His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 665

Chapter 665 

Arnold and Bennett excused themselves and closed the door behind them, providing space for the conversation between Evadne and Chasel. 

“Chasel.” Evadne whispered his name. 

In that moment, words failed her. Whether it was offering comfort or discussing her elder brother, nothing seemed appropriate. 

A few seconds of silence passed between them, feeling like an eternity. 

“Evadne. I’m so sorry.” Chasel couldn’t lift his gaze, droplets of sweat streaming down his chiseled cheeks. 

Evadne shook her head, her voice a soft caress, “Chasel, you are not to blame for any of this. There’s no need for apologies. Liking someone isn’t a crime, not in the least.” 

“It is my fault, all of it.” 

Chasel’s head remained bowed, like a sinner scorned by thousands, his usual confidence washed away. “Suri was right; I ruined Cassius. If only I had listened to her, none of this would have happened. Evadne, I’m unforgivable. I’ve been selfish. But I wish I could be the only one to pay the price. I’d take any suffering, any punishment. I don’t want Cassius to suffer. I wish we could go back to the start. But it seems too late now.” 

Pain pricked Evadne’s heart; her voice caught in her throat. 

Putting aside whether her brother was truly ruined or not, Chasel was crumbling to ruins. 

“Just now, I reached out to my closest senior back home, who is also a renowned expert in neurology. He’s meticulous in his work and a person of great integrity. For Chairman Emeric’s illness, you can seek his help in the future. His expertise is no less than mine.” 

Evadne’s eyes narrowed, her throat tightening, “And what about you, Chasel? What will you do?” 

“I’m going back home.” 

Chasel said with a bitter smile. “This time, I probably won’t come back.” 

“How can that be! You can’t just leave like this. What about my brother?” 

Evadne’s voice rose in anxiety as she grabbed his arm. “You care about my brother so much, don’t you know how much you mean to him? Remember his first reaction when your relationship was exposed? He took all the blame himself, terrified that you might be criticized or bullied. Even at the expense of his own reputation, he is determined to protect you!” 

Chasel slowly raised his head, his eyes meeting Evadne’s. A pain so deep that it felt bone–marrow deep stirred a tempest in his heart. 

“Don’t you get it? My brother was ready to risk everything to be with you.” 

Evadne’s fingers tightened on his sleeve, crumpling the white lab coat. “If you leave now, what does that say about the love between you two? What is the point of my brother’s sacrifices? You faced the world of hurt, risked being ostracized to be with my brother. Is this how it ends? Are you really okay with that?” 

“I’m not okay with it!” 

Chasel finally broke down, tears streaming uncontrollably. “But what good is my dissatisfaction, Evadne? Will the world accept us, will your father, your family? I could give up everything, but Cassius can’t! He deserves to be the happiest man in the world. Otherwise, I would have rather we never met!” 

“The only condition for my brother’s happiness now is one thing,” Evadne said, her eyes shining like stars. “That is, for you to stay by his side, through thick and thin.” 

The words “through thick and thin” made Chasel’s soul quake within his body. 

He bowed and fell down to his knees slowly, his hands pressing against the cold floor, the veins on his arms bulging, “I once told Cassius I don’t care about being in the shadows or being his lover unseen by the world. Formalities don’t matter, titles don’t matter. As long as I can be with him, nothing else matters.” 

“But it’s different now, your love is out in the open.” 

Evadne squatted down in front of him, tilting her head to seek his face, her eyes curving into crescent moons. “Now that it’s in the light, so no more ‘secret lover.‘ How about I call you ‘sister–in–law‘? What do you think of that?” 

Chasel suddenly looked up, his face flushing red, “I, I’m a man!” 

“I’m not blind; I can see that,” Evadne chuckled. “But as my brother’s partner, It’s either you or no one else. So, my ‘sister–in–law‘
