His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 1028

Their eyes met-Evadne's were rimmed red, her hazel gaze filling with tears, equal parts heartbreak and hope.

Thaddeus had come out to see her. Did this mean he knew she'd been watching over him all along?

Maybe, deep down, he still cared. Maybe she still meant something special to him.

Evadne's lips parted, soft and trembling. Her nose was pink from crying, and she lay there on the floor, looking up at him with a voice so small and wounded it made her sound almost childlike.

"Thaddeus... Thaddeus..."

He stared down at her, his blue eyes dark and unreadable. For a long moment, he said nothing. Then his gravelly voice broke the silence.

"Why are you still here?"

A fat tear slipped down Evadne's cheek, fragile as glass.

She wanted to speak, but all that came out was a broken sob.

Thaddeus frowned, eyeing her tear-streaked face with growing impatience.
