Chapter 351

Evadne hadn’t expected Thaddeus to carry her back to the room where she had lived alone for three years.

“What!”

Thaddeus had intended to set her gently on the bed, but the petite woman in his arms was as restless as a feisty kitten. She squirmed, his grip slipped, and she landed face–first on the bed.

Fortunately, Evadne’s face was still in one piece, otherwise her nose would’ve been a goner.

“It’s your own fault for wriggling. I didn’t intend to drop you.” Thaddeus looked down at her, a smirk threatening to break through at her current predicament. “Men are always finding excuses for themselves!”

Evadne muttered angrily, attempting to get up from the bed. However, Thaddeus was quick to grab her ankle, leaning over her and trapping her beneath him. “Let go of my foot! Are you some kind of pervert?” Evadne curled her legs, nearly flashing her undergarments. It was beyond mortifying!

Despite her struggles, Evadne’s efforts were futile against Thaddeus. It was like trying to beat an Olympic athlete with playground games.

His grip tightened on her ankle as his gaze traveled from her flushed face, down to her cherry lips, her slender neck, and finally her alluring collarbone.

His breath hitched, his blood heated, and his heart pounded erratically.

Suddenly, a sharp pang of pain shot through Thaddeus‘ head. He clenched his eyes shut, pressing his palms against his temples to ward off the sudden wave of discomfort. “Thaddeus, it hurts. It hurts so much. Thaddeus.”

“Be patient, the pain will slowly subside.”

“I’ll be as gentle as I can with you, I promise.”

Fragments of memories he had never seen before filled his mind, accompanied by sensual moans that made his face flush.

It was as if he had shared an intimate night with a woman in this very room.

But that was impossible. He had never been with any woman before.

Seeing Thaddeus distracted, Evadne took the opportunity to kick him in the stomach.

“Get off me!”

Although she didn’t use much force, Thaddeus stumbled backwards, barely catching himself against the wall.

Evadne’s eyes widened as she noticed his face turn pale and a thin layer of sweat forming on his forehead.

Just as she was about to say something. Thaddeus asked in a hoarse voice, “Why are you really here to see Elspeth?”

That’s none of your business.” Evadne’s gaze turned icy cold.

Thaddeus felt as if her gaze had pierced his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, “If you’re here to settle scores with Elspeth about Myra, I suggest you pick another day. Tonight is not the time.”

“Why isn’t it the time?”
