His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 464

“Hey? Emeric, where’s Evadne? Jeff craned his neck, peering outside with persistent curiosity.

wy put and recover, Emeric replied with a nonchalant shrug.

“Emeric, you’re being unfair, man. You promised to bring Evadne over this time, Besides, we’re practically family now, not just guests!” Jeff rambled on though confusion gnawed at him inside.

Emeric settled into his seat, “If you really care about Evadne, you should let her heal properly. No need to drag her around.”

It was just before that horse race that he’d met with Emeric in private.

They had hit it off, and Emeric seemed quite taken with his son, assuring him that he would support the union between Evadne and Avery, welcoming Evadine into the Chambers family as a daughter–in–law.

He had also pondered Byron’s marriage prospects, his beloved second son, second only to his eldest in his affections.

Usually, Evadine’s stunning beauty and presence overshadowed Nydia

But now, it was clear that both sisters were beauties in their own right, reminiscent of the classic novel’s contrasting heroines, like the fair and virtuous Amy and the fiery and passionate Jo.

Byron, having spent too much time in the hospital and away from female company aside from nurses couldn’t take his eyes off Nydia,

Avery, reading his less–than–pure thoughts with a glance, couldn’t help but suppress a cold, mocking smile.

The feast was served, and Emeric barely touched his food, seemingly without an appetite,
