His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 431

Deep into the night, Elmsworth's suburban prison.

Ever since Ward had met Evadne and Thaddeus, he had practically spent countless nights in insomnia, constantly chewing over the words Evadne had said to him.

That little witch, with her silver tongue, had proposed a deal that was too tempting to resist. Even if it was a sham, he was tempted. But he despised the couple too much. He hated their perfect beauty and their wealth. One was the rising star in Elmsworth's business world, the other was the brilliantly talented heiress of the city's richest family.

Just thinking about it was enough to get his blood boiling!

Moreover, he blamed his current predicament on Evadne and Thaddeus! So he harbored a frustrated rage in his heart, wishing that Elspeth could continue to keep them in check from the outside, continue to torment them, even turning this golden couple into a pair of fugitives!

For a few days, Ward's life in prison wasn't comfortable, but it was uneventful. However, for the past few days, he couldn't shake off the feeling of being watched by a pair of sinister eyes, making his spine tingle, even disturbing his appetite.

Tonight, he lay on the dirty smelly bed, still feeling a chill run through his body, tossing and turning.

Just as he was about to fall asleep from exhaustion, he suddenly heard a rustling sound, very close! The sound was very faint, and if it wasn't for his years of mercenary experience, anyone would have missed it!

Just as Ward was about to get up, he felt a cold breeze from behind him. He hastily turned over, but it was already too late!

“Ugh!”

In the next moment, an intense, terrifying pain spread throughout his body!

In the darkness, he saw a man in the same cell stabbing a sharpened toothbrush handle into his neck. He stared in terror, and could even hear the sound of blood flowing in his throat.

“Die.”

The man said just the word, and viciously pushed the toothbrush deeper.

Ward was shocked to the core, clutching the man’s arm, “Who are you?”

“I have no grudge against you; I'm just a hired hand."

A hired hand?! A name flashed through Ward's mind - Elspeth!

After returning from Country T, Thaddeus didn't rush back to the group to handle daily affairs, but obediently stayed at home to rest, as per Evadne's instructions.

Even during the countless nights when Evadne was sound asleep, he would sneak into the study to review documents and handle affairs. Only when the day was about to break, would he sneak back into bed, laying beside the woman who had captured his heart, tenderly kissing her from her forehead all the way down, and only then would he sleep contentedly.

That afternoon, Evadne took Thaddeus to the Ashbourne family hospital, with Mr. Larry personally conducting the check-up.

When they found out that Thaddeus's body was recovering very well, and the wounds on his shoulder and back were healing at an astonishing rate, Evadne jumped with joy and clung to him like a little koala, her face buried in his neck, and gave his warm skin a big kiss.

"That's great, really great!"

Evadne was oblivious to how wildly provocative her actions were. She was just happy for Thaddeus, and expressing her feelings. She didn't notice Thaddeus's reddened eyes, filled with intense emotions, the desire almost dripping from them.

He swallowed, staring straight at Evadne’s starry eyes, "Yes, it's great, Evadne." With that, he leaned in close to her ear, his breath hot, “I've been waiting for this day for a long time. If I had to wait any longer, I think I'd go crazy.”

Feeling the seductive undertone in his words, Evadne’s heart pounded, her cheeks flushed, her lashes fluttering.

“Ahem, congratulations, Mr. Abernathy, on your speedy recovery. I have some things to do, so I'll leave you two to rest in my office. Make yourself at home; I'm taking off!"

Mr. Larry, a father of three, knew all about young people's little games. If he didn't make himself scarce at this point, it would be a serious lack of tact.

“Wait! Mr. Larry, I have some things to discuss with you; I'll come with you!” Evadne, her face flushed, tried to extricate herself from Thaddeus's arms, but his strong hands were holding her waist, making it impossible for her to get away.

“Oh my! Ms. Ashbourne, you're Dr. Eve. I have a lot of medical issues that need your expertise! I’m so flattered!” Mr. Larry said, making his way out of the office, the door almost about to close.

“Let's learn from each other; wait for me!” Evadne pushed Thaddeus away and tried to follow Mr. Larry, looking like a little rabbit that had just escaped from a tiger's mouth. In the blink of an eye, she had left the office with him.

Thaddeus watched the closed door, a fire in his eyes, suppressing his desire, a bitter smile on his face.

When they returned to the villa, it was already late at night. As soon as they walked through the door, Evadne hadn't even changed her shoes when she was swept off her feet by Thaddeus, who couldn’t wait to carry her upstairs at a brisk pace.

“Hey! Put me down!” Evadne, wide-eyed with surprise, wrapped her arms around Thaddeus's neck. Her slender legs swung back and forth; her red high heels fell off her feet and tumbled down the stairs.

“No.” Thaddeus pecked her on the nose, his breath shaky with suppressed desire, making his voice husky, “Evadne, let's see what excuse you can come up with this time.”

“Excuse, what excuse?” Evadne's eyes sparkled, her cheeks flushed.

“My body has fully recovered, and by my calculations, you're not on your period.” Thaddeus swallowed, his eyes turning red with desire, “Let's see how you're going to reject me this time.”
