Chapter 350

Evadne’s face was aflame in an instant, her dainty waist twisting and her slender, alabaster legs kicking restlessly.

Her hands, which had been gripping the man’s collar, now transformed into fists, pummeling his iron–like chest. Her hands were sore from the punching, but for Thaddeus, it was like being tickled, and he was enjoying it!

“I told you to listen to me, but you didn’t. If you don’t behave, I’ll have to carry you.”

Thaddeus‘ long lashes lowered, his eyes cold, but with a hint of unrestrained affection flickering within them.

He couldn’t control it.

Was it still love if it could be controlled?

“Why should I listen to you? Who are you to me? I won’t listen! I won’t!” Evadne’s cheeks were flushed with embarrassment, and she struggled even more fiercely.

“Behave, or I’ll kiss you.” Thaddeus‘ Adam’s apple bobbed, his eyes slightly narrowed.

“Beast!” Evadne recoiled, biting her lower lip in fear.

Thaddeus lifted his thin lips and, with a sudden mischievous look, let go of her!

“Ah!”

Evadne squeezed her eyes shut, breaking out in a cold sweat. Her arms instinctively wrapped around Thaddeus‘ neck.

His expression remained frosty, but a hint of softness entered his eyes.

Thaddeus then dragged Evadne upstairs, leaving a crowd of people behind without a second thought.

This left the Fairhaven family with no place to hide their embarrassment.

But now that they had arrived, if the marriage negotiations fell through, it would be a disgrace. They’d lose face.

“Dad, what do we do now?”

Mrs. Fairhaven whispered anxiously to Barry. “Thaddeus‘ attitude is clear. He doesn’t want to accept Edith. He doesn’t even want to talk to us.”

“Grandpa. Are you just going to stand by while I’m bullied? I’m your granddaughter!” Edith cried pitifully.

Barry, maintaining the composure of a mature gentleman, would have already started hurling insults if he were any other man. And they would be very unpleasant! But he was losing his patience!
