His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 801

Evadne gazed into the man's tumultuous eyes, her lips, still flushed and tender from his kiss, quivered slightly.

Suddenly, the image of Alexia's beguiling face came to mind, along with the smile she reserved exclusively for Thaddeus. A peculiar discomfort twisted in Evadne's heart.

She wasn't prone to fits of jealousy. As the esteemed Ms. Ashbourne, CEO of the K Group, she refused to indulge in the petty squabbles so typical of those clingy, dependent women.

Yet, this time, her emotions betrayed her, filling her with an unfamiliar irritation.

"Mr. Chad Abernathy is your brother; he greeted me politely. Should I not smile back? Would crying be more appropriate?" Evadne turned her face away, trying to avoid his burning gaze, her delicate nose tinged with a hint of red.

Thaddeus' eyes darkened, his fingers gently pinching her chin, turning her face back towards him with a mix of coercion and seduction.

"Evadne, I'm scared."

She blinked her moist eyes at him.

"You're so beautiful when you smile. I fear he might become enchanted by you," his voice was hoarse, his lips hovering teasingly over the corner of hers.

"I can't help it if I'm this perfect, constantly radiating charm without even trying." Evadne murmured sulkily, "But even with all my allure, I can't hold a candle to Alexia."

Thaddeus' brows knitted together, "What do you mean by that?"

"I thought you had eyes only for me, that you were truly interested in no one else. Turns out you just hadn't met someone who caught your fancy," Evadne's soft lips curled, jealousy permeating the entire corridor.

Even though Thaddeus was insensitive, he caught on at that moment and couldn't suppress a chuckle, his heart swelling with joy, "Evadne, are you jealous?"

"I am not. It's your body after all; I can't control who you look at! mmm!"

Evadne's lips were claimed once more by the man, this second kiss hotter, more passionate, and fierce, leaving her body limp and her mind adrift.

Their bodies pressed tightly together, she could even feel his embarrassingly evident arousal. Shyly pushing against his chest, she couldn't muster the strength to resist.

Despite his prideful physique, Thaddeus was not someone randy. He restrained himself in this crucial moment, despite the struggle.

His large hand caressed the nape of her neck, his voice sultry and low, "It's my fault. If it happens again, I'll blind myself as penance to my lady."

"You'd dare to have another time? You cad!" Evadne's eyes flashed, her clenched fist aiming for his shoulder.
