His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 334

Across the street from the K Group.

Avery leaned against the door of his sports car, hands tucked in his trousers, standing in the golden residual glow of the sunset, staring at the entrance of the K Group with a somber gaze.

These days, he had been waiting.

He was waiting for Evadne to reach out to him, even if they couldn’t meet, a simple message would suffice.

But his hopes were in vain, indirectly confirming one thing.

The woman he deeply loved, simply didn’t have a place for him in her heart.

Yet, he was certain that Evadne still held a place for Thaddeus. It was only the nightmare of divorce that lay between them. She just didn’t want to admit she still had feelings for Thaddeus.

At this thought, Avery’s gaze darkened as he adjusted his gold–rimmed glasses. His whole body seemed to radiate a chilling, icy aura that even the brilliant light couldn’t penetrate.

“Ave.”

Hearing the sweet call, Avery’s gloom dissipated, his smile as warm as a breeze.

“Evadne, you finally came.”

Evadne walked briskly to him, her hands behind her back, tilting her head to look at him, “Huh? Finally? Have you been waiting long? Haven’t you just arrived?”

Her demeanor was that of a cheerful and radiant young girl, the same as the girl who saved him from the darkness fifteen years ago.

Every time he saw her, he couldn’t take his burning gaze off her beautiful face, even though he was not the type of man to lust after beauty.

“I’ve been waiting for a long time, ever since we last met at Myra’s birthday party. I’ve been looking forward to seeing you.” Avery’s smile was tinged with a hint of bitterness, coupled with his slightly pale face, it gave off a pitiful sense of brokenness.

Evadne paused.

She then remembered that she had left in a hurry that day, without saying a proper goodbye to him and Mrs. Chambers.

It was indeed rude.

“I’m sorry about that day. You must know about the trouble that happened. It was a mess. I was worried about my family.”

“Evadne, you should apologize to me.” Avery suddenly turned serious.

Evadne was taken aback, “Huh?”

“You had such a big problem. Why didn’t you ask for my help?”

Avery stepped closer to her, his low voice husky with reproach, “Evadne, don’t you trust me? Do you think I can’t help you?”

“Ave, I didn’t mean that.”

“I just hate that I was a step late that day. I wasn’t as fast as Thaddeus, otherwise, I could have been the first one to protect you.” Avery’s breath deepened, his heartache evident in his dark eyes.
