Chapter 506

Thaddeus’s eyes widened, a tantalizing tingle coursing through his body.

His warm palm circled the nape of her neck, pressing gently, deepening their kiss without restraint.

The old lady running the food stall turned away to clean up her dishes, not wanting to understand too much of the scene unfolding before her.

And that sweet kiss brutally pierced Avery’s eyes and heart, wrenching his insides into a tight knot..

It was as if a bloody blade had cruelly sliced open his chest, filled with bitterness and sorrow, letting the blood flow like a river, a ghastly sight to behold.

Harvey, of course, saw it too and sighed in frustration.

But in this world, everything can be achieved through effort and cunning, except for love.

Mr. Chambers had given everything for this woman, yet Evadne still threw herself into Thad’s arms without looking back!

A fine flower nourished by nothing but waste!

As Evadne slowly pulled away from the fiery kiss, a blush tinged her cheeks and her voice was choked with emotion, “Thad, you’ve suffered. But it’s all over now, and ahead of us are better days.”

“Having you by my side, every day, I feel like I’m the luckiest man in the world,” Thaddeus said, embracing his beloved, his gaze filled with dream’s of their wonderful life together.

He wasn’t the romantic type, not great with sweet nothings.

But for Evadne, he was willing to learn from scratch.

Evadne leaned into his embrace, listening to his strong heartbeat, her eyes brimming with tears, unable to help but sniffle.

“Evadne, are you crying?” Thaddeus asked in surprise.

“It’s all your fault,” she murmured, her voice muffled against his chest.

Thaddeus’s heart skipped a beat as he asked softly, “What’s wrong? You feel sorry for your man?”

Evadne was too shy to speak, but the tears glistening at the corner of her eyes spoke for her.

“Silly girl, why the tears? I’m tough; I thrive when faced with adversity, it makes me stronger.”

Thaddeus couldn’t describe the mix of heartache and guilt, but there was also the joy and contentment of sharing a mutual understanding with the one he loved, “Evadne, do you know? Every day I count my blessings, thankful I didn’t die when I was young, thankful I survived my time in the army in Zenithia. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had the chance to fall in love with you.”

The night was clear, stars twinkling above as a gentle breeze caressed the silhouette of the couple huddled together, enveloped in a serene atmosphere.

Unbeknownst to them, across the street, a luxury car had been watching them with envy for some time.
