Chapter 284 ‘But it doesn’t matter now,” Madelyn felt that Zach's so-called “feelings” for her were just something temporary. He seemed upset that she didn’t like him anymore, so he did those things to her.
Those feelings weren't really love; they were more like being controlling. She thought, ‘Maybe... in this new life, he could fall for Cecilia again. So, even if we end up together as a couple again, he'll just leave me behind once he loses interest in me.” That was why, this time around, no matter how many girls Zach liked, Madelyn had already decided not to fall for him again. Even if she ended up feeling lonely for the rest of her life, she wouldn't repeat the same mistakes she made before.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt The Deli, Zach had requested a private room, but Madelyn was worried he might try something in a secluded place, so she quickly told the waiter, “We don’t need a room, the main hall is just fine.
Zach smiled and told the waiter, “Main hall it is, as she wants.” “Right this way, please,” the waiter said.
Finally, they both sat at a table by the window in the main hall, with Madelyn sitting across from Zach.
The waiter brought over some sparkling water.
“Thank you,” Madelyn said.
Zach looked at the menu, thinking the food didn’t seem too special. He remarked, “Since you're the one who suggested this place, go ahead and order whatever you like.” Ignoring him, Madelyn picked up the menu and ose a few dishes she wanted.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe waiter jotted it down, “Miss, you've ordered only three dishes. Is that going to be enough for both of you?” Madelyn answered calmly, “I'm not sure what he wants, so he can order what he likes for himself.” “Sure,” the waiter nodded.
Zach's taste in food was different from Madelyn’s — he ordered a few spicy dishes.
12 Once the waiter had left, Zach asked, “Still upset about it?” Madelyn didn’t even look at him. “I went to the mall with you, and now I'm here having dinner.
What do you really want? | told you from the start that I'm not a threat to you. If you want the Jent family’s assets, take them, | don’t care.” She added, “Once | finish college, I'm planning to study art in France. | might not come back to Venturia. Do a kind thing and let me go, please?” Zach held her hand, softly stroking the back of her hand. Her skin was smooth and delicate. He hadn't experienced enough pleasure with her yet, so how could he just let her go easily? “You were the one who started this. You used to say you loved me, and now | have feelings for you too. Shouldn't that make you happy?” “Didn't | already tell you | don’t want your love now!” Madelyn thought, ‘If this is what you call love, it makes me feel like I'm cheap! It's really heartbreaking!” She remembered how she had desperately wanted this kind of affection from him in her past life.
Love had blinded her until just before her passing. ‘He doesn't love me! He desires power and status! His true feelings are always for Jadie, never for me! Even the smallest kindness he shows me is all fake.”
