Chapter 54

Evadne’s gaze was sharp as a dagger and full of indifference.

“Seems like Miss Acacia has been taking good care of you, Mr. Thaddeus. You’ve become even more

shameless.”

“Don’t drag others into our issues,” Thaddeus retorted angrily.

“Keep your distance if you don’t want to hear nastier words. Apart from the divorce proceedings, I don’t

want anything to do with you. Goodbye!”

Maybe because he had gotten used to Ilana’s expecting look over the past three years, her eyes

always sparkled when she saw him. But now, her eyes were as dull as a dud when she looked at him,

made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cave, his body gradually losing its warmth.

“I won’t let you go!”

Evadne sneered, “Just because you say so? Do you think I’m your pet dog, obeying your every

command?”

“You don’t have to belittle yourself, and I didn’t mean it that way.” Thaddeus frowned in displeasure.

“Belittling myself? Ha, Thaddeus, you’re too naive. Can’t you detect sarcasm? I’m telling you, I hate

you. Stop bothering me!”

Evadne’s eyes were red, trying to pull her hand from his grip.

But Thaddeus was a stubborn man. The more she struggled, the harder he held her, completely

disregarding the saying ‘cherish the fair sex.’

“Ah.” Evadne winced in pain.

She tightly clutched her right arm with her left hand, a thin layer of sweat forming on her forehead.

Thaddeus realized something was wrong and quickly let go of her hand.

He looked down to see a ring of blood in his palm.

He had touched her wound in his haste to take her away, forgetting that the injury on her wrist wasn’t

treated yet.

He was too careless.

“I’ll take you to the infirmary now,” Thaddeus said, his voice heavy and h oa rse.

“Leave now, or I’m calling the police,” Evadne growled.

“Ilana.”

“Get lost!”

Evadne had had enough. Her heart was like her hand, full of scars.

They were married for three years, and he didn’t care about her, not even touching her fingers.

Now that they were divorced, he came to pester her, even resorting to physical contact. Did he think

she had become less annoying?

How ironic!

Thaddeus was taken aback by her roar, his face turning pale.

“You’re telling me to get lost? When we got married, you insisted on it. Where was this tough attitude

when you were my wife?”

“Because I loved you back then,” Evadne said, her eyes red and swollen, laughing bitterly.

Thaddeus felt a pang in his heart, and his breathing became heavy.

“When I loved you, you could do whatever you wanted with me. Now that I don’t, all the good things are

gone. Don’t tell me you’re still foolish enough to think you can enjoy th benefits of our past relationship

after we’re divorced. It’s over, Thaddeus. I don’t love you, you’re worthless.”

Evadne lifted her chin proudly, turning away without hesitation.

“Ilana, do you think I would want to find you if it wasn’t for my grandfather? Do you know how much he

missed you? How anxious he was for not being able to contact you?”

Thaddeus’s eyes were also red and swollen. He retorted, “You always say you respect our grandfather.

Now what? Do you think he’s old and confused that you can easily deceive him?”

Evadne’s breath hitched, her fists clenched tightly.

Grandfather was indeed something she couldn’t ignore in her heart, and also a knot between her and

Thaddeus that couldn’t be untied.

Evadne was a woman who valued relationships and righteousness. She would keep her promises even

if she had to go through hell and high water. She promised to spend his birthday with him before getting

a divorce, and she would never break her promise.

Even if the process was excruciating.

“I didn’t go back on my word, and I’ll visit grandfather in a few days.”

“Now.”

“What?”

“Go with me to see him now. He hasn’t been able to sleep well for five days, and he can’t eat his dinner

without seeing you.”

Thaddeus’s patience seemed to have reached its limit. Even his breathing was filled with impatience,

“Don’t let him down, Ilana.”

In the end, Evadne gave in.

She indeed had ulterior motives when she took care of Hamilton at the nursing home that year. She

didn’t expect to marry Thaddeus at that time, and she just wanted to do something for him, to have

more chances to meet him.

Later, day by day, she fell more in love with this adorable older man.

Although Hamilton was old, he was sharp and wise. Even when he wasn’t at the helm of the Abernathy

Group, he still paid attention to some crucial decisions of the group. His occasional advice always

enlightened the young people of the Abernathy family.

