Evadne’s eyes widened; she fixed her gaze on the man’s striking and chiseled profile. Nothing was heard on the other end of the line, except for the faint sound of sobbing. “What’s the matter? One of you is giving me the stink eye, and the other’s gone mute.”

Thaddeus cracked a half–smile, reached out, and playfully pinched Evadne’s cheek. “Are you sisters not going to draw straws to see who trusts me first?” “No, it’s not that.”

Nydia spoke up first, her voice low and filled with gratitude. “Thank you for agreeing to help Jason, really, thank you.”

“You don’t have to mention it; that’s what a family is for after all.”

After calming Nydia’s emotions, Thaddeus ended the call and immediately ordered Gordon, “Turn around, head to the station.”

Gordon promptly complied, spinning the steering wheel in a swift U–turn.

Thaddeus sighed, intertwining his fingers with hers and tightening his grip gently. “It’s been tough enough for those two lovebirds already. I don’t want them to go through any more turmoil; I can’t bear to see them get hurt.”

Evadne’s breath hitched slightly. “You really empathize with them, don’t you?”
