His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 794

Jareth's heart skipped a beat; he stared blankly at Mr. Frederic. His parched lips parted slightly, but after some while, he still couldn't find any proper words.

Thaddeus stood beside them, his eyes widening in surprise, but after a moment, his thin lips curved into a satisfied smile.

"Yes, Mr. Frederic Abernathy, I'll take care of it right away!"

Dennis was about to leave with a smile but was stopped by Jareth, "No need to trouble yourself. I've got a lot on my plate to deal with, but thanks for the offer, Mr. Frederic Abernathy."

Hearing this, Frederic didn't press further, simply nodding his head and speaking softly, "You've got a lot on your shoulders at home lately, and it's all resting on you. It must be tough. But you can't neglect your own health. Marilla is my only daughter, and if you falter, her whole world falls apart."

Over these days, he'd suffered from overwhelming exhaustion and helplessness. In that moment, the warmth that Jareth hadn't felt in ages seemed to seep back into his body which had been battered by reality.

His heart clenched as he looked unwaveringly at Frederic, his voice hoarse yet resolute, "Rest assured, for Marilla's sake, no matter how tough, I'll hold on."

Thaddeus slung an arm around Jareth's shoulder as the two walked towards the parking lot.

"Congrats, Jareth."

Thaddeus' eyes twinkled like the sun breaking through clouds, "Looks like Frederic is warming up to you. After that close shave with death, he seems to have had a change of heart, and the ice between you is melting."
