Chapter 364

Evadne was finally taken home by Avery, thanks to Jeff’s arrangement.

Thaddeus was pushing Hamilton’s wheelchair towards the parking lot, with Edith trailing behind him like a pesky little shadow.

“When are you going to stop following me?” Thaddeus suddenly halted, asking without looking back

Caught off guard, Edith narrowly avoided crashing into him, stumbling awkwardly.

” want to help you take Grandpa Hamilton home, Thad.” she said with a pitiful expression, “He just got discharged from the hospital. I’m sure he’ll need

help”

“Help? What can you do?” Thaddeus retorted without hesitation

Tve watched you grow up. I’ve seen how Mrs. Fairhaven and your brother have protected you. You’ve never even gotten your hands dirty. What could you possibly do? Thaddeus scoffed coldly, not giving her any grace.

“Thad”

“You know who Grandpa Hamilton needs. “He interrupted, his eyes softening as he thought of Evadne, “Go back and do your duty on Mr. Fairhaven.”

With that, he wheeled Hamilton away, leaving Edith behind, flustered and disheveled

On the way home, their driver took the wheel. Mr. Murray sat shotgun, and Thaddeus and Hamilton were in the back

The car was warm, but Hamilton’s frosty expression made it feel like they were in an icebox.

Thaddeus knew he was angry.

But the fact was, he and Evadne were divorced. Their irreconcilable differences were a fact too.

Thaddeus had pursued her relentlessly, even risking his life, but it hadn’t been enough to earn her trust.

He wasn’t afraid of giving her love unilaterally, but what scared him most was that she had never trusted him.

Finally arriving at Havenbrook, Thaddeus got out of the car to assist Mr. Murray with the wheelchair, intending to help Hamilton into it

I’m not sitting in that damn thing. I’m not disabled. Why should I use a wheelchair? Hamilton grumbled, shoving Thaddeus aside. He instructed Mr. Murray, “Mr. Murray, bring me my cane.”

In no time, Mr Murray had fetched the cane.

Hamilton took the cane, his white lips tightly pressed. Without a word, Hamilton swung the cane at Thaddeus‘ back.

With a thud. Thaddeus felt an intense pain on his back, his brows furrowed.
