The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning By Max Charming chapter 493
Ethan had cooked a few dishes, just enough for the two of them. “Have a taste of this,” Ethan said, handing
Madelyn a piece of honey- flavored pork rib. Madelyn took a bite and exclaimed, ‘ Yummy!”
“Yeah, I made all your favorites,” he replied with a smile. In her mind, Madelyn thought, ‘I’ve had his cooking
before, but it’s always delicious.’
After dinner, Madelyn went to Ethan’s study. He was working on important stuff for his company, and she quietly
focused on her practice papers. Even though she wasn’t going to regular classes, she had her own study plan. The
current class progress didn’t matter much to Madelyn. She had a goal to boost her grades in just two months, and it
was proving to be a bit tough.
But because she already had a good foundation in her subjects, it wouldn’t be too hard, just a little challenging.
Ethan had his headphones on, listening to Leyton’s report. “Mr. Arnold, about the dress for the engagement, should
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwe arrange for the designer to meet with Miss Jent this weekend for her to choose? We also need to plan the
makeup photoshoot. I’ve organized your weekend schedule around your recent work to make sure it doesn’t disrupt
progress.”
“Okay, got it,” Ethan replied. Madelyn sat on a comfy blanket, finishing up some practice papers and grading them
herself. When she checked the time, it was already half- past ten. She stood up, neatly putting her books on the
table.
“Done with your practice papers?” Ethan asked, taking off his headphones and coming over to her. “Um, it’s really
late now. Let’s finish this tomorrow. I’m going back to my room to get some sleep,” Madelyn suggested.
“No hurry,” Ethan, in his dark shirt with a couple of buttons undone, guided her to the couch. The bright light from
the study made the room feel a bit mysterious. Madelyn felt his warm breath on her neck, and it tickled a little.
His Adam’s apple moved sensually as he leaned in closer, making her heart race a bit.
The light made his features stand out, making him look even more handsome and captivating. It seemed like there
was a fire burning in his eyes, a warm and inviting heat trying to wrap around her, to melt her heart.
Madelyn’s palms got sweaty, and she tightly held onto her skirt. Being this close, she could see the pores on his
face. Her heart felt like it might jump out of her chest, so she squeezed her eyes shut. In that moment, Madelyn’s
mind went completely blank. There wasn’t a single thought in her head.
Even though they had been together for a long time, their physical closeness had been limited to holding hands and
hugging. Their kisses had always been quick and cautious.
For some reason, Madelyn’s instincts told her to push him away. But she fought that urge. Even if she resisted
tonight, she knew she couldn’t avoid it forever. Half a minute passed, and it felt like an eternity to Madelyn.
Ethan’s lips brushed gently against her neck as his deep voice whispered, “Can we…?”
Madelyn’s eyes instantly widened as she understood what Ethan was asking. “W-Wait a moment,” Madelyn
stammered, feeling flustered. Ethan’s movements also halted. “Why? ” he asked.
Madelyn gathered her courage, trying to stay composed. “We’re just dating, and my father… he wouldn’t approve
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmof this. Can we wait a little longer?”
Ethan’s breathing became uneven, and he held back his impatience, gently resting his forehead against hers.
Alright. We’ve waited this long. Just a little more… for the last sixty- something days. I’ll go to my room tonight.”
Madelyn swallowed hard. “Okay, get some rest. I need to sleep too; I have classes tomorrow.”
“Give me a kiss before you go.”
Madelyn quickly planted a kiss on his cheek. “Goodnight.” She grabbed her backpack and hurried out of the study
without looking back.
Madelyn rushed to her room, closed the door tightly, leaned against it, and breathed heavily. She wiped her neck,
recalling the intense moment just minutes ago. ‘Why did I resist Ethan’s touch? Maybe I still can’t get past what’s in
my heart…
Madelyn placed her backpack down, took a quick shower, lay in bed, turned off the light, and stared at the ceiling.
Her thoughts were all jumbled up.
“Do you not like him?” Madelyn looked toward the figure sitting on her bed. “Mom, you’re here again.”