And by his side, Evadne learned a lot of knowledge. She told everything she learned to Cas sius, which

came in handy when she was managing the hotel.

So, grandfather was not only her family but also her mentor.

Thaddeus accompanied Evadne to the infirmary. The doctor happened to be out, so she skillfully took

out a bandage to wrap her wound.

“I’ll do it.” The man’s face was cold as he leaned in.

She sidestepped, her expression frosty, “No need.”

Thaddeus was just as stubborn as her. He either wouldn’t care at all, or he would see things through to

the end.

So he grabbed her hand, his grip firm, his tone firm, “Ilana, behave.”

Evadne froze, the cold touch already coming from her wrist.

Thaddeus carefully treated her wound, the cotton swab lightly touching the wound.

His eyelashes were slightly curled, the lines of his wrist clear. When he exerted force, the veins on his

wrist subtly showed, contrasting with his skin, extremely good-looking.

Some people flaunted their charm intentionally, while some just stood there quietly, exuding charm

naturally.

Thaddeus was expressionless, carefully examining the wound on her hand.

Her hand was rougher than he had imagined, but it was as soft as cotton.

Her skin was delicate, but her fingertips were full of thin calluses, giving a sense of vicissitudes that

didn’t match her age.

Suddenly, a tingling sensation hit the depths of Thaddeus’s mind: blurry moonlight, fluttering curtains,

lingering figures.

All were unfamiliar scenes, but they all felt familiar.

Thaddeus took a deep breath to compose himself.

He never had such feelings for Acacia. Why would he have this awkward desire for her, his ex-wife who

always pushed his buttons?

It really made no sense.

Evadne felt the burning heat coming from his fingertips. Her heart also heated up for a moment, and

she quickly tried to pull back her hand.

Evadne: “That’s enough.”

Thaddeus: “Bandaging the wound.”

The man disagreed, holding her hand tightly with his fingertips, his eyes filled with a cold smile, “Have

you been doing heavy labor these past few days? Your fingers are so rough, all calluses.”

“No, I’ve been cleaning.” Evadne knew this man was very particular about cleanliness, so she

purposely annoyed him.

“Ilana, can you talk normally?” Thaddeus frowned.

“I am speaking normally; if you can’t understand, it means we’re not on the same wavelength.”

Evadne raised her nose, her eyes squinting into a line, laughing with a face full of slyness and

provocation.

Thaddeus felt a surge of anger, and this woman had become more and more lawless now that she had

a backer.

But he also found it intriguing.

He wouldn’t know that Ilana could be this lively if they hadn’t divorced.

Although Evadne was only slightly injured, Thaddeus was very experienced in treating it. Years of

affluent living didn’t make him a useless person who could only make money. She had her brother,

Bennett Waverley, check his background. Thaddeus had done very well in military school.

Occasionally, there was some competition. The only one who could match him was her brother Elvis.

In fact, in terms of cun ning and strategy, he was more suitable to be a secret agent than Elvis. He

could also take Bennett’s position. But as a son of the Abernathy family. only path he could take was to

become the heir of the Abernathy group.

However, after retiring from the military and going into business, Thaddeus made a name for himself.

Born smart, he was like a legend.

It’s just a pity that Acacia ruined his lifetime of reputation.

Evadne’s mouth twitched coldly. Never mind, if he wanted to find trouble, let him be.

She wanted to stay away from him, enjoy her freedom, and be beautiful on her own.

The two arrived at the parking lot.

Just as Evadne was about to get into her Bugatti, Thaddeus suddenly stopped her.

“Where are you going?”

“Where can I go? I’m going to get my car.”

“Get in my car.” Thaddeus was firm.

“See you, and I didn’t want to ride with you.”

Evadne waved her hand casually, but she didn’t expect Thaddeus to open the car door without saying

a word, his other hand fiercely pulling her waist, pushing her directly into the car, and quickly closing

the door.

“Hey! What are you doing?! Kidnapping me?!” Evadne’s face turned red angrily, beating on the car door

in protest.

“I don’t trust you, Ilana.”

Thaddeus leaned on the car roof with his left arm, bending over to look at her.

His half-closed eyes revealed a strange depth as if she was his captive bird, unable to escape.

“You’re full of tricks, and I have to be on guard.”
