His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 411

Jareth was stunned; his mouth slightly open, it took him a while to close it.

“Thad, have you ever noticed that you tend to be a masochist? You’re totally cut out for being henpecked. At this rate, you’ll need to hand over all your credit cards, and I may have to foot the bill every time we go out.”

“Haven’t you been paying every time we go out anyway?” Thaddeus nonchalantly asked.

Indeed. Thad was a homebody, aside from work, working out, boxing, he had no interest in hobbies. From what Jareth could remember, he was always the one who took the initiative to hang out with Thaddeus, driving over to the Abernathy estate to pick him up, and rarely did Thaddeus ever plan anything. But Jareth enjoyed it with no complaints.

Even though he lost his dad at a young age, he knew he was loved in his household. On the other hand, Thaddeus seemed to have everything but also nothing.

So, he hoped to bring as much joy as possible to him. Even if most of it was fleeting, he hoped Thad wouldn’t live in constant gloom.

“Jareth, I actually enjoy being bossed around by Evadne.”

Thaddeus squinted his eyes slightly, a gentle smile on his thin lips, “It shows that Evadne cares about me, thinks about me. I wish she would just handcuff us together 24/7, so I can be with her all the time. For Evadne, I’m willing to sacrifice my freedom.”

“Hold up, man, you’re making it sound like you’re a freak!” Jareth rubbed his arm, breaking out in goosebumps.

“You’re naturally rebellious. You can’t understand how I feel.”

Thaddeus‘ smile deepened, teasing Jareth, “You’re lucky you chose my sister, Marilla. She’s gentle and timid. She wouldn’t dare to boss you around, let alone want to. What other woman would put up with you?”

“Hey! The fact is, the number of women who like me is comparable to the crops in the field. There are countless!” Jareth grumbled.

“Oh, so you’re proud?” Thaddeus gave him a cold, stern look.

Jareth gasped, quickly resigning himself to it, “No, no, I wouldn’t dare.”

“Let me remind you, if you ever cheat on Marilla or mistreat her, I and Evadne won’t let it slide.”

Jareth quickly raised his hand, “I swear to God! I will love Marilla forever. She’ll be the only one for me, and I’ll only love her. Or else, may lightning strike me, the Fairhaven Group go broke, and I end up begging!”

Seeing Thaddeus silent, he quickly added, “I’ll even get a vasectomy!”

Finally, Thaddeus spoke, “Alright, I’ll ask Evadne. She knows a lot of doctors.”

Jareth pouted; he almost cried, while Thaddeus tried to hide his smirk.

The two stood silently for a moment. When he saw Thaddeus‘ gloomy expression fade, Jareth couldn’t help but ask, “What’s up with your dad? Why does he suddenly want to go see Cynthia?”

“I don’t know. Who knows what got into him, what weird impulse he’s having.”

Thaddeus clenched his jaw, anger bubbling up from within, “Twenty years, he’s never mentioned my mom, as if she never existed in his life. And now, suddenly remembering her, talking about debts, such belated affection is worse than indifference!”

Jareth paused, and jested while holding a cigarette, “Even though you are much more outstanding than your dad, a real man with responsibility, belated affection is worse than indifference. Well, like father like son.”

Thaddeus‘ face turned dark in an instant. What a true friend, always knowing where to stick the knife!

“Yes, I know I’ve made a huge mistake; and I’ve failed a good woman. So until now, I’m making up to Evadne. I’m willing to give everything for her, even my
