Chapter 902

**Thaddeus ensured Verna's safety before he hurried back to Elmsworth through the night.**

His heart was heavy with worry as he returned to their shared home, only to be greeted by the sound of Evadne's clear, pleasant laughter mingling with Alva's as they watched a sitcom.

Thaddeus's heart settled, and a gentle smile graced his lips. He draped his blazer over one arm and quietly made his way towards them.

"Mrs. Abernathy, after a whole day of hustle, you still haven't taken a moment to rest, and here you are, making snacks for the young master. You're working too hard."

Alva handed Evadne a cool slice of orange, his eyes filled with concern. "Leave these tasks to me. You should take every chance to rest."

"It's okay, I don't mind. Making snacks allows me to focus on something simple. It's actually quite relaxing," Evadne replied, smiling as she enjoyed a slice of the orange and offered one to Alva. "Thaddeus hasn't had a good rest in a while. Let him have some snacks, take a bath, and get some sleep when he gets back."

"Ah, back at the Windermere Estate, you took care of him day in and day out for three whole years without a break. And it seems nothing has changed."

Alva couldn't hide his dismay. "Mrs. Abernathy, you should take better care of yourself. Don't spoil him too much. You'll make a bad habit out of it!"

Thaddeus stood in the shadows, lips pressed tight, heart pounding.

"My man, who else should I spoil if not him?"

Evadne's words sent a shiver through him, as if they were newlyweds, the excitement undiminished. "Besides, Thaddeus is worth it."

His eyes welled up, throat tight with emotion.

He had never felt so valued.

To him, it was all about being lucky, nothing more.

"Ah!"

Evadne, startled by Thaddeus's sudden presence, nearly choked on her orange slice. "Thaddeus? When did you get back? Standing there silently like a ghost, you scared me!"
