His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

“Why?” Thaddeus frowned, a hint of tension in his eyes.

Chapter 90

He had no idea how long he had psyched himself up to say ‘I’m sorry. A whole da mn week without

sleep!

He had originally planned to apologize to her on his grandpa’s birthday, but after seeing Jareth strut

into her house tonight, he realized that he couldn’t wait any longer and just wanted to see her ASAP.

He didn’t really understand why he felt that way and he had never felt like that before.

His emotions always had a switch. But at that moment, he was beginning to realize that the switch

controlling his emotions seemed to be in Ilana’s hands.

“If someone should apologize, it should be Acacia herself. What are you doing apologizing on behalf of

her? Trying to show off your lovey-dovey relationship?”

Evadne’s eyes were cold as ice while saying, “If she killed someone, would you pay for her crime?”

“Ilana, I’m here to apologize to you sincerely!” Thaddeus’ voice rose a few notches, his eyes slightly

red.

“I think you’re just trying to pi ss me off.” Evadne couldn’t help but laugh, her eyes flashing coldly,

“Thaddeus, if you don’t understand the meaning of ‘sorry’, don’t use the word and taint it!”

“Ilana, are you trying to pick a fight with me?” Thaddeus’s voice became colder.

“You’re the one picking a fight, I didn’t ask you to come, you came here to make yourself

uncomfortable.”

Evadne forcefully pulled her wrist away, wincing from the pain, “Let go, I’m going home!”

“Even if I’m apologizing on behalf of Acacia, so what? I still apologized to you, what more do you

want?!” Thaddeus could no longer hold his anger in, gripping her shoulders tightly.

“Thaddeus, what I wanted was never an apology from you.”

What she really wanted from him was his love but she knew she would never have his love in her

lifetime. She accepted that reality then she finally let go of him, why was he still bothering her? Did he

think she was cheap?

Evadne laughed bitterly, tears welling in her eyes.

At that moment, her eyes were red as fire, bright enough, beautiful enough and dazzling enough.

Thaddeus felt as if he was being burned by her gaze, his heart racing.

“I want you to disappear from my world, completely. Goodbye, no need to see you out.”

Evadne pushed Thaddeus away, but he grabbed her wrist tightly again, saying, “How can I possibly

disappear? We were once married so you can never erase the word ‘divorce’ from your life

experience!”

“I can if I say I can. You may think we’re divorced, but in my eyes, I’m a widow!” Evadne’s eyes were

full of contempt as if he was just a speck of dust.

Thaddeus suddenly felt pain as if he had been hit hard by something, his head buzzing, the pain

unbearable!

He took a deep breath, his hand trembling as he h oar sely said, “Ilana! I won’t let you go! As long as I

don’t divorce you, you will never start anew!”

Slap!

Evadne’s usually firm eyes were now full of tears, she finally couldn’t take it anymore and slapped

Thaddeus.

That was only the second time she hit him, but her feelings that time were completely different from the

first.

Her heart felt like it was pierced by his words.

“Thaddeus, if I knew that you were such a lowlife, I never should have married you in the first place!”

Evadne quickly got out of the car and slammed the door shut.

She ran towards the mansion without even taking the time to open her umbrella as she just wanted to

get out of his sight at that moment.

Thaddeus sat there, stunned, his head still tilted, in the same position as when he was slapped.

After who knew how long, his tall figure began to curl up, his arms wrapped around his throbbing head,

shaking, looking pitiful.

Back home, Evadne avoided Jason and headed straight for her room.

She had just made it up the stairs when she could no longer hold it together, her left hand against the

wall, her right hand gripping her clothes, panting as if she were drowning. only just managing not to let

the tears of sadness flow.

*Ilana?*

Jareth’s worried voice came from behind her, Evadne bit her lip, forcing the tears back down as she

didn’t want to reveal her men tal state to him.

“I’m tired and want to rest, I won’t see you out. Thanks for your gift.”

“Ilana, what’s wrong?” Jareth asked anxiously.

“I’m fine, you don’t have to worry about me, good night!”

*Ilana!”

Jareth quickly caught up with her, gripping her slender shoulders, forcing her to turn towards him.

His strength was too much, Evadne felt dizzy, and her moist eyes filled with deep resentment.

It was even more captivating.

“You cried?” Jareth stared at her intently,

“No.” She answered coldly, but her red-rimmed eyes couldn’t hide the secret.

“Ilana, did Thaddeus make you mad? He’s such a fool, you shouldn’t stoop to his level, he’s just not

worth it!”

