His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 614

When Jareth arrived home, it was well into the night.

Lily, the housekeeper, emerged from the laundry room with a basket of clothes, hurriedly setting down her chores to greet the young master.

“Is Marilla asleep yet?” Jareth asked as he handed her his suit jacket, a flush of joy lighting up his face.

“She’s retired for the night.”

“Ah, after all the hustle.”

Jareth felt a twinge of disappointment, but it quickly gave way to a wide grin. “Then I’ll share the news with her first thing in the morning.”

Lily blinked in anticipation. “Sir, is there good news?”

“Grandpa gave his blessing.”

Jareth’s eyes sparkled with excitement, his voice trembling with emotion, “Grandpa, he’s agreed to my marrying Marilla!”

“Really?”

Lily’s heart leapt with joy, tears glistening in her eyes, “Congratulations! You’re finally going to make it official with Marilla! There couldn’t be happier news!”

“On the way back, my mother called. She said she’d consent to accepting Marilla, but only if Edith returned home.”

Jareth’s gaze turned icy. “As if that’s possible. When did my dear mother learn to bargain? Does she think if she doesn’t agree, I won’t marry Marilla?”

Lily nodded firmly in agreement.
