Chapter 398

The slap was not as harsh as the ones before. This time, Thaddeus could almost mistake it for a caress, making the corners of his lips twitch into a rare, playful smirk.

“Did that jerk just smirk?” Evadne muttered to herself, a flush of annoyance spreading across her face. “He’s becoming more and more audacious.” “What are you doing taking off.my clothes?” Evadne crossed her arms defensively, cheeks burning with embarrassment.

Thaddeus looked at her with tender eyes, “I’m treating your wounds.”

What a righteous excuse.

“You could’ve waited outside for me to change or you could’ve cut my sleeve off with scissors! Do you really need to take off my clothes?”

Evadne’s eyes flashed with anger as she glared at him. “You are really shameless, acting like a playboy!”

“Evadne, we were married. We were intimate together during our marriage and after our divorce too.”

Evadne bit her lip, her breath hitched at the reminder of the nights they had spent together.

Thaddeus‘ raspy voice and his lust–filled gaze were clear signs of his struggle. “I’ve seen everything of you, even the parts others couldn’t. Would it not be pretentious to act otherwise?”

He didn’t wait for her response. Instead, he moved closer, causing her to flinch in surprise. He gently but firmly stripped away her clothes, revealing her flushed skin to his hungry gaze.

“Evadne, relax. Let me take care of your wounds, okay?” His voice was gentle, soothing. He was so tender that it made her heart race.

Thaddeus‘ gaze roamed over her exposed body, his breath hitched, and his eyes darkened with desire. His hands were shaking as he treated her wounds, wrapped her up in bandages, and admired the sight of her….

“Thank you.” Evadne started, but Thaddeus cut her off, moving to trap her beneath him.

“Evadne, you can thank me in another way.”

Without waiting for her response, he pressed his lips against hers in a passionate kiss, like a man who had been wandering in the desert and had finally found an oasis.
