FreeNovelMadelyn had a rough night's sleep. She woke up a little after six. Her head throbbed as she went downstairs. ‘Maybe | caught a cold because | left the window open,’ she thought, noticing how chilly the mornings had become compared to the warm days.
When she was in the living room downstairs, she saw a servant cleaning the kitchen. It looked like she had just started cleaning.
There was a mess on the floor with broken plates scattered around.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMadelyn asked, "What happened here?" "Ms. Jent," the servant called her before explaining, "It was probably due to a mouse last night. Mr. Jardin instructed that all the dishes in the kitchen be replaced to avoid contamination.” Madelyn looked around and asked, "Where's Margaret?" The servant responded, "She has been assigned to the backyard. She should be washing vegetables now. Do you need something from her? Should | call her for you?" "It's fine." Madelyn smiled slightly. She then found the medicine box below the cabinet and took two headache pills.
After that, she went to open the refrigerator in the kitchen, she noticed, "What happened to those fruit juices | used to drink?" The servant responded, "Mr. Jardin said those fruit juices contained additives and weren't healthy. So, he replaced them all with milk. What kind of fruit juice do you want to drink? | can make a fresh one for you." Madelyn did not respond. She just poured a glass of warm water. She thought, ‘Now that he's been relieved from his position, he's so free that he takes care of these kinds of things? He sure has a lot of free time." At eight-thirty in the morning, Madelyn went upstairs to change into a new set of clothes. When she was having her breakfast alone, there was a book on color theory open beside her.
Just then, she heard the sound of a car outside the entrance. Madelyn turned her head to glance at it. Not long later, she saw Zach walk into the house. He was followed by Jadie and Rosario, whom she had not seen in a long time.
Madelyn's expression was neither pleasant nor unpleasant. She expressionlessly turned her head back and continued to eat her oatmeal.
Madelyn believed bringing Rosario back to the Jent residence was Zach's decision. She could not think of anyone else. Now that Hayson was ill, Zach controlled everything in the family. Even though Madelyn was the lady of the family, she was merely a figurehead.
She had always wanted to stay out of everything.
Zach pulled a chair and sat down beside her.
Jadie was supporting Rosario as she said, "Be careful.” Madelyn's presence seemed unneeded now that she was considered an outsider. She set her spoon down and closed her book, standing up quietly.

"I don't have any appetite," Madelyn's voice was cold.
Since Rosario came into the house, she couldn't take her eyes off Madelyn. When Madelyn started to leave, Rosario quickly got up, guilt and sadness in her eyes.
Even though Rosario was sick and had spent a long time in the hospital, Madelyn found it hard to feel sorry for her. Although Madelyn would never forgive her, she still wanted to come back to the Jent residence to atone for her actions.
Madelyn remembered the deep hurt of betrayal by someone she had trusted.
The pain was sharp when she thought about how Rosario had poisoned her for years, making it impossible for her to have kids.
"How could | ever forgive that?" she thought.
