Chapter 728

“Evadnel” Thaddeus‘ voice was laced with urgency.

Jareth, a man typically known for his towering presence and dashing looks, now slumped forward as if his bones had been siphoned from his body, on the verge of collapse under Evadne’s grasp.

“Jareth, you claim you’re keeping Marilla caged to protect her, but look at the mess you’ve made! You couldn’t even ensure her basic safety!”

Tears swelled in Evadne’s eyes; she was brimming with rage and heartache, “You think you’re so noble, sacrificing everything for Marilla. But what have you actually lost? It’s always been Marilla who’s losing.”

Thaddeus‘ breath caught in his throat as he watched his beloved stand in the pouring rain. Abandoning any attempt to shield himself, he stood beside her, soaked to the skin.

One was the love of his life, the other, a brother in arms. He couldn’t persuade either side, remaining neutral was the only stance he could take.

“Marilla gave up her freedom, her pristine reputation, to be with you. She could’ve been our baby girl forever, the pampered daughter of the Abernathy family, untouched by the world’s grime. But she chose to follow you in her prime, to give everything for you, to grow up swiftly for you, to learn to be the docile, dutiful wife!”

Under the weight of accusation, Evadne’s tears streamed down unchecked, “She’s tried so hard to please you, to accommodate you. She’s done everything she could to avoid troubling you! But after everything, why has it come to this?! What did Marilla do to deserve this bullying?!”

Jareth was faced with her piercing questions; his heart, riddled with countless fissures, ached to the point of trembling. His lips parted, but no coherent words formed.
