Chapter 49: Just A Kiss (2)
Her adverse reciprocation towards his request, indubitably forced Cassian to sit up on his seat with a slight painful cough.
Without being told, the young lad wisely shifted to the end of the swing, keeping a good amount of distance from Madeline before she inflicts further damage to his harmless stomach.
Like having a mother who has the ability of attaining a black belt wasn’t already enough for him, he has a wife who won’t grant him access to kiss her.
"Do you still need a kiss, dear husband?" Madeline asked with a cheeky smile incase he didn’t get her message clearly, and he instantly rejected, to her expectations.
"You are too kind Maddie, but I think I’ve had enough kisses for a day." He uttered the last statement under his breath, rubbing his poor stomach that had to suffer the wrath of his own silly request.
Getting off the swing, Madeline adjusted the hem of her dress before looking at the young lad who was still sitting on the swing with a displeased expression. If she had her way she wouldn’t even talk to him right now, she was still very curious about the tattooed scar on his back, but remembering what he said to her always stopped her from asking him based on what he meant.
When she looked into his eyes last night, she sensed a little fear in his eyes, as though he was afraid of saying exactly what happened to him, but then the chaos maker himself can’t actually have a fear for something, or someone, right?
People fear him.
"Cassian..." She waited for the young lad to look at her before speaking. "All this time I’ve been staying with my uncle and living under his roof, I never once encountered the ghosts or spirits of someone." She took a deep breath and continued. "What I’m trying to say is, when did you learn to start seeing ghosts? And how could you tell that I can see ghosts? When I myself was clueless about such things."
Madeline didn’t know why, but she had a feeling that even his ability to see Ghost’s was connected with the tattoo on his back. They looked strange, and just thinking of the pain itself nearly made her cringe.
If he’s able to tell her his reasons for seeing ghosts, then she might be able to guess the answers herself.
