Chapter 385

Why did he come here to discuss this with her?

Why did he apologize to her?

What she wanted from him was never an apology. It was something else that he had never been able to figure out!

Disappointment and shame coursed through Evadne’s body, making her shiver with anger.

She wasn’t usually the type to cry, but for some reason, at that moment, her tears wouldn’t stop falling.

Avery had never seen Evadne lose her composure like this. The once quirky, confident girl was nearly being destroyed by Thaddeus. “Evadne, please, stop crying” he pleaded.

In front of Thaddeus, Avery opened his arms and gently embraced the distraught Evadne.

Feeling weak, her head rested on Avery’s shoulder, quickly soaking it with her tears.

Avery’s heart pounded faster, and a slight smile lifted the corners of his lips.

At this moment, his longing heart felt a sense of satisfaction he had never experienced before. He had never felt so content and happy.

The scene unfolding before Thaddeus dealt a crushing blow to him.

He staggered back, leaning against the wall, a cold chill spreading through his body.

“Thaddeus, aren’t you leaving?” Avery asked, his voice cold.

“If you genuinely feel sorry for Evadne, you should do as she wishes and remove yourself from her life entirely. Your presence only serves to reopen her wounds. She’s finally escaped from her misery, and yet, you persist in reminding her of how humiliated she was when she loved you.”

Thaddeus didn’t know how he managed to leave the hospital room.

The bruise on his forehead made his face appear even paler, as if all the blood had been drained from his body..

He didn’t dare to seek out Jareth now.

All he wanted was to find a quiet place where he could hide and be alone for a while.

Thaddeus walked heavily into the staircase.

He leaned against the wall, his tall body slowly buckling as if his bones were about to shatter under the weight. Suddenly, the door to the staircase opened.

A cold beam of light hit Thaddeus‘ sweaty face, and he quickly straightened up, hiding his disarray.

“Still not willing to leave? Thick–skinned, aren’t you?”

Avery appeared before him, his gaze cold and mocking. Are you still clinging onto hope after everything that’s happened? You saw what happened just now. The person Evadne needs now is me. But I should thank you. If it weren’t for your heartlessness, Evadne might not have been able to let go of you entirely and accept me.”

Thaddeus took a deep breath, not wanting to say a word to him. Just seeing Avery filled him with loathing.

Had this been in the past, he would have already fought this man who stole his beloved.

But did he have the right to do so now?

As Thaddeus prepared to walk past Avery without a word, Avery suddenly asked, “Why did you apologize to Evadne? What did you do to her two years ago?” Thaddeus paused, his eyes stinging.

Images of that night flooded his mind. They had been naked together, his hot lips brushing against her blushing earlobe as he whispered again and again how much he loved

her.

She had blossomed beneath him, her sweet moans and gentle acceptance.

Although Evadne never said the word “love” to him, he could feel that she still had feelings for him.
