Chapter 154: Meeting The King (1)
"It must have been too much trouble agreeing to drop me off." Cassian looked to his right, meeting the gaze of Alaric who had ordered his Coachman to stop the carriage in front of Cassian’s home.
"No need for formalities when we’re alone."
He looked out the window, staring at the beautiful medium-sized manor before meeting Cassian’s indifferent gaze.
"A lovely house you’ve got." He commented, and then his gaze instantly shifted to a young woman who had stepped out of the house. From her expression and the sweet smile on her lips, Alaric could guess she had heard the carriage stop and had come to check on who it was.
"Is that your wife?" He asked, leaving Cassian momentarily confused until the young lad also peered out the window to see Madeline standing at the porch, holding a lantern. She looked bright and beautiful, and her midnight black hair was let down, accentuating the youthfulness of her face.
"Yes, that’s my wife."
"Ahhhh..... That reminds me, I still have to punish you for getting married behind my back. Did you really think I’d forget? You backstabber!" Alaric said as if his mind just clicked on the anger he felt when he had to find out in the newspaper that his trusted man got married in the middle of the night, under the rain, without anyone’s consent, not even his.
"What?" Cassian’s eyes widened slightly as if he knew what was coming, and Alaric’s gray- silver eyes conveyed the word ’run’.
Madeline, who had eagerly stepped out to come and see Cassian since she missed him, was left standing like a statue on the porch after blinking at the Royal carriage that was parked right outside her doorstep, glistening against the bright lanterns and under the mystic glow of the night.
