Chapter 77
“Thaddeus, when the hell are you going to stop treating me like this?” Evadne angrily said, “You’re being so freaking annoying; it’s like you’ve got no manners at all, you get that? I didn’t dodge the responsibility for you getting beaten up. I sent Jason to talk to you. Now what’s your problem?”
“You wanted to settle this privately, right? I’m giving you that chance.” Thaddeus tried to keep his breath steady, his voice slightly shaky. “Come out to meet me, and we can put the whole thing behind us. Call it quits.”
“You!” Evadne gasped in anger.
Was this really Thaddeus? So stubborn and headstrong, was he out of his mind?
“Fine, I’ll meet you. But stick to your word, let’s settle this privately!”
Having said that, she hung up the phone in rage.
Just as Evadne left, the butler called Suri over and said, “Suri, there have been two cars with the license plate a7777 parked outside for quite a while now. There are also two men in suits standing beside the cars, looking at our house constantly. Do they pose a threat? Should I activate the security alarm?”
Suri frowned, thinking about her response: “Don’t do anything for now, and don’t tell the master either. I’ll handle it.”
“Yes. Suri.” The butler nodded and left.
Suri quickly called Myra and Aviana for an emergency meeting in the hallway.
“We’ve got a situation here tonight.”
“A situation?” Myra blinked her clear eyes, looking somewhat puzzled.
“Spill it Suri. Don’t keep us hanging.” Aviana was impatient.

“That annoying dude Thaddeus is here, right outside our house, probably here to cause trouble for Evadne.” Suri lowered her voice and her eyes were cold.
“What? That heartless bas t ard has the audacity to show up? I’m going to teach him a lesson!”
Aviana rolled up her sleeves and was about to leave when Myra used all her strength to hold her back.” Aviana, chill! We can’t alert Emeric and risk exposing the secret!
“I can’t just stand by while Thaddeus shows up at our doorstep!”
Aviana’s eyes reddened with anger. “Evadne has suffered so much because of him. Now he’s forcing her into a divorce, stripping her of her dignity at such a young age! How can our family tolerate his behavior? You guys might tolerate it, but I won’t!”
“We won’t either! But Evadne has repeatedly told us not to get involved. If you beat him up now, you might feel better, but it’ll only cause more trouble for Evadne and make her more upset! What Evadne wants is not this endless drama and she wants to cut all ties with the Abernathy family and have nothing to do with Thaddeus anymore.” Suri held onto Aviana, urgently saying.
“I think Thaddeus might not be ready to give up on Evadne.” Myra slightly furrowed her brows, saying worriedly, “I’ve heard about Thaddeus’ personality. He’s a cold and ruthless man who has never had a girlfriend other than Ms. Acacia. He’s as stubborn as a rock.
It’s not like he has to drive all the way from Elmsworth to Skyrim to see Evadne. So I’m wondering could he regret divorcing Evadne?”
“That Thaddeus! He’s nothing but a villain!”
Aviana clenched her fists and said, “He’s too cold-hearted to feel regret. Even if he did, it’s too late! Seeing him makes my skin crawl!”
“I noticed Evadne sneaking off earlier so she must be meeting Thaddeus.”
Suri, the most thoughtful and deep of the three women, smiled and said, “You stay home and keep an eye on Emeric and cover for Evadne. You wanted to vent your anger at Evadne, right? I’ll make sure you’ll have an easy win tonight!”
It was the start of autumn, and the temperature had dropped recently, so the night wind in Skyrim was rather chilly.
Gordon shivered in the cold, watching his boss stand in the cold wind like a statue, determined and alone. He decided not to turn back until he saw Evadne, so Gordon had no choice but to stick with him.
Thaddeus had been waiting for a long time, but he could handle it. He used to stand at attention for a whole day in the army, so a few hours were nothing.
It was just that his heart was hanging in the balance.
He was afraid that Evadne would change her mind at the last minute and refuse to see him. What would he do then? Knock on the Ashbourne family’s door?
What reason would he have to knock on their door?
Thaddeus’ heart was racing, and he felt suffocated. He took out the last cigarette from his pack.
Just as he lit up the cigarette and was about to take a puff, the sound of a woman’s footsteps approached him.
“Thaddeus.”
Thaddeus’ heart pounded as he looked at his expressionless, icy ex-wife. His hands shook, causing ashes to fall from his cigarette.
Evadne glanced down at Thaddeus’ feet.
Seeing cigarette butts littered on the ground, she couldn’t help but frown. “Didn’t you quit smoking? What’s going on?”
“Because I’ve been waiting for you for too long.”
