His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 203

Evadne thought angrily,

Was that man still outside? What on earth was he doing?

Was he trying to pull a pity card? Did he think she was stupid enough to fall for such an amateur trick?

Evadne was about to turn back to her room in anger, but after a few steps, she stopped again.

The weather was not as hot as it was in summer. In the late autumn of Elmsworth, the temperature at

night could even drop below freezing.

Thaddeus had been standing outside for three to four hours, and his clothes were thin, If he didn’t

leave and froze to death at the door, wouldn’t she have to deal with the police? What a hassle!

Thinking of this, Evadne quickly returned to her room and picked up her cell phone to call Thaddeus.

But his phone was off!

Evadne was completely baffled by his behavior.

Thaddeus’ pity act didn’t move her. Instead, it aroused her curiosity.

So, she quickly went to the door, grabbed a large black umbrella, and walked out.

When Thaddeus saw the woman coming towards him, he thought he was hallucinating due to standing

in the rain for too long and the exhaustion and cold.

It wasn’t until Evadne stood in front of him that he realized what was going on. He felt a wave of

warmth in his heart, and his eyes were filled with joy. “What the hell are you doing? Can you stop?”

Evadne yelled at him sharply.

“Aren’t you cold, dressed like that?” Thaddeus asked instead of answering her question.

Thaddeus remained calm, trying to take off his suit to give to her but found that he was completely

soaked. He had to stop awkwardly.

“Why did you turn off your phone?” Evadne asked angrily.

“My phone ran out of battery,” Thaddeus answered honestly, like a henpecked husband being scolded

by his wife.

He seemed to quite enjoy her harsh tone. He was like a man who liked a good scolding.

“So, you were planning to stand out here all night if I didn’t come out?”

“Yes, I have something to tell you”

Evadne laughed in anger. “Thaddeus, why do you always seem so basic to me? Can’t you come up

with something more sophisticated than the pity card? You’re the CEO of the Abernathy Group, not

some thug, right?”

“As long as I can see you, that’s all that matters.” Thaddeus’s voice was cold, but his eyes were too

bright to ignore.

Evadne was so angry she was panting. Her thin clothes were also getting wet, and his gaze on her was

getting deeper.

Good thing he had the self-control of a soldier, or else who could resist such a tempting sight?

“Couldn’t sleep tonight?”

“What?”

“I remember you never used to wake up at night. You always slept straight till morning”

Evadne’s heart jolted, and her grip on the umbrella tightened

Back when they were newlyweds, they used to share a bed for about half a year.

Even in the same bed, Thaddeus only gave her his back, as if there was a huge canyon between them.

She knew that Thaddeus was a light sleeper, but she didn’t expect him to pay attention to her.

“Weren’t you saying you had something to tell me? Say it quickly. It’s freezing!” Evadne started to

shiver.

“Let’s talk in the car.”

Thaddeus took the umbrella from her hand and quickly opened the car door, pushing her into the car

without hesitation.

Once in the car, the air was filled with the smell of dampness

Under the dim light, Evadne noticed that Thaddeus’s thin lips were slightly trembling, and his hand

resting on his knee was starting to turn a bit purple.

She pursed her lips. Suddenly, Thaddeus took out a blanket and wrapped her tightly in it.

“1 found out who’s been pulling the strings behind the scenes. It’s a woman named Caroline, and her

father is Keith Porter. You should understand why she’s seeking revenge”

Evadne looked up in surprise. “Did you come here to tell me this?”

“Yes, but not only this.”

Thaddeus’s voice was controlled but trembling slightly. “I wanted to see if you were okay and if this had

affected you.”

Evadne laughed. Evadne had no feelings for Thaddeus anymore and didn’t need to pretend to be weak

in front of him. She laughed out loud. “Do you think

I’d be upset over such a small thing? The daughter of the Ashbourne family is not that easy to defeat,

Thaddeus. You’re underestimating me

“That’s good” There was a hint of relief in Thaddeus’s eyes.

Tui telling me this?”

Evadne thought he was getting stranger, but she would never have guessed that Thaddeus had fallen

for her.

For three whole years, she had given him countless opportunities to fall for her, and he was only falling

for her now?

It was hilarious. No one would react that slowly!

“Evadne, I’ve always been lacking towards you. Our marriage for those three years was in name only. I

wasn’t good enough to you”

Thaddeus tried to find a reasonable explanation for his actions. He said quietly, “So, whenever there’s

a chance, I still hope to make it up to you.” “Make it up to me? Okay”

Evadne’s deep eyes were staring at Thaddeus, like an icy cave. “Then promise me, from now on, don’t

show up in front of me and don’t interfere with my business, just like that”

Thaddeus frowned tightly. His heart was in pain as if being stirred by a knife, to the point where he felt

like his heart was about to stop beating.

Evadne took off the blanket around her and looked at him coldly. “Don’t talk about making it up to me

anymore. I’d rather you say it’s to strike at Glynnis Then I might be willing to listen to you a little more.”

Watching Evadne brave the wind and rain to quickly enter the villa, he felt heart empty. His eyes were

full of the wind and rain outside, and loneliness. Deep down, he was still hoping that she would have a

little bit of reluctance towards him.

He felt unwilling, yet helpless.

Was this the state of mind with which the Evadne who loved him had spent those struggling three

years?

Evadne returned to the villa and leaned against the door, taking several deep breaths before her

fluctuating emotions stabilized.

Hearing the faint sound of a sports car engine outside, she knew he was gone, then she slowly walked

to the edge of the bed, looking out

At that moment, a pair of warm large hands gently landed on her shoulders.

She was first startled, and then she gave a bitter smile, “Cassius, what are you doing up so late? You

scared me. How come you didn’t make a sound when you walked?”

“I made a sound, but you were too absorbed.”

Cassius heaved a sigh, wrapped his arms around his sister’s shoulders, and stood by the window

looking out with her.

“Did he leave?”

“Sorry, Cassius, I disturbed your rest.”

Evadne shyly lowered her long eyelashes and leaned on Cassius’s shoulder, “Just now, Thaddeus

came to tell me that he’s found Caroline for me.”

“Oh? Just like that?”

“Just like that.”

They fell into silence.

After a while, Cassius gently squeezed Evadne’s shoulder and asked with a smile, “If, Thaddeus fell in

love with you.”

“Cassius!” Evadne frowned, her tone reproachful.

Tm just saying hypothetically. If Thaddeus fell in love with you, willing to give, dedicate, and sacrifice for

you, would you give him another chance?”

Cassius looked at her seriously. “After all, he’s the man you’ve devoted all your youth to love

“No.”

Evadne answered without hesitation, a trace of bitter pain slowly rising in her heart, “Cassius, by now, I

don’t care whether I forgive him or not. I’m scared. I’ve been wavering between disappointment and

expectation for too long. I’ve had enough of the bitterness of love. I don’t want to be flustered over a

man’s emotions anymore. I don’t want to wait for him until I can’t sleep. I don’t want to make a table of

delicious food and not get a compliment from him. Cassius, I’m really tired. I don’t want to repeat those

days anymore.”

“You’re right, Thaddeus has po right to regret how he treated you.”

Cassius held his sister’s cold hand tightly, sighing sadly, “He’s not good enough for you. If he regrets,

he should regret it for a lifetime.”
