His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 430

Though Marilla had been regarded as someone ‘silly‘ by Glynnis from a young age, she was anything but. At the mention of “living together; her lean shoulders twitched, and the sweet taste of her freshly squeezed orange juice turned bitter on her lips.

Jareth secretly held her small, cool hand, gripping it tightly, “Mr. Abernathy, I know I haven’t always been a saint in my personal life, but could you give me a chance to change, to start anew? Furthermore, I might have been a bit of a playboy, but I’ve never been crude. And I never brought any woman to my house before. Marilla is the first, and she will be the last.”

“Jareth, what I mean is,”

“I won’t beat around the bush. Now I can’t be without Marilla.

Jareth’s chest was filled with a profound love for her. He kissed Manilla’s hand passionately, his gaze filled with an affection that was utterly captivating. “If I can’t see her for a day. I fear I might go mad.”

deep, gentle voice echoed in Marilla’s ear, causing her heart to flutter like a feather was tickling it.

She felt the same way. She didn’t want to be without Jareth. If she couldn’t see him, she couldn’t eat or drink; if she couldn’t hold him, she couldn’t sleep.

ay these things

Frederic’s cheeks blushed red. He’d seen all sorts of people in his life, but he’d never met anyone as loose as this! To say in front of an elder, it was far too shameless!

“There is another reason why I don’t want Marilla to go back to Windermere Estate,” Jareth said, suddenly serious.

Frederic was taken aback, “What reason?”

Tm afraid Marilla might be bullied.”

“What kind of nonsense is that? Frederic’s brows furrowed, adding to his confusion, “Marilla is my precious gem. Windermere Estate is her home. Who would dare to bully her here?”

“Mr. Abernathy, you’re not often at home, so it’s understandable if you don’t know what’s happening in your own house. But you can’t assume that just because Marilla lives here, she is happy.”

Jareth didn’t explicitly mention that Glynnis bullied Marilla. After all, Glynnis was also Frederic’s daughter. If Jareth accused her without any regard, he would be dishonoring his future father–in-law, making it impossible for him to save face. More importantly, he felt capable of protecting Marilla himself.

Even if Frederic know everything, what could he do? He couldn’t even figure out what exactly his bestial wife had done, let alone confronting Glynnis.

Dennis stood by, his lips sealed, his gaze filled with intrigue as he watched Frederic.

Everyone in Windermere Estate knew that Glynnis had been suppressing and bullying Marilla for years. Even Elspeth, the woman who raised them, knew about it. Only Frederic, their biological father, was clueless!
