His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

The

hallway suddenly fell

an eene silence.

Thaddeus watched as Avery cradled Evadne, her frail form nestled against him like a bird seeking refuge, a sight that sank a dagger into his heart and

unexpected sting to his eyes

In his absence, they seemed to have grown remarkably close

The more Thaddeus thought about it, the more bitterness seeped into his heart. He lowered his gaze, refusing to look at Evadne. The blue veins on his hands, gripping the armrest of his grandfather’s wheelchair, stood out starkly

Evadne, you just completed a highly demanding surgery You’re drained and you need to rest immediately”

Avery was aware that the Abernathy family were right there, but he didn’t flinch. All his attention was on Evadne, his gaze soft and tender. Ill take you

“Grandpa Hamilton”

However. Evadne ignored Avery’s tender advances, her concern solely for Hamilton. She moved to kneel in front of him, taking his weathered hands into her own, “Grandpa Hamilton, why are you in the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?”

Thaddeus pressed his lips together, a bitter taste spreading across his tongue

She was acting as it be, a grown man, was invisible, selectively turning a blind eye.

Apparently only Avery existed in her world now

““Kid, I’m fine. „Just an old health issue acting up, a discomfort in my heart. Thaddeus insisted we come in for a check.” Hamilton still wore a fond expression when he looked at Evadne

“Grandpa Hamilton, you must not be negligent. You need to listen to me and get regular check–ups,” Evadne said, her concern evident.

“Tana, is this gentleman?” Hamilton’s gaze traveled to Avery with a speculative look.

“Mr Abernathy, my name is Avery Chambers” Avery stepped forward, bowing politely.

“Oh, I remember now, from Myra’s birthday party. Mr. Chambers youngest son.” Hamilton complimented, “A fine young man.”

Despite his words, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of discomfort at the sight of Avery and Evadne’s closeness

The atmosphere between the former couple was exceptionally tense, even more awkward than when they had first divorced.

What was he to do?

Just as Hamilton was about to pull Evadne aside for a heart–to–heart, a shrill voice broke the silence.

Grandpa Hamilton, how are you feeling?”

Evadne looked up coldly to see Edith, clad in her nightgown, rushing towards them. Two bodyguards trailed behind her, careful not to get too close Upon seeing Edith, Hamilton’s lips pressed into a thin line as he shot Thaddeus an accusing glance.

Thaddeus expression hardened, his gaze icy as it landed on Edith, “What are you doing here?”

Ediths delicate face was flushed, her curly hair a little disheveled. Her nightgown and slippers clearly indicated her haste and concern for Hamilton’s

“You must be Jareth’s sister, right?” Hamilton asked, an ambiguous feeling exuding from his eyes.

“Yes, I’m Edith “Edith’s hands nervously intertwined, her cheeks turning a deeper shade of red.

Knowing this was her first formal meeting with Hamilton, and that she would soon be a part of the Abernathy family, her current attire felt inappropriate
