His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 431

Ever since Ward had met Evadne and Thaddeus, he had practically spent countless nights in insomnia,

constantly chewing over the words Evadne had said to him.

That little witch, with her silver tongue, had proposed a deal that was too tempting to resist. Even if it

was a sham, he was tempted. But he despised the couple too much. He hated their perfect beauty and

their wealth. One was the rising star in Elmsworth’s business world, the other was the brilliantly

talented heiress of the city’s richest family.

Just thinking about it was enough to get his blood boiling!

Moreover, he blamed his current predicament on Evadne and Thaddeus! So he harbored a frustrated

rage in his heart, wishing that Elspeth could continue to keep them in check from the outside, continue

to torment them, even turning this golden couple into a pair of fugitives!

For a few days, Ward’s life in prison wasn’t comfortable, but it was uneventful. However, for the past

few days, he couldn’t shake off the feeling of being watched by a pair of sinister eyes, making his spine

tingle, even disturbing his appetite.

Tonight, he lay on the dirty smelly bed, still feeling a chill run through his body, tossing and turning.

Just as he was about to fall asleep from exhaustion, he suddenly heard a rustling sound, very close!

The sound was very faint, and if it wasn’t for his years of mercenary experience, anyone would have

missed it!

Just as Ward was about to get up, he felt a cold breeze from behind him. He hastily turned over, but it

was already too late!

“Ugh!”

In the next moment, an intense, terrifying pain spread throughout his body!

In the darkness, he saw a man in the same cell stabbing a sharpened toothbrush handle into his neck.

He stared in terror, and could even hear the sound of blood flowing in his throat.

“Die.”

The man said just the word, and viciously pushed the toothbrush deeper.

Ward was shocked to the core, clutching the man’s arm, “Who are you?”

“I have no grudge against you; I’m just a hired hand?“.

A hired hand?! A name flashed through Ward’s mind – Elspeth!

After returning from Country T, Thaddeus didn’t rush back to the group to handle daily affairs, but

obediently stayed at home to rest, as per Evadne’s instructions.

Even during the countless nights when Evadne was sound asleep, he would sneak into the study to

review documents and handle affairs. Only when the day was about to break, would he sneak back into

bed, laying beside the woman who had captured his heart, fenderly kissing her from her forehead all

the way down, and only then would he sleep contentedly.

That afternoon, Evadne took Thaddeus to the Ashbourne family hospital, with Mr. Larry personally

conducting the check–up.

When they found out that Thaddeus’s body was recovering very well, and the wounds on his shoulder

and back were healing at an astonishing rate, Evadne jumped with joy and clung to him like a little

koala, her face buried in his neck, and gave his warm skin a big kiss.

“That’s great, really great!”

Evadne was oblivious to how wildly provocative her actions were. She was just happy for Thaddeus,

and expressing her feelings. She didn’t notice Thaddeus’s reddened eyes, filled with intense emotions,

the desire almost dripping from them.

He swallowed, staring straight at Evadne’s starry eyes, “Yes, it’s great, Evadne.” With that, he leaned in

close to her ear, his breath hot, “I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. If I had to wait any longer,

I think I’d go crazy.”

Feeling the seductive undertone in his words, Evadne’s heart pounded, her cheeks flushed, her lashes

fluttering.

“Ahem, congratulations, Mr. Abernathy, on your speedy recovery. I have some things to do, so I’ll leave

you two to jest in my office. Make yourself at home; I’m taking off!”

Mr. Larry, a father of three, knew all about young people’s little games. If he didn’t make himself scarce

at this point, it would be a serious lack of tact.

“Wait! Mr. Larry, I have some things to discuss with you; I’ll come with you!” Evadne, her face flushed,

tried to extricate herself from Thaddeus’s arms, but his strong hands were holding her waist, making it

impossible for her to get away.

“Oh my! Ms. Ashbourne, you’re Dr. Eve. I have a lot of medical issues that need your expertise! I’m so

flattered!” Mr. Larry said, making his way out of the office, the door almost about to close.

“Let’s learn from each other; wait for me!” Evadne pushed Thaddeus away and tried to follow Mr. Larry,

looking like a little rabbit that had just escaped from a tiger’s mouth. In the blink of an eye, she had left

the office with him.

Thaddeus watched the closed door, a fire in his eyes, suppressing his desire, a bitter smile on his face.

When they returned to the villa, it was already late at night. As soon as they walked through the door,

Evadne hadn’t even changed her shoes when she was swept off her feet by Thaddeus, who couldn’t

wait to carry her upstairs at a brisk pace.

“Hey! Put me down!” Evadne, wide–eyed with surprise, wrapped her arms around Thaddeus’s neck.

Her slender legs swung back and forth; her red high heels fell off her feet and tumbled down the stairs.

