His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 510

After an hour of kitchen chaos, a few edible dishes finally graced the dinner table.

Thaddeus could handle simple stir–fries, yet it was clear that he lacked proficiency in more elaborate culinary endeavors.

This modest success came under the watchful eye and stern direction of Evadne, who supervised the kitchen operation. Left to his own devices, Thad might not have managed to serve dinner until the wee hours.

Wiping the sweat from his brow and pulling his drenched white shirt away from his back, Thaddeus looked like he had battled with the kitchen equipment.

Seeing him in this state, Evadne felt a rush of affection. She reached for a napkin and dabbed at his forehead as she pouted, “Emeric is such a pest! With a horde of chefs back home and Myra, the culinary wizard holding down the fort, what delicacy can he not lay his hands on? Why must he stay and make life difficult for us?”

“Evadne, it’s been a long time since you last saw Emeric, and you mentioned you wanted him to stay for dinner to sample my cooking,” said Thaddeus, unperturbed by the trouble. Instead, he relished the cozy kitchen moments with his beloved.

Evadne felt guilty for her sharp tongue, her cheeks flushed with irritation, “I was being sarcastic! Can’t he take a hint?”

“Don’t worry about it, Evadne.”

Wrapping his arm around her waist, Thad soothed her with his gentle tone, “I’ve always wanted to do something nice for Emeric, even if it’s just a simple meal.”

“Are you trying to win him over?”

Clinging to him, their noses almost touching, Evadne whispered, “Drop it, sweetheart. He’s a tough nut to crack. You could lay on a feast, and he’d still give you the cold shoulder. Besides, you don’t need to go through all this trouble. We’re together, who cares if he approves or not?”

“Cough, cough!”

Emeric’s deliberate cough interrupted the couple’s intimate conversation.

Evadne rolled her eyes–this old man was such a mood buster!

“Hah, I thought you were making me breakfast, Mr. Thaddeus,” Emeric snorted, seating himself with an air of

grace.

Thaddeus remained silent.

“Heh, you were the one who insisted on staying for dinner, sir. Nobody forced you.”

Evadne retorted, her eyes narrowing slightly, “Just so you know, this is the first time Thaddeus has cooked for anyone other than me. You better appreciate this treat and not be picky.”

It was Emeric who remained silent in this turn.

Thaddeus smiled at the sight.

They truly were father and daughter. Their expressions and tones were exactly alike, mirroring the images of each other.

Emeric began to eat with a stiff back, his posture as rigid as his demeanor.

Thaddeus’s heart raced in anticipation as he watched Emeric taste his cooking. It felt like an ugly duckling’s first swim.
