Chapter 212: Familiar Relation (2)
"It’s... you?" The girl at the door uttered breathlessly, stricken by pure surprise, and Madeline’s gaze drifted from the girl’s face to her feet, then to her familiar face again, and that’s when an awed gasp left her lips as her hand flew to her mouth, finding the girl more recognizable despite her polished appearance.
"Monica?"
"You still remember my name?" Monica, who was also taken by surprise, smiled delightedly and offered a hug to Madeline who couldn’t reject it.
"How is this..? You’re from Whitebrige city’s capital?" Madeline asked after they had pulled away from each other’s embrace, and the girl named Monica nodded her head, her face beaming radiantly.
"It’s good to see you again."
The first and last time Madeline saw her, she was in the captivity of a strange man in a carriage. Her once messy brown hair was now elegantly trimmed and pinned to the side with a Jade pin. Her stormy gray eyes gleamed with warmth, and she was beautifully dressed in a purple silk gown, but it stood out a lot more than Madeline’s dress, which could only mean she was someone who came from a family with higher nobility.
"Who’s at the.....door." Cassian’s voice gradually dropped at the sight of a fifteen-year-old girl who stood at the door, holding hands with his wife, and for a few seconds, he stared in bafflement.
"You..know her?" He asked, making it known that the answer to this question wasn’t what he needed alone.
"It’s a long story." Madeline didn’t have the time to start explaining things in detail, and Monica’s gaze shifted to the young man who stood behind his wife, his probing gaze was fixed on her, and she politely bowed her head in greetings with a sweet smile adorning her lips.
