Chapter 460
Seeing Evadne’s disinterest, Thaddeus suddenly realized that his previous words were indeed too crude, too ungentlemanly.
His woman, both in the past and now, had never lived a day of ease by his side. Although he couldn’t help himself at the moment, he, a man burdened by his own sins, hadn’t even given Evadne a proper proposal. How could he dare to dream of a marital life?
Not flipping out on him was already giving him more face than he deserved.
“Oh no, my soup!”
At that moment, the soup on the stove boiled over, and Evadne hastily scurried to clean up the mess.
Thaddeus saw the boiling pot, the steaming kettle, and the delicately arranged pastries, and suddenly felt a lump in his throat. A tear stealthily escaped the corner of his eye, but he quickly wiped it away.
He couldn’t bear to see Evadne laboring away. Without even changing his clothes, he rolled up his sleeves to clean the kitchen and set the table.
He had felt the urge to cry earlier, his emotions a tangled mess, filled with pity for her and shame for himself.
The missing three years could have been days of such bliss, yet he never cherished them. But thankfully, he had regained what was lost. From now on, he would hold tightly to this hard–won happiness.
“Hey, it’s been hot lately, and I made some lemon mint sorbet for dessert, try it.”
Evadne pinched a piece of the sweet and offered it to Thaddeus‘ lips. He leaned in, his lips parting slightly and she playfully withdrew, holding the sorbet between her lips and teasing him with a flutter of her eyelashes.
Thaddeus eyes reddened with desire, his hand trembling as he clasped the back of her neck and caught the other half of the sorbet with his mouth.
First, he savored the cool sweetness, then he sealed her lips with his own, swallowing her breathy moans and soft whimpers.
After a moment of deep kisses, Evadne was left languid, her silk gown damp and clinging to her willowy waist, revealing a shape that could haunt a man’s dreams.
Thaddeus gazed down, his eyes feasting on the sight, feeling a tightness in his gut as if it were about to burst.
“Sweet?” Evadne, her hand on his shoulder, traced her finger along his sticky lips.
“Yes. But not nearly a fraction as sweet as you,” Thaddeus’s eyes was heavy with passion as he sucked on her fingertip.
“You’re getting naughtier by the day, with that silver tongue of yours.”
A tingle shot through Evadne from her fingertip, and she shivered, her voice a playful scold, “Alright, let’s eat before it gets cold.” Thaddeus reluctantly let her go and sat down properly, picking up his fork, when Evadne’s cell phone rang. Seeing it was Aaron, her heart leaped and she quickly answered on speaker, “Aaron, what’s happening?”
“Evadne, I’ve got good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?” Aaron’s tone was mixed.
Evadne and Thaddeus exchanged a knowing look, “The good news first.”
“We’ve finally got enough to charge Elspeth. She can’t escape the drug use and possession charges. First–time offenders usually get sent to rehab, but Elspeth’s possession is enough for a sentence – three years minimum.”
Three years seemed light. But no matter, this was just the beginning. The real show was yet to come.
