Chapter 267

The silence inside the car was deafening.

Three men stared wide–eyed, even Jason, who was driving, almost lost grip of the steering wheel.

“Evadne, what did you just say?” Cassius, always steady and composed, seemed also taken aback.

“Thaddeus says he regrets divorcing me. He wants me to give him another chance. This time he will court me.”

Evadne lifted her delicate face, her clear almond eyes gazing at Cassius, “Casslus, what does he mean by this? Is he confessing his feelings?”

Bennett and Jason both blurted, “No brainer!”

Immediately afterward, they chimed in again in unison, like two heads on the same neck, “Pff! What nerve!”

Cassius blinked, his brows knitting slightly.

“Cassius, can you believe it? The man who once tore our future apart now wants to court me, promising vows as if they were really true.” Evadne curled her lips into a forced smile. In the past, she would have wept for joy.

But now, her feelings were more of confusion.

Suddenly, it was like a desired doll from her childhood that she never received. As she grew up, even if she received a better, more expensive one, she couldn’t love it anymore. Moreover, why would Thaddeus court her?

She once treated him so well, but he never appreciated it.

Now she opposed him at every turn, repeatedly humiliating him, why would he?

“Late love is worse than weeds. Thaddeus’s confession is nothing but a pile of stinking crap!” Bennett gritted his teeth in hatred.

“Exactly, what was he thinking before?” Jason gripped the steering wheel tighter, echoing softly.

“Evadne, when you married him, you gave him everything. Have you forgotten the pain once the wounds healed? Now he sees you transformed into a billionaire’s daughter, adored by everyone, and you are at the peak of your life, stunningly beautiful. He’s upset, he feels regret. He thinks he was blind before, so he wants to win you back to fulfill his disgusting vanity!” Bennett’s handsome face turned livid as he bitterly accused the unfaithful Thaddeus.

“I wouldn’t say it’s vanity.”

Evadne rolled her eyes, “But you’re right Bennett, he probably finds me more attractive now, more interesting. After all, it was only after I reclaimed my Ashbourne family status that he started looking at me differently.”

“Huh, men are all vulgar creatures seeking novelty and thrill.”

Jason couldn’t hold back his anger, “He got tired of the pure and innocent Acacia, now he likes your style and your personality. He just changed his taste. Before he liked eating dirt, now he likes durian. Today he says he wants to court you, tomorrow he could be courting someone else.”

Bennett agreed, “Once unfaithful, always unfaithful!“.

Evadne raised an eyebrow, “I know the dirt represents Acacia. But who’s the durian? Explain that to me.”

Jason coughed awkwardly, “Miss Evadne, I was just making a comparison.”

“There’s nothing wrong with durian. It’s quite cute, the king of fruits, suits our Evadne’s character.” Cassius casually put in.

“But durians are spiky and stinky!”

“But the inside is soft, and it tastes sweet and fragrant.”

Cassius grinned, his fingertip brushing her nose, “It’s quite similar to our Evadne.”

“Humph!” Evadne turned her face away, pretending to be angry. It was a cute gesture.
