His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 632

Over at the bustling Ashbourne household, the family gathered around Emerio, showering him with attention and affection.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, two love–struck couples helped Myra as she prepared a feast. Myra’s culinary skills were legendary, and even when it came to something as simple as making taco, she infused them with a rainbow of colors red, pink, green, yellow – each hue bringing a unique flavor to the table.

“Myra, you really spoil my dad rotten,” Evadne teased, her hands deftly shaping plump, little dough pockets that resembled chubby golden coins, “It’s just taco, and you’ve turned them into a seven–colored spectacle. Is he trying to summon a god or what? Talk about high–maintenance!”

“Your dad loves it, it’s his favorite,” Myra sald with a sweet smile, “I thought since he’s eating, we might as well all eat together. Make a little party of it.”

“You, Suri, and Aviana treat Emeric like he’s the crown prince. In other families, it’s the men doting on the women, but in the Ashbourne clan, it’s all topsy–turvy,” Evadne snorted playfully, “Did Mom pamper him like this too? I can’t imagine she did.”

“Your mother adored taco; it’s her specialty. She always made them for your father, and he could eat them every day without tiring of them,” Myra recalled fondly.

A twinge of sorrow tightened Evadne’s grip on the dough, a pang of loss souring her throat.

Thaddeus sensed her mood shift and offered her a misshapen lump of dough, his earnest face seeking approval, “Evadne, how‘ about this masterpiece?”

“It’s a disaster,” she burst out laughing at the sight of the doughy blob, “What is that, a hacky sack or a meteor hammer? You’re eating that one, buddy. My life’s worth something too, you know.”

“Deal. I’ll eat it,” Thaddeus replied, relieved to see her smile.

In the back of his mind, however, he pondered the Ashbourne family dynamics. From the way they spoke, it was clear that Emeric had deeply loved Evadne’s mother, his first wife. His love seemed genuine, unlike the muddled affection Frederic claimed to have for his own wife. Yet, if Emeric’s love was as deep as the ocean, why would he remarry? It seemed like a contradiction.

“Jason, my taco looks terrible, way worse than yours,” Nydia pouted, embarrassed by her lack of skill.

“They look perfect to me. I’m going to eat every single one you make,” Jason said, his arms cautiously wrapping around her, his breath warm against her cheek as he whispered sweet nothings.

Their intimacy made Nydia blush as bright as the dawn. Jason, ever the gentleman, had shown his love and desire that one passionate night, his touch trembling with restrained emotion, proving it was his first time as well.

Myra continued making taco, seemingly oblivious to the young couple’s tender exchange. Yet, the small, knowing smile curling on her lips betrayed her delight. She knew that happiness for her daughter trumped any business alliances, family glory, or societal matches. After all, very few families could match the Ashbourne’s stature, and even then, it was like opening a mystery box – no guarantee of finding a treasure or a trinket.

Evadne’s thoughts were interrupted by Cassius, who rushed into the kitchen with news from the Chambers Group.
