His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 686

"Marilla!"

Jareth's stormy eyes suddenly sparkled as he rushed to Marilla's side, pulling her into a fierce embrace. His voice trembled with the residue of fear, "I'm sorry. It's my fault. I should've been there sooner. You've been through so much; you've been hurt. I'm such a damn fool! Hit me, go on, hit me hard!"

Everyone gasped in disbelief. Oh Lord! This wasn't the ruthless Mr. Fairhaven they knew; this was a man hopelessly in love!

What kind of magic did this girl possessed to bring the mighty Mr. Fairhaven to his knees?

"Jareth, why did you say those things about Aaron? Why?"

Marilla's autism made her more stubborn than most, and her insistence was unnerving, "Why did you say that about Aaron? If it weren't for him, I'd be dead! Aaron is my hero! Why would you say such terrible things? Why?"

Why? Why? A torrent of questions that would exasperate anyone else seemed to have no effect on Jareth, who still held her close, his gentle voice soothing her, a bit chocked up, "Marilla, you must have been so scared back then, weren't you? Terrified? I didn’t protect you."

"Aaron did nothing wrong. He risked his life to save me. Don't talk about him like that again, okay?" Marilla was single-minded; she wouldn't rest until this was cleared up.

Lily watched, feeling distress for Mr. Fairhaven. Mrs. Fairhaven was finally able to become emotionally steady, but due to this incident, she sensed a setback in her delicate condition after the accident.

With Marilla's relentless probing, Jareth didn’t dear to stir up her feelings anymore; he swallowed his pain hard and pleaded in a hoarse voice, "Honey, promise me, you won't look at any other man, just me. arilla, I'm the only one for you."

After leaving the hospital, Aaron headed straight back to the station. Having dealt with the aftermath of the case, he pulled up the records of Don and his daughter's previous complaint, including the files of the five bullies and all the statements.

The amount of information wasn’t overwhelming, but after reading through, Aaron was seething with anger for a long time.

Then Evadne called.

"Evadne," he tried to steady his breath.

"Aaron, how are you? You okay?"

Evadne's anxious voice came through, "We saw the news about Elmsworth Academy of Fine Arts, and we saw you on the scene in the video. Suri saw it too. She tried calling you, and when she heard that Thaddeus and I were nearby, she asked us to check on you."

"The perpetrator was caught on the spot. I'm fine, really."

"I don't believe you. Come outside and let us see for ourselves."

Evadne was stubborn, "We're right outside the station, and we need to see you walk out intact before we can report back to Suri!"

Aaron stepped outside the station and immediately spotted the luxurious Rolls-Royce parked across the street.

He felt so awkward, glancing around to make sure no one was watching before he dashed into the car like a thief.

"In the future, don't come find me in such a fancy car."
