His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 539

Emeric’s voice cut through the chatter, and suddenly everyone stood rooted to the spot and got enveloped in an unexpected hush. Evadne’s eyes went round as saucers, and her rosebud lips were parted in utter disbelief as she stared at her father.

“What did you just say?”

Thaddeus‘ chest heaved with barely contained emotion, and his eyes were a deep well of fervor as he gazed upon Emeric’s distinguished and handsome face. His breath hitched, and his heart were ticking down.

“You’re going to be dragging yourself home at the crack of dawn at this hour. If you’ve got nothing on the agenda tomorrow morning, why don’t you just crash here tonight?” Emeric said, giving out a soft rumble before he coughed discreetly to clear his throat.

This time, everyone heard him. Evadne heard him, and Thaddeus heard him.

A tidal wave of relief crashed over Thaddeus; he felt his heartbeat skyrocketing, and his eyes shimmering with unshed tears of gratitude. He swallowed hard and then bowed deeply,to Emeric.

“Thank you, Chairman Ashbourne, for taking me in.”

The words ‘taking me in‘ humbled this towering man, a scion of the top consortium in Elmsworth, to the dust.

Evadne felt a pang of sadness, hating to see him so diminished, and quickly stepped forward to help him back to his feet.

“Come on, it’s just for one night. It’s no big deal.”

“It is, Evadne.”

Thaddeus‘ voice was thick with emotion, and a hint of tears glistened in his eyes. “I’m overwhelmed. All the accomplishments of my life combined don’t measure up to the happiness and contentment I feel at this moment.”

To others, it might be a simple sleepover.

To Thaddeus, it felt like a new lease on life.

Emeric gave Thaddeus a meaningful look and then led the way into the villa.

“Jason, Does this mean my dad’s forgiven Thaddeus? Has he finally accepted him?!” Nydia, clutching Jason’s arm, whispered excitedly on tiptoes.

“I hope so. This might be acceptance.”

Jason’s gaze softened as he looked down at and he tenderly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “Any progress, even the slightest bit from yesterday, is a step in the right direction.”

Moved, Evadne cupped his chiseled jaw and pressed her soft lips to his in a kiss as if there was no one around them.
