Chapter 825

If Jareth, his best buddy, overheard what he was about to say, he'd definitely rip him a new one with a snort and a chuckle.

Loser! A lion in public, a lamb at home!

"Consort?"

Evadne's enchanting eyes narrowed seductively as she hooked her fingertip under the man's chin, tilting it upwards, "Mr. Thaddeus, are you really content with this?"

"Far from it."

Thaddeus' gaze burned into hers, his Adam's apple bobbing conspicuously with a swallow, undeniably alluring, "But, I know I'm not worthy."

Evadne thought, "If you're not worthy, then who is?"

Still, Evadne did have her pride to maintain. Evadne's heart thumped wildly, but she teased with feigned annoyance,

"Is this what you call a proposal?"

Thaddeus' lips pressed into a thin line.

"People usually have romantic gestures and lavish rings when they propose. Who ever heard of proposing with a comb, and a broken one at that?" Evadne stood hands on hips, mockingly upset.

His large hand clenched tightly, the teeth of the comb embedding into his flesh.

He remembered when Evadne married him; there was no proposal, no wedding. She simply came to Windermere Estate with just her baggage and settled in without a fuss.

Even that three-carat wedding ring he gave her seemed more like a prop than a token of love. He hadn't picked it with care, yet she treasured it, wearing it every day.

The guilt was like a debt that could drown him over and over again.

He'd dreamt of marrying her all his life, but even now, he couldn't openly say those words,
