Chapter 403

For several days, despite no further physical intimacy, the passionate sentiments that made Evadne blush and heart pound could be felt in every corner

of the mansion.

Alva cooked their meals three times a day. Evadne, unwilling to let her shoulder the burden alone, insisted on helping. However, she was stopped by both Alva and Thaddeus.

“You’re allergic to smoke, Evadne. Stay out of the kitchen. I’ll help Alva. You can just wait for the meal, Thaddeus said. He stood behind her, his hands intertwined around her waist, his chin resting on her shoulder, he could not resist stealing a kiss on her flushed earlobe.

In front of Alva, Evadne blushed like a ripe peach, squirming in his embrace, “Don’t act all macho, Thaddeus. You’re a pampered rich boy. What can you do?”

“I can learn,” Thaddeus replied, a mischievous smile spread across his face. He whispered in her ear, “I’m a quick learner, Evadne. The other night. Well, you know exactly how well I performed.”

You, stop it! If you keep making such remarks, I’ll step on your foot!” Evadne’s face turned beet red, with nowhere to hide, she found herself fully enveloped by Thaddeus.

Alva watched with a warm smile, her heart filled with satisfaction as if watching her own son and daughter–in–law share a sweet moment.

In just a few days, Evadne and Thaddeus‘ relationship had rapidly warmed up.

They would say good morning and good night to each other. They would do house chores together, and even go grocery shopping at the nearby supermarket.

To avoid unnecessary attention, they would wear hats and masks as they went out. After all, if the CEO of the Abernathy Group and the heiress of the Ashbourne family were caught having private meetings like ordinary citizens, the shockwaves sending through the tabloid world would be no less than two A–list movie stars announcing their marriage.

Moreover, there would be significant ripples in the business world, with the potential to greatly impact the stock prices and projects of both families.

These days, Thaddeus had been wearing comfortable business casual clothes instead of his usually restrictive three–piece suit. However, even in more casual attire, he still stood out in a crowd, shining brightly.

Today, the couple was at the supermarket buying groceries. It was a large warehouse–style supermarket, and as it was not the weekend, there were fewer people around.

Evadne had cooked for Thaddeus for three years and knew his tastes well. She carefully selected foods that catered to his preferences.

Despite her sharp tongue, her actions gave away her feelings for him.

Thaddeus felt that this was the happiest, most enjoyable, and most content period of his life in thirty years.

He should have enjoyed this kind of happiness three years ago when he had the right to be happy.

He silently followed behind Evadne, watching her compare products on the shelves when she was checking ingredients and expiration dates. Her meticulous and serious demeanor showed no signs of being a spoiled rich girl. She was a well–rounded and considerate wife.

His wife.

She might not be his wife now, but she would be in the future.

Suddenly, a mother walked past them, pushing a shopping cart with a four or five–year–old boy sitting in it. Mother and son were laughing and chatting happily.

“Evadne, Evadne.” Thaddeus called her, his eyes sparkling.

“What is it?” Evadne asked lazily, glancing at him.

Thaddeus pointed at the shopping cart, “Get in. I’ll push you.”

Evaddeus was shocked.

“You’ve been walking for a while. It’ll be easier for you. Just point out what you want, and I’ll pick it up for you.”

“No way, that’s so childish!” Evadne quickly took a step back, full of resistance.

“Come on. Don’t worry about me. I won’t get tired.”

Thaddeus was growing more confident and assertive, becoming more in line with the CEO persona.

“I’m not worried about you! I just think it’s embarrassing. Look around, do you see anyone over ten years old sitting in a cart?”

Evadne gave him a disdainful look, turned on her heel, and walked away, ignoring him..

As soon as she turned around, her cheeks flushed bright red and her lips pursed together.

Thaddeus followed behind her obediently, silently sighing.
