Chapter 930

Actually, Evadne was just playing a little game with Thaddeus, teasing him for fun. She knew exactly how dependable her man was, even if others didn't.

But her joke seemed to have frightened Mr. Abernathy. He dropped to one knee before her, lifting his strikingly handsome face to look at her with utmost sincerity, raising three fingers as he vowed:

"Evadne, I, Thaddeus Abernathy, swear that in this life, the next, and every life to come, I will love only you, Cynthia Winter. I will cherish only you, and want only you. If I falter, may I be struck by lightning and die a gruesome death!"

"Oh... alright, I was just joking."

Evadne couldn't bear to see him so serious and tried to cover his mouth, but he caught her hand firmly.

"Last night, I did go out, with Elvis and Aaron. We went to The Velvet Haven."

Evadne's heart leaped, her voice trembling as she caressed his chiseled cheek. "My God... You kept such a big thing from me? Nothing bad happened, right?"

He tried to call you, but you were asleep. I couldn't bear to wake you, and I was worried about Elvis going alone, so I rushed over. And even if you were awake, I wouldn't have let you go."

Evadne felt a warmth in her heart, lifting his face to plant a kiss on his forehead.

"Unfortunately, Avery anticipated this and had The Velvet Haven shut down, dismissed everyone, and he and Harvey have already left Elmsworth, even left the country."
