Chapter 118
Thaddeus was standing by a sleek, ck Ferrari, his tall and straight posture as dignified as a pine
tree, radiating an air of elegance.
While waiting, he nced at the house number with a twi nkle in his eyes.
Silveke Harbor was the property Emeric had bought for his wife, Evadne’s mother. The mansion was
a one-of-a-kind luxury. Its value was simply priceless.
It was named after Evadne’s mother, Silvana Waverley. So, she chose to use the alias “na” to
apany him.
As Thaddeus was lost in his thoughts, the front gate suddenly opened.
Hearing the noise, he quickly averted his gaze. His shoulders were tensing slightly.
Evadne stood on the steps, shielding her eyes from the sun and watching Thaddeus.
That day, he wasn’t dressed in his usual three-piece suit but wore khaki trousers and a light blue jacket.
He looked clean, handsome, and noble.
Evadne had never seen Thaddeus dressed like that. Normally, he was as meticulous as a drama lead,
but that day, he seemed casual yet deliberate.
He was very good-looking. But it was a shame that he had a terrible character.
As Evadne came closer, she was still wearing her house slippers due to the rush, her light steps
revealing an unspeakable cuteness and appeal.
Thaddeus lowered his gaze, staring at her feet, a warmth spreading in his heart.
“Staring at my feet for what? Never seen slippers before?” Evadne’s toes wiggled ufortably in her
slippers, her face sour.
Thaddeus squinted, “You always wear high heels; I really haven’t seen you like this.”
“Ha, your observation skills are cra p.” Evadne scoffed, “For the past three years, I’ve been walking
around you like this almost daily, but you say you’ve never seen. I know I was invisible to you, but
there’s no need to mock me now that we’re divorced.”
In an instant, Thaddeus’s heart seemed to stop, his face turning dark.
Yes, he remembered. Every time he came home, she was always the first to greet him.
Back then, she would run to him lightly, holding a spat, her smile always kind and gentle.
He used to scoff at that but looking back, he found it precious.
“Let’s talk in the car.” Thaddeus took a deep breath, opening the car door.
“Let’s talk here.” Evadne was firm.
“So, you mean we should talk inside your house?” Thaddeus urately caught her weak point, taking
a step closer to her.
“Thaddeus, don’t push it!”
As soon as Evadne finished, he reached out, grabbed her slender wrist, and wordlessly pushed her
into the car.
His actions were smooth and efficient.
In the blink of an eye, Thaddeus was already in the driver’s seat, and then, the car door was locked!
“Thaddeus, we’re just talking; why lock the doors?” Evadne yanked at the door handle, but it wouldn’t
budge.
“It’s necessary to lock the doors while driving. Plus, I’m afraid you’ll bolt.”
As soon as he finished, Evadne suddenly felt a little woozy, her panic rising.
Thaddeus leaned in, his nose almost touching her nose and his eyshes seeming to brush against
her eyelids.
“What are you trying to do?” Evadne was nervous, pushing him away.
But Thaddeus grabbed her hand, whispering, “Evadne, don’t move.”
Then, his left hand wrapped around her waist, slowly pulling up the seat belt to buckle her in.
Evadne bit her lip, yanking her hand back as if she’d touched something dirty. “Where are you taking
me?”
“You agreedst night that you’d go to my house to pick up your stuff today.” Thaddeus released her,
then firmly gripped the steering wheel.
“I was definitely going to go today; there was no need for this!” N?velDrama.Org owns all content.
“I don’t trust you.”
Thaddeus started the car, looking up at her, “You’re too good at lying and deceiving. From marrying me
three years ago to now, how many times have you lied to me? Have you ever told me the truth?”
“Never?” Evadneughed coldly, “If you say so, I don’t care.”
Thaddeus felt a chill in his heart, as if a bullet had pierced through it.
Sometimes, he really wished she had never had feelings for him, then he couldfortably justify
everything he had done.
The Ferrari zoomed down the highway, the scenery retreating quickly.
Since she couldn’t escape, Evadne decided to sit quietly in the car, arms crossed, adjusting the
backrest to restfortably.
Out of sight, out of mind, especially regarding a certain person.
“I apologize for that.” Thaddeus’s grip on the steering wheel tightened.
“Which thing.”
Evadne found that Thaddeus had changed after the divorce. From being as stubborn as a mule to then
frequently apologizing. Did Acacia enroll him in some special course?
“I didn’t know Cas sius was your brother before.”
“Oh, the innocent have nothing to fear. I forgive you.” Evadne was indifferent.

“But why didn’t you exin?” Thaddeus looked at her soft profile pa**ionately.
“If I said I had nothing to do with Cas sius back then, would you believe me?”
He swallowed hard.
Evadne shook her head. “The world is always full of malice towards girls. If I wasn’t Cas sius’s sister, if
I was really just na, you and many others in this world would only see me as a shameless, vain little
tra mp.
Other than the people I love and the ones I care about, I don’t care what others think of me.”
Thaddeus’s face turned pale instantly, his grip on the steering wheel tightening, making a small noise.
Did that mean she no longer loved him or cared about him?
He thought nothing was wrong, but he felt extremely suffocated.
They sat there in the tense atmosphere for a while, until Thaddeus suddenly asked, “Your two brothers
are named Cas sius and Arnold. So, is your other brother named Elvis Waverley? Taking your mother’s
surname?”
“Thaddeus.” Evadne suddenly opened her eyes, her face cold. “You’ve crossed the line by digging into
my family.”
Thaddeus lips parted slightly, but before he could say anything, Evadneunched into him. “You keep
pushing me, and the only reason I’ve been keeping my cool is because I’m thedy of the Ashbourne
family and I was brought up with elite education. I’m a well-mannered person, and I don’t want to argue
with you and make a mess of things. But if you poke your nose into my family again, no matter who you
are, I won’t sit back and ignore it. You better watch out!”
Thaddeus’s lips tightened. His slender fingers gripping the steering wheel. “I didn’t go out of my way to
find out about him. Last time I met him, his appearance and movements all felt familiar. Later, I looked
through old military academy graduation albums and found his picture. That’s when I remembered we
were schoolmates.”
Evadne, like an angry child, turned her head to look out of the window,pletely ignoring Thaddeus.
Thaddeus nced at her, picked up his phone, and dialed Gordon’s number, hitting the speaker button.
“Hello, Mr. Thaddeus, what can I do for you?” The voice on the other end answered promptly.
“Get Evadne a pair of high heels. Choose a pair that suits her from brands like Christian Louboutin,
Jimmy Choo, and Manolo hnik. Deliver it to Windermere Estate.”
Evadne’s eyes widened in surprise, slowly turning to look at Thaddeus’s calm face.
Those were all her favorite brands.
“Yes! I’ll go get it for Mrs. Abernathy right away!” Gordon’s voice was ecstatic, like he was about to get
married.
Thaddeus lowered his gaze to her feet, his eyes deepening. “Get size 36. Don’t get it wrong.”
