Chapter 892

In an instant, Thaddeus's heart felt like it was about to leap out of his chest, his large hand clenching suddenly against the door.

"Why?"

Emeric was genuinely puzzled. "Thaddeus has been treated by you as the only good thing in this world, and your relationship is so stable. You've been living together for so long. Why not make it official? It would make things much easier for both of you."

Evadne's lips curved into a light smile, "Between Thaddeus and me, a marriage certificate doesn't change a thing."

"How can it not? To me, the most tangible expression of love is to give your beloved an irreplaceable status!"

Emeric's eyes sparkled with emotion, "I only ever married your mother, and she was the only special person in my heart, the true lady of the Ashbourne family. Even though she's been gone for years, her place in my heart has never changed. She is still my wife!

Out there, people will only call you 'Ms. Evadne', 'President Ashbourne', or Mr. Thaddeus's girlfriend. Don't you want to be rightfully Mrs. Abernathy? Isn't that what you've always wanted?"

Evadne lowered her gaze, silent.

"Child, do you still care about the fact that you two were once divorced? Is there still a knot in your heart?" Emeric asked worriedly.

Thaddeus felt a pang of heartache.

He didn't know if Evadne's scars had healed, but he knew his hadn't.

Anxiety, sorrow, regret, guilt. He had once hurt the woman he loved most, and he couldn't get over it for the rest of his life.

Bones broken, wounds deep.

He couldn't comfort himself into thinking Evadne had forgotten. Her not caring or mentioning it didn't mean she had forgotten.

"It's gone, dad. I've held no grudges for a long time. And as you know, I can endure physical hardships, but I can't stand being wronged in my heart. So don't worry too much. I don't want to get married now, mainly because there's a big issue unresolved-And that's Avery Chambers."

Evadne's eyes grew cold, "Without dealing with him, I can't rest easy, I can't eat. And I know, he's biding his time because there's no progress between Thaddeus and me. But I know him well, once Thaddeus and I get married, it would be like stepping on his toes. You'll see, Avery will definitely strike at the Abernathy group and KS Group relentlessly. He won't show mercy to my friends or family because of his so-called affection for me.

Avery is like a viper lurking in the dark, ready to lash out and bite the throat of his prey, delivering a fatal blow.

Jareth and Marilla have just gone through so much to be together, I don't want our families, our loved ones, to suffer any more harm for now."

Outside the door, Thaddeus's emotions surged, his respect for his love growing once again.

In terms of vision, wisdom, and scope, he couldn't compare to her.

All he knew was that at the height of their love, he wanted to give their relationship a conclusion, to give her a status, to make up for her past regrets.

But he hadn't considered that making a big move now would inevitably provoke Avery, that mad dog, to bite back mercilessly.
