His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 666

“What?”

Evadne was furious, a rush of anger overtaking her, “Darn it. I’m already on the edge and now they dare to provoke me? Watch me smash their skulls with a good baseball bat!”

“Cassius is with Emeric right now; I haven’t let them know about this yet.”

Thaddeus‘ eyes

darkened, whispering in her ear, “We all know why the Bright family is here. At this sensitive time, Cassius can’t show up, and even less can Emeric. Otherwise, those Bright group will take advantage of this incident to stir the pot, and who knows what kind of dirty tricks they’ll pull.”

“Huh. Let them try.”

The memory of Chasel’s suffering at the hands of the Bright family ignited a fiery rage in Evadne, “Chasel is such a good man, and just because he was trying to get medical treatment for Emeric, they beat him half to death. The Bright family clearly treated Chasel as a scapegoat! Do they even have the face to claim as Chasel’s family? They’re not worthy at all!”

Thaddeus nodded in solemn agreement, “This is a matter between your two families, and as an outsider, it’s not my place to step in. But don’t you worry, Bennett and Arnold are already on their way, and I’ll step in if need be. I won’t let them cause a scene and disturb Emeric’s recovery.”

“Who says you’re an outsider?” Evadne almost let her true feelings slip, biting her lip gently, her hands clutching at his crisp shirt.

“Hmm?” The man lowered his gaze, his breaths coming in warm, making her blush and heartbeat quicken.

“You’re part of the Ashbourne family, you’re my husband, definitely not an outsider.”

Her voice was soft and coy, cheeks blushing red as she nestled into his embrace.

Thaddeus‘ heartbeat raced, his hands trembling as they caressed the back of her neck, his voice deep and warm, “I’m your husband, always have been and always will be.”

God knows how agonizing it had been for him to wait for her to call him “husband.” Such sweet endearments are commonplace among lovers, but for him, someone who had once hurt her deeply, he dared not even hope for it.

He thought of Evadne’s past troubles, remembered that though she was rightfully his wife, she had to live alone in her cold room like a widow every day, longing day and night for his return, not even daring to call him “husband.”

Regret flooded him, and Thaddeus‘ throat tightened, his eyes involuntarily moistening.

“Evadne, Thaddeus.”

Chasel, having composed himself, approached them with a determined expression, “Let me go.”

“No way!”

Evadne flatly refused, her eyes filled with concern, “They almost beat you to death last time. Are you looking to throw your life away by walking into the lion’s den?”

“Dr. Bright, it’s better if you don’t show up. If something happens to you, Evadne and I wouldn’t be able to explain it to Cassius,” Thaddeus said sharply, hitting the nail on the head.

But Chasel shook his head firmly, “I may love men, but first and foremost, I am a man who doesn’t shy away from trouble. If I play the coward now, I don’t deserve to be considered part of Evadne’s family, nor to be worthy of her calling me…”

Evadne was moved, “Chasel.”
