His Ex wife is a billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) Novel Full Episode

Chapter 385

Why did he come here to discuss this with her?

Why did he apologize to her?

What she wanted from him was never an apology. It was something else that he had never been able to figure out!

Disappointment and shame coursed through Evadne’s b*dy, making her shiver with anger.

She wasn’t usually the type to cry, but for some reason, at that moment, her tears wouldn’t stop falling.

Avery had never seen Evadne lose her composure like this. The once quirky, confident girl was nearly being destroyed by Thaddeus. “Evadne, please, stop crying” he pleaded.

In front of Thaddeus, Avery opened his arms and gently embraced the distraught Evadne.

Feeling weak, her head rested on Avery’s shoulder, quickly soaking it with her tears.

Avery’s heart pounded faster, and a slight smile lifted the corners of his l*ps.

At this moment, his longing heart felt a sense of satisfaction he had never experienced before. He had never felt so content and happy.

The scene unfolding before Thaddeus dealt a crushing blow to him.

He staggered back, leaning against the wall, a cold chill spreading through his b*dy.

“Thaddeus, aren’t you leaving?” Avery asked, his voice cold.

“If you genuinely feel sorry for Evadne, you should do as she wishes and remove yourself from her life entirely. Your presence only serves to reopen her wounds. She’s finally escaped from her misery, and yet, you persist in reminding her of how humiliated she was when she loved you.”

Thaddeus didn’t know how he managed to leave the hospital room.

The bruise on his forehead made his face appear even paler, as if all the blood had been drained from his b*dy..

He didn’t dare to seek out Jareth now.

All he wanted was to find a quiet place where he could hide and be alone for a while.

Thaddeus walked heavily into the staircase.

He leaned against the wall, his tall b*dy slowly buckling as if his bones were about to shatter under the weight. Suddenly, the door to the staircase opened.

A cold beam of light hit Thaddeus‘ sweaty face, and he quickly straightened up, hiding his disarray.

“Still not willing to leave? Thick–skinned, aren’t you?”

Avery appeared before him, his gaze cold and mocking. “Are you still clinging onto hope after everything that’s happened? You saw what happened just now. The person Evadne needs now is me. But I should thank you. If it weren’t for your heartlessness, Evadne might not have been able to let go of you entirely and accept me.”

Thaddeus took a deep breath, not wanting to say a word to him. Just seeing Avery filled him with loathing.

Had this been in the past, he would have already fought this man who stole his beloved.

But did he have the right to do so now?

As Thaddeus prepared to walk past Avery without a word, Avery suddenly asked, “Why did you apologize to Evadne? What did you do to her two years ago?” Thaddeus paused, his eyes stinging.

Images of that night fiooded his mind. They had been n*ked together, his hot l*ps brushing against her blushing earlobe as he whispered again and again how much he loved

her.

She had blossomed beneath him, her sweet moans and gentle acceptance.

Although Evadne never said the word “love” to him, he could feel that she still had feelings for him.

They still had hope back then.

But he had disappointed her over and over again, causing her pain and ultimately destroying that glimmer of hope.

Thaddeus felt a sharp pain in his chest, causing his eyes to well up with tears.

“Do you really want to know?” He asked, his voice hoarse.

“Of course. As a man who has loved Evadne for fifteen years, I want to know everything about her,” Avery said, barely able to hide his pride.

Thaddeus stared at him, his eyes as deep as a fathomless pool.

After a moment, a/chilling smile spread across his pale face. “Two years ago, when she was still my wife, we had S**.”

Avery’s eyes widened in shock!

“Evadne has been my woman for a long time.”

“Monster!”

A surge of anger welled up in Avery, causing him to clench his fist and swing at Thaddeus‘ face.

His Evadne, whom he could barely bring himself to touch.

How could this monster have taken her when he didn’t even love her?

With a swift motion, Thaddeus caught Avery’s punch in his palm. His quick reaction contrasted sharply with the man who had just stood there and let Evadne hit him.

Avery gritted his teeth, unable to pull his hand free.

Never before had anyone made him feel so oppressed!