“Yeah, not worth it,” Evadne muttered in a daze.

Jareth took a deep breath, her gaze like shards of ice piercing his heart.

“Ilana, why don’t you try being with me?”

Evadne furrowed her brows.

“Why don’t you try accepting me? I might not be a good guy, but I’m willing to become one for you!”

Couldn’t he be compared to anyone else, not even Thaddeus?

“Jareth, I’m really tired. Don’t make it any harder for me than it has to be.” Evadne looked at him,

looking extremely dejected.

“Ilana.” Jareth’s breath quickened, his heart full of pity.

“It’s already late, I really want to sleep, you should also go home.”

Evadne pushed him away and headed for her bedroom.

“Are you and Ca ss ius really dating? What exactly is your relationship with him? Are you really dating

him or are you secretly using him to get back at Thaddeus?!”

Evadne was taken aback, clenching her fist in the dark and retorted. “These are none of your

business!”

“There’s no trace of you and Cas sius living together in this mansion. If he’s your boyfriend, why isn’t

there even a pair of his shoes at the door? How could there be no signs of him being with you?!”

“I’m telling you again, none of this has anything to do with you. You don’t need to interfere in my

personal life.”

“Ilana! Don’t hurt yourself, don’t do anything stu pid!” Jareth’s throat felt bitter, his voice filled with

urgency.

Evadne kept her lips sealed, not even looking back as she left him behind.

Thaddeus was driving home from Evadne’s place to Windermere Estate. A journey that normally lasted

less than an hour, but he took a full two hours to travel the same

distance.

A splitting headache made it almost impossible for him to see the road ahead, and the heavy rain made

it even harder for him to focus on the road. He nearly crashed the car

twice.

Thaddeus burst into his study, knocking over cups and papers in his frantic search for medication.

When he finally found the pill bottle that he was searching for, he swallowed the pills dry, without even

pausing to get a drink of water.

But even after taking double the usual dose, his headache didn’t let up one bit.

“Thaddeus, if I knew that you were such a lowlife, I never should have married you in the first place!”

Ilana’s hateful words echoed in his mind, making his strong body curl up in pain. His headache was

splitting, and he was soaked in cold sweat.

Hearing the commotion, Alva rushed into the room to figure out what was actually going on.

Seeing Thaddeus in such pain, she felt her heart ache and tears sprang to her eyes.

“Mr. Thaddeus! What’s wrong?! Is it your migraine acting up again?!”

Thaddeus was in a state of confusion, slurring his words, “Ilana. Ilana.”

“Mr. Thaddeus! Hang in there, I’m going to immediately call your private doctor!”

Alva, white as a sheet, hurried out of the room. Just then, the phone started to vibrate.

It was an unfamiliar number.

“Hello?!”

“Alva, it’s me,” A gentle voice came through.”

“Ms. Ilana?! Is that you?!” Alva clapped a hand over her mouth, unable to believe her ears.

“Yes, it’s me, Ilana.”

“Ms. Ilana, it really is you, thank goodness!”

Alva, tears streaming down her face, barely managed to get the words out of her mouth, “Please save

Mr. Thaddeus! His migraine is back! He’s in so much pain he can’t even talk! When you were with Mr.

Thaddeus, his migraines didn’t come back for a long time, but now without you, it’s even worse! What

should I do?!”

“Alva, don’t panic, just listen to me.”

Evadne took a deep breath, her voice steady and methodical, “Go to my room, there’s a silver box in

the drawer next to my bed. Inside it, there’s a set of ma**aging tools I used to use to help Mr. Thaddeus

with his migraines. Underneath the box, there’s a notebook with detailed instructions on how to use

them and where to ma**age.”

“Okay, I’m heading there right now!”

“Also, Alva, Mr. Thaddeus got hurt tonight and he was hit by a tree branch on his back. He’s been

keeping it to himself as if it was nothing to worry about, but I know it must be bad. In my drawer, there’s

also an ointment for injuries, make sure you apply it for him. If it doesn’t get better in a few days, take

him to see a doctor, don’t let it get worse.”

“Got it, Ms. Ilana.” Alva wiped her tears, feeling her heart ache.

This girl really took good care of him, how could Mr. Thaddeus let her go?

“There’s one last thing.”

Evadne fell silent for a moment, then said softly, almost as though sighing. “Tonight, I’d appreciate it if

you don’t mention anything related to this call to Mr. Thaddeus. Please.”
