His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel 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 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 playing the aloof heiress in front of him, calling Chasel's name with such familiarity, "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.
