His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 537

Nydia had been the epitome of a swashbuckling heroine just moments ago, but at the sight of her father’s name flashing on her phone screen, she wilted like a flower in the scorching sun, with her head drooping.

“Don’t worry, Nydia, Jason whispered, wrapping his arms around her, his gaze as bright and passionate as the break of dawn, “I’m here with you. I’ll go home with you. If Chairman Ashbourne tries to scold you, I’ll stand between you and any trouble.”

“How can you stand.” Nydia’s lips trembled, her heart fluttering with unease.

Jason chuckled softly in her ear, “I’ll just say, ‘Dear father–in–law, if you want to vent, direct it at me and spare the father–daughter bond.”

Nydia’s heart skipped a beat, feeling a tingling sensation spreading through her body as a blush bloomed across her fair cheeks, like a bud opening at dawn, which stole Jason’s gaze and made it impossible for him to look away

The young couple had their plans down pat, but they were driving Evadne up the wall with worry.

She wasn’t afraid of Emeric, it was the thought of him blaming Nydia and possibly grounding her that troubled her. It would only make things harder for the lovebirds.

Emeric’s call still rang out, albeit with a sense of urgency rather than anger.

Thaddeus, understanding the delicate predicament she faced, spoke up with resolve, “Evadne, if it’s too much for you, let me talk to Chairman Ashbourne”

“You?” Evadne blinked, “What will you say?”

Thaddeus pondered, betraying a gentle sincerity in his eyes. “Tll say it was all my idea and that you, Nydia, and Jason are innocent.”

“Stop! Are you trying to make things worse?” Evadne pouted in annoyance, jabbing his chest with her finger, “That line works because it’s cute when Jason says it. But coming from you to Emeric, it sounds presumptuous and arrogant. Don’t you want things to stay good between us?”

Seeing Evadne’s distress, Thaddeus panicked and grabbed her hand, pressing it to his chest, Tm sorry, I was just joking” But deep down, he wasn’t kidding at all.

His primary mission in life now was to marry Evadne and become Emeric’s son–in–law; everything else could be put off, Evadne steadied herself and prepared to answer the call.

“Dad”

“Is Nydia there with you? Emeric’s voice came through, brimming with urgency.

“Yes, she is.” Evadne’s own voice wavered slightly

“Put that girl on the phone,” Emeric’s voice was firm but tinged with impatience.

Evadne took a deep breath, wearing a serious expression, “Dad, at this point, blaming Nydia is pointless. Instead of losing your temper, why not consider the next steps?”

Emeric huffed on the other end, “Pit, Evadne, are you blind? Do I really seem that foolish and clueless to you?”

With her eyebrow arched, Evadne felt impressed by her father’s self–awareness.
