His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 261

Evadne couldn’t deceive herself, even though saying those words sent a faint pain through her heart.

But she was used to this pain. In the three years she was married to Thaddeus, this painful sensation

was more constant than his presence. She was used to it.

“Thaddeus, what’s the point in asking these questions now? Are you deluding yourself into thinking that

I will stay and wait for you?”

Evadne squinted her beautiful eyes, fragile as crystal. It was a rare moment of softness, heartbreaking

to witness. I loved you for thirteen years. How many sets of thirteen years does. one have in a lifetime?

I can’t love anymore. I really can’t love anymore, and I’m scared of you.”

She thought, “Not just you, I’m scared of love itself.”

A sharp pain pierced Thaddeus’s chest. His lips turned pale and all his emotions stuck in his throat,

leaving him struggling to breathe.

He was astounded to discover that he had hit rock bottom in his selfishness.

Their sham of a marriage had not only wasted her time but had nearly destroyed her.

“Evadne, are you being serious?” Thaddeus asked, unwilling to give up, knowing that he was inviting

humiliation.

“Yes, when have I ever lied to you?”

Evadne chuckled lightly, her tone light as a breeze that made his heart race. “When I said I loved you, it

was true. When I said I didn’t want a divorce, it was true. The tears I shed for you were real. So when I

say I don’t love you anymore, it’s also true.”

“Evadne.”

Thaddeus’s eyes were bloodshot as he grasped her hand again. Even though she was burning up with

fever, her hand was as cold as ice.

He couldn’t warm it up.

“Thaddeus, I appreciate you saving my life this time, you saved me once again, and I owe you one, In

the future, as long as it’s not too much, I’ll repay this favor.” Evadne’s words were cold

and distant.

It was clear that after this, she didn’t want anything more to do with him.

Thaddeus wanted to say something else, but Evadne leaned against his shoulder and fell asleep.

Her delicate face was flushed red, her long eyelashes fluttering, and her forehead was covered in a thin

layer of sweat. She looked like a peaceful adorable little bunny in his arms.

Thaddeus’s heart pounded as he held her even closer.

Once, he had countless opportunities to do this.

Now, he could only cherish these rare moments of solitude.”

He had brought this upon himself.

The walkie-talkie couldn’t make contact with anyone, and there was no signal on his phone either.

Although Thaddeus hoped from the bottom of his heart to have more time with Evadne, she was

currently running a high fever. If they delayed overnight, she could develop other complications.

Thaddeus was anxious and continuously checked her burning temperature with his palm.

He was restless for her.

In addition to finding ways to cool Evadne down, he also had to find a way to send out a signal so that

the helicopter and forest rangers could find them as soon as possible!

Eventually, Thaddeus braved the rain and found some dry branches. Using his survival skills learned in

the military, he managed to start a fire.

He lit a fire at the entrance of the cave as a distress signal and another inside the cave to keep Evadne

warm.

The orange glow of the fire lit up her small face, creating a peaceful and calm atmosphere. Her smooth

skin looked even more exquisite under the light, making Thaddeus’s gaze deepen.

Thaddeus.”

Suddenly, Evadne murmured his name in a daze.

“Evadne, I’m here.”

Thaddeus’s gaze was burning as he knelt in front of her, “Are you feeling warmer?”

“Thaddeus, you’re such a jerk!” Evadne muttered in her sleep, having a nightmare.

Even in her dreams, her hand was not idle. She lifted her hand and gave Thaddeus a slap.

It didn’t hurt. How much strength could a sick kitten have?

Thaddeus was amused. Even in her dreams, she didn’t forget to scold him. It seemed that the damage

he had caused her would take a lifetime to repair.

A lifetime.

He began to dream of spending a lifetime making it up to her and protecting her. Could it be that he

was falling in love with her?

With these thoughts, Thaddeus’s heart raced. He bent down uncontrollably, pulling her boneless body

into his arms, and his hot lips found hers.

“Hmm.“Evadne made a soft sound, making his heart race even more.

Their lips were tightly locked, and his gaze was as hot as the fire, kissing her deeper and deeper.

With her eyes closed, Thaddeus also closed his eyes.

Everything depended on the most basic instinct of body and mind. He just wanted to hold her and kiss

her for a long time, a little longer…

Just then, a gust of wind blew outside the cave!

The sound of a helicopter!

“Evadne! Don’t be scared, someone’s coming to save us. We’re saved!”

Even though Thaddeus was confident he could save her, the joy of surviving the ordeal caused him to

hold Evadne even tighter!

A helicopter landed smoothly on the ground amidst the raging wind.

Thaddeus squinted his dark eyes, using the bright searchlight to see the helicopter clearly.

This was not the Abernathy Group’s helicopter.

Theb who found them?

Whoever it was, it didn’t matter as long as Evadne could get treatment quickly.

Thaddeus picked up the drowsy Evadne, who was wrapped up like a burrito, and strode towards the

helicopter.

“Evadne!”

“Evadne!”

The anxious cries broke through the night sky: Cassius and Bennett got off the helicopter, one after the

other.

Thaddeus did not have any emotional reaction when he saw Cassius. But when he saw the handsome

man in a green military uniform and tall black boots with the rank of a colonel standing beside him, his

heart stirred.

Seeing him was like looking in a mirror, seeing his past self.

Even though he was now a CEO, sitting atop a billion–dollar business empire like an emperor, he still

missed his military days.

But now was not the time for reminiscing.

What he cared more about was this man’s relationship with Evadne!

“Thaddeus, give Evadne back to me!”

Bennett’s handsome face was hard to hide his anger, his uniform soaked by the heavy rain, beads of

water connecting from the brim of his military cap, but the storm couldn’t bend his straight spine.

Compared to Bennett who had never dealt with Thaddeus, Cassius was able to remain calm facing this

man who had a deep connection with their little sister, although he was not pleased.

Seeing Thaddeus almost bare–chested in this sub–zero weather, he had wrapped all his clothes

around Evadne.

Involuntarily, he furrowed his brows, feeling a touch of emotion.

“Evadne. What’s wrong with Evadne?”

Bennett dashed to Thaddeus, but the man took two cautious steps back, coldly sizing him up.

“Who are you to her?”

“He’s my brother and Evadne’s third elder brother,” Cassius timely explained.

Thaddeus’s eyes widened in puzzle.

Looking closely, although Bennett and Cassius didn’t look alike, he resembled Elvis in seven out of ten

features. He Just hadn’t realized it at first glance!

Thaddeus never knew that there was another soldier brother around Evadne, and he held a high

military rank and an important position!

His thin lips were tightly pressed, and the heartache was piercing. He couldn’t help but hold the woman

in his arms even tighter.

He thought, “Damn it, why are all the men around her so outstanding?”

For the first time in his life, Thaddeus was intensely jealous over a woman, and envious over a man!

“Evadne.”
