Chapter 524
Evadne and the others followed Jason’s intense gaze-
And there, under the dim glow of a street lamp, stood Nydia, her delicate frame almost disappearing against the
backdrop of the night. The evening breeze tousled her soft, seaweed like hair and caressed her tear–stained,
porcelain cheeks,
“Jason‘
Her hoarse voice echoed his name, tears cascading down her face without end.
Her fragile silhouette seemed on the verge of being devoured by the darkness, so pitiful it could shatter one’s
heart.
Jason, driven by a surge of protectiveness, dashed to the girl he adored. His eyes reddened, he embraced her with
all the strength he could muster, as if trying to draw out every last drop of her pain.
“Why are you out here so late? It’s not safe,” he managed to say, struggling to steady his voice while his breaths
came out ragged.
“Jason, I just wanted to wait for you. I missed you so much.” Nydia sobbed harder, her tears soaking into his
shoulder.
Truth be told, she had been standing there since before dusk, including when she made those distress calls to her
sister and brother–in–law.
She had been waiting, waiting for Jason to walk out with his head held high.
She didn’t know how long it would take, but no matter how long, she was willing to wait.
“I missed you too, missed you like crazy” Jason said, his eyes filled with tender concern. He gently wiped away the
tears from her

Then, pressing his hand firmly against the small of her back, he lowered his gaze, which was moist with emotion,
and captured her soft lips in a kiss that was as fierce as it was lingering.
Evadne watched the lovers reunite after their ordeal, her tears turning to smiles, rubbing her swollen eyes, “Oh,
that’s just beautiful.
Thaddeus wrapped his arm around her waist, whispering huskily in her ear, “Evadne, when we get home, I’ve got
something even better for you.
Blushing, she nestled into his embrace, her cheeks flushing with a coquettish pink.
“Evadne, you two head home and get some rest, we’re heading back to Skyrim. We’ll be in touch, Chasel said with
a smile, waving
them off.
“Chasel”
Evadne had long stopped playing the aloof heiress in front of him, calling Chasel’s name with such familianty, “You
really came through for us this time. Just say the word, how can I ever thank you?”
Chasel blinked thoughtfully, glancing at Cassius’s retreating figure.
He thought, “Well, I’m not keen on being your brother. I want to be your brother’s boyfriend.”
But he couldn’t bring himself to say it, fearing it would scare her off
“You’re Cassius’s sister, which makes you my sister too. It’s all good, no need to be formal”
Evadne and Thaddeus, the lovely couple, returned to their cozy love nest in Elmsworth.
Cassius and Chasel shared a ride, while Jason and Nydia set off together toward Skyrim.
The pitch–black sky was starting to brighten, turning into a serene expanse of deep blue velvet.
Chasel rolled down the car window, squinting his lazy, alluring eyes, resting his cheek on his hand as he gazed up at
the
mysterious sky
What a relief, what pure exhilaration.
For the past twenty–seven years, aside from his academic pursuits, he had been immersed in a world of material
excess, a tug–of–war between extreme stimulation and profound boredom stretching his nerves thin, turning his
temperament increasingly bizarre and eccentric
He had met countless people, yet still felt as lonely as a man in the twilight of his years.
The more people he saw, the tighter he locked his heart. Until he met them, until he met that man.
Chasel’s gaze softened with affection, glancing at the man beside him with a silent yearning

What should he do? He was so in love with this man
So in love that he even considered giving up everything he had to come back and stay with him, for a long, long
time.
“Dr. Bright,” Cassius finally broke the silence.
“You finally remember there’s a living person sitting next to you, right?”
Chasel teased, turning his head to catch a glimpse of Cassius’s handsomely stoic profile, “I’ve been hanging here,
ignored, for over half an hour. I was thinking if I put up with you for one more minute and you still don’t pay me any
attention, I’d ignore you forever”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCassius’s heart fluttered at his childish tantrum, yet he asked coolly. “Do you often have afternoon tea with the
ladies?”
“Yeah.”
“You’re young, and you spend your days with women. Doesn’t it bore you?”
Cassius’s glance was inscrutable as he continued, “You had your freedom abroad, don’t constrain yourself here.
Live as you wish”
“Oh, how should I live then, and would you be able to handle it?” Chasel’s lazy drawl teased him, the allure in his
eyes hard to
resist
Cassius’s voice was husky, yet he responded coldly. That’s your business, nothing to do with me.”
“True, President Ashbourne. You have a world to manage, too busy to spare a thought for me, Chasel’s voice
betrayed a hint of
sadness
Cassius pressed his lips together, holding back his words.
Tm trying to get closer to the ladies, so that if we really become one family in the future, it’ll save me the trouble of
building relationships, won’t it? That’s called social wisdom, President Ashbourne.”
One family?
Amidst a whirl of thoughts, Chasel pressed his fragrant body against Cassius, his voice mesmerizing as it whispered
close to his ear, “Besides, my aunt married into your family So in a way, we are family, huh.”
In the dimness of the car, he sat upright, his eyes veiled with a seductive charm.
“Theard from Myra you’re quite fond of nuts”
Cassius kept his gaze fixed ahead, the muscles beneath his suit tensing, “Consider all the goods at home dedicated
to you
