His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 960

Swans flapped their pristine wings, stirring ripples across Mirror Lake.

Mrs. Chambers, with her gaunt, almost ghostly visage, froze in disbelief. Her bulging, reddened eyes fixed on Evadne's resolute expression:

"You're... married? You have a husband? When did this happen... How is that even possible?!"

"Mrs. Chambers, I have no reason to lie to you, it's true."

Evadne tried to soften her tone, yet her stance remained unyielding. "My husband and I have known each other for over a decade. I've loved him since my childhood, always dreaming, always hoping, to one day be his wife.

Together, we've faced countless trials and tribulations, and now, we've finally united. My dream has come true.

Thus, there will be no other man in my life. I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"This can't be... It's impossible!"

Mrs. Chambers, teetering on the edge of hysteria, clutched Evadne's delicate hand until it turned red. "You and my Ave grew up together, you've always been so kind to him, and his heart has always been set on you. He wouldn't marry anyone else!

Ave told me everything about you two, he never mentioned... you were married!"

The more Evadne listened, the colder she felt, her heart pounding like a drum.

For so long, Avery had woven a tapestry of lies for his mother, a woman plagued by Alzheimer's, whose mental state fluctuated wildly—sometimes not even recognizing her own son. Why concoct such an elaborate falsehood?

Not even a well-intentioned lie.

Her lips, her body, her heart... would never betray her love.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Chambers, but no matter what you say, I won't choose Avery. Not just because I've never had feelings for him, but also because we're from two different worlds—light and dark."

Evadne's eyes blazed with an almost inhuman intensity. "Your son has hurt my loved ones, my love."

Memories of those Avery had harmed flooded Evadne's mind, her chest aching as she clenched her fists tightly. "How could I possibly be with such a man? I was born in the light, and I refuse to drown in darkness.

Mrs. Chambers, if you truly care for me, if you truly wish the best for your son, then I implore you to persuade him to turn himself in. To stop his descent into the abyss of sin. Otherwise, all that awaits him is utter ruin."
