My Repentant Brothers by Grace Edith

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 stea. 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 beca 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.

Suddenly, as Madeline was eating, she noticed Wesley and couldn't help but smile. "You've been abroad for so long, Wesley. Did you finally make that girl your girlfriendr "Girlfriend?" Wesley tilted his head, his husky voice filled with confusion. "What do you mean!" The others couldn't help but laugh, teasingly looking at Madeline.

Adeline realized that she seemed to have said something wrong. "Weren't you chasing after a woman named Karen abroad?" She bit her fork and said, "Was I wrong?" Wesley had been out of the spotlight for a long time. The last the left. Madeline knew that he was visiting Karen abroad. Later, it was said that Karen had disappeared, and Wesley had been missing for quite a long time. "Do you think she's my girlfriend? Wesley put down his fork and looked at Madeline solemnly. You... He wanted to say something, but remembering that most of Madeline's memories of her tat the orphanage had faded, he didn't say anything. "She's just an old friend. She was admitted to a mental hospital five years ago. When I visited her last year, she used her excellent acting skills to let my guard down and escape. However, she has no connections, no passport, and not even an ID card, so she should not be able to go home. She probably won't be making an appearance again, as she's now seeking freedom.

Madeline nodded. "So, even though you're friends with her, you still want to send her back to a mental hospital?" "You don't understand. She's dangerous," said Wesley.

Madeline got it. A mentally unstable person could be a ticking ing tbomb out there."see" "Karen..." Madeline was mumbling the name. She didn't find it off-putting and had a feeling it was someone interesting It was a happy dinner. The sky outside grew darker. A bowl of oatmeal was put in the kitchen for Madeline to have as a midnight snack.

Having slept too long during the day, Madeline wasn't tired at night and decided to read before going to bed Gavin knocked on the door, inviting her to play games. It's the holidays, Maddie. Stop studying and letteach you to play sgames" Madeline got up from the bed. "What games" Gavin brought over his Laptop and set it down next to Madeline's. "You can play whatever you want, but you don't usually play games, do you! We can Mart with the u simplest" 11:54 AM Chapter 218

Hearing this, Madeline tilted her head, and couldn't help but squeeze her own hands. She was somewhat She ve.

eager to played games in a long time. "Sure. Let's play that popular gyou guys are always playing. Isn't that the one where many people team up with others? With your skills, having a rookie on your team won't slow you down, right?" Gavin was surprised that she would play this kind of game. "Alright then."

When he was in Acocester, he would occasionally play games alone, not wanting to disturb Madeline since she was always busy. Seeing her serious expression at work, he felt sorry for her. This time, surrounded by many rivals, he needed a legitimate reason to stay in Madeline's room to protect her. Gavin hid his schemes, cleared his throat, and said, "Just watchplay. I've ordered milkshakes and late-night snacks. We can play all night. Letdownload it for you first..." Gavin opened Madeline's computer, and the homepage still had her thesis document and the minimized page of Google Scholar, which he saved and closed without hesitation. The download will take a bit." Gavin noticed the gwas already installed. "Wait. Do you play games too?"

"Not really," Madeline said as she sat beside Gavin, resting her elbows on the table. I just downloaded this one casually" She pointed at the icon with a smile. The soft light from the computer reflected in her eyes, her lashes delicately curved. She was incredibly charming. Gavin looked at her profile, not really hearing what she said. A sense of tenderness welled up in his heart. "Just relax. Maybe you're talented, Maddie. You're a fast learer." Madeline blinked and said. Tm going to play the characters that look good." She smiled with her hands clasped in a cute gesture. "You have to leadto victory" X Gavin found himself a bit lost in her charm. He laughed and agreed, logging into Madeline's account. Once online, he said in surprise, "Wow, your account level is quite high." Madeline glanced at it and saw it was her secondary account, a new one, but she invested a lot in it. "Yeah, it's a friend's account. There's a variety show that wantsto play this game, and I'm still considering it Gavin, full of confidence, said, "Withteaching you, you'll nail it."
