Chapter 379

Evadne’s heart tightened, and in her shock, the picture frame slipped from her grasp, shattering on the floor.

The shards of glass cut into her smooth ankle, the tiny wound seeping a few droplets of blood.

“Why are you here?”

A deep, magnetic voice echoed from behind her, piercing through her slender form.

Evadne didn’t turn around, her voice cold and distant, “Sorry to disturb you. I’ll be leaving soon.”

Thaddeus watched from behind as she moved, draped in his oversized shirt. In the soft lamplight, her petite figure appeared both alluring and vulnerable. It was a sight that tugged at his instinct to pull her into his arms and protect her.

His throat tightened, an unbearable dryness settling in.

Earlier, he had suddenly woken from a deep sleep, a cold sweat drenching his skin.

His immediate reaction was to reach for Evadne, only to find her side of the bed empty.

However, her clothes still lay strewed on the floor, even her high heels were there, indicating she was still somewhere in the villa. It was only then that his heart settled, and he quickly got out of bed to find her.

The passionate night they had spent together was still fresh in his mind. Each kiss, each intense moment had left a deep imprint on his heart.

But he had forgotten how he lost control. Had he gone too far?

Had he hurt her to the extent that she could barely resist?

A wave of guilt washed over him, and Thaddeus‘ dark eyes reddened slightly as he took a step towards her.

Just then, Evadne abruptly turned around and tried to walk past him.

Pupils contracted, Thaddeus acted swiftly, gripping her arm to prevent her from leaving.

“Don’t go.”

“You have no right to stop me.”

“We had sex.”

With his arm around her, Thaddeus pulled her closer.

His gaze was sharp and unyielding as he stared into her icy eyes. He uttered word by word, “Evadne, I said we had sex. Don’t you have anything to say about that?”

“No. I don’t.”
