His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 977

Evadne felt her stomach churn at the endearing words Avery spoke.

Avery gently rubbed her dry, cracked lips with his fingertips, his heart aching for her:

"You must be parched. Here, have some water first."

He picked up a glass, pressed it to her lips, and began to pour.

But not a single drop made its way into her mouth; instead, the water spilled out, trickling down Evadne's slender jawline and over her delicate neck.

"Evadne, you're being quite the rebel, but then again, that's just who you are."

Avery's eyes narrowed slightly as he took a sip himself, then his hand forcefully cradled her chin, prying her mouth open.

"Mmph—!"

Suddenly, his cool lips met hers, sipping, probing, bit by bit, transferring the warm water into her mouth.

Yet this wasn't enough for him; he lingered, unwilling to pull away, savoring the sweetness, his gaze gradually becoming intoxicated and hazy…

Evadne's eyes reddened with fury, her fists clenched tightly, her body shivering uncontrollably in his embrace.

She wished she could bite off the tongue that dared to invade her mouth. But Avery, as if anticipating her move, held her jaw so she couldn't close her mouth, leaving her powerless to resist!

Avery breathed heavily, reluctantly drawing away from her lips.

The next moment, Evadne spat out all the water in her mouth right onto his face!

"Evadne." Avery's cheeks were drenched, his expression darkening for a moment.

"You must be furious, right? Go on, kill me if you have the guts!" Evadne's eyes brimmed with tears, her voice hysterical.

Avery stared deeply at her, slowly wiping the water from his jaw:

"Evadne, you know I would never do that. But if you insist on this path, every day from now on will be a living hell for you."

"Avery...you're wrong."

Evadne's laugh was cold, her gaze sharp as a butcher's knife, "I never thought about running. I've been thinking about how to kill you."

"Then you better eat well, build your strength. Otherwise, how will you achieve your goal?"

Avery smirked again, reaching for a bowl of soup, "Eat up, and then try to kill me.
