His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 103

Acacia had been making moves on Thaddeus repeatedly, showing her affection so openly. And in his

eyes, it’s all just coercion? “Thaddeus, I’m your fiancee! How could you say this about me?” Acacia’s

eyes instantly reddened, holding back her tears.

“Acacia, since the early days we were together, you knew I couldn’t handle women being too forward or

too affectionate.” Thaddeus took a deep breath, his eyes slightly cold.

“Yes, I know, I’ve always known.”

Due to Thaddeus’s upbringing and childhood traumas, he’s never been able to have a real intimate

relationship with a woman. Just expressing his feelings was already a big step for him.

Otherwise, other women would have sna tched up such a great guy like him long ago, even without

Ilana.

“But ever since we got back together, you seem to have forgotten that.”

Thaddeus clenched his fist, remembering Ilana’s cold gaze.

He was confused, feeling guilt-ridden, but couldn’t figure out what he had done wrong.

He’s never been this lost in his life.

“But Thaddeus, I’m about to marry you!” Acacia’s eyes were red and slightly agitated, “We’re not kids

anymore. We can’t just hug and hold hands forever! I will share a bed with you, have your children!”

Thaddeus took a step back unconsciously.

He thought marrying this woman was what he wanted.

But why was it that the closer they got to the wedding, the more panicked and resistant he felt?

Suddenly, the door was pushed open again.

Cas sius sta ggered out from the banquet hall, his face flushed, his tie-clenching hand trembling, his

eyes unfocused, as if he was drunk.

Thaddeus was puzzled when he felt the unusual heat coming from Cas sius as he walked by.

Acacia hid behind Thaddeus, a cold smirk on her face.

Meanwhile, Evadne had just changed back into her clothes and walked out from backstage after

removing her makeup.

“Ms. Ilana! Something’s wrong!” the maid hurriedly approached her, “President Ashbourne is unwell

and is resting in his room. Can you please check on him? He seems to be in quite a discomfort.”

Upon hearing that Cas sius was unwell, Evadne’s heart immediately raced.

“Please, lead me to him!”

Thaddeus and Cas sius left one after another, and Jareth was left alone, bored out of his mind, so he

decided to take a stroll outside.

Night had fallen, and the stars filled the sky. The backyard garden was peaceful, with a small bridge

and running stream, it was quite a sight.

Jareth admired the lights in the garden under the hazy moonlight; it was beautiful.

However, as he was enjoying the view, he suddenly heard rustling noises from the bushes.

Jareth’s pupils suddenly contracted. He turned around and sternly asked, “Who’s there?”

But no one answered, and the noise stopped.

It could’ve been a stray cat hiding in the bushes.

Jareth didn’t overthink about it and was about to leave when the bushes began to rustle again!

And this time, he heard a soft female voice.

There was definitely someone in there!

Jareth furrowed his eyebrows and walked towards the bushes.

The voice was weak, with a hint of sobbing.

Jareth’s heart raced, and his throat tensed up as he approached the bushes.

“Who’s there? Come out.”

As he got closer, he saw the lace hem of a woman’s white dress. He was slightly surprised and parted

the bushes.

Jareth was stunned.

Under the dim light, the girl’s skin was incredibly delicate, her eyes misty, her lips slightly parted, and

she seemed to be having difficulty breathing.

Jareth’s lips trembled slightly. He was shocked.

“Marilla?! What are you doing here?!”

“I’m hot.”

Marilla lifted her beautiful face, her whole body trembling, from her cheeks to her ears and down to her

neck, all flushed with a light red.

“Hot? What happened? Are you sick? You can’t just hide in here!”

Jareth was confused and quickly extended his arms, trying to pull her out of the bushes.

However, he could feel her heat when he touched her arm! She was like a living furnace!

“Are you running a fever?” Jareth asked anxiously.

“Mr. Jareth, help me.”

Marilla’s consciousness started to blur, and Jareth’s face in front of her also blurred.

But when he got close to her, touched her, it felt really good.

She didn’t understand what was happening, and she just wanted him to keep touching her, to stay

close to him.

“Marilla.” Jareth couldn’t finish his sentence, suddenly a wave of heat hit him, and then he was tightly

embraced by Marilla, and both of them fell into the bushes. Marilla sat on top of him, feeling extremely

sensitive.

Despite his experience, Jareth had never been gone after by a woman like this.

And a young girl at that!

Who was making a mistake here?!

“Marilla! Stop messing around, and I have a girlfriend, um!”

The next second, Marilla closed her eyes and, without hesitation, kissed his lips.

Jareth was taken aback, and his heart seemed to stop.

Their breaths gradually heated up, and everything around them went still.

Meanwhile, Glynnis couldn’t find Jareth and wasn’t sure if he had drunk the spi ked drink. She was

nervously pacing back and forth.

She hadn’t told Acacia that she also drugged Jareth’s drink.

She thought she should go all the way since she had made up her mind. She planned to establish a

relationship with Jareth and then suggest to her parents that she should marry him.

Under the authority of the Abernathy family, Jareth wouldn’t refuse her.

But where on earth had Jareth gone?

“Glynnis!” A maid ran up to her hastily.

“How are things going?” Glynnis looked around cautiously and asked in a low voice.

“It’s all set, chill out! I personally escorted President Ashbourne in, then brought Ilana over,” the maid

giggled proudly. “President Ashbourne was drugged. He and Ilana are alone together, they must be

doing what they’re supposed to be doing by now!”

“What about Jareth? Did you see him?”

“Uh no, I didn’t see him.”

“That drug, are you sure you drugged him?” Glynnis was so anxious that her face was flushed.

“I’m sure! And I watched Jareth and President Ashbourne down their drinks myself! If President

Ashbourne is drugged, there’s no way Jareth is okay!” the maid a**ured. Just as Glynnis was fretting,

Acacia called. She quickly moved to take the call elsewhere.

“Glynnis, you’re doing great. Now, let’s sit back and watch the show!”
