His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 364

Evadne was finally taken home by Avery, thanks to Jeff's arrangement.

Thaddeus was pushing Hamilton's wheelchair towards the parking lot, with Edith trailing behind him like a pesky little shadow.

"When are you going to stop following me?" Thaddeus suddenly halted, asking without looking back.

Caught off guard, Edith narrowly avoided crashing into him, stumbling awkwardly.

"I want to help you take Grandpa Hamilton home, Thad." she said with a pitiful expression, "He just got discharged from the hospital. I'm sure he'll need help."

"Help? What can you do?" Thaddeus retorted without hesitation.

"I've watched you grow up. I've seen how Mrs. Fairhaven and your brother have protected you. You've never even gotten your hands dirty. What could you possibly do?" Thaddeus scoffed coldly, not giving her any grace.

"Thad."

"You know who Grandpa Hamilton needs." He interrupted, his eyes softening as he thought of Evadne, "Go back and do your duty on Mr. Fairhaven."

With that, he wheeled Hamilton away, leaving Edith behind, flustered and disheveled.

On the way home, their driver took the wheel. Mr. Murray sat shotgun, and Thaddeus and Hamilton were in the back.

The car was warm, but Hamilton's frosty expression made it feel like they were in an icebox.

Thaddeus knew he was angry.

But the fact was, he and Evadne were divorced. Their irreconcilable differences were a fact too.

Thaddeus had pursued her relentlessly, even risking his life, but it hadn't been enough to earn her trust.

He wasn’t afraid of giving her love unilaterally, but what scared him most was that she had never trusted him.

Finally arriving at Havenbrook, Thaddeus got out of the car to assist Mr. Murray with the wheelchair, intending to help Hamilton into it.

"I'm not sitting in that damn thing. I'm not disabled. Why should I use a wheelchair?" Hamilton grumbled, shoving Thaddeus aside. He instructed Mr. Murray, "Mr. Murray, bring me my cane."

In no time, Mr. Murray had fetched the cane.

Hamilton took the cane, his white lips tightly pressed. Without a word, Hamilton swung the cane at Thaddeus' back.

With a thud, Thaddeus felt an intense pain on his back, his brows furrowed.

"Damn kid! What are you good for? Why don't you just drop dead!" Hamilton roared, taking another swing at him. "Ilana is a good girl! You were finally making progress with her. Why did you say those words? Why did you push her away? Are you brain-dead?"

Thaddeus took the blows silently. His handsome face looked utterly dejected under the moonlight.

"You're blind if you can't see how much that Chambers boy cares for Ilana. Can't you see how close they've gotten? Can't you see that Jeff wants Ilana to be his daughter-in-law?"

Hamilton kept snarling, "You've been getting close with that Fairhaven girl. Even if you're innocent, you should've done everything in your power to explain yourself to Ilana and show her your sincerity! You must hold on to her especially at this critical moment and never let her go no matter what the Fairhaven family try to do behind our back!”

Was he willing to do that?

Could he stand to see her with Avery and not do anything?

"Grandpa, I said those things. I did those things. You can hit me." Thaddeus clenched his fists, his eyes welling up, "When you're done, please rest. And please, let go of Ilana and me."

"Let go? You want me to let go?! So you can marry that Fairhaven girl?!" Hamilton was livid. He almost fell if Mr. Murray didn’t support him.

"Do I have to get married? I've been married once. That's enough. I don't care about getting married, and I don't like kids either."

Somehow, Thaddeus felt a sharp pain in his heart at his own words.

He liked kids. It was just if he couldn’t have kids with the woman he loved, the children meant nothing to him.

He wouldn’t guarantee that he could give 100% love and care for the children. That wasn’t fair to them.

"Why should I let go of such a wonderful girl?! Unless I'm dead, she'll always be part of this family, always my future granddaughter-in-law!"

Eyes red, Hamilton knocked on the ground with his cane, “Maybe to you, Ilana is just a woman you love, but to me, she’s not just a kid who is filial, but also the one who saved my life! Two years ago on the Christmas eve, if it weren't for Ilana, if she hadn't gotten me to the hospital in time, I wouldn't be standing here right now!"

Thaddeus’s eyes dripping with gloom, "I know, Grandpa Hamilton. You were hurt badly in the car accident. If it wasn't for Evadne."

"You only knew it was she who sent me to the hospital. But did you know how terribly she was injured?!"

Hamilton's voice cracked, eyes streaking with tears, "At that time I was in a coma, and you were all at abroad, unable to come back in time. There were only Ilana, and Mr. Murray with me! I didn’t realize how badly she hurt. She was covered in blood, but she made sure Mr. Murray didn't tell me or you because she didn't want us to worry!"

Thaddeus’ eyes contracted in astonishment.

The words made him felt like there was a knife twisting in his chest, and with one single touch, it’d be in shreds.

Mr. Murray, upon hearing these words, cast his gaze downward, sorrow etching itself into his features as he recalled past events.