“Evadne hitting me is justified. It’s what I owe her. If she were to stab me in the heart or slice me to pieces, I would willingly endure it.”

Thaddeus eyes narrowed as he tightened his grip, causing Avery to wince in pain. “But who do you think you are to lay a hand on me? I stayed to listen to you out of respect

for Evadne. Don’t push your luck, thinking I’ll let you walk all over me.”

With a swift motion, he threw Avery off, causing him to stagger back and slam against the wall.

Avery realized then that he was no match for Thaddeus.

“Huh, huh.”

Leaning against the wall, Avery let out a sinister laugh that contrasted sharply with his refined, pale face. “So, you haven’t given up on Evadne. You still want to compete with me, right? Do you think you can beat me?”

“Avery, I’ve never thought about competing with you. If you truly love Evadne, I won’t stand in your way. I won’t stop anyone from loving her.”

Because he had never been able to give her the complete love she deserved.

If someone else could, he would willingly let go.

“But I know exactly who you are, Avery. I’ll always be watching you. If you so much as think about crossing any lines, I won’t let you off the hook.” There was a dangerous glint in Thaddeus‘ eyes, chilling to the bone. “You’re always in my line of sight, Avery.”

With that, he turned and left, the door slamming shut behind him with a resounding thud.

“Thaddeus, you can hardly look out for yourself, let alone dompete with me for Evadne.”

Avery adjusted his gold–rimmed glasses, his angelic features masked with a look more sinister than any demon. Suddenly, he let out a roar of fury, his fist shattering the glass door of the fire extinguisher box.

“Thaddeus, the price of competing with me for a woman is a one–way ticket to Hell!”

Jareth had been waiting outside the hospital for Thaddeus, chain–smoking one cigarette after another.

Seeing his good friend leave, looking pale and devastated, Jareth put out his cigarette and called out to him, “Thad!“.

But Thaddeus seemed disconnected from the world, walking right past Jareth without a word and getting into his car.

The worry in Jareth’s heart deepened.

The car headed towards Windermere Estate.

“Gordon said that your old villa has been officially sealed and auctioned off. Many people are bidding for it.”

Jareth reported the situation to him in a low voice, “All the things in the villa have been sorted out by Gordon. He’s packed up all the photos of your mother and sent them back to Windermere Estate. He’s thrown the rest into the trash and crushed. There won’t be a trace left. Thad? Thad? Are you listening to me?”

“Jareth, I’m not going back to Windermere. I want to see my grandpa. I miss him.”

By the time he said the last word, Thaddeus‘ voice was choked with emotion.

Jareth looked at him in shock, his heart pounding.

Thaddeus eyes were red and teary, his broad shoulders shaking uncontrollably.

He was crying.-

They had known each other for twenty years, and not once had Thaddeus shed a tear, not even at his mother’s funeral.

>> But for Evadne, he was reduced to tears.

Cassius had returned to Silverlake Harbor from Elmsworth.

He wanted to stay by Evadne’s side at the hospital, but his emotions were too unstable. He was afraid that his negative feelings would be seen through by his little sister.

So, he hid himself in his wine cellar, drowning his sorrows in bottle after bottle of wine.

“Mom.”

Cassius gently swirled his glass of red wine, his reddened eyes filled with sadness, “I’m sorry, I failed to protect my little sister. She’s been bullied. Mom, tell me, how can I help her? How

can

n I make her truly happy?”

Just then, the door to the wine cellar slowly opened.

Cassius squinted his slightly drunk eyes towards the intruder, his heart skipping a beat.

Leaning against the wall, with arms folded across his chest, Chasel was standing there, meeting his gaze with a smile.

He looked so much like him.

Cassius almost called out the name that had been buried in his heart for so long.

“Drinking alone is boring. Let me join you, Cassius.” Chasel said, his eyes deep and mysterious, as he sat down next to him.

Cassius stared at him without blinking, his throat trembling.

“Drinking that mych? It’s bad for the liver.”

Chasel sighed, pouring himself a glass of wine, “But I know you’re not in a good mood, so go ahead. I’ll give you some liver–protecting medicine later, remember to take it on -time. You’re not young anymore, you need to look after your health. You’re not even married yet, don’t ruin your b*dy.”

