Chapter 405: 405
Inside the library, Nicholas sat on the couch Ken emptied . He had light talks with Quinn while they were waiting for Madison .
Butler Leroy placed the tray with four teacups and a tea pitcher in front of his masters . He bowed and left them alone but behind him to guard the door .
When Madison and Levi were approaching, he bowed and opened the door .
"Papa? You want to talk with me?"
"Madison, come here . " He gestured to space next to him .
Later Madison sits next to Quinn, Levi takes the single couch next to Quinn .
"Um…" her gaze was at Nicholas . She knows already that Nicholas is her older brother . She has now realized why she always has this feeling around him .
"Madison, your brother has something to give you," he began .
"Hm? What is it?" Still, she is shy to call Nicholas a brother . Who would have thought the Mafia King is her older brother? Someone from the past reborn in the present life . She glances at him, and Nicholas smiled . Butler Ivan then placed a wooden box on the table which made her curious about it .
"This belongs to you," said Nicholas . "After I was reborn in this life, I waited to gain the power to gather all the information about the past I left . "
Confused, Madison pulls the box closer to her . She opened the cover with throbbing fingers . Instantly, tears flooded her eyes .
She picks up the cloth and draws it close to her heart . "Mama…" she continued crying for a few minutes .
Quinn reaches her back; he's giving her a warm hug . Finally, she had it again . The face veil Marivella made for her . She has it back after 240 years .
She can't stop her tears . Abruptly, she stood on her feet and ran toward Nicholas . She put her arms around him .
"Brother Adam!"
Nicholas cannot hold his tears . She now remembered his actual name, Adam Williams . He died with a heavy heart, and full of anticipation; might something happened to her when they got separated . And when he was reborn, all he thinks every day is his sister he left in the past . After long years: watching her from a distance, watched her growing until today, and finally has an end to this secret .
Madison let him wiped her tears .
"No wonder, Lady Isabella always reminded me ever since I was a kid, that I should never touch or hold you . "
Nicholas brushes off Madison's tears and then says . "Yes . You will find out who I am . "
"I'm sorry if I didn't recognize you . "
"It is not the right time, back then," Nicholas softly gazes at her . He misses her and even after her reincarnation, he can't just come close to her .
"Now I understand why we keep coming back to that year . So we know that Carlisle and Marivella have a firstborn . " Levi commented .
"It seems, yes," Quinn agreed .
"Could be Cassie's disappearance is a way for us to discover there is such a thing about time travel?" Levi's conclusion .
Quinn contemplates about it, then replied . "Or to find out there is a life that supposes not exist anymore . "
"It seems you are correct, brother Quinn . "
In the middle of their conversation, Quinn's phone rings .
"Hello, Jessie? Yes . Understood . It was good news . Thank you . "
"Papa?"
"The rebellion has finally retreated . They now secured Lady Isabella and soon, she can come back . "
"That's wonderful news, papa . I'm happy she was fine . "
"We can bring her home soon, and we can ask her if what she finds out," Nicholas spoke .
Madison nodded at him . "Hopefully, Lady Isabella knows how to bring Mama back to the present life, and she won't travel back there . "
"Madison, about this matter . I came up with an idea," Quinn said and glanced at Nicholas .
"Yes, we came up to a conclusion," Nicholas seconded .
She implied that something is going on with these men .
