His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 399

Thaddeus didn't delve deep into this, his mind was preoccupied with her smoke allergy, he was both guilty and upset.

"I'll call Gordon to deliver. Or maybe he can cook it himself. His culinary skills may not match Mr. Jason's, but it's decent enough."

Thaddeus noticed Evadne was barefoot, her pale and tender feet exposed without shoes. With a frown, he easily lifted her by her slim waist.

"What are you doing?" Evadne grabbed onto his broad shoulders in panic.

"How can you be so careless? The tiles are cold, you shouldn't be barefoot."

Thaddeus gently sat Evadne on the table, knelt before her, and warmed her feet in his hands.

So warm, all the warmth she knew well.

Evadne closed her eyes in comfort, not daring to be too obvious.

"Alva once told me that a woman's feet are important. You mustn't catch a chill, or it will bring illness in later years."

Thaddeus looked at her with a mix of concern and reproach. "Don't do this again."

"But I was in a hurry!" Evadne felt chastised and retorted.

Thaddeus raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile on his lips. "In a hurry? Afraid I'll run off?"

Evadne's cheeks reddened, her toes curling in his palm.

"You were unconscious. How could I leave you behind? I won't go."

How could he bear to leave?

He wanted to stay by her side every night, to reside in her heart.

Thaddeus gently caressed her slim legs, slowly stood up, held her waist, and kissed her forehead.

But that could never satisfy him. When it came to her, he was never satiated.

The temperature of Evadne's skin was rising, her cheeks flushed with bashfulness.

Despite everything they had done, she was still shy when he approached her.

Just as Thaddeus' lips were about to touch her soft skin, the doorbell rang.

He didn't want to answer it, yet it kept ringing!

Buzzkill!

Embarrassed, Evadne pushed Thaddeus away. "What's going on? Who could be ringing the doorbell? Only my brothers know this place, and they all have the passcode."

"It's Gordon."

Thaddeus was getting a headache recalling his clueless secretary. "I told him to come here if there's news."

"What news?"

"News about Elspeth and the murderer."

Evadne's eyes brightened, she couldn't wait to jump off the table.

The next second, she was in the air, lifted by Thaddeus!

"You haven't put on your shoes. It's best not to touch the ground with your feet."

Evadne's eyes widened, shocked by his strength. Only Emeric used to carry her like this when she was little, but she was much lighter then.

Hormones were flying.

With Evadne's protests in the background, Thaddeus opened the door.

"Mr. Thaddeus?"

Gordon was surprised to see Thaddeus holding Evadne like a child, both looking disheveled as if they had just woken up.

Oh my God. Oh my God!

Gordon was shocked, his mind racing, his face turning red, and his jaw almost dropping!

Could it be, this dream couple had finally reconciled? Could he finally rest in peace?

"Thaddeus, put me down!" Evadne was so embarrassed she didn't know where to put her face, she grumbled in his ear.

"Ms. Evadne, may I let him in?" Thaddeus looked at her, gently asking.

In front of Gordon, Evadne had no choice but to nod, despite the anger in her eyes.

"Ah, can I come in too then?"

Another familiar voice lazily chimed in.

Both Thaddeus and Evadne were taken aback, seeing Jareth had appeared behind Gordon!

He was grinning, his eyes squinted, his smile wicked and irritating!

"Congratulations."

"Congratulations on what?" Thaddeus glared at him.

"Congratulations on finally not having to stand outside." Jareth said, giving Evadne a meaningful look.

Evadne was speechless.

Thaddeus frowned, "You, say what you need to say, or get out."

"I do have something! I wouldn't come otherwise, can the lovebirds let me in?" Jareth asked cheekily.

Thaddeus said, "Come in."

Evadne said, "We are not lovebirds!"

Ignoring her, Jareth brazenly entered.

Thaddeus put Evadne down and personally helped her put on her shoes.

Evadne quickly put some distance between them, but her actions made her look guilty.

The four of them sat in the living room, Thaddeus sat next to Evadne, so close she could hardly breathe. As he tried to put his arm around her waist, she dodged him.

Thaddeus couldn't help but chuckle, he played with her hair when she wasn't looking.

She’s so petty, not the passionate woman from last night.

That was when Evadne found out that Thaddeus had sent Gordon to track Elspeth.

And Jareth had followed because there was important news, they were all eager to report to Thaddeus.

"Did Elspeth meet with Ward?" Thaddeus asked with a dark gaze.

"No, with all the attention right now, Elspeth wouldn't dare meet Ward. That would be like walking into a trap, announcing to the world that they're in cahoots."
