His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 1065

Alexia knelt gracefully beside the coffee table, her movements deft and practiced as she performed the ritual of

serving tea. With a cold laugh, she said, "Honestly, I've known Thaddeus since we were kids, and I've rarely seen

him so down and out-so utterly defeated. | suppose today's a real eye-opener."

Chad's long, slender fingers lifted the steaming teacup. His voice was calm, almost indifferent.

"When Hans lost his memory in that plane crash years ago, | only gave him a single black pill to suppress his

emotions. But my brother? He dared to swallow three at once. That kind of nerve is almost impressive."

He took a slow sip, his gaze distant.

"If he didn't have such a strong constitution, he never would've survived it. For most people, taking that much

would leave them in a vegetative state."

Alexia's heart skipped a beat. "Does that mean he'll keep having these episodes?"

"For now, it only happens when he's emotionally triggered," Chad replied. "But eventually, the headaches will

becconstant. He'll have to rely on medication just to function-and that dependency will only grow stronger."

Alexia frowned. "Isn't that...basically like being addicted to drugs?"

Chad's lips curled in a secretive smile. "My brother has always been a hopeless romantic. Who would've thought,

even after three pills, he still can't let her go? Earlier today, | made it clear-right in front of him—that | intend to

pursue Evadne. He looked completely unbothered, but judging by tonight, it hit a nerve after all.”

He set his cup down, a glint of amusement in his eyes. “Looks like we can't let him quit the pills just yet."

Alexia hesitated, noticing the subtle cheerfulness Chad had worn since she'd entered. Unable to resist, she

probed gently,

"Sir, you seem to be in a good mood tonight. Did something happen?"

He chuckled softly. "Maybe Evadne is finally starting to give up on my brother."

"Giving up? That quickly?" Alexia was incredulous. "She used to love Thaddeus like he was her whole world. Are

you sure she'll move on so easily?"

Chad cut her off, his tone suddenly distant. "Tell me, Alexia-do you even know what love is? Are you capable of

loving anyone?"

"|..." Alexia's words caught in her throat.

She'd spent years by Thaddeus's side, her motives always tangled with ambition. He was handsome, brilliant-

how could she not be tempted? But if she was honest, she'd always loved herself more

At least, until she ended up stranded in a foreign country, penniless and alone, bullied and left to fend for herself.

She remembered the night she was dragged by a group of men into a filthy? the stench

Suffocating terror clawing at her. She'd almost lost everything-until Sir found her, saved her, gave her a new

identity and a second chance at life.

She had once been Thaddeus's "salvation." But for her, Sir was the one who'd saved her.

Alexia realized she could love. She always had just not Thaddeus. It had always been Sir.

She knelt at Chad's feet, lifting her delicate, flushed face to gaze up at him with adoration, her voice soft and

trembling,

"I can love. You're the one who taughthow."

"Is that so?" Chad looked down at her, amusement flickering in his eyes. "I'm not sure how that's

possible, since I've never learnet

how to love myself. But it doeso matter. Every drug needs a clinical trial. Love is no different."

His eyes darkened, the shadows of the night swirling within them. "My brother's

already proven that, hasn't he? Let's see if Ms. Evadne can be the test case."
