Chương 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.
