Love's Rebirth Another Chance at Forever (Madeline and Andrew)

Elena sniffled and held back her

ars. Even a woman would feel sorry at the sight.

Andrew, however, was pissed. He growled, "Rowan-"

"Darling, head in first. I'll take care of the situation," Madelyn cut him off, nodding at him and signaling that she wanted to handle Elena by herself.

His reply was rather suggestive, "Fine, then. But make it quick. I'm starving."

Madelyn noticed Elena's pale face from the corner of her eye. She then glared at Andrew. "Go, now."

Since when had Andrew become so sweet and clingy? He was no longer the venerable and heartless leader of Miller Group.

Andrew shot a warning look at Elena, who was slumped to the floor. The difference in his attitude sent a shiver down her spine. Refusing to believe he was ignoring her, she attempted to latch to his leg.

What followed

was a horrifying scream that reverberated through Serenity Villa. Madelyn had brutally stepped on Elena's wrist. Elena's face turned white from the pain when Madelyn stopped her attempt at reaching out to Ar Rowan and Jason snapped around when they heard the scream, and they tensed up at the sight. They thought Madelyn

would only show her cruelty toward Andrew. When did she start treating her family in the same manner?

Still, they admitted the sight was cathartic.

"Let go!" When Andrew left, Elena spitefully attempted to shake off Madelyn's hand.

Madelyn released her. Their eyes met-Elena's filled with resentment while Madelyn's with mockery.

Madelyn taunted her, "Have you given up on your act?"

It appeared that Elena had finally revealed her true colors.

Scrambling up from the ground, Elena hissed out the words, "Madelyn, what do you gain from Garcia Group's downfall? Do you think the Millers will show you respect without the backing of our family?" Madelyn sneered, "Thanks to your manipulation over the years, the Millers hate me even though I'm from the Garcia family."

The color drained from Elena's face. She suspected that Madelyn had uncovered the

truth, but how was that possible? After all, Madelyn was a dimwit. Did Andrew lend her a hand in the investigation?

Elena's face paled at the thought of Andrew's hostile attitude and his merciless way of dealing with Garcia Group.

"Send Caleb Garcia a message for me. If he wants to protect Garcia Group..." Madelyn deliberately paused as she flashed a malicious grin at Elena.

Elena had a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach.

Chuckling, Madelyn continued, "To protect Garcia Group, he'll have to kick his favorite daughter out of the family."

"W-What are you talking about?" Elena gasped when she learned that Madelyn wanted her out of the Garcia family.

Madelyn marched into the villa while replying in an unusually adamant tone, "He has to pick between you and Garcia Group."

Elena curled her fist and trembled in fury. She bellowed at Madelyn's figure, "Don't you ever dream about that! Garcia Group is mine. Dad will hand it to me!"

At last, Elena exposed her true and evil intentions. The smile faded from Madelyn's face. She said to Elena, "If so, I shall grant your wish. Garcia Group will be a hollow shell!"

"You-" Elena wondered if Madelyn was dead set on ruining Garcia Group from within. She doubted Madelyn's ability to do so. Since Madelyn had a fraught relationship with Andrew for years, he was unlikely to

She fumed silently, "Does she really believe that she has secured her position as Mrs. Miller just because I gave her a taste of it?"

Andrew was waiting for Madelyn at the dining hall when she entered the villa. After washing her hands, she took her seat beside him. "Wow, these are all my favorite dishes."

I

Andrew grinned, thinking, "Oh, you little devil. I totally saw everything you did to Elena outside the villa."Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Darling, I want shrimp. Can you deshell them for me?" Madelyn loved shrimp, but she hated deshelling them as it was a tedious task. Rowan, who was coming down the stairs with some documents, turned green when

he witnessed the exchange. Madelyn was no longer her former self. No man could resist her charm when she spoke in that coy voice. Rowan and Jason had obviously been closely observing Madelyn since yesterday, but they had yet to find anything amiss. Meanwhile, Andrew dotingly deshelled the shrimp for her. She grabbed his hand when he was about to place the shrimp on her plate. "Here, this is how you eat it." Then, she ate the shrimp off his hand.

David and the other household staff gushed at the close relationship between the couple. Rowan stormed away after watching the lovey- dovey couple. Before he left, he vowed that he and Jason would never go easy on Madelyn if this was a trap for Andrew.

*This is so yummy. Darling, have some steak." She picked up a slice of steak with her fork and offered it to Andrew.

His face scrunched up as he disliked beef, When she realized that she had offered him beef, she hurriedly shoved the food into her mouth and offered him something else. Andrew's smile deepened at her keen understanding of his preferences. His smile was warm and enchanting. She silently chided herself for nearly missing out on such a perfect man. Losing herself in his tender gaze, she asked, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

"Yes." Nodding, he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer.

She fell onto his lap and nearly pressed against his injury. She gently shoved him away. "Stop fooling around. People are watching."

Then, she instinctively looked in the direction of the butler and maids, only to belatedly realize that she and Andrew were left alone in the dining hall.

He pressed his forehead against hers. She felt his cool, fresh breath wash over her.

She pushed him away. "Let me go and eat your meal."

She wanted a swift recovery for him, but he refused to budge. They wrapped up lunch in their sweet and chaotic exchange.

Andrew did not return to the office in the afternoon. After lunch, they strolled around the villa. Before his lunch break ended, she changed his wound dressing for him.

As they lay on the bed, she stayed stiff and tried to regulate her breathing when she sensed his warm body pressing against her back. She finally wiggled when his Chopji 13

breathing grew even.

"Why? Don't you want to nap?" Following her movement, he gave her an intense. stare, like a predator eyeing its prey.

She hurriedly shut her eyes. "I'm going to nap!" She did not want to fool around with him. He might be reckless, but she wasn't.

Andrew gazed at Madelyn, who cuddled up to him like a bunny. He teased, "Little devil." His breathing quickening, he swiftly kissed her on the top of her head. He then drifted to sleep while holding her. They enjoyed a peaceful nap. To Madelyn, this was the best sleep she enjoyed with Andrew since her past life..

They finally stirred awake when night fell.

Madelyn's phone buzzed on the

bedside table, its screen flashing. Madelyn could immediately tell that it was a call from Easton, and she quietly scolded herself for being careless in her past life. How could she leave traces of Easton around? When Andrew got up from bed, she quickly grabbed her phone and rejected the call.. She met his piercing gaze and immediately grappled with guilt. "Darling, it's my fault."

She dared not hide the truth from him as he was an observant man. A timely apology was the only wise solution to redeem herself
