His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 319

Thaddeus, hand in hand with Evadne, hustled down the grand, deserted corridor.

They were like two young nobles, disregarding societal constraints, breaking norms and conventions, embarking on a heart–stopping elopement.

Evadne, mesmerized by the man’s broad and handsome back, felt a sense of security. Her heart palpitated, her palms began to

sweat.

In this moment, she had to admit that she was a little smitten.

Meanwhile, she also resented herself for having fallen for him thirteen years ago, three years ago, and even now, for feeling something for him just because he held her hand.

Such a nuisance! He got off too easily!

Thaddeus, feeling pleased, led her swiftly down the corridor, halting in front of a luxurious suite.

Flustered and embarrassed, Evadne blushed. She forcefully yanked her hand from his and snapped, “Thaddeus! What are you playing at? Do you dare to take advantage of my good nature? Do you want me to call my brothers and have you torn apart?” Thaddeus paused, chuckling at her misunderstanding, “Where is your mind wandering off to, Evadne? I’ve simply stored your gift in here.”

Evadne blinked, her lips pursed tightly like a rose petal, her cheeks reddened slightly.

“Even if all your brothers came for me, I could handle them. But I prefer to leave a good impression, so I’ll behave.”

Suddenly, Thaddeus leaned towards her, his eyes darkened, a hint of tease and restrain in his gaze, “Even if I were to misbehave, I would only take you home.”

“I’d rather die than return to your home!” Evadne blushed even more, turning her head away, refusing to look at him.

“Windermere Estate was never my home, Evadne. I don’t have a home Thaddeus‘ voice softened, a glint of sadness in his eyes.

Evadne felt a pang in her heart.

“In the future, only with you, will I have a home. If not, I’d rather be a wanderer. Thaddeus‘ voice choked a little, thousands of bitter emotions welled up in his chest.

Evadne slowly met his earnest gaze.

Slowly, like a patient who had been suffering from a long illness, tired and numb from the pain.

With just one look, Thaddeus‘ heart ached, full of regret.

He had been too hasty, too hasty. Even if he felt this way, he shouldn’t have said it.

“You were in the military once, right? A peacekeeping soldier.” Evadne suddenly asked.

Thaddeus had a bad feeling, he opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by the prickly woman, “During those years, you indeed wandered, but you know very well for whom you were exiled. It certainly wasn’t for me.”

He couldn’t get past this.

He couldn’t.

Thaddeus panicked, his lips trembling, his throat dry, but he couldn’t utter a word.

Just then, there was a click.

The door opened, and both of them flinched.

But it greatly eased the awkwardness and embarrassment.

“Mr. Thaddeus! Mrs. Abernathy! It’s you!”

Gordon stood at the door, grinning, “I heard voices, saw you two standing outside for a while and decided to take a peek.”

Evadne and Thaddeus were speechless.

“Erm. Did I, did I disturb you?” Gordon noticed the tense atmosphere, and broke out in a cold sweat.

“No.”
