Chapter 517

Evadne and Thaddeus were preparing to move back into their cozy nest that very evening.

As they were about to leave, Marilla clung to her sister–in–law and sobbed uncontrollably, crumpling Evadne’s little black dress and soaking the entire front with her tears.

For those who didn’t know, it would seem like they might never see each other again.

Evadne comforted her at length, promising to visit often and sternly instructed Jareth not to get too caught up with his Fairhaven group business. He should take Marilla out more often instead of letting her feel like a caged canary, losing the joy of freedom.

Jareth, with vows as loud as thunder, clung to his tear–soaked wife, standing on the doorstep to watch them leave.

Once the car had driven a distance, Evadne could no longer hold back her tears, which fell like twinkling stars descending into the dark night.

“Evadne, please don’t cry,” Thaddeus said, his voice laced with concern as his strong arm encircled her trembling shoulders, pulling her close for comfort, his chin resting atop her soft hair.

“It’s not like we’ll never see her again. If you miss Marilla, we can have her stay with us for a while. Or can buy a bigger villa. And if you like, we can all live together. Lily’s going to be so busy being an executive secretary, and Marilla can be taken care of by Alva. It couldn’t be more suitable.”

“Hmph, are you really Jareth’s bro? Coming up with such an awful idea,” Evadne sniffled, poking his chest with an accusing finger. “You want to split them up just to cheer me up? How heartless. Even if Marilla doesn’t say it, I bet Jareth would be cursing you in secret every day.”

Thaddeus was momentarily stunned, then his lips pressed onto hers once more.

After a tender moment, he chuckled ruefully, “I didn’t think that much. I saw that you were reluctant to part with Marilla so I thought I was doing a good thing.”

“You told me not to disturb the lovebirds,” Evadne said, her breath ragged from his kiss, her eyes shining with tears, “So don’t disturb them.”

Thaddeus gazed deeply into her eyes, which ensnared his very soul, and a barely perceptible mischievous smile played on his lips. “Evadne, are you telling me not to disturb them, or do you want our reclaimed world for two to remain undisturbed, hmm?”

Blushing, Evadne bit her lip shyly. “I won’t tell you.”
