Chapter 464

“Hey? Emeric, where’s Evadne? Jeff craned his neck, peering outside with persistent curiosity.

“She won’t be joining us tonight, Jell. Evadne is injured and needs her rest. I’ve told her to stay

wy put and recover, Emeric replied with a nonchalant shrug.

“Emeric, you’re being unfair, man. You promised to bring Evadne over this time, Besides, we’re practically family now, not just guests!” Jeff rambled on though confusion gnawed at him inside.

Emeric settled into his seat, “If you really care about Evadne, you should let her heal properly. No need to drag her around.”

It was just before that horse race that he’d met with Emeric in private.

They had hit it off, and Emeric seemed quite taken with his son, assuring him that he would support the union between Evadne and Avery, welcoming Evadine into the Chambers family as a daughter–in–law.

He had also pondered Byron’s marriage prospects, his beloved second son, second only to his eldest in his affections.

He was angling for a double celebration, hoping to propose to Emeric and Myra’s daughter Nydia on behalf of Byron.

Originally, he didn’t think Nydia was a match for Byron given her modest background.

But now that Byron was down to one good leg, he wasn’t in a position to be choosy, and Ms. Nydia suddenly seemed much more appealing. That was why he’d eagerly brought Byron along tonight, to meet with Nydia,

But what he couldn’t fathom was why Emeric, who had virtually handpicked Avery as his son–in–law, had come without Evadne and with a noticeably

Usually, Evadine’s stunning beauty and presence overshadowed Nydia

But now, it was clear that both sisters were beauties in their own right, reminiscent of the classic novel’s contrasting heroines, like the fair and virtuous Amy and the fiery and passionate Jo.

Byron, having spent too much time in the hospital and away from female company aside from nurses couldn’t take his eyes off Nydia,
