Chapter 305
The location was Murglor in Roshya.Other than pictures of the northern lights, there was also a selfie of Forrest with an elk. He was wearing a black jacket and a hoodie, his hair wet with snow.Madelyn smiled slightly as she replied: [Beautiful pictures. Thank you.]She thought, 'Thank you for looking at these beautiful sceneries on my behalf.'Forrest had gone to Murglor alone. Smoke rose from the tent behind him.The time difference between here and back home was fifteen hours. Forrest had made friends with a group of other tourists during this solo trip.A voice in Roshyian could be heard from behind, "Forrest, it's time to eat."After seeing Madelyn's text, Forrest did not reply. He put his phone away and walked out of the tent.The next day, Zach took a day off from work and went to buy groceries with Jadie.Although Rosario had injured her waist, she returned to the Jent residence from the hospital. She did not know how long she would be staying there, however.It was

Madelyn smiled. She was touched and her heart felt a warmth that she had never experienced.In the video, Forrest's berth on the train was by the window. There was the most beautiful scenery along the way. The fleeting scenes that the train passed by had been edited by Forrest into slow-motion frames for her to see...After watching Forrest's video, Madelyn wished she could video call him right now so that she could see the scene live.By the time she finished watching, it was already around three in the afternoon.After she walked out of the library, she called Forrest's phone number.He accepted the call after just a few seconds, "What's up, Ms. Jent? Do you need something?"Madelyn, "Forrest, I've received them. Thank you! I've seen all the photos and the video. They're very beautiful."Forrest lazily took a deep breath. His voice sounded like he had just woken up as he coldly replied, "Okay. Got it. Anything else? I want to sleep."Madelyn, "Can I see the original video? Th

Madelyn was in high spirits. She went to the kitchen and put on an apron before taking out the ingredients from the fridge to personally make the cake.Rosario walked to her, "Do you need my help?"Madelyn refused, "No. I've done it several times, so I've got the hang of it. You can go and do something else, Rosario.""Alright, then. If you need anything, just ask for me.""Sure." Madelyn replied.A walnut cake was not difficult to make. Jadie walked into the kitchen and looked at Madelyn, who was busy, and curiously asked, "Madelyn, since when did you know how to make walnut cake? Can you teach me?"Madelyn, "I learned from Rosario. If you want to learn how, I can send you a tutorial video and the recipe! It's not that difficult."Jadie replied, "Sure! I'll watch you make it now. Zach is talking with the others and I have no idea what they're talking about, so I came to see what you're doing. Do you need my help?"Madelyn, "You can help me wash these dishes. I'm halfway throug

Ethan took a bite and said, "Not bad."Most of the time at the Arnold residence, Ethan usually went along with Madelyn's wishes. This was all just to impress Hayson.Ethan spoke up, "Back at home, I never saw you treat me this well. Why are you being so kind today?" His gaze was fixed on her, intense and unwavering, making it hard to look away. To others, his look seemed far from innocent.By 'home,' Ethan was clearly referring to the Arnold residence. Madelyn found herself in an unfamiliar situation, unsure of how to respond. Gathering her courage, she replied, "Here, you're a guest, so naturally, we treat you well. Come on, eat before it cools down and loses its flavor."This meal turned out to be the longest one Madelyn had ever experienced, stretching on for a full two hours. People got pretty drunk; Hayson brought out his prized red wine, worth tens of thousands of dollars, as well as white wine. Three of them managed to empty the bottles.Hayson was helped back to his room t

"But you didn't really need to do all this... Even if you didn't give us anything, you'd still be my best..." She couldn't finish the last word, "friend", because a big firework popped in the night sky, making it all golden and bright. Right when it started, one after another, families everywhere started lighting up fireworks. The fireworks were so colorful and pretty, and they lit up Ethan's face. He looked out the window at the fireworks, like he was lost in thinking.Madelyn turned around, holding the hangover soup in her hands. She remembered what George had said and decided to wait until he felt better before talking about it."Finish the hangover soup first, then we can go see the fireworks?"Ethan smiled. "Sure."At the Jent residence, they sat on a swing under a tree in the backyard, watching the fireworks light up the sky at night."During special times like this, my favorite thing is sitting here, swinging on this swing, and watching the fireworks. I used to wish I cou

Ethan chuckled. "Yep, awesome." In Ventropolis, the Arnold family was in charge, and he did not want to mess up again. "Will you stay with me, Madelyn?" He looked at Madelyn with his deep amber eyes, making her feel like she was being pulled in.Madelyn felt a little panic. "Haven't I always been around?""You know what I'm asking."Madelyn pretended not to understand. "What do you mean?"Ethan touched Madelyn's curly hair, looking into her eyes with care. His fingers moved down her face and gently lifted her chin. As he leaned closer, he suddenly covered her eyes with his hand. Everything turned black for her, but then she felt a soft touch on her lips.Madelyn was startled, her eyes wide open. She felt a gentle kiss on her lips. They were close, both of their hearts beating fast. On the ground, their shadows looked like they were dancing together.That night, the moon seemed extra bright and kind.Leyton drove Ethan home. Ethan had sobered up, but it was not safe for him to

"What are you talking about?" Madelyn asked.Zach picked her up and tossed her onto the bed. Madelyn's head hit the pillow, and in the dim light of the moon, she looked up at the tall figure of Zach looming over her. He removed his jacket and leaned down toward her."Did you like the fireworks? Need a reminder of what went on?"As she tried to sit up, he pulled her legs, making her lie back down. He leaned in, planting strong, wild kisses on her neck."Are you jealous, Zach? Why should you be? Remember what Hayson told you today. At dinner, you could tell Father wanted me to impress Ethan. If Ethan finds out, the Arnold family and Father will both be after you! Be careful, Zach. You might mess up all your plans with what you're doing now."He stopped and propped himself up. His eyes were dark, and he looked at her with a mean smile. "So what? The thing I want to do doesn't stop me from doing what I need to do now." For a moment, he thought of overpowering her and forcing himself o

"Zach Jardin! How can you say that without feeling ashamed?""Be good."After spending more than an hour in the bathroom, Madelyn's pent-up tension finally went away. She felt completely tired. Zach helped her out of the bathtub, wrapped her in a towel, and dried her hair. She fell onto the pillow, snuggling naturally into the center of the bed.In the middle of the night, a wave of heat washed over her. She wanted to kick off the covers, but it felt like she was next to a blazing furnace. Too drained to do anything, she thought, 'Whatever.'As morning light peeked through the curtains, Madelyn was stirred by a rustling noise. She pulled her blanket tighter around her and drifted back to sleep.After getting dressed, Zach glanced back at the bundled-up Madelyn under the covers and smiled.Forrest's flight from Roshya to Ventropolis touched down at eight o'clock in the morning. An hour later, he was at the hospital's main entrance, buying a bouquet of lilies. Making his way to the
