His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chatper 399

Chapter 399

Thaddeus didn’t delve deep into this, his mind was preoccupied with her smoke allergy, he was both guilty and upset.

“I’ll call Gordon to deliver. Or maybe he can cook it himself. His culinary skills may not match Mr. Jason’s, but it’s decent enough.”

Thaddeus noticed Evadne was barefoot, her pale and tender feet exposed without shoes. With a frown, he easily lifted her by her slim waist.

“What are you doing?” Evadne grabbed onto his broad shoulders in panic.

“How can you be so careless? The tiles are cold, you shouldn’t be barefoot.”

Thaddeus gently sat Evadne on the table, knelt before her, and warmed her feet in his hands.

So warm, all the warmth she knew well.

Evadne closed her eyes in comfort, not daring to be too obvious.

“Alva once told me that a woman’s feet are important. You mustn’t catch a chill, or it will bring illness in later years.”

Thaddeus looked at her with a mix of concern and reproach. “Don’t do this again.”

“But I was in a hurry!” Evadne felt chastised and retorted.

Thaddeus raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile on his lips. “In a hurry? Afraid I’ll run off?”

Evadne’s cheeks reddened, her toes curling in his palm.

“You were unconscious. How could I leave you behind? I won’t go.”

How could he bear to leave?

He wanted to stay by her side every night, to reside in her heart.

Thaddeus gently caressed her slim legs, slowly stood up, held her waist, and kissed her forehead.

But that could never satisfy him. When it came to her, he was never satiated.

The temperature of Evadne’s skin was rising, her cheeks flushed with bashfulness.

Despite everything they had done, she was still shy when he approached her..

Just as Thaddeus‘ lips were about to touch her soft skin, the doorbell rang.

He didn’t want to answer it, yet it kept ringing!

Buzzkill!

“S

Embarrassed, Evadne pushed Thaddeus away. “What’s going on? Who could be ringing the doorbell? Only my brothers know this place, and they all have the passcode.”

“It’s Gordon.”

Thaddeus was getting a headache recalling his clueless secretary. “I told him to come here if there’s news.”

“What news?”

“News about Elspeth and the murderer.”

Evadne’s eyes brightened, she couldn’t wait to jump off the table.

The next second, she was in the air, lifted by Thaddeus!
