The Remorseful Brothers

Chapter 248

Aiden’s eyes were quite beautiful, with a pure and clear gaze. Although he looked noble, there was an air of detachment about him that made him seemi tinapproachable. He used a feather to gently brush Madeline’s nose, which caused her to wake up.

He lowered his head, noticing the flush on her cheeks. “You’re a bit inflamed. I’ve made some tea. It’s a good choice to get refreshed.

There was a tenderness in Aiden’s voice that even he found hard to detect. It was like the tone he used when speaking to the cat that nestled on his cushion, with a hint of indulgence.

Madeline was surprised to see Aiden here. Given his background in the Christian faith, he naturally inspired a sense of reverence in her. “Thank you, Aiden. I’ll get up and go downstairs right away.”

Madeline rubbed her forehead and quickly got up to go to the bathroom, Within three minutes, she followed Aiden downstairs..

Watching his back as they descended, she noticed that although the hair on top of his head was shaved, there were no other marks left. “Don’t you have to wear a hat like the priest on TV, Aiden!”

“No” Aiden replied in a low voice, “Not all priests wear hats. Besides, I haven’t formally converted yet. I still have a worldly connection that hasn’t been sealed. The future remains uncertain. The priest said I should fully resolve my worldly connection before formally converting.”

Madeline nodded thoughtfully, thinking. That makes sense. After all, Aiden also has a prominent status for being the son of the Xuereb family, and his family wouldn’t want him to become a priest. The familial bonds and emotional attachments were hard to let go of completely. Even if he did convert it wouldn’t be a complete severance from his past. Anyway, it takes courage and I admire him very much.”

The dining room was already full of people. Madeline and Aiden took their seats last, sitting together. In front of Aiden were all vegetarian dishes

“Did you sleep until now, Maddie!” Gavin, propping his chim up, looked at her with a smile. “Do you know what animals need to hibernate in winter!”

“No idea,” Madeline snorted.

Among the group, Madeline, Gavin, and Yohannes were the youngest Yohannes was mostly quiet, so it was mainly Gavin and Madeline who were chatting.
