His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 260

The man’s palm gripped her lifeless pinky, enveloping it with a tenderness and warmth that she had never experienced before.

She felt as if her numb nerves were being revived.

Evadne closed her eyes in peace, leaning against his broad back, her icy hands gradually warmed up under his palm, comfortably shrinking into it.

Thaddeus‘ heart fluttered. He was fearing that she would be repulsed and withdraw, so he gripped her even tighter.

“Behave, don’t move around.” The man’s voice held a stern tone, the pain from the impact wound on his back intensifying.

But he hid it well, not wanting her to worry.

Even if it was just once.

He hoped that he could gain her trust, become her reliance.

“Uhm, it’s so cold, hurry up then.” Evadne muttered in a daze.

“Just hang in there a little longer. We’ll find someplace to take shelter soon.” Thaddeus‘ heavy breath fogged up his vision, each step he took was extremely difficult. “And if we can’t find any,” Evadne was completely out of energy, her voice soft and weak.

“Then, shelter in my arms.” Thaddeus blurted out, his eyes full of emotions.

“No! No way! I won’t let you take advantage of me!” Evadne’s heart missed a beat, her long eyelashes fluttering in panic. Thaddeus just smirked. Carrying this restless woman on his back, he felt an unexpected surge of energy, his heart warm. Best to not provoke her and focus on getting to safety, after all, she couldn’t escape from him.

They clung to each other, their breaths merging, their heartbeats in sync.

It felt like they were back to that heart–stopping moment thirteen years ago.

Only, the girl on his back had grown up.

Even, she had once been his wife for three long years.

On the other side.

Jason was worried about Evadne and braved the rain to rush to the campsite.

By the time he reached the camp, his umbrella was battered by the storm, his usually impeccable suit was soaked through, his clean shoes and pant legs covered in mud. “Miss Evadne!”

Just as Jason was about to enter, he bumped into Professor Leo and Gordon, both dressed in raincoats.

“It’s that suck–up secretary!” Gordon almost blurted out, but swallowed his words.
