Chapter 467

Evadne didn’t even have time to hang up the phone, as she burst out of the long comidor like a bird breaking free from its cage and sprinted through the gates of Silverlake Harbor.

The night was deep and silent, save for a solitary lamplight.

A tall and handsome silhouette was bathed in a soft halo of light, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

The weather forecast had promised a downpour tonight, but Thaddeus didn’t care. After wrapping up his work at Elmsworth, he jumped in his drove non–stop, eager for a reunion with his beloved.

It had only been a day.

Yet, the yearning was unbearable,

Thaddeus!

Evadne pushed through the heavy front door, tears glistening in her eyes as she ran toward him

Thaddeus’s eyes, normally bright, narrowed into slits, and his thin lips lifted into a joyous, sweet smile.

He had opened his arms early, ready to embrace her, but she was already flying into his presence: He tightened his strong arms around her, holding her

close.

“I raced here as fast as I could. I was so afraid that if I arrived late, you’d be asleep and I’d miss seeing you

Thaddeus’s warm breath tickled her ear, his right arm encircling her slender waist, his left hand gently stroking her lean back, his voice deep and tender, “But it wouldn’t have mattered, I would’ve waited all night right here for you. Waiting until morning, thought would’ve been excruciating.

“Thaddeus.” Evadne sniffled, her eyes rimmed with red.

It was like finding her way to the sea or the safety of the woods.

It seemed there was no place in the world more comforting than the sanctuary of his embrace.

“Hmm? Evadne, are you crying?”

Thaddeus was taken aback, gently lifting her chin to meet her tear–stained gaze. The pain in his chest sharpened, his brow furrowing. “You’re actually crying? Who has upset you?”

Evadne’s fingers clutched at the fabric of his shirt, crinkling it in her distress.

Emeric’s cruel words suggested the marriage between her sister and the heir of the Chambers Group was to facilitate her own relationship with Thaddeus. Evadne’s eyes brimmed with more tears, and with a choked–up resentment, she asked, “Should we break up?”

-Thaddeus’s heart tightened, his lips trembling with alarm, “Evadne, what’s wrong? Why would you suddenly say that?”

Is it because we’re together that people keep getting hurt?”

As she spoke, Evadne felt a greater urge to dry. Always so strong in the face of others, she melted into vulnerability with the man she loved, “First, it was, my brother, and now it’s Nydia

Thaddeus, we’re not a perfect match. We’re downright incompatible

The color drained from his face, his heart aching and his hands trembling at her waist, he asked gently, Evadne, don’t scare me. What happened? Please, will you tell me?”