“No. Thaddeus pecked her on the nose, his breath shaky with suppressed desire, making his voice

husky, “Evadne, let’s see what excuse you can tome.. up with this time.”

“Excuse, what excuse?” Evadne’s eyes sparkled, her cheeks flushed.

“My body has fully recovered, and by my calculations, you’re not on your period.” Thaddeus swallowed,

his eyes turning red with desire, “Let’s see how you’re going to reject me this time.”

Evadne recalled all the times they had spent together like roommates, without a single intimate

moment.

Thaddeus had hinted at his desire a couple of times, but she had always stopped him, saying that he

needed to recover. Even on the plane, he had satisfied her with his hand, but had been left frustrated.

Looking back, it seemed quite pitiful.,

In no time, Evadne found herself under the weight of Thaddeus on the bed.

His breathing was heavy with passion, about to seize her soft lips when she pushed lightly against his

trembling chest, her face flushed. Her voice was a mixture of timid irritation and indignation, her eyes

becoming wet.

“Did you recover just to do this with me? Is that all you want from me, Thaddeus? I’m not just a tool for

your pleasure!”

Thaddeus froze, the fiery desire in his eyes quickly replaced with endless affection. He chuckled,

kissing her forehead, “Silly girl, what are you talking about? Yes, I do want you, but only you.”

A moved feeling welled up in Evadne’s throat, and she bit her lip.

“We went through so much to finally be together again; can’t you see how much I cherish this

relationship, cherish you? I wish I could split each day into many parts to spend with you; 24 hours just

isn’t enough.”

Thaddeus sighed deeply, a bitter emotion filling his chest, “I want to treat you well, but I don’t know how

to make you satisfied, to make you feel happy. So, I hope every day of the rest of our lives together will

be like the honeymoon period. I hope that decades from now, when we’re old, I’ll still have the strength

to hold you, to kiss you.”

Evadne stared at him silently, her eyes welling up with tears.

“Evadne, are you crying?” Thaddeus was at a loss for what he might have said wrong. Panicked, he

kept apologizing, “I’m sorry. I won’t touch you anymore, Evadne, I won’t.”

S

Before he could finish his sentence, Evadne’s arms wrapped around his neck, her lips sealing his with

a passionate kiss, tears rolling down her cheeks. Thaddeus felt like he was floating on a soft cloud;

initially he could control himself, but as her kisses deepened, he lost control, pressing her down, his

hands ripping through her tight black dress.

Evadne had initially taken the upper hand, but ultimately surrendered to his passion. She felt as though

she was engulfed in a raging fire of desire, her entire body aflame. It was overwhelming, earth–

shattering.

Her waist ached, but it was a sweet kind of pain.

The couple, who had been entwined until dawn, slept in each other’s arms until late in the morning.

-Thaddeus was the first to wake up. Seeing Evadne still asleep on his arm, he didn’t dare to move

despite the numbness, just gazing at his loved one’s

sleeping face.

After about half an hour, Evadne, finally woke up, stretching lazily. She was entangled with Thaddeus in

bed for a while, finally deciding to take a shower when she couldn’t stand the sticky sweat on her body.

However, she ended up in a bathtub with Thaddeus, unable to escape his advances. She almost

slipped in the bathroom out of frustration.

After their shower, they stood side by side in front of the bathroom mirror, brushing their teeth. That’s

when the phone rang.

Evadne picked up the call with her toothbrush in her mouth, “Dr. Victor, how’s your trip abroad? Having

a good time?”

Thaddeus knew Victor, he knew everything Victor had done for Evadne. He paused, listening to their

conversation with perked ears.

The scenery is great, and the food is amazing. Thanks for sending me on this trip, Ms. Ashbourne. But

I’m back in Elmsworth now, Victor said in a gentle

tone.

“Back already? Why?” Evadne asked in surprise.

“I was worried about you; I couldn’t find peace being away.”

Thaddeus frowned, a cold laugh escaping his lips.

Evadne gave him a look before continuing, “Where are you staying now? Let me arrange a safe place

for you.”

“There’s no need for that, Ms. Ashbourne. I’m safe.”

Victor lowered his voice, “I came back because I figured Elspeth’s medicine should be running out by

now.”

“Oh?” Evadne raised an eyebrow.

“Without the medicine, she should contact me again. I’ll increase the dosage this time. After this, her

energy should be completely drained. She won’t be far from self–destruction.”

“You’ve done an excellent job, Dr. Victor,” Evadne took a deep breath, her eyes blazing, “Just hold on a

little longer, the dawn of victory is near.”

Just then, Thaddeus’s phone rang. It was Mr. Gordon.

He rinsed his mouth and answered the call with a vague sense of irritation.

“What is it?”

“Mr. Abernathy! Great news! Ward wants to meet you and Mrs. Abernathy!”
