His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 530

“Mr. Abernathy, Mrs. Abernathy, this is it. This is where Beverly Higgins lives,” said Gordon, looking around nervously

Born into a family of academics, Gordon had served Mr. Abernathy loyally for years, tackling many a tough job. Yet, he had seldom ventured into the gritty neighborhoods where everyday folks struggled to survive. Today, sans bodyguards, his anxiety was palpable.

But Thaddeus stepped out of the car with a cool composure.

A recent ram had left muddy puddles, and as Thaddeus carelessly trod into one, his handmade leather shoes were splattered with muck. He didn’t seem to mind at all.

It was like coming home

“Mr. Abernathy! Watch your step” Gordon cried out too late.

“It’s fine.” Thaddeus said, lips barely moving, nonplussed.

Evadne was about to step out when she felt herself lifted into the air. With a startled yelp, she clung to his neck.

Fearing she’d soil her clean shoes and hem, Thaddeus gave her a firm princess carry, his lips curling with a tender smile, “What’s there to be nervous about? When have I ever dropped you?”

“Whoa, a warning would’ve been nice–you scared me!

Evadne playfully punched his chest, seeing through his ruse. “Besides, it’s just a puddle. I’m not so delicate. I’ve had my share of hardships abroad. Im not that fragile”

“That was then, but now, you have me.” Thaddeus said, gently setting her down and steadying her by the waist.

Thaddeus thought, “Evadne, you have me now. You’ll be the happiest woman in the world.”

“Gordon, why take the long way to Beverly’s first?”

Evadne frowned in confusion. “The other girl’s place seemed closer. We could have stopped there before coming here, right? It would’ve been on the way.”

“Well, Mrs. Abernathy, that girl and her family refuse to see you and Mr. Abernathy Gordon sighed, finding the words difficult

“What’s the matter? Thaddeus’s eyebrows rose in concern.

“There’s no need to explain. I understand them.”“” Evadne said, taking his hand, her eyes soft yet resolute. “We’re not parents ourselves, we can’t fully empathize. The victims are vulnerable. Even the slightest thing puts them on edge. Even if we mean well our status is a threat to them. Plus, with the Chambers Group pressuring them recently it’s understandable they can’t face

Thaddeus’s austere features grew contemplative, and he nodded.

Those ordinary parents, without illustrious backgrounds or vast wealth, were like ants under the might of the Chambers Group A flick of their fingers could crush them.

They had done all they could to protect their young.

The couple shared a moment of silent empathy, a shared sorrow passing between them
