His Ex wife is a billionaire Chapter 351
Chapter 351
Evadne hadn’t expected Thaddeus to carry her back to the room where she had lived alone for three years.
“What!”
Thaddeus had intended to set her gently on the bed, but the petite woman in his arms was as restless as a feisty kitten. She squirmed, his grip sl*pped, and she landed face–first on the bed.
Fortunately, Evadne’s face was still in one piece, otherwise her nose would’ve been a goner.
“It’s your own fault for wriggling. I didn’t intend to drop you.” Thaddeus looked down at her, a smirk threatening to break through at her current predicament. “Men are always replaceing excuses for themselves!”
Evadne muttered angrily, attempting to get up from the bed. However, Thaddeus was quick to grab her ankle, leaning over her and trapping her beneath him. “Let go of my foot! Are you some kind of pervert?” Evadne curled her legs, nearly flashing her undergarments. It was beyond mortifying!
Despite her struggles, Evadne’s efforts were futile against Thaddeus. It was like trying to beat an Olympic athlete with playground games.
His grip tightened on her ankle as his gaze traveled from her flushed face, down to her cherry l*ps, her slender n*eck, and finally her alluring collarbone.
His breath hitched, his blood heated, and his heart pounded erratically.
Suddenly, a sharp pang of pain shot through Thaddeus‘ head. He clenched his eyes shut, pressing his palms against his temples to ward off the sudden wave of discomfort. “Thaddeus, it hurts. It hurts so much. Thaddeus.”
“Be patient, the pain will slowly subside.”
“I’ll be as gentle as I can with you, I promise.”
Fragments of memories he had never seen before filled his mind, accompanied by sensual moans that made his face flush.
It was as if he had shared an intimate night with a woman in this very room.
But that was impossible. He had never been with any woman before.
Seeing Thaddeus distracted, Evadne took the opportunity to kick him in the stomach.
“Get off me!”
Although she didn’t use much force, Thaddeus stumbled backwards, barely catching himself against the wall.
Evadne’s eyes widened as she noticed his face turn pale and a thin layer of sweat forming on his forehead.
Just as she was about to say something. Thaddeus asked in a hoarse voice, “Why are you really here to see Elspeth?”
That’s none of your business.” Evadne’s gaze turned icy cold.
Thaddeus felt as if her gaze had pierced his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, “If you’re here to settle scores with Elspeth about Myra, I suggest you pick another day. Tonight is not the time.”
“Why isn’t it the time?”
Evadne raised her captivating l*ps, her slender waist straight, and her long legs crossed. She sat there, exuding an air of royalty and charm that was almost untouchable, like a queen. “Oh, is it because Mr. Barry, Mrs. Fairhaven, and Edith are here, and you’re afraid I’ll ruin your little party?”
Thaddeus frowned, “What party?”
“The one where you’re courting, discussing marriage, and preparing for the wedding.” Evadne’s eyes were filled with mischief.
“Evadne! Shut up!” Thaddeus felt a pang in his chest, his eyes bloodshot with anger.
“Congratulations, Mr. Thaddeus, on your upcoming marriage.”
Evadne completely ignored his anger, instead, her smile grew wider as if she was genuinely congratulating him, “This time, Miss Edith is young and beautiful, comes from a much more prestigious family than Acacia, and she is Jareth’s sister. It’s like a two–for–one deal. Mr. Frederic will surely be pleased with this daughter–in–law, and it will also boost your position in the company.”
“Do you think I care about that?” Thaddeus felt as if he was about to explode.
“I don’t care if you do or don’t. Just stay out of my business, and I’ll stay out of yours. I’m leaving.”
Evadne had come tonight to settle scores with Elspeth, not to be bothered by this man. She just wanted to get out of this room as quickly as possible.
Being alone with him in this room was suffocating.
She was sensitive and empathetic, easily affected by her surroundings.
And in this room, all the memories of her three–year marriage to Thaddeus were unpleasant.
More importantly, it was in this room that she had lost her virginity. And this man, even now, still couldn’t remember their shared history.
Perhaps it was better to forget.
Remembering would only bring pain.
Evadne stood up briskly, treating Thaddeus as if he were thin air, and made to walk past him.
Just as they brushed past each other, Thaddeus, his face as cold as ice, yanked her arm and pinned her against the wall with a force that was nearly savage!”
“Ugh!” Evadne’s vision swayed, her back aching from the impact!
And before her, Thaddeus‘ eyes were bloodshot, beautiful yet suffocating!
“Thaddeus! Are you out of your mind?”
“Did we ever… you know, before?”
Thaddeus‘ voice was a hoarse whisper against her burning ear, causing her heart to skip a beat. “Thaddeus, what are you saying?”
