Chapter 484

Cassius’s brow twitched with ferocity as he stepped forward, disarming Bennett with a swift and deft move.

Colonel Bennett, too, was known for his prowess in combat, and to think of disarming him was usually nothing short of a pipe dream,

But Cassius had covered the gun’s muzzle with his own hand; Bennett feared an accidental discharge that could injure his elder brother and ultimately had to let go.

“Cassius, if you really care about our sister, you wouldn’t stand in my way!” Bennett’s eyes, bloodshot with rage, bore into Thaddeus as if they were daggers, ready to tear the man apart at a glance.

The accusation was harsh, especially coming from the usually gentle and upright Mr. Waverley. Its impact was doubly potent yet Cassius felt no

resentment.

If this rage could be vented in such a manner, then perhaps it was for the best, lest his brothers do something truly terrifying.

“Bennett, I care about Evadne, but I care about you too, and Arnold, Elvis. We grew up together. Which one of you do I not care for? I just don’t want you to throw away your lives over some scoundrel. You may feel vindicated, but have you considered Evadne’s feelings? You’ll let our parents down, you know that?!”

At the mention of their mother, a wave of sorrow surged through the brothers, moistening their eyes.

“You’ve finally come home after so long; we all missed you, and Evadne must have been delighted to see you.”

Cassius closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the pain in his heart, “Let bygones be bygones; Evadne. has moved on. The person involved doesn’t want to pursue it, and our incessant fixation only inflicts additional pain on Evadne, forcing her to live in the shadow of her loss.”

The shadow of her loss. It was the loss of her kid!

Thaddeus panted heavily as if on the brink of death, tears welling up beneath his reddened eyes, only to be washed away by the cold rain.

His and Evadne’s child, had he still been alive, would have been three years old. What had he done. What had he done!

“The rain is pouring down, and you’re already exhausted from your journey. Getting soaked will only make you sick. Go home,” Cassius grabbed Bennett’s rigid arm and pulled him toward the front door.

“President Ashbourne.”

Thaddeus’s voice trembled like that of a grievously wounded man, his broad shoulders drooping, “Please let me see Evadne just one more time.”
