hapter 166

The moon was as cold as ice, with no trace of stars in the sky.

The Maybach came to a halt at Windermere Estate, and Thaddeus stepped out alone, telling the driver, “You can head back. I’ll go in by myself. You don’t

need to follow me.”

“But Mr. Thaddeus, there was thunder rumbling in the sky just now. Looks like it’s gonna rain,” said Gordon with concern. “There’s a bit of a distance from the gate to the villa. I should take you there.”

“No need,” Thaddeus replied indifferently.

His eyes were filled with melancholy, his fingers slightly adjusting his Windsor knot, “I’m feeling a bit suffocated and want to take a walk alone. Go ahead.” “Understood, Mr. Thaddeus, Gordon replied obediently.

He watched Thaddeus anxiously through the car window, like a loyal dog, until the car disappeared into the night.

Thaddeus let out a deep sigh and turned toward the mansion.

However, as soon as he started walking, the rain began to fall.

By the time Thaddeus entered the villa, he was completely soaked by the rain.

The harsh autumn wind and rain lashed at him, the cold rain hitting his face emphasized the pain in his heart.

“Oh my God! Mr. Thaddeus! How did you get so wet? Where’s the driver? Where’s Mr. Gordon?” Alva ran over to him in panic.

His face was pale, his wet hair covering his eyes that were twinkling like stars. His lips were trembling slightly, water dripping from his arms.

He looked like a beautiful sea god who had just emerged from the deep ocean.

“Alva.” His voice was husky because of the lump in his throat, “Is there any wine? I need a drink.”

“You’re soaked and you still want to drink? Have you lost your mind? I’ll go make you some soup. Go upstairs, change your clothes and take a hot bath. Hurry up!”

Alva said sympathetically, turning to leave, but Thaddeus stopped her.

“I just want to drink. Let me.”

“Mr. Thaddeus, what’s wrong?” Alva sensed something was off.

Thaddeus couldn’t hold back anymore, his eyes turning red, “I ran into Evadne tonight.”

“Mrs. Abernathy! You ran into Mrs. Abernathy!”
