People grow up. I can’t remain a child forever.” As soon as she finished talking, she saw a beam of
light quickly
flashed across the wall. When she saw the familiar car, she knew it was him.
At that moment, the phone in her pocket rang. Madelyn smiled as she answered the phone call.
“Are you ready? I’ve come to pick you up.”
“Yes. I’ll be right out.”
Madelyn grabbed her backpack from the couch and said, “I’ll leave now.”
Jadie was bending over, wiping the table.
