His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 266

The normally defiant and rebellious Thaddeus was surprisingly docile, his movements as compliant as a filleted fish in a frying pan, flipping over at the slightest nudge.

Evadne raised an eyebrow at his compliance, her rosy lips pressed into a thin line.

His broad and muscular back was exposed to her, each sinew and muscle clearly visible.

The sight of a large bruise on his back caused her pupils to contract in shock. Despite her effort to maintain her composure, the sight caused a painful twinge in her heart. When Evadne fell silent, Thaddeus thought she was startled. He attempted to turn around, only to be firmly stopped by her.

“Hold still, let me take a look,” she ordered.

The doctor said it’ll fade with time,” Thaddeus replied in a low soothing voice, sounding more like he was comforting her than discussing his own injuries.

“Do I look like I cant see?” Evadne retorted, her tone sharp and cold.

Caught off guard by her retort, Thaddeus gave a sigh of exasperation. “I never realized how fiery you could be when we were together. You’ve sure got a bite, and you’re gutsy.”

“I used to pretend all the time. Pretending to please you,” Evadne replied. Her long lashes cast a shadow over her eyes as her fingers traced the scars on his back. Her voice was icy cold as she continued, “I thought if I was gentle and caring, you would eventually warm up to me. But when I saw your true colors, I backed off. I didn’t need to pretend anymore. Looking back, I was so foolish. I made a fool of myself for a man who would never love me. It wasn’t worth it.”

Thaddeus’s breath hitched, a bitter taste lingering on his tongue. He had been blind, obsessed with his own Insecurities.

“Evadne.”

“Turn around,” Evadne cut him off.

“The doctor already checked me.”

“I don’t trust anyone else, only myself. Turn around.” Evadne’s voice held a detached tone, her eyes filled with a stoic acceptance of life and death.

Thaddeus was a bit confused, but he did as she asked.

Their eyes locked as he turned.

Evadne’s heart skipped a beat at the sight of his chiseled abs. The man was a scoundrel, but his physique was undeniably attractive.

She steadied her heart and began to check his legs, arms, and abdomen.

Thaddeus watched her, his heart pounding as he saw the determination in her eyes.

At that moment, he desperately wanted to confirm something.
