Evadne’s crimson lips parted slightly, her heart pounding in her chest, momentarily taken aback.

She had thought that their shared hardships on the battlefield and their mutual dependency in the face of death had made a significant impression only on her. Yet, she had not considered that Thaddeus too had been unable to forget, and had never given up on his pursuit of her.

Any other woman, with his ability, would not have been out of touch for so many years.

Regrettably, the “Paloma” he had been desperately seeking was none other than llana, the lady of the Ashbourne family, who was once wed to him.

After parting with him in Zenithia, Evadne had erased all traces of herself, especially when she was trying to evade her father’s scrutiny and avoid being dragged back to Skyrim. So, when she became a Doctors Without Borders volunteer, she had used a fake identity and a pseudonym.

Her whimsical and cunning nature had made it difficult for Thaddeus, despite his resources and influence, to locate her.

“Evadne, why aren’t you speaking? Did I say something wrong?”

Seeing her fall silent once again, Thaddeus panicked, softening his tone. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to upset you. I just wanted to express my feelings. Paloma was my lifesaver, and I had no ulterior motives towards her!

When Thaddeus said that, Evadne’s almond eyes shadowed over, her lips curling in a cold smile. “Yeah, back then, you were hot and heavy with Acacia In order to be with her, you repeatedly argued with your grandfather, even lost your appetite and spirit for her. How could you have had eyes for any other woman back then? Even Paloma, the woman who saved your life, you wouldn’t have seen her as a woman, would you?”

Each word was sharp as a needle, each phrase hitting a sore spot, each sentence piercing his heart!

Unable to bear it any longer, Thaddeus suddenly sat up, startling Evadne.

Their eyes met, his gaze burning into hers.

Evadne’s breath hitched, the cotton wool in her hand dropping as the man swiftly gripped her hand, squeezing tightly, making her slender fingers flush with discomfort.”

“Thaddeus! What are you doing, it hurts!”

“Evadne, I’ve made many mistakes in the past, and I deeply regret them. I’ve been repenting, and I’ve been trying to make it up to you. I know you won’t forgive me easily, or accept me, so I’m prepared to pursue you forever, until the day my heart stops beating.”

Thaddeus‘ voice was husky, his eyes filled with a deep resolute pain. “You’ve chased me for thirteen years, and I’ll chase you for the rest of my life. I always keep my word! Evadne, whether you accept me or not, you can’t get rid of me in this lifetime. I am yours!”

Evadne’s eyes widened in shock, her heart pounding in her chest.
