Chapter 342

“Evadne? What’s wrong?” Avery could, tell by the look on Evadne’s face that something was off, and he asked with concern.

“I just realized, I never blocked Thaddeus on my phone. So how come he’s on my blocked list?”

As she spoke, Evadne’s piercing gaze slowly moved to Avery’s innocent face.

“Evadne.”

“Did you do this?”

Evadne asked bluntly, “Apart from you, I haven’t met anyone privately tonight. Thaddeus told me he tried calling me all night but couldn’t get through because he was on my blocked list,”

Avery’s hands clenched in his lap, and a cold glint flashed briefly behind his polished glasses.

“I’ve been thinking, and the only time I left my phone was when I went to the restroom at the restaurant we were at. So, you blocked him then, didn’t you?” Evadne squinted her eyes slightly.

“Evadne, are you accusing me?” Avery’s eyes were as innocent and clear as ever

“I’m not accusing you. I’m stating facts.”

It seemed he wasn’t going to get any sympathy.

A massive feeling of loss descended on Avery, making it hard for him to breathe, “Evadne, I admit, I shouldn’t have touched your phone. But I didn’t want Thaddeus to ruin our date, and you have no idea how much I’ve looked forward to today. I was selfish, and no matter how try to explain it, it’s my fault. I’m sorry.”

“This is the last time. It won’t happen again.”

Too many things had happened tonight, and Evadne simply didn’t have the energy to argue with him about this, “Whatever is going on between Thaddeus and me is our business. I don’t want anyone else interfering. When we divorced, I didn’t even block him then, and I don’t want to say goodbye to him now in such a petty and boring way. After all, we might still have to cooperate in business in the future. As long as he’s dead to me, that’s enough. Anything more would just prove that I haven’t let go of him.”

Avery, who was initially worried, brightened up at hearing this, “Evadne, have you really let him go?”

Evadne’s eyes had been a deep red. She slowly nodded.

“I’m so glad, Evadne.”

A wave of excitement surged through Avery, and his hands seemed to have a mind of their own, “Evadne, now that you’ve let go of Thaddeus, could you give me a chance to pursue you? I want to be the man standing by your side, to shelter you from the storm. I may not have been part of your past, but I want to be in your future.”

“Ave, I’m not in the mood for a relationship right now. I’ve told you this before.”
