Zach was contemplating where she might be hiding. However, before long, Jadie's voice broke the silence, directing Zach's attention to a figure standing near a large truck. "Zach, look! It's Madelyn," Jadie exclaimed, her voice tinged with both surprise and concern.Slowing down the vehicle, Zach saw Madelyn getting into the vehicle."Goodness gracious, why is Madelyn leaving with strangers? Has something happened to her? Should we contact the police?" Jadie's words tumbled out in a rush, her concern palpable.Zach averted his eyes, a contemplative silence enveloping him as he focused on the task of driving. "No need," he finally replied, his voice subdued."Are you saying we should we just leave her be like that?"Zach remained silent, his attention steadfastly fixed on the road ahead.As the truck accelerated, its tires kicking up a cloud of dust, the distance between them and Madelyn swiftly expanded. Jadie could sense the car picking up speed, and a part of her longed for Zac
Chapter 82
This was a house that Rosario was renting on her own. It was super cheap, with rent only costing about fifty bucks a month.The location faced south and had good natural lighting. If Rosario had not rented this place, Madelyn would have ended up without a roof above her head.This was the second time Madelyn had come here. The first time was because Zach had bought Jadie a pretty dress in secret, but he had never bought anything for her before. After she had found out and confronted him about it, Zach had simply just hissed at her.There was no way a princess like Madelyn could handle being treated like that. As a result, she had left home angrily.That was the first time she left home, and at the time, Zach had not tried to coax her back, as she had cut Jadie's dress, which made him furious.So, Rosario had brought Madelyn, who had been throwing a temper tantrum, here while on the way back.However, because she could not stand the environment here and thought it too dirty, she h

"I'm glad you understand!" Madelyn happily went up to her and hugged her.She eagerly took the thermos from Rosario and sat down beside a small table."Why'd you come out here all of a sudden? Do you know how worried Mr. Jent and Mr. Jardin are? Go back tomorrow!""There's no need for you to try and persuade me; I won't go back. Besides, it won't make a difference whether I'm there or not. They won't worry about me."Rosario looked at the used pot and Worcestershire sauce on the kitchen counter on the balcony.'This is what she's been eating when I'm not around. How could she go through such a thing? She's Ms. Jent!' she thought.Rosario was a little heartbroken. After all, she had watched Madelyn grow up, so she was like her own child."Madelyn, is this all you're having for lunch?"Madelyn took a big bite of carne frita and nodded, "I don't have ingredients at home, so I just made some noodles. But I think I added too much Worcestershire sauce. It's a little too salty. Also..

Rosario was cooking. Madelyn narrowed her eyes and glanced at the time. It was only six in the morning, and the sun was just starting to rise outside."What are you doing up this early? Go back to sleep for a little longer. The food will be ready in a bit."Madelyn hugged Rosario's waist from behind and placed her chin on Rosario's shoulder. She wore an adorable, sleepy expression, with a strand of hair sticking up on her head."What delicious food are you making?'Rosario said, "It's greasy in here. Quick, go back outside, and don't get yourself dirty. I've already bought you toiletries. My place isn't like your house, so you need to make do and use some generic brands for now. I'll bring you your things tonight.""What's wrong with generic brands? I like anything as long as you're the one buying it.""Stop blabbering and go wash up. After I'm done with this dish, breakfast will be ready.""Alright."The pair of pajamas Madelyn wore used to belong to Rosario. Its design was un

Madelyn had to admit it genuinely was a little disorderly around these parts. Well, not exactly disorderly; it was just the cleanliness here was not as good as in the urban area of Ventropolis.The buildings here seemed run-down. The place was filled with dilapidated residential areas and many street food stalls.Madelyn wandered around and found that the food at these stalls was pretty cheap.After she walked through the alley, there was even a large sea ahead.This was the outskirts of Ventropolis. It was an hour's drive to get to the neighboring city, Marisburg.Madelyn ran to the beach in excitement. She closed her eyes and breathed in the crisp sea air.She took off her flip-flops and stepped onto the sand. The seawater was a little chilly, but the sunlight above her head felt warm and refreshing.Madelyn strolled barefoot along the sandy shoreline, her eyes fixated on the myriad seashells that adorned the beach. Their intricate patterns and vibrant colors enticed her, urgi

"Alex, Ajax, are you lot stirring up trouble again?"Suddenly, a slightly chubby middle-aged man walked over from a distance. He wore flip-flops and had a stick in his hand.He quickly walked to Madelyn's side and gave her a once-over. Then, he asked with concern, "Kid... Did they do anything to you?"Madelyn shook her head, "Nope."Meanwhile, Alex stood at the side with a look of disdain.The man seemed to know Madelyn. He asked again, "Are you the girl Rosario brought back from the city? Mad... Mad something?"Madelyn Jent."The man gasped and said, "Yes, yes, yes, Madelyn. When Rosario left earlier, she told me to look after you, but I was too busy and lost track of time. Don't worry. With me around, these hooligans won't dare to do anything to you."He continued, "I'm telling you, Alex. You're a girl, can you act a bit more reserved? Why are you dressed up like this every day? And you guys! All you guys do is play truant! Hurry up and leave, or I'll whoop your asses."Alex

'But it seems like they're also coming to this restaurant,' Madelyn thought.As expected, the door to her room was opened in less than a minute, and a group of people walked in."Oh?! You're eating good! How come we never get such special treatment? You're so biased, you old fart!""I'm starving. Dustin, get me a set of cutleries and a bowl.""Don't you have hands? Why can't you take them yourself?""Girlie, scooch over, girlie. I can't get inside."Madelyn was speechless. She pulled her chair and made way for him.Alex sat across from her, but her sitting posture was a little unsightly. She propped her foot onto the chair and promptly spun the carne frita on Madelyn's plate toward herself. Then, she started munching on it."The drinks are here," a skinny guy walked in and closed the door with his leg while carrying a carton of beer.The once spacious room had quickly became cramped."That bastard. He never makes this for me when I ask him to, but now he's actually made it fo

"Sorry. Please eat. I still have work to do, so excuse me."Madelyn was used to being alone and did not believe in so-called friends.This time when she left, the group of hooligans did not try to stop her anymore.Madelyn left the room and Mr. Massey walked out wearing an apron as he held a dish in hand. "Lassie, you're done eating already? Did they bully you?"No.""They may act like that, but those kids aren't so bad really. They just want to play with you.""I know, Mr. Massey. I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first.""Okay. Remember to come and eat tomorrow, on the house. Just eat as much as you want."Madelyn smiled and nodded. "Alright."After she left, Madelyn went and bought some personal clothes and a few spare clothes and a few pairs of shoes as well. She got all of those items at cheap prices.She was planning to stay here long-term.In a blink of an eye, Madelyn had already lived here for almost three months. These days, she was working at Mr.
