Chapter 230

Forrest silently sat beside Madelyn as he puffed away on his cigarettes. It was not long before Madelyn could not stand the smell, so she got up and left.

By the time she reached home, it was almost one in the morning. The living room was dark.

As soon as she walked into their room, Jadie tossed and turned. Madelyn wondered whether she was still awake, or whether she had woken Jadie up.

Madelyn quickly climbed on to her bed and switched off her bedside lamp. She closed her eyes and pondered, ‘Perhaps what Zach said was right…’

Madelyn tossed and turned the entire night, kept awake by her thoughts.

At half past six the next morning, Jadie was already awake. She walked into the living room and stared at the person sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. She stood dumbstruck for a moment before making a beeline to the dining table.

As a habit, Jadie would always greet everyone with a “good morning”. However, today felt a bit different.

At this time, Rosario came out of the kitchen with a pot of carrot ginger soup.
