His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 429

“Jareth, I appreciate your continued concern for me, a smile of approval gracing Frederic’s lips.

“Not just me, Marilla and Thad are thinking about you too,” Jareth’s eyes curved into crescents, his words sweet enough to induce a toothache. This was not just about impressing his future father–in–law, but also about earning some brownie points for his best friend.

“I haven’t seen Marilla in a while. You two follow me to the study, let’s sit and catch up. As Frederic spoke, a tender smile danced on his face as he beckoned Marilla over, “Come Marilla, come to your dad”

As Marilla grew older, her interactions with her father lessened. But in her memories, her father was always the one who doted on her the most.

“Daddy” Her eyes bright as a doe’s, she released Jareth’s hand and walked towards Frederic.

For some unknown reason, Jareth’s eyes reddened and a sour feeling rose in him at the sight. He knew, no matter how good he was to Marilla, no matter how much he loved her, he could never replace her family in her heart.

Perhaps in this world, many people could live without love, but none could bear the pain of losing their family, of being tom away from their flesh and blood.

As Marilla approached, Frederic smilingly opened his arms, enveloping her petite frame. His large, gentle hand caressed her silky raven hair as he held his long–absent daughter close to his heart.

She pressed her small face into her father’s chest, and for some reason, her heart fluttered, and a bitter emotion welled up. Tear drops trickled down, dampening Frederic’s neat shirt.

At that moment, Glynnis‘ rage finally hit its peak, and she was on the verge of tears. As Frederic’s first–born, she was always the apple of the Abernathy family’s eye. She was proud of her intelligence and beauty, and from a young age, her competitive nature had always made her the center of her parents‘ attention, overshadowing Manilla’s existence. But now, Hamilton, Elspeth, then Jareth. Marilla was slowly taking away everything that used to be hers!

Even Frederic’s affection was stolen by her!

She was filled with rage, unbearable rage!

On the other side.

Elspeth, who was confined to the house, had been terrified by the news about Ward and the online comments. She was in a state of panic, not knowing what to do.

Frantically, she found the medication Victor had left her gave herself two shots, and her convulsing nerves finally calmed down, allowing her to think a bit.
