His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 288

Evadne had just administered Thaddeus’s medication when Mr. Murray stepped in.

“How are you holding up, Thaddeus?”

“Better, thanks to Evadne.” Thaddeus said, his gaze tenderly falling on Evadne.

Evadne subtly shifted away from him.

Thaddeus was usually as emotionally unavailable as a seasoned monk, but now he was all charm and flirtation, seizing any opportunity to send her electrifying glances.

It was as if he was an old frying pan, she a fresh egg, and he was dousing her in oil.

“Evadne, I can’t thank you enough.”

Mr. Murray was about to bow in gratitude, but Evadne swiftly stepped in front of him, gently stopping him.

“Mr. Murray, you’re too kind. It’s my duty.”

“Evadne, you’re still so good to Mr. Thaddeus.” Mr. Murray wasn’t usually one to meddle, but now he couldn’t help but play matchmaker.

“Don’t get the wrong idea. My loyalty to Thaddeus is because he’s important to his grandpa.”

Evadne smiled, “Everything I do is for Grandpa.”

Mr. Murray could only smile awkwardly.

Thaddeus, on the other hand, looked completely besotted, grinning with sheer delight.

He knew her sharp tongue all too well, but he also knew that her body or her lips, one of them was always truthful to him.

“Thaddeus, if you’re feeling up to it, please head to the study. Frederic has something to discuss with you.”

Thaddeus nodded slightly, “Alright.

Then he turned to Evadne, his voice a soft whisper, “Wait for me. I’ll be back soon.”

“Humph, who says I’m waiting for you? I’m leaving now, goodbye!”

Evadne brushed past him, her chin slightly raised in defiance.

There was an urge to reach out and grab her hand, to make her stay. But all he could do was watch her leave the room, his lips pursed together in silent desperation. Seeing Thaddeus’s desolation, Mr. Murray felt a mix of joy and regret.

“Do I look silly to you, Mr. Murray?” Thaddeus asked, his voice laced with self–deprecation.

Mr. Murray responded with a comforting smile, “Not at all, Thaddeus. I should congratulate you for finally seeing your true feelings. Both of you are single now, and there’s still a chance. I hope you can love her the way she once loved you. She’s a good girl, Thaddeus. Don’t disappoint her again.”

Then Mr. Murray’bowed deeply to Thaddeus.

Thaddeus felt a lump in his throat, his lips trembling slightly as he forced back his tears, “Mr. Murray, do you think there’s still a chance for me to win Evadne back?” Mr. Murray paused for a moment, then responded, “The road ahead may be tough, Thaddeus, but no matter what, don’t give up on Evadne.”