“You talk too much.”

Cassius smirked, emptying his glass in one gulp, “I’m not getting married. You don’t need to worry about me.”

“Not getting married? Why?” Chasel leaned his hand against his cheek, his teasing gaze roaming over him, “You’re the eldest son of the Ashbourne family, the future heir of the K Group, how can you not get married and carry on the family line? Would Chairman Emeric allow that?”

“That’s none of your business. And,” Cassius poured another glass of wine, his voice hoarse, his eyes filled with longing, “the future of the K Group belongs to Evadne. The future heir is Evadne.”

Chasel looked surprised, “You don’t want to be the CEO anymore?”

“I never wanted to be the CEO. Everything I did was to help Evadne, and to stand the last guard for my father.”

“Well done, Cassius.”

Chasel leaned in close to Cassius, his warm breath brushing against his handsome profile, “So why don’t you want to get married? Even if you like men, you can still get married. The law here allows same–S** marriage.”

Cassius‘ breath hitched, a tingling sensation spreading from his fingertips.

The red wine in his glass spilled a little, staining the wooden table like blood.

“I’ve devoted myself to God, including my love. So I won’t have a lover. I won’t get married.”

“God is merciful. He will forgive you for making irrational decisions for your beloved sister, and he will forgive you for drowning your sorrows in alcohol when you’re upset.” Chasel’s eyes darkened, his slender, pale hand gently wiping away the trace of red from Cassius‘ hand, “So if you want to love, God will definitely forgive you too. Or has it been so long since you last loved, that you’ve forgotten how to love someone? I can teach you.”

“I know how to love someone.”

Cassius lowered his long eyelashes, his complicated gaze lingering on Chasel’s alluring, moist l*ps, “I’ve loved someone before. I know what it feels like to love someone. And because I know, I don’t want to love again.”

He had loved before?

Who did he love?

Who was he, that he could earn the love of a man like Cassius?

Suddenly, a strong desire to conquer, mixed with intense lust, fiushed Chasel’s clear fox–like eyes.

Just as Cassius was about to stand up, the man before him suddenly leaned in, pressing a deep, passionate k*ss onto his pale l*ps.

His heart pounded uncontrollably in his chest.

Evadne’s car accident didn’t cause any severe physical injuries, more so it was an emotional trauma.

Avery had stayed by her side in the hospital, without a moment’s rest, for several days.

Truth be told, she didn’t need his care. But he insisted on staying, even if he couldn’t do anything at all, he wanted to make sure that Evadne could see him

from the break of dawn till the fall of night.

Emeric, along with his wife, just got back from abroad when he received a phone call.

“Mr. Emeric, it’s me.”

“Mr. Avery?”

Emeric was somewhat surprised, “What leads you to call me?”

“Evadne was in a car accident a few days ago. She’s been hospitalized. I’m with her in the hospital now.” The worry was clear in Avery’s voice.

“What are you saying? Evadne had a car accident?”

Emeric’s blood pressure shot up to 180 in an instant, his vision blurred, his heart pounded like a drum, “Why wasn’t I informed? Why didn’t anyone tell me?”

“It’s Evadne’s wishes. She didn’t want to worry you.”

“Stubborn girl! How could she do this? Doesn’t she consider me her father anymore?”

The thought of his precious daughter lying alone in a hospital bed, and him being oblivious to it, made Emeric furious and anxious, His face turned beet red, and he felt a pang in his heart!

“Mr. Emeric, please rest assured, Evadne is out of danger now. She should be able to leave the hospital tomorrow.” Avery said soothingly.

“Ah! Thank you for letting me know, and for taking care of Evadne these past few days. I’ll invite you for a meal sometime soon to express my gratitude. Which hospital is Evadne in? The Ashbourne Group? I’ll go see her right now.”

“Mr. Emeric, I am waiting for you outside the airport. I’ll drive you there.“,

Avery paused, lowering his voice, “Also, there are some important matters I’d like to discuss with you in private.”
