His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 541

Thad’s large hand paused in the middle of brushing through Evadne’s flowing locks as his eyes darted to the phone screen.

“Evie, do you recognize this number?” he asked, his brows knitting together.

“No clue.”

“Should we answer it then?” His deep voice was light.

Evadne rarely took calls from unknown numbers, and it was even rarer for her to receive them.

Yet, this time, her heart thrummed with a peculiar anticipation, as if ignoring this call might make her miss out on the jackpot. “Hello?” Evadne said warmly as she picked up the call.

“Uh, hi.”

On the other end, a timid, soft, and gentle voice came through, reminiscent of her baby sister.

After locking her eyes with Thad, Evadne pressed the speaker button, and immediately hit record, “May I ask who is this?” “Is this Evadne speaking?” the girl whispered.

“Yes, I’m Evadne.”

“It’s Beverly.”

The couple tensed. Evadne felt her heart pounding, and her fingertips trembling with sweat.

Locking his intense gaze on his lady, Thad held his breath as he took her delicate hand and placed it over his heart, offering her a sense of calm that only he could provide.

“Beverly, you finally called,” Evadne’s voice was soft and warm, deliberately avoiding formalities to bridge their distance. “I’ve been waiting for your call every single day, and finally, it’s here.”

Thad’s eyes narrowed in disbelief at her excited expression.

She said she had been waiting for Beverly’s call, implying that she had expected to hear from her, but when had they ever connected? How come he hadn’t noticed?

“You’ve been waiting for me?”

Beverly fell silent for a while, before she continued with a frail voice, “Ms. Evadne, if I never reached out to you.”

“Then I would still wait. The choice to contact me is yours, but the decision to wait is mine,” Evadne declared, her words saturated with resolve.

Silence stretched on the other end of the line.

But Evadne offered patience, content to wait in silence.

Sometimes Thad admired her ability to endure for the sake of her goals. She didn’t flaunt her privileged background or act superior.

He could only muster this amount of patience for her, he mused.

“Ms. Evadne, I’m calling to tell you I’m willing to testify against Byron as a witness to his assault!” Beverly’s voice cracked, her words heavy with suppressed anger and pain.

Thad’s heart raced, his chiseled jaw tightened with intensity.

A flood of emotions surged within Evadne, and she struggled to hold back tears while whispering, “Okay, if you’re willing. I, along with Mr. Thaddeus from Abernathy Corporation, will support you all the way.”

His heart felt the impact; it was a fierce contraction, a reminder of his own rough upbringing and fractured family that made it hard for him to empathize with anyone other than his loved ones.

Yet now, wasn’t this feeling of bitter he was experiencing exactly empathy?
