His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1262

Hearing this, Evadne didn’t refuse again.

She knew that if she refused this time, there would be a next. Chad, though he appeared serene, was in fact deeply obsessive and calculating. When he set his mind on something, he would stop at nothing to achieve it.

Besides, to help Emeric recover, she had already accepted Chad's favor. Refusing such a small thing now would be overly dramatic.

…

At six o'clock sharp, the luxury car glided into Windermere Estate.

Evadne gazed out the window at the familiar scenery. Memories of her time here with Thaddeus when they were married flooded her mind—bitterness, heartache, and moments of happiness.

Her eyes quietly filled with tears. She lowered her lashes, hiding the sorrow in her gaze.

Suddenly, Evadne felt the man beside her pat her shoulder. Startled, she turned her head to see a clean, fragrant white handkerchief being offered to her.

“If I had known that returning here would upset you so much, I wouldn’t have arranged for a dinner at home.”

Chad stared deeply into her tear-rimmed eyes, his voice filled with gentleness and guilt. “Evadne, I’m sorry.”

Evadne…

Even his tone, so full of tenderness, was almost identical.

A jolt went through Evadne’s heart, not for the man before her, but for the one who was etched so deeply into her soul that he could never be erased: Thaddeus.

“Mr. Abernathy, I’m not emotional. Please don't misunderstand.”

She took a deep breath to steady herself, her voice cool. “Also, I would prefer it if you called me Ms. Evadne or President Ashbourne. It’s formal and befitting of my position.”

Chad paused for a moment, then a faint smile touched his lips, as if her coldness didn't bother him in the slightest.

“Alright. Whatever you wish.”

Tonight was supposedly a family dinner, but Mr. Frederic was away on a trip and not at home.

In the grand dining room, Chad sat at the head of the table. On his right was Evadne, and on his left was Sean, a guest of honor at the Abernathy Group, his face flushed with excitement.

“Securing the A5 Project was all thanks to your support.”

Chad elegantly raised his glass, smiling at Sean. “I hope we can continue to work closely together. I also hope you can lend your support to KS Group’s future projects in Elmsworth. I, Chad, would be eternally grateful.”
