His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 351

Evadne hadn't expected Thaddeus to carry her back to the room where she had lived alone for three years.

"What!"

Thaddeus had intended to set her gently on the bed, but the petite woman in his arms was as restless as a feisty kitten. She squirmed, his grip slipped, and she landed face-first on the bed.

Fortunately, Evadne's face was still in one piece, otherwise her nose would've been a goner.

"It's your own fault for wriggling. I didn't intend to drop you." Thaddeus looked down at her, a smirk threatening to break through at her current predicament.

"Men are always finding excuses for themselves!"

Evadne muttered angrily, attempting to get up from the bed. However, Thaddeus was quick to grab her ankle, leaning over her and trapping her beneath him.

"Let go of my foot! Are you some kind of pervert?" Evadne curled her legs, nearly flashing her undergarments. It was beyond mortifying!

Despite her struggles, Evadne's efforts were futile against Thaddeus. It was like trying to beat an Olympic athlete with playground games.

His grip tightened on her ankle as his gaze traveled from her flushed face, down to her cherry lips, her slender neck, and finally her alluring collarbone.

His breath hitched, his blood heated, and his heart pounded erratically.

Suddenly, a sharp pang of pain shot through Thaddeus' head. He clenched his eyes shut, pressing his palms against his temples to ward off the sudden wave of discomfort.

"Thaddeus, it hurts. It hurts so much. Thaddeus."

"Be patient, the pain will slowly subside."

"I'll be as gentle as I can with you, I promise."

Fragments of memories he had never seen before filled his mind, accompanied by sensual moans that made his face flush.

It was as if he had shared an intimate night with a woman in this very room.

But that was impossible. He had never been with any woman before.

Seeing Thaddeus distracted, Evadne took the opportunity to kick him in the stomach.

"Get off me!"

Although she didn't use much force, Thaddeus stumbled backwards, barely catching himself against the wall.

Evadne's eyes widened as she noticed his face turn pale and a thin layer of sweat forming on his forehead.

Just as she was about to say something, Thaddeus asked in a hoarse voice, "Why are you really here to see Elspeth?"

"That's none of your business." Evadne's gaze turned icy cold.

Thaddeus felt as if her gaze had pierced his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you're here to settle scores with Elspeth about Myra, I suggest you pick another day. Tonight is not the time."

"Why isn't it the time?"

Evadne raised her captivating lips, her slender waist straight, and her long legs crossed. She sat there, exuding an air of royalty and charm that was almost untouchable, like a queen. "Oh, is it because Mr. Barry, Mrs. Fairhaven, and Edith are here, and you're afraid I'll ruin your little party?"

Thaddeus frowned, "What party?"

"The one where you're courting, discussing marriage, and preparing for the wedding." Evadne's eyes were filled with mischief.

"Evadne! Shut up!" Thaddeus felt a pang in his chest, his eyes bloodshot with anger.

"Congratulations, Mr. Thaddeus, on your upcoming marriage."

Evadne completely ignored his anger, instead, her smile grew wider as if she was genuinely congratulating him, "This time, Miss Edith is young and beautiful, comes from a much more prestigious family than Acacia, and she is Jareth's sister. It's like a two-for-one deal. Mr. Frederic will surely be pleased with this daughter-in-law, and it will also boost your position in the company."

"Do you think I care about that?" Thaddeus felt as if he was about to explode.

"I don't care if you do or don't. Just stay out of my business, and I'll stay out of yours. I'm leaving."

Evadne had come tonight to settle scores with Elspeth, not to be bothered by this man. She just wanted to get out of this room as quickly as possible.

Being alone with him in this room was suffocating.

She was sensitive and empathetic, easily affected by her surroundings.

And in this room, all the memories of her three-year marriage to Thaddeus were unpleasant.

More importantly, it was in this room that she had lost her virginity. And this man, even now, still couldn't remember their shared history.

Perhaps it was better to forget.

Remembering would only bring pain.

Evadne stood up briskly, treating Thaddeus as if he were thin air, and made to walk past him.

Just as they brushed past each other, Thaddeus, his face as cold as ice, yanked her arm and pinned her against the wall with a force that was nearly savage!

"Ugh!" Evadne's vision swayed, her back aching from the impact!

And before her, Thaddeus' eyes were bloodshot, beautiful yet suffocating!

"Thaddeus! Are you out of your mind?"
