SWNOVELS Chapter 42
Chapter 42
The Jent residence didn't have many rooms. Hayson had always sleeping alone, so the study on the second floor and the master bedroom were off-limits. The third floor had originally been Madelyn and Zach's rooms, while Jadie occupied the fourth floor.
Now, Madelyn had to give up her room on the third floor, and her only option was to move to the fifth floor, the very top of the house. However, the fifth floor was incredibly peaceful. The room boasted a spacious balcony where she could care for her plants, savor a cup of tea while gazing at the nighttime scenery. Even if she had to spend the entire day in her room, she wouldn't feel bored.
Madelyn swallowed a couple of painkillers, took a sip of water, and began tidying up the room.
Just then, Rosario walked in, her expression somewhat sour. "If someone had to give up their room, it shouldn't have been you," she remarked.
Madelyn gently grasped Rosario's hand, her lips curving into a reassuring smile as she tried to console her. "To be honest, it doesn't matter who takes over my room on the third floor. I prefer the room on the fifth floor. I recall there are numerous paintings by Mom there, as well as her photographs. If I live there, maybe Mom will visit me in my dreams at night. It's been such a long time since I dreamt of her." That was also the place where she felt closest to her mother.
Rosario's face brimmed with compassion as she held Madelyn's hand. "Our dear Madelyn, why are you so understanding?"
"Because I've already grown up, Rosario. In truth, I've learned a lot of things," Madelyn thought to herself, addressing Rosario. 'Just give me a little more time, and I'll take you away
from here.'
Madelyn began to pack her clothes and gather the basic items she would need.
Shortly after, the housekeeping personnel arrived. They swiftly replaced the old furniture in her original room and covered the previously pink walls with white wallpaper. In less than two hours, the room, once delicate and brimming with youthful charm, underwent a complete. transformation. Additionally, a personalized clothing company delivered batches of clothes
and dresses to the third floor.
Hayson had always been generous with women. Madelyn was aware of his previous relationship with a sugar baby, a college student, and how he had bought her an apartment as compensation when he decided to end things due to his fading interest.
Madelyn didn't possess many belongings, so organizing the already tidy room was a quick. task. She pushed open the glass door that connected the room to the balcony courtyard and stepped outside. To her delight, she discovered that the flowers her mother had once cared for
were still flourishing. In one corner, an easel stood, indicating that this was where her mother used to paint. She walked over and leaned against the railing, feeling the gentle breeze caressing her face as she absorbed the captivating light and scenery. From this vantage point, she even caught a glimpse of Ethan's room.
Madelyn suddenly felt that this room on the fifth floor was her own private sanctuary compared to her original room. From now on, she could lock herself in here and indulge in whatever activities she desired. The only minor inconvenience was the need to navigate the stairs, but at least Zach would no longer have a reason or excuse to enter her room.
Filled with a sense of elation, Madelyn flopped onto the bed and playfully rolled around.
Rosario entered the room, clutching a framed sunflower painting.
"Madelyn, you just made the bed. Don't mess it up," she said.
"Rosario, you don't have to clean my room anymore, especially since you have trouble with your legs. I'll take care of it myself, and I'll even handle my own laundry," Madelyn replied. Then she added, "Rosario please leave the painting here."
"Okay." Zach's voice unexpectedly interrupted.
Madelyn immediately sat up on her knees, pulling the blanket off her head. She inquired, "Hey, what brings you here? Are you feeling better?"
Zach coughed lightly a few times. "I'm getting there. If you don't like it here, you can move to my room. The higher floor and the hassle of going up and down the stairs might be inconvenient for you."
"It's fine, really. It's a good opportunity to get some exercise. Besides, the view from here is. stunning, and I can sit on the balcony at night to admire the stars. You don't need to worry about me," Madelyn replied.
Suddenly, Zach walked over to the edge of the bed, placing his large and comforting hand on top of her head. "I'm just concerned that you might feel disheartened."
In her mind, Madelyn cursed at him, 'Uncomfortable? How could I even dare to feel disheartened? If you can simply spare my life, I'd be eternally grateful.
