4.20 Fortunate Bonds in a Bitter Reality

When summoned for dinner, Cass descended the stairs. Silas remarked, "Luoyang is still upset."

Cass responded thoughtfully, "I know, it might be wise to tell them the truth. I understand the original's fear, but I believe his parents won't view him differently. Luoyang, on the other hand, won't rest until he uncovers the truth."

Taking a seat beside Luoyang in the dining room, Cass greeted with a smile, "Hello."

Saifei, also smiling, inquired, "Where were you? We didn't hear you return."

Cass explained, "I was rehearsing my lines."

Saifei nodded, curious, "How was your first day?"

Cass beamed, "It was fantastic. I'm eager to begin shooting."

Saifei smiled warmly. As Cass briefly met Luoyang's gaze before lowering his eyes, she sensed her husband's lingering anger. She understood. They had believed Cass had moved past keeping secrets, but it appeared they were mistaken.
