His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 397

Every single event that unfolded tonight had been a whirlwind of shock and confusion.

Even for Aaron, a seasoned detective, it was a lot to process. He initially intended to send Thaddeus home to rest, but the man was stubborn and insisted on cooperating with the investigation as much as he could.

His current situation was dire.

Windermere Estate, a place that currently bore the unbearable weight of his sorrow and anger, was no longer an option for him to reside in.

But if he went to his grandfather’s place, he was afraid that he would lose control of his emotions and cause unnecessary worry for the old man.

Thaddeus stood in a daze at the police station’s entrance, a bitter smile tugged at his lips.

The CEO of the Abernathy Group, a man with a net worth of billions, stood there like a lost soul, a man without a home.

It was pathetic, laughable, and deeply tragic.

“You can stay at my place tonight,” Evadne suddenly offered softly, her words causing Thaddeus to stare at her in disbelief.

He even thought he might be hallucinating, a result of the overwhelming grief he was experiencing.

Even in his wildest dreams, he wouldn’t dare to imagine such an offer.

“I can handle a few nights in a hotel.”

“Don’t overthink it.” Evadne said, her long lashes fluttering slightly, “You can’t go back to Windermere Estate, and you don’t want to worry your grandpa. I won’t feel at ease knowing you’re alone in a hotel. I’m afraid you might do something rash. If something happened to you, it would make my revenge much harder and the battle much longer. I simply don’t like the feeling of fighting alone.”

Thaddeus‘ eyebrows furrowed, his eyes still red–rimmed and moist, like obsidian stones dewed with morning rain.

The feeling of fighting alone.

He understood her. He understood how it felt to give your all and receive nothing in return.

When she was young, she pursued him passionately, but he was oblivious to her existence.

Three years ago, she married him, but he never responded to her fervent love, not even once.

Turning his face away, Thaddeus fought to keep his emotions in check. He had already lost control of them once in the interrogation room. He didn’t want to appear weak in front of the woman he loved.

“Whether you agree or not, I have to keep an eye on you tonight. If you decide to stay in a hotel, I’ll stay with you. If you decide to sleep under a bridge, I’ll sleep there too,” Evadne said with a stubbornness that Thaddeus couldn’t compete with.

Thaddeus‘ pale face flushed slightly at her words, his heart pounding.

Although he didn’t want to blow his own trumpet, her words did give him a sense of companionship.

“Then I’ll have to bother you for tonight,” the man’s voice was husky.

“Enough, you’ve done to me everything that was over the line. Don’t be so formal. Let’s go.” Evadne’s heart also strangely quickened. As if afraid that Thaddeus might hear it, she quickly walked ahead.

Thaddeus swallowed hard, a small smile playing on his lips as he obediently followed her.

After Jason’s injury, Evadne’s villa was empty. Walking in, one couldn’t help but feel a chill.

As Thaddeus stepped inside, he found himself, who had never paid much attention to anything beyond necessity, looking around curiously as store. Every corner that bore Evadne’s traces caught his eye.

This was the first time he had been inside Evadne’s home. He used to stand outside in the rain, feeling insignificant.
