Chapter 633

Chasel was still reeling, intoxicated by the potent pheromones of his beloved, unable to pull himself away.

But Cassius‘ heart clenched tight, veins bulging in his strong hand as he forcefully pried Chasel’s fingers open and stepped out of his embrace.

A wave of loss crashed through Chasel, freezing him in place.

“Yeah, Suri?”

Cassius responded with a cool detachment, turning to stride across the room and open the door without hesitation.

Suri stood outside, a smile playing on her lips. “I knew it. Chasel had to be here with you. It’s always been clear you two have a special bond.”

A special bond.

Indeed.

Cassius‘ eyes flickered, and he could only muster a shallow smile in return.

“Chasel, come with me to my room. There’s something I need to discuss with you.” Suri beckoned Chasel with a crooked finger, her smile unchanging.

Chasel felt an inexplicable tightness in his chest.

He gave Cassius a deep, searching look.

But Cassius‘ gaze remained lowered, avoiding the intensity in Chasel’s eyes.

Cassius followed Suri back to her room.

The door shut, the lock clicked, and the warmth in Suri’s eyes vanished.
