Evadne and the others followed Jason’s intense gaze-
And there, under the dim glow of a streetmp, 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, porcin 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 everyst drop of her pain.
“Why are you out here sote? 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–inw.
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
eyes.
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 ying 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, ncing 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–ck sky was starting to brighten, turning into a serene expanse of deep blue velvet.
Chasel rolled down the car window, squinting hiszy, alluring eyes, resting his cheek on his hand as
he gazed up at the
mysterious sky
What a relief, what pure exhration.
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 stimtion and profound boredom stretching his
nerves thin, turning his temperament increasingly bizarre and entric
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, ncing 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 toe 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”
Cassius’s heart fluttered at his childish tantrum, yet he asked coolly. “Do you often have afternoon tea
with thedies?”
“Yeah.”
“You’re young, and you spend your days with women. Doesn’t it bore you?”
Cassius’s nce 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’szy 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.”

Cassius pressed his lips together, holding back his words.

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

Chasel had the excitement of a young girl in his demeanor, “When I was little, my aunt used
hours, and she’d neverin, only stopping when I was full”
Cassius looked at him intently, his voice husky, “Next time, I’ll peel them for you.”
Chasel’s heart leaped with joy, his fingers tracing Cassius’s chiseled jaw, his warm breath close to his
cool lips, “Alright, I’d like that. I only want to eat the nuts you peel for me.”
Cassius clenched his hands, seeing right through him.
He was not only looking forward to his promise, he was longing for him.
When Evadne got home, she was utterly exhausted,ining all the way about how tired she was.
She truly was tired.
She was also subtly signaling to her man, hinting that once they
be they hit the bed, she didn’t want to be tired any longer.
Stepping out of the car, Thaddeus scooped her up in his arms without missing a beat. The petite
woman’s slender legs dangled, her high heels dropping off one after the other, first the left, then the
right.
Thaddeus had no time to deal with the lost shoes, leaving Gordon, begrudgingly, to pick up after
Evadne’s trail.
Back in their room, after they both had taken a refreshing shower, Thaddeus patiently waited as
Evadne went through her borate skincare routine, from the tips of her hair down to the very tips of
her nails.
By the time they were ready to lie down, daylight had fully embraced the morning.
Exhausted, the two copsed onto the bed. Thaddeus wasted no time in pulling his beloved into his
embrace, while Evadne used his muscr arm as a pillow, her eyes fluttering shut in a haze of
sleepiness.
“Mmm, you were quite the gentleman today”
“Pfft, thankfully, you’re not all beast with no humanity.”
In her drowsy state, Evadne pecked him on the lips and murmured, “Good morning, let’s sleep.”
With that, she was out like a light.
Thaddeus listened to her sweet, even breaths, his eyes a deep, soft darkness, brimming with
tenderness. “Good morning, my dear wife,” he whispered.
