Chapter 833

Evadne couldn't tear her gaze away from the photograph, her heart clenching and then pounding wildly in her chest.

The photo, with its yellowing white edges, clearly had some years on it.

In it, he and he were close, an aura of tender affection surrounding them.

Even without words, Evadne could tell that Cassius and the man were lovers. Love poured out from the depths of their eyes.

The smile on Cassius' face that met her shocked eyes was like a sunflower in full bloom, so bright and passionate. She, Cassius' little sister who had grown up under his care, had never seen such a smile on his face.

Not even with Chasel had Cassius ever smiled like that.

Somehow, a complex emotion lodged itself in Evadne's chest, an uncomfortable feeling she couldn't articulate.

Suddenly, steady footsteps approached from outside the study.

Evadne quickly placed the Bible back on the shelf and slipped the photograph into her jacket pocket.

With a click, the door to the study opened.

Cassius, dressed in a deep blue silk pajama set, entered with a gentle smile upon seeing Evadne,

"Evadne, when did you get here? Have you been waiting long?"

"Not really."

Evadne's smile stiffened slightly as she looked away, "Cassius, is Chasel awake yet?"

"Not yet, he's a fox who loves his sleep. After last night's shenanigans, I don't expect him to be up before noon." Cassius' dark eyes gleamed with a ripple of affection, his lips curving in a tender smile.
