Chapter 72
Chapter 72
Thaddeus was dealing with a headache, and his buzz hadpletely worn off. He’d never been the
one to initiate a kiss with a woman before.
The only two times it happened, it was Acacia who kissed him, and he only let her peck him on the
corner of his lips.
But he didn’t expect that this time, during his pa**ionate kiss with na, he was like a wild beast, unable
to control his desires. He couldn’t even understand himself.
“I drank too much tonight; I wasn’t thinking straight.” Thaddeus leaned back, feeling weak and pinching
his brows. “I can’t drink like this anymore; it’s too da mn risky.” “You’re just a drunken lecher! You forced
a kiss on my na! You’re a jerk!” Jareth was so pis sed off that he could do nothing but spin in circles.
If he wasn’t injured, he would’ve beaten the cr ap out of Thaddeus!
Under the influence of the strong liquor, he lost control over his emotions. But he had to admit that the
moment his lips touched na’s, the sweetness was unexpectedly delightful.
“I’m tired; get out.” Thaddeus said, his brows furrowed and his Adam’s apple bobbing slightly.
“Thaddeus, you’re heartless! You should’ve picked a better time to take advantage of her! na’s still
recovering from her injuries and she’s got stitches. How could you do such a thing while she’s injured?”
Jareth asked angrily, his heart aching for his sweetheart.
Thaddeus’s eyes widened, and his heart ski pped a beat.
Evadne rushed into the bathroom to freshen up, sshed cold water on her face, and then left the
hospital.
Her eyes were full of anger. They were already divorced; how could he kiss her? How could he treat
her like this?
So he behaved inappropriately after a few drinks? Did he just see her as an outlet for his desires?
That’s really low!
“Evadne!” At that moment, a tall figure rushed up to her and held her tightly.
“Evadne! I’m sorry. I came toote!” Cas sius’s eyes were moist, and his heart was aching for her.
“Cas sius, I’m okay.”
Cas sius knew about her shoulder injury, so he didn’t hug her too tight on the injured side. “Does your
wound still hurt? I can take you back to our hospital now; we’ll get the best surgeon to take another
look.”
“I really am okay.”
Evadne managed to calm her disrupted emotions. She took a deep breath, her eyes were cold and her
face pale.
“Where’s Elvis? Let hime see me!”
Evadne’s vi was buzzing with activity that night.
Cas sius sat by the table, sipping tea with an indifferent attitude.
Arnold and Jason stood by Evadne’s side; the two tall men looked helpless under Evadne’s strong
demeanor.
“Evadne, Elvis is your own brother; try to calm down.” Jason tried to defend Elvis, speaking softly.
“Elvis is a professional agent, and he knows how to control himself. He just wanted to help you punish
that jerk.” Arnold was a bit nervous, sensing Evadne’s anger.
“A professional agent? I think he’s more like a hitman!”
Evadne shot Arnold a cold look and said, “When you called me earlier, you were worried that Elvis
might harm Thaddeus. Has your attitude changed in just a few hours?”
“Oh! So you’re the snitch! Arnold, you backstabber!”
Elvis red at Arnold, gritting his teeth. “Just you wait, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
“What’s with the attitude? Evadne, don’t go easy on him. This guy deserves to be punished; you should
let him get his punishment!” Arnold figured he couldn’t persuade her anyway, so he might as well add
fuel to the fire.
Whatever happened, Elvis was going to be punished tonight, but Arnold still hoped he could get out of
this unscathed.
“Elvis! You have the nerve to scold Arnold? Are you still refusing to admit your mistake?” Evadne was
so angry that her brows furrowed.
“What did I do wrong? I beat up a bad guy for my sister; what’s wrong with that?” Elvis held his head
high, looking stubborn.
“You’re infuriating!”
Evadne was so angry that she mmed the armrest of the couch, but she moved too violently, and the
wound on her shoulder hurt. She winced in pain.
“What’s wrong. Evadne?”
“Evadne, are you okay? Don’t scare me!”
“Miss, are you alright? I’ll arrange for a car to take you to the hospital right now!”
Cas sius, Arnold, Jason, and Elvis all showed extreme concern and anxiety when they saw Evadne
seem to be in pain.
Elvis knelt down in front of her, carefully holding her delicate hand against his heart. His face went pale.
“Evadne! Is it your wound? It’s all my fault! You can hit me or scold me; I don’t care!”
“This time, do you really realize your mistake?” Evadne was panting, and beads of sweat appeared on
her forehead.
Elvis thought about how his sister took a bullet for him; he felt so guilty that it was physically painful.
“Evadne, I just care about you. I can’t bear to see my beloved sister get hurt by a jerk!
You’re the treasure of all of us and we’ve spoiled you since you were a child, We can’t let Thaddeus
hurt you! If he made you upset, he needs to pay!”
“Elvis, I’m going to say this one more time, and it’s thest time.” Evadne’s eyes were red, and she
spoke with a firm voice: “I married Thaddeus willingly; no one forced me. I knew he loved someone
else; I knew about his cold personality. I thought I could warm his heart with my love; I thought I could
make him fall for me, but I failed. Since I failed, I need to take responsibility for my choice. It’s not about
him; it’s about me. So, I won’t let you bother him anymore; I won’t let you hurt him!”
Hearing this, Elvis’s pupils contracted abruptly.
“Elvis, for me, it’s hard to let go. It’s hard to move on.”

Evadne sighed deeply, a hint of sadness in her eyes. “To be honest, I loved Thaddeus for so long; even
though we’re divorced now, he still holds a ce in my heart. Can’t we just chill out and put an end to
all this? Why are you stirring up a ho’s nest just as I’m trying to get my life back on track? All this
bickering and hurting each other, it’s getting us nowhere! Did you even consider how I’d feel when you
hit him?”
“Evadne! I screwed up! I really did! Please, can you cut me some ck and give me another shot? I’ll
do whatever you want! I promise I won’t go and mess with Thaddeus again!” Elvis pleaded with tear-
filled eyes.
He’d been through countless risky missions without a hint of fear, but now, faced with the fact that his
sister was dead set against forgiving him, he was scared out of his wits.
“Evadne.”
There was a mischievous glint in Evadne’s eyes as she pursed her lips slightly. “Well then, before you
head off in a couple of days,e home with me to meet Emeric. Let’s have a meal together.”
Cas sius and Arnold exchanged nces; no words were needed.
Elvis was far from keen on the idea, but if it would make his sister happy, he was willing to bite the
bullet.
“Alright! I’lle home with you!”Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
