His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 283

The group returned to Hamilton's Havenbrook mansion.

Hamilton was insistent, holding Thaddeus by the left hand and Evadne by the right, refusing to let go.

Hamilton not only kept a firm grip but also kept rambling on, criticizing Frederic and then Elspeth, never repeating himself. Evadne was worried that he might tire himself out.

After criticizing the couple, Hamilton started to dote on Thaddeus, calling his name affectionately and casually placing Thaddeus and Evadne's hands together.

Thaddeus couldn’t help but smile warmly at Evadne.

Evadne was not unaware of his gaze, she pursed her lips and chose to ignore him.

Seeing her indifference, Thaddeus could not help but grasp her hand.

Suddenly, her hand slipped out of his!

He looked up, just in time to meet Evadne's slightly annoyed gaze.

She glared at him, her expression fierce as if she was ready to tear him apart.

Alright, he failed to hold her hand.

But tonight, her mere presence was enough for him. He didn't dare to ask for more.

"Thaddeus, you should be really grateful to Ilana tonight. If she hadn't cared about you and informed me about Frederic's punishment, I wouldn't have been able to rush over so quickly!"

Hamilton said with a meaningful tone, winking at Thaddeus, "See, Ilana really cares about you. You should thank her for saving your life!"

"Evadne, thank you." Thaddeus said softly, his eyes gentle.

Evadne felt a shiver from his gaze, she chuckled, "Mr. Thaddeus, you should be thanking Marilla instead."

"Marilla?" Grandpa and Thaddeus were both taken aback.

"Yes, it was Marilla who called me and told me everything. That's how I knew to tell your grandpa."

Evadne's gaze turned cold again, "It was nothing, Mr. Thaddeus, don't think too much about it."

"If you told Granpa about this, it means you care about me, at least a little bit." Thaddeus didn't mind her denial, he was too persistent.

Evadne gave a sarcastic smile, "Think whatever you like."

"Ah, so that's how it was."

Hamilton couldn't help but sigh. "My granddaughter's so kind-hearted and virtuous. Although she wasn't raised by me, she was not spoiled by that wicked Elspeth. Whereas Glynnis, was spoiled by my naive son and learned nothing good from her superficially decent but actually vile mother, even almost landing herself in jail. I hardly have any hair left to turn white for her!"

"Marilla is a good girl. When I was living with the Abernathy family, she was always the closest to me, always kind to me.”

Evadne thought of Marilla and the three years she spent with Thaddeus, her heart ached faintly, but she looked nonchalant, "I guess if it wasn't for Marilla's companionship in the Abernathy family, I wouldn't have lasted that long."

Hamilton caught the unspoken words in her statement, he felt sorry for Evadne and gave Thaddeus a stern look.

Thaddeus' heart sank, filled with remorse and pain.

"Grandpa, there's something I want to discuss with you. I'm not sure if it's appropriate, if it's not, please pretend I never mentioned it." Evadne hesitated.
