Chapter 4

Madelyn paid close attention to Andrew’s wound once they were in the car. She didn’t allow him to move, afraid that he would make things worse. He watched her intently, and she looked up at him. “What are you looking at?”

Her voice was still soft and coquettish. It made Rowan’s bones go weak for a second, and he couldn’t help thinking she was a woman with a purpose. He prayed Andrew could withstand her sorcery.

Andrew frowned. “We’re alone now. You don’t have to keep acting like this.”

Madelyn fell silent. Wasn’t it obvious that she was repenting? Why was he suspecting her instead of being moved?

However, she only faltered for a second. Then, she clung to him and nuzzled him, saying, “Just pretend I’m getting used to being lovey–dovey.”

She remembered that in her past life, Andrew had finally given up and agreed to set her free after she stabbed him. He only requested to wait until after his grandmother, Athena Wood’s, 80th birthday celebration. She had to make one last public. appearance with him before the divorce.

Seeing that he wasn’t saying anything, she added, “Grandma’s 80th birthday is just around the corner.”

This made the atmosphere become tense again. Andrew gripped Madelyn’s jaw and forced her to look at him. She was frightened when she saw the dark look in his eyes. Why was he mad again? Why were men so hard to appease?

“I’ll send the Garcia family to hell with you if you dare cause trouble during Grandma’s birthday celebration, Madelyn.” His ruthless tone made her tremble. How could she have forgotten that he was a monster?

Even in her past life, she had known how much Athena meant to him. That was why she never dared to cross the line, no matter how much trouble she caused. Now that she was on her second life, how could she be dumb enough to do anything like that?

Still, she felt wronged by his ferocity. Holding his wrist, she said, “I won’t cause trouble at all, darling. Please let me go. It hurts!”

The warmth of her palm seemed to burn its way right to his heart. He couldn’t help his anger from subsiding somewhat. Ultimately, he couldn’t bring himself to be harsh to her. He knew she was only acting, but he still let her go when he saw her tears.

They soon arrived at the hospital. Madelyn accompanied Andrew as the doctor tended to his wound. Tears welled up in her eyes again.

“Why are you crying?” Andrew caressed her head. To think she had been so fierce at home earlier. What was she trying to achieve with this act?

She sniffled. “Does it hurt?”

Even the slightest cut was enough to make her hiss and wince from the pain, yet he could fuck her hard enough to make her pass out.

Andrew’s expression darkened. “What, do you think you didn’t stab me hard enough?”

The doctor’s and nurses‘ eyes flew to Madelyn. What was up with this? Did she have some unique preferences in bed?

Madelyn glared at Andrew while enduring the odd looks the medical personnel gave her. Once the doctor was done tending to Andrew’s wound, she listened attentively as he listed the things they needed to pay attention to.

Andrew watched her closely. Then, he said, “Rowan.”

“Sir?”

“Keep a closer watch on her for now.” He wanted to see what Madelyn was up to this time. Still, no matter what she had in mind, she wouldn’t be able to escape him.

Andrew took in Madelyn’s side profile, his gaze softening at his thoughts. His eyes were filled with tenderness, but there was something scary about it. It was almost like he would close his first around her neck if it meant it could prevent her from

leaving.

Madelyn came back after listening to everything the doctor had to say. She linked arms with Andrew and said, “The doctor said you don’t need to be admitted, darling.

We can head home now.”

She had asked to have Andrew hospitalized and observed for a night because she was worried about his wound, but the doctor said it wasn’t too deep. All they needed. to do was keep it from getting infected.

Andrew saw her holding a bag filled with the medication the doctor had prescribed. He took it from her and held her with his other hand. She looked down at their

clasped hands, feeling a sweetness in her heart.

They returned to Serenity Villa, but Andrew showed no sign of getting out of the car. Madelyn held his hand tightly, refusing to let go. He raised an eyebrow. “What’s

wrong?”

“I can turn a blind eye to you not being hospitalized, but there’s no way I’ll let you go. to work. Not like this.” Madelyn’s voice was soft yet firm.

He looked at her silently, his gaze cool. She knew he didn’t like people disturbing him when he worked, but she wouldn’t back down on this. The weather was hot. What would they do if his wound became infected?

Rowan’s breathing hitched when he heard this. Then, he said a little harshly, “Mr. Miller has an important meeting to attend, Mrs. Miller. We have to leave now.”

He said nothing about Madelyn being a witch for trying to take Andrew from his work, but the insinuation was clear. Besides, whose fault was it that Andrew had

ended up in this situation?

Madelyn’s–eyes turned red again. Andrew massaged his throbbing temples and said,” Set up a video conference.

Rowan fell silent, and Madelyn’s anxiety melted away. She looked like a sycophantic bootlicker as she helped Andrew out of the car.

Rowan was efficient. The trip to the hospital hadn’t taken long, but he had already changed all the household staff at Serenity Villa. There wasn’t a familiar face in sight.

Madelyn followed Andrew as he made his way to the study. “What do you want to have for lunch? I can cook it for you.”

Anyone who wasn’t in the know would think she was a caring wife. Andrew

gave he

a meaningful look, and she rubbed her nose awkwardly. At that moment, Rowan came up with Andrew’s documents.

“I’ll leave you to it, then. Seeing that they were busy, she decided to leave them alone.

She headed downstairs and saw the new butler assigning the household staff their tasks. When they saw Madelyn, they all lowered their heads respectfully. “Mrs. Miller.”

She had long since gotten over the tantrum she had thrown that morning, so she nodded and said, “You guys can go ahead and do what you need to.”

“Yes, ma’am.” The maids hurried to attend to their chores.

The butler remained standing by the foot of the staircase. He waited for Madelyn’s instructions.

She thought about it and said, “Mr. Butler.”

“My name is David Johnson, Mrs. Miller.”

“Oh. David, then.

“Yes, ma’am.”

“From now on, I don’t want to see Elena Garcia or any bitches in Serenity Villa. Do you understand me?”

“Yes, ma’am.” David was slightly taken aback by Madelyn’s harsh words but still nodded.

Madelyn was still thinking whether she had anything else to tell David when her phone vibrated. She held it up to glance at it, and her breathing hitched.

She clenched a fist around her phone, her knuckles turning white from the force. She took several deep breaths, but they did nothing to quell her anger and desire to kill.

Ultimately, she answered the phone before the call cut off. “Hello?”

“I’ll arrive at the airport in two and a half hours, Maddie.” The deep voice on the other end of the line was gentle and doting.

It made Madelyn’s hackles rise. The voice belonged to Easton. As she recalled the cruel, ruthless look she had seen on his face in the final moments of her past life, she felt like she couldn’t breathe.

didn’t notice

Easton anything amiss. He asked gently, “Can you come pick me up?”

“Go to hell, you asshole!” Madelyn roared. She hung up right after that.

David and the maids were frightened when they saw this. The rumors were true- Madelyn had a bad temper!
