Chapter 1030

For the next three days, Evadne didn't go back to her cottage in Elmsworth. Not only was Alva waiting there for her, but the place overflowed with memories of her and Thaddeus—every corner a reminder of when she'd loved him.

Even setting foot there felt like being sliced open.

She couldn't bring herself to go home to Silverlake Harbor, either-didn't want Emeric to worry, or to face her family's questions. So, she checked into a room at a downtown KS Group hotel, and holed up there for three nights, barely sleeping or eating.

On the fourth day, her eldest brother, Elvis, and Jason finally tracked her down.
