Chapter 423

After a brief mental struggle, Evadne made a decision–saying nothing.

Thaddeus was now consumed by guilt and regret. She did wish to see him rue his past actions towards her but his repeated attempts to make amends, risking his life and giving everything to repay his debt to her were more than enough.

She still wanted him to shine brightly in her life, like a star. She didn’t want to add to his guilt.

This was her subtle way of loving someone.

“Evadne? Are you really okay?” Thaddeus noticed her pale complexion and felt a tightness in his chest. His warm hand gently squeezed her shoulder.

“I’m fine.”

She lifted her face and beamed at him, “What could possibly be wrong with me? I grazed my finger climbing a tree when I was a kid. It’s no big deal, doesn’t affect my daily life.”

Despite her reassurances, he still couldn’t help but worry. He held her pinky finger delicately and said, “You have so many brothers. How did they not take good care of you?”

“My brothers do take great care of me! But what can they do when I’m a wild kid, who doesn’t like to be tamed?” Evadne pouted playfully, her coquettish charm making his heart flutter. He couldn’t help but peck her inviting lips.

“From now on, you won’t need them to look out for you. I take care of you, protect you.”

She blushed instantly at his words. His breath hitched at her reaction, his charming eyes dripping with desire.

“Ah! Speaking of which Evadne quickly took out a small, elegant box from her coat pocket and handed it to him, “Here, a gift from Cassius.”

“From your brother? Thaddeus was taken aback.

She nodded shyly, her checks turning pink, “Yes, you were unconscious when he gave it to me. I thought it would be best if I give it to you once you wake up.”

She was a person who valued presentation. So, she chose an elegant black velvet jewelry box to house the gift.

Thaddeus felt a pang of emotion, his throat tightening at the unexpected present. He hadn’t received a gift in a long time.

Once upon a time, only Evodne remembered all those anniversaries and holidays, only she cared about him. But he was blind to his blessings back then. He had someone who loved him wholeheartedly, but he always saw her as a burden, always trying to escape from her.

“Open it,” Evadne urged, leaning against him.

Thaddeus opened the box, his eyes widening at the sight of the cross pendant necklace that Cassius always wore!

“Isn’t this your brother’s treasured possession? He’s willing to give it to me??

“Huh? He never shows it to others. How do you know he always keeps this necklace close to him?” Evadne caught on to the crucial detail.

Thaddeus gave a bitter smile.
