Chapter 219: On The Candlelight Table (1)
Cassian took Madeline’s hand and led her through the dimly-lit hallway without saying anything. She had no idea where he was taking her, but the anticipation of the surprise he wanted to show her only made her heart flutter even more.
And she tried to come up with all sorts of guesses.
Recalling his confession in the living room nearly forced a squeak of excitement out of her, but she reminded herself to stay composed and figure out instead what he wanted to show her. If she knew telling him to leave would force him to confess his feelings, she would have used this method before coming to Whitebrige city’s capital.
On the way, Madeline made several attempts to ask him where he was taking her to, but the young lad remained frustratingly quiet and just kept walking until they made it to the backdoor of the house.
Releasing her hand, Cassian walked towards the double door and opened the backdoor that revealed their backyard, and Madeline involuntarily gasped at the sight.
The view outside was incredibly breathtaking.
The stars were shining brightly in the sky, and the garden was illuminated by dozens of candles that lined the stoned pathway, leading to a table in the center. For a few seconds, Madeline forgot to blink.
"Come." Holding her hand once again, he led the dazed Madeline in.
The table at the center was adorned with a white tablecloth, and a dozen more candles flickered on the surface. Cassian walked Madeline towards the table, pulling out a chair and gesturing from the awed woman to take her sit.
Madeline quietly sat down, her eyes glued to the sight in front of her. Cassian stood opposite her, and with a mischievous grin, he bowed his head slightly. "And what will the love of my life have for dinner?"
He asked, and Madeline’s eyes widened when her eyes shifted to the delicacies on the table.
