It was almost four o'clock when they finished their meal and returned. Coincidentally, the Arnold family's private vehicle had arrived to fetch her back home. When Madelyn got in the car, her phone vibrated. Ethan had sent her a message.
Ethan wrote: [The weather's been getting cold recently. Remember to layer up. Do you need George to add some blankets for you at night?] Madelyn read the message and replied: [No need, it's not that cold.] After she sent her message, Ethan did not reply. Madelyn sent another message to him: [I've just finished my classes. I'll be going back first.] Ethan replied: [Why so early today? I'll have the chauffeur pick you up.] Madelyn wrote: [Mhm, right after | received my textbooks and finished my entrance exams, school was already over. | also met up with Forrest to have a meal.] Ethan's gaze while staring at the phone deepened. He replied with a single word: [Okay.] He then typed: [I have a meeting. We'll meet later at night.] Madelyn replied: [Alright.] Madelyn then went straight back to the Arnold residence. She had gone over the designated time and finished all the courses for her extracurricular activities. This was done to allow her to focus on studying after that.

As Madelyn got out of the car, the dozens of servants greeted her in unison, "Ms. Jent." Madelyn had never seen such a scene at the Jent residence before. The Jent residence was not massive, so there were only four servants. Naturally, it was incomparable to the Arnold family. Madelyn was nervous and did not know how to react. George noticed Madelyn's discomfort and immediately said, "All of you are dismissed, back to work." "Yes, sir," the servants replied.
After the group of servants left, George walked before Madelyn, "Ms. Jent, you're three hours earlier than your usual return time.
Would you like us to prepare any snacks for you?" Madelyn answered, "No need. I've already eaten. I'll be going back to my room to finish my homework." "Very well," George replied with a standard smile. Before Madelyn could walk any farther, she turned around and asked, "Oh, by the way, is there any trout at home?" "You want to eat trout, Ms. Jent?" George asked.
Madelyn replied, "Let me try cooking some fish tonight! | went to a restaurant today and tried their dishes. They tasted great, so | asked the owner for the recipe. I'll write down the recipe after this. Could you help prepare them for me, please?" George complied, "Mr. Arnold would be ecstatic to know that Ms. Jent is cooking for him." Madelyn nodded. She had intended to cook for Ethan, but aside from that, she just liked to cook. Especially when she encountered delicious food, she just wanted to recreate the same flavor that she had tasted, and the seafood restaurant's dishes had been delicious. Additionally, Ethan's tastebuds were similar to hers, so she assumed he would probably like it.
George knew of this but did not inform Ethan. Instead, he wanted to give Ethan a surprise when he came back. Madelyn wrote down the ingredients, and the servants immediately prepared them as instructed. Ethan would usually get off work on time if there were no matters to handle in the evening and return at around half past six.

‘The more problems | solve, the harder they get. It's just two questions, and yet I've used a whole hour to solve them," Madelyn thought.
At the same time, the aroma of the fish being cooked was starting to smell similar to the dishes from the seafood restaurant.
Madelyn had calculated the time and knew Ethan would be returning soon.
Time flew by fast. Madelyn had called Ethan a few times, but he did not pick up. At close to eight, Madelyn suddenly noticed that George was missing. She had been too focused on homework to notice earlier. When she asked a servant, the servant stuttered nervously in response.
"Did something happen to him? Why's George gone, too?" Madelyn asked.
The servant answered, "Uhm... Mr. Gibbon told me not to tell you.”
