Chapter 525
The afternoon sun streamed through the curtains as Evadne finally woke from her deep slumber. She was notorious
for being able to sleep in like a hiberating bear, but Thaddeus, ever the light sleeper, had only managed a few
hours before he was wide awake
Having not left the room, Thaddeus had been quietly handling urgent matters for the family business from the
comfort of the living room sofa, all while keeping a silent vigil over her.
Suddenly. Evadne let out a gasp, bolting upright from the bed.
Thaddeus immediately dropped the files he was working on and rushed to her side, wrapping her in his arms.
“What’s wrong? Bad dream?” he asked gently.
Evadne, her breath still uneven, clutched his hand, her cheeks flushed a ripe cherry red. “Thaddeus, guess what I
dreamed
d about?* He cleared his throat, leaning in to steal a kiss, only to have her dodge playfully. “I dreamed that my
brother and Chasel got married!”
“Oh?” Thaddeus paused, staring at her in bewilderment.

Thaddeus remained silent, unsure of how to respond.
“And just as they were about to kiss, I woke up! Ugh, why did I have to wake up at the most crucial moment?
Evadne pouted, her fingers working through her hair in frustration, her heart still racing.
“You’re too adorable, Evadne, Thaddeus chuckled, as he sat on the bed and gently pulled her close, tapping her
forehead lightly. “What goes on in your head every day?”
II you.”
“I was so tired when we got back, I fell asleep the moment I closed my eyes. But I had so much I wanted to tell
She swallowed nervously, fixating on his eyes. 1 have this feeling, like Chasel might actually like my brother. And my
brother doesn’t seem to push Chasel away”
Thaddeus didn’t dismiss her words as mere post–sleep ramblings. Instead, he pondered them seriously.
“I know about Dr. Bright’s sexual orientation, but Cassius is different.
“That’s true. Maybe I’m just being silly, but that dream felt so real,” Evadne sighed, taking a deep breath. Tve
always thought my brother was the best man in our family, that no woman was good enough for him. Not that
those girls weren’t nice, but something was always missing. Yet, that perfect sense of compatibility, I felt it with
Chasel. It’s unbelievable.”
“Evadne, even if that’s the case, would you be unable to accept it?”
Evadne shook her head vehemently. Tm more worried about how Emeric would take it. My brother claims his faith
is why he’s not married with children. Emeric has reluctantly accepted that. But if my brother actually prefers men,
Ah, I’m overthinking this. Even if it’s true, Emeric has slowly come to accept you, what’s there left to not accept?”
Thaddeus was torn between laughter and concern
Just then, the concerned voice of Alva echoed from outside the door
“Mr. Abernathy, Mrs. Abernathy, are you both awake? Come down for a bite to eat before you go back to sleep.
How can you rest well on an empty stomach?”
Thaddeus wore an expression of pure sheepishness, while Evadne clutched the sheets to her chest in
embarrassment.
He was all the more vigorous when he was hungry, devouring his wife whole, taking her in completely.
After freshening up and changing clothes, Evadne and Thaddeus descended to the dining room.
It had been a while since Evadne had tasted Alva’s cooking, and she devoured the meal with gusto. Alva watched
her with affection, as if she were her own long–lost daughter.
“Wow, this is divine!” Evadne licked her lips and let out a cute little burp, then enthusiastically handed her bowl to
Alva. “Can I have another serving, Alva? Pile it high, pleaser

All elders were the same. They brightened up seeing young ones eat heartily.
“Take it easy, Evadne. Don’t overdo it and hurt your stomach, Thaddeus said Indulgently, pulling out a napkin to
gently wipe away the grease from the corner of her mouth.

“Why are you eating so little? On a diet? she teased, leaning into his touch.
Tm not very hungry.”
“If you weren’t hungry, you should’ve said something earlier. The fish Alva fried and the shrimp she made are
delicious. I was saving some for you, worried you wouldn’t have enough.”
Evadne reached out for the fish, the embodiment of a cat that got the cream. If you’re not eating, it’s all mine!”
The tenderness that shone from the depths of Thaddeus’s eyes threatened to melt her on the spot.
This was exactly what he wanted–her uninhibited self. He didn’t care for gentle manners or understanding–just her,
as she was
After a hearty meal, Evadne flopped contentedly onto the living room couch.
