Chapter 211
Jareth’s eyes bulged in disbelief as he looked at the striking pair that resembled an epitome of beauty.
At first nce, Thaddeus’s words seemed harmless. But paired them with his intense gaze and deep
voice, it reeked of unrequited love
Well that was not right
Being in love stunk, but unrequited love just stunk!
Jareth cursed his luck for not having his phone with him. Otherwise, he would have snapped a picture
of Thaddeus’s lovelorn expression it would be fun to tease him and show him how pathetic he looked
Besides, you really have no memory”
Thaddeus’s handsome brows furrowed, his eyes burning with anger. T told you not to mess with
Marills, but you insisted on testing the boundaries of out. Do you think getting pped three times is
unfair? I think it’s too lenient. I should p you every time see you
Us?
A strange feeling surged in Evadne’s heart. She felt ufortable with Thaddeus’s famrity
He used to avoid her like the que fearing any association with her. How did he be so friendly?
Mr Thaddeus, watch your words. You are you, I am 1. Don’t limp us together, Evadne said coldly,
turning on her heel to walk towards the bedroom, Otherwise, I feel insulted” Thaddeus awkwardly bit
his ip.
Jareth broke into a wide grin, “Hey! Your attempt to get close failed, huh? Serves you right!”
But he joy was short-lived
Thaddeus gritted his teeth and punched Jareth in his abs. The pain was so intense that he felt his soul
leave his body
Evadne rushed to the bedroom
Her mind was spinning with all kinds of scenarios as she walked the short distance. She dreaded what
she might see when she opened
If it was as she feared, Jareth would pay tonight!
Thaddeus wouldn’t be able to protect him!
Evadne barged into the room, only to stop in her tracks.
The room was serene nothing like the chaos she had pictured
The sweet scent of Maria’s perfume filled the room, and the soft light from the bedsidemp fuminated
Mari’s peaceful face as she slept. It was a picture of perfect tranquility Evadne walked to the bedside
quietly and knelt down, gently caressing Maria’s warm check
Seeing the teddy bear Mari was clutching, she felt a lump in her throat. Her eyes welled up with
tears.
She was a fearless woman who thrived in chaos, but this sight was too much for her.
Thaddeus waked in just then, and saw her crying. His heart clenched, and he struggled to swallow
Π
Evadne heard his footsteps and quickly wiped her eyes
Thaddeus cleared his throat and reached out to touch her wet hair
Dry your hair. It’s cold outside. You’ll catch a cold if you go out like this.”
1 don’t need your help ”
She stood up abruptly, eager to avoid any inappropriate contact with him.
Thaddeus’s heart was in turmoil. He couldn’t understand his actions or his feelings anymore
“Jareth didn’t do anything to Mari. You can rest easy. He might be a troublemaker, but he knows
Mari is my sister

“You cant trust men. Nether their words nor their actions”Evadne retorted coldly
Knowing that arguing with her wouldn’t help, Thaddeus turned and walked towards the bathroom.
He came back a few secondster with a towel
“Dry your hair before you go
1 told you, I don’t
Before she could finish. Thaddeus ced the towel on her head and started drying her hair
Evade froze. She felt her heart flutter,
This was Thaddeus? Was he the same Thaddeus who never even poured her a ss of water?
Why was he doing this for ber?
She was scared
“Stop it!” She protested, but her voice stirred Maria
The girl stirred in her sleep, but didn’t wake up.
?
you dont mind waking Mari, go ahead and shout,” Thaddeus said, a smile ying on his ips. He
continued to dry her hair, knowing he had her where he wanted Then, be gentle I’m already losing a lot
of hair, dont make it worse Evadneined, her cheeks reddening in frustration
I’m sorry, this is the first time I’m doing something like this,” Thaddeus said, his voice gentle. He
massaged her scalp through the towel, T be better next time
Evadne shivered. Thaddeus, this time I let you off for Mara’s sake. But next time, be ready to lose a
limb ”
Thaddeus chuckled His fingers moved in a soothing rhythm, rxing Evadnepletely. She felt her
body rx and her eyes close
Damn it, he was good. It felt so good
When they both stepped out of the room, Evadne looked like she had been crying, her eyes slightly red
Thaddeus nced at her, his gaze never leaving her
Jareth blinked at them, feeling a bit out of ce. They looked like they were still married, like a perfect
couple
“Jareth, you should go home. Mari is staying here tonight, Thaddeus said, it be easier for her to stay
here. take her home in the morning”
177
I stay here too, to keep an eye on Evadne,” Jareth dered
Jareth found himself reflecting on the drunken kiss he had nted on Mari that night. Although a kiss
couldn’t get her pregnant, he couldn’t help but feel that he had taken advantage of he brother’s sister.
He felt guilty and wanted to stay and look after her
“No way!” The ex couple voiced in unison
“Ms. Evadne!”
Jason took the phone and hurried back into the room. The security manager just reported that a
helicopternded on our hotel’s rooftop. No idea whose it is
“A helicopter?”
Mine Thaddeus imed without hesitation.
M: Thaddeus was out in Willow Brook City on business yesterday, hut upon your word, Mr Evadne, he
flew back himself!”
Gordon eagerly embellished the story for his boss, “Ms. Evadne Mr Thaddeus has never been so
attentive to any woman before
He believed that the reason why Mr. Thaddeus was so arduous in pursuing his wife was because he
was too reserved and shy, unable to express himself
If only ther boss had half of Jareth’s relentless and shameless persistence.
Thaddeus felt a pang in his heart, embarrassed, he curtly ordered, “Gordon, keep your mouth shut.”
“Hey, Mr. Gordon, you want me to sing praises for your master too?”
Evadne’s lips curled in cold amusement, “So if a good man does something wrong, it’s his true colors
showing If a bad man does something right, it’s a prodigal son returning?” Jareth giggled behind his
hand
Thaddeus was speechless.
“Maria is his sister. Him rushing back is a given, a basic decency, and is there anything to brag about?”
Evadne had no interest in entertaining this tedious master and servant duo and headed for the door
Jason gave Thaddeus a scornful sidelong nce, following Evadne out of the room
“Tch! Act like a shob Gordon grumbled under his breath, thinking Jason was nothing more than a
hollow show off
“But at least he knows what to say and what not to”
Thaddeus took a deep breath, shaking his head in disappointment, “Gordon, you’re good in all aspects,
except you talk too much”
“But, but I just wanted Mrs. Abernathy to know all the hard work you’ve done” Gordon mumbled
dejectedly, his ears drooping “She’s always known my struggles.”
As the words left his mouth, Thaddeus fet a sharp pang in his chest. Evadne’s kindness and affection
for him washed over him like a wave Just as he said, she had always known his struggles
But why, when she was so deeply in love with him, was he so oblivious”
The tumult of love and hate, the debt of love, were too heavy to bear
