The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning By Max Charming chapter 354

“Too bad your boyfriend isn’t the CEO of Arnold Corporation.” As Jadie and her friend walked, they could hear the

girls behind them chatting. ‘So Madelyn stayed late last night because she was in the special class. Is she still

coming back to the Math Olympiad class?’

Madelyn was stapling some papers when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her fingertip. She looked down and saw a

drop of blood on her pale finger. At the same time, her eyelid twitched, and she had a bad feeling. Thankfully, the

staple was not rusty, so she did not need a shot. Classes did not end until 9:30 p.m.

Madelyn went to the restroom, and when she came out, she looked in the mirror at the spot behind her. All she saw

was darkness. ‘Am I too stressed from all the studying? I keep feeling like someone’s watching me,’ she thought.

She shook the water off her hands and headed back to the classroom to grab her backpack.

As she got near the elevator, a hand suddenly grabbed her from behind and pulled her into a stairwell. Before she

could I say anything, she smelled a strong odor of alcohol. The light, activated by motion sensors, suddenly turned

on. Madelyn saw that it was Forrest in front of her, and her panic quickly went away. Forrest, who looked like he had

drunk a lot, held her tightly. He leaned heavily on her shoulder.

Without the wall behind her, she would have fallen down. Madelyn asked. “Forrest, do you even know what you’re

doing?”

“You’ve changed, Madelyn!” he said, his voice a mix of anger and hurt. “Forrest, let go! This isn’t right!” She tried to

push him away, but he held her so tightly she could not move.

“You have a girlfriend, Forrest. Is this fair to her?” Madelyn’s voice was stern. “It’s pretend!”

Madelyn looked surprised. “What?” “I only pretend to have a girlfriend. I did it to make you mad.”

Madelyn slowly pushed his hands away, and they both stopped talking. She heard his heavy breathing and noticed

that he smelled like cologne. She wanted to say something but did not know what. The light in the stairwell turned

off, and they stood in the darkness. What he said stirred up her feelings, like when you toss a stone into a quiet

pond, making ripples.

“You promised to help me with my homework, but you never did. You didn’t even remember my birthday… You owe

me!” he said.

Madelyn looked at the wall without really seeing it. She wanted to say something but found it hard. There was a

question she had always been scared to ask. She worried that asking might only make things more confusing.

“Forrest… do you like me?”

Forrest suddenly looked at her, his eyes looking a little drunk. He gently held her face in his hands, their noses

almost touching, their eyes locked. His eyes were intense and full of emotion as if he was trying to pull her into a

deep sea of feelings.

“Li…” Forrest mumbled but could not finish. His eyes closed, and he fell asleep, leaning on Madelyn. Even though he

only said half a word, Madelyn knew what he meant.

‘He likes me?’ she thought
