His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 296

The next morning, Evadne was still in a daze, barely awake.

Suddenly, she bolted upright in bed, her eyes wide open!

The room was a blend of black, white, and grey. The air was filled with an aroma that seemed to calm her nerves and relax her body.

"A man's room, Avery?"

The realization hit her like a sucker punch, causing a sharp pain in her head.

She remembered arguing with Thaddeus last night, but everything else was a blur, like missing scenes from a drunken night.

Her heart pounded in her chest as she quickly got up and left the room.

Downstairs in the kitchen, Avery was dressed in a pristine white shirt, sleeves rolled up to his elbows, preparing breakfast for Evadne.

The warm morning sunlight filtered through the window, casting a soft glow on his handsome face, making him look like a beautifully colored painting.

He often cooked without wearing an apricot.

He never wore the same suit twice.

"Mr. Avery."

Upon hearing Evadne's cold voice, Avery looked up, his eyes filled with warmth, "Good morning, Evadne How do you feel?"

"Mr. Avery, last night?"

"Evadne, we agreed, didn't we? Call me Ave."

Avery's voice was tinged with mild annoyance, his hands never ceased their work, "You fainted in my house last night due to low blood sugar and emotional stress. Don't worry, I didn't touch you while you were sleeping in my room."

"I know." Evadne massaged her temples, exhausted. She was no innocent girl.

She wasn't sure about the low blood sugar, but she did remember feeling terrible last night. Memories she'd rather forget still haunted her, causing an unbearable pain with the slightest touch.

She hadn't expected such a violent reaction, enough to make her faint.

"Breakfast is ready, Evadne. Come and eat," Avery gently urged, arranging the dishes neatly.

It was as if they were a newly married couple, with the husband cooking breakfast for his sleep-loving wife.

"I'm not hungry. Thanks for the offer."

Staying overnight at a man's house she barely knew was improper enough, so she wouldn't have breakfast here.

She wasn't that kind of woman.

"Thank you for your hospitality. I have to go."

Then Evadne bit her lip nervously and headed for the door.

Avery's heart clenched as he followed her, "Evadne, did I upset you?"

"No, I'm just not comfortable spending the night at a man's house I barely know, let alone having a meal. It's not my style," Evadne replied, her voice distant and her smile perfunctory.

Avery's heart ached. Why was it that Thaddeus could get so close to her, even hold her, but he couldn't even have her for breakfast?

Just then, Evadne's phone rang. It was Cassius.

"Hello, Cassius."

"Evadne, Arnold, Aaron, Jason, and I are outside Avery's villa," Cassius's voice rumbled like distant thunder.

Without saying anything more, he conveyed a sense of both security and pressure.

"Cassius, I'm fine. You guys are really making a big deal out of this." Evadne rubbed her throbbing temples, picturing the army of cars outside.

"A big deal? Evadne, you spent the night at another man's house! We were all worried!" Arnold's voice was hoarse from shouting.

"Evadne, did that Chambers boy touch you? Was it consensual or did he trick you? I've got handcuffs ready for him!" Aaron was ready to burst into action, assuming the worst.

"Calm down! Everyone, calm down!"

Evadne hurriedly put on her high heels and rushed out the door.

Outside, a fleet of luxury cars had surrounded Avery's villa.

"Miss Evadne!"

Jason was the first to rush to her, his hands gripping her shoulders, his eyes filled with tears, "Are you okay? Did Avery do anything to you?"

"Who dares to mess with me? Aren't they afraid of the Ashbourne Group wiping them out?" Evadne thought they were all overreacting.

"Evadne!"

Her three brothers also crowded around her. Seeing that she seemed normal and her clothes were in order, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Cassius, Arnold. Good morning."