“Never mind.” Thaddeus swallowed hard, shaking his head.
He must be going mad.
Why would he ask such a provocative question?
But then, what were those sensual images in his mind? Was he experiencing late–onset puberty at the age of thirty?
“Stop bothering me, Thaddeus.”
Evadne’s heart was pounding wildly, but she pushed against his firm chest, her cheeks burning. “You saved my life once, and I don’t want to hate you. But if you continue to harass me, I won’t show you any mercy!”
“Evadne, do you really despise me and distrust me that much?” Thaddeus knew he sounded like a desperate lover.
In the face of unrequited love, a person could gradually morph into a scorned lover, spiraling into madness!
“Thaddeus, do you know how much I despise being in this room?”
Evadne lifted her gaze towards the ornate chandelier, a fixture she had been staring at for countless lonely nights over the past three years. Smiling bitterly, she said. “When I’m here, all I can think of are the countless lonely nights, unrequited love, and heartache. Honestly, you should be with Edith. In her world, you’re perfect. But in my world, you’re nothing but shattered pieces that can’t be put back together. I wish happiness for us in our future lives. I hope our paths never cross again.”
Never cross again.
Well said, Evadne. Well said.”
Thaddeus felt an intense pain, releasing his grip on her hand. Anger surged through his veins, stirring within his chest.
He had initially wanted to explain himself.
But he suddenly realized that what Evadne wanted was not an excuse or an explanation. She didn’t care if he was truly innocent.
What she wanted was for him to disappear from her life, completely and forever.
The evidence Jareth presented, although not direct, was still quite powerful.
The whole thing had become increasingly complicated.
Fortunately, only the Abernathy and Fairhaven families were present that night. If this was happening in front of outsiders or the media, Edith would be completely ruined.
As her brother, Jareth couldn’t do that to her.
Seeing the tense atmosphere and Jareth’s unwillingness to back down, Barry decided to return home to investigate the matter further.
“Jareth, Edith, you both come with me!” Barry, leaning on his cane, stood up.
“Mr. Barry, are you leaving just like that? Have you settled your granddaughter’s marriage?”
A clear voice rang out. Evadne, smiling, descended from the staircase with extraordinary grace.
As if the Abernathy’s Windermere Estate was her estate, her aura overwhelming even Elspeth, the actual mistress of the house.
Elspeth’s face turned an ugly shade.
“Ah, Ms. Evadne, it’s so good of you to visit tonight. Since you and Mr. Thaddeus have a history, I’m sure you have a lot to catch up on. I won’t disturb you.” Barry’s expression was stern, as Evadne’s appearance had certainly thrown a wrench into his plans.
“Oh, no, Mr. Barry, you misunderstand. I have nothing to say to Mr. Thaddeus. Just consider what happened earlier a moment of madness.” Evadne said casually, shrugging. “After all, as his ex–wife, I’ve never quite understood what goes on in that man’s head.”
Evadne’s candid admittance of her past relationship with Thaddeus left Barry at a loss for words.
Thaddeus, following closely behind, heard her comments and his handsome face darkened.
Madness? Really?
Did he have to wait until his next life to be seen in a better light by this woman?
“Elspeth, shall we have a chat?” Evadne coldly looked at Elspeth.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Evadne, it’s late and I need to rest. I don’t have time for a chat. Perhaps another day.” Elspeth’s tone was clearly resistant.
“I have plenty of time and I’m not in a rush. We can talk about whatever you want,” Evadne said, lifting an eyebrow in amusement and moving to stand in front of everyone. “We have all night to discuss our grievances.”
“I’m old and can’t keep up with you. Please, leave!” Elspeth’s tone hardened.
Thaddeus and Jareth both clenched their fists in unison.
There was no question about it, they were both protective of Evadne. They could handle anything else, but they couldn’t stand by and watch her being bullied!
“Originally, I wanted to have a private conversation with you, considering it’s not good to air d*rty laundry in public. However, since you’re not cooperating, don’t blame me for not saving face for you.”
Evadne’s smile turned icy, her voice frosty, “At her last birthday banquet, Myra was attacked by a villain. You, Elspeth, had a part in it, didn’t you?”
Everyone was stunned, all eyes turning to Elspeth!
The Fairhaven family, who were about to leave, stopped in their tracks, their ears perking up at Evadne’s words!
“Ms. Evadne, we were once related by marriage. I know you dislike me, but I didn’t expect you to falsely accuse me like this,” Elspeth stammered, trying to keep her calm even as her heart pounded and her palms sweated..
“Alright. Then let me rephrase it,” Evadne said, her smile turning–sly, “The villain who attacked Myra, leaving Thaddeus severely injured, was an old acquaintance of yours, wasn’t he, Elspeth?”
