Chapter 523

Dog food? What the heck?

Evadne and Thaddeus exchanged bewildered glances while Cassius stared at Chasel’s androgynously captivating face with astonishment.

Cedric had his mouth hung open, and his eyes bulging like twin flamethrowers!

A crushing sense of humiliation slammed into him as he felt the events of that night playing vividly before his eyes–panic, fear, and shame made him shudder like a leaf in the wind!

“You ew!” Cedric clutched his mouth, feeling himself on the verge of puking again!

“Mr. Cedric, you look like you’re in pain there,” Chasel remarked, stepping back to join Cassius as if Cedric was infected with some contagious disease; his eyes were glinting mischievously. “But considering your breath’s usually worse than a porta–potty at a rock festival, eating a bit of crap probably didn’t make much of a difference to you. It’s just ended up where it belongs, hasn’t it?”

Eating crap?!

Holy smokes! That’s more explosive than Byron flashing the crowd at the concert!

“Ugh-!”

The persistent stench hit Cedric again. With his hands clamping over his mouth, he stumbled out the door in a frantic dash.

“Hahaha Hilarious! I’d die laughing!” Chasel was in stitches, with tears nearly streaming from his laughter, as he elbowed the handsome man next to him. “Come on, why aren’t you guys laughing? This is gold! I could laugh about it for years! Hahaha!”

Cassius watched him silently.

That vibrant and unrestrained laugh made the corners of his lips turn up instinctively, his gaze was deepening as it reflected Chasel’s mirth.

“Chasel sweetie, spill the beans! What happened?” Evadne blinked her sparkling eyes, her face alight with the anticipation of a child waiting for a bedtime story
