Jadie thought, 'If it wasn't for me suddenly having my period that night and stained my skirt, I wouldn't have had the chance to call him and ask him to come over. And after that, he even carried me out of my classroom.'She asked, "Zach, are you free this weekend? How about we go on a date? You didn't spend time with me during Valentine's Day."Zach answered, "Got it. I'll check my schedule when the time comes and arrange it."Jadie thought, 'He always says this.'Jadie planned to watch a movie for Valentine's Day before shopping for clothes with him. He said the same thing to her. But in the end, he did not go. He ended up working overtime at the company.Jadie said further, "How about we go to the amusement park?

Madelyn thought, 'If this goes on, not only will Forrest not have the mood to listen to me, but I'll also be affected.'After she left the library, she pondered again, 'Would he bring his girlfriend everywhere from now on? I really don't know what he's thinking. I can't understand how men think.'Without Ethan around, Madelyn's day was monotonous. Time passed very quickly. Madelyn packed her backpack after the last class ended. As she was about to leave, Jadie suddenly walked to her, "Madelyn, are you free? Zach and I haven't had a meal with you in a long time. Let's go back and eat together tonight."I'll cook. I promise you'll love it. Rosario had taught me a lot about cooking."Madelyn rejected, "I have class later. So, I can't come with you."Jadie asked, "Class? Special math class?"Madelyn answered, "Yes."Jadie probed, "Why don't you just join the Math Olympiad training class like back then?"Madelyn pursed her lips. As soon as she was about to respond, Yvonne came over

The music she played silenced the clamor.Everyone quietly looked at her. Her hair was long and beautiful. With the ethereal music, she looked like a mermaid.Someone

It was eight thirty at night. Madelyn was sitting in the back passenger seat, looking out the window frustratedly. She thought, 'I shouldn't have left so early. Or else, I wouldn't have met them.'Madelyn left early today because she wanted to go back early and rest.Unexpectedly, she bumped into Zach and Jadie as soon as she left the school. They were going for a late-night snack.Zach did not allow her a chance to reject them. He just brought her into his car.Zach and Jadie happily discussed what to eat and their plans for the weekend. Now that they were together, Madelyn felt like a third wheel. She felt very uncomfortable. She thought, 'I'm like an outsider being forced to be in their lives.'Jadie turned her head and asked Madelyn, "What'd you like to eat? Grilled food, or do you want to eat fish?"Madelyn, who was lost in her thoughts, quickly snapped back. She gently said, "Ah," before saying with a faint smile, "I'm fine with anything. Actually, I'm not that hungry."Ja

As soon as Zach loosened his grip slightly, Madelyn pushed him away and wanted to escape. Zach watched her desperately try to run away before grabbing her.Madelyn felt she was choking on her own collar; she was pulled back to him. He held her body firmly, saying, "It's been a while since I saw you. You've gotten fatter."Madelyn could not see his face clearly in this dark alley. But she could imagine his teasing expression.She said, "It's none of your business. You weren't the person who paid for my food."Zach pinched the flesh at her waist before kissing her neck. Madelyn was overwhelmed.Zach thought, 'Actually, Madelyn isn't fat. She merely gained some weight. In the past, Madelyn was so thin that she gave the impression that her waist could easily snap on the bed. Her techniques improve quite a bit too.'He said, "You're a smart mouth as always. Did you think I wouldn't touch you anymore just because you went to the Arnold residence? Huh?"Madelyn could feel Zach's hand o

Zach looked deeply into her eyes. His thoughts were difficult to discern. Even after spending so much time with him, Jadie still felt insecure about him.Although they were in a relationship now, Jadie felt she never truly understood him. Other than holding hands, they had never even kissed before.Jadie always wondered if she was too desperate. She thought, 'Zach always treats me as his sister. Seems like he still hasn't moved beyond our previous relationship.'Zach went to settle the bill at the front desk before they left the restaurant.They went to the Jent residence instead of going back to the Grand Court. Jadie sat in the car as she looked at the huge villa. She asked, "Zach, are we not going home?"Ever since Jadie returned from overseas, she had never liked the Jent residence in the Southern Haven Villas. She particularly disliked the way Hayson looked at her.Zach asked, "You don't like it here?""It's not that." Jadie shook her head.But Zach could tell from her exp
