Chapter 740

“Deaf?!”

Thaddeus‘ chiseled features remained impassive, but Evadne’s stunning eyes widened in shock, her voice bursting forth in excitement.

“Yes! Absolutely certain! I’ve got the diagnosis report right here… I’ll send it to you both straight away! Glynnis is still at the hospital. They say she’s completely deaf in her left ear and her hearing has significantly declined in the right. She’s already using a hearing aid!”

Gordon’s voice, filled with uncontainable glee, echoed around the room, “Mr. Abernathy, you’re too much! That wasn’t just a slap you gave her, it was like you unleashed the fury of the gods!”

“Gordon, you’re exaggerating,” Thaddeus scolded softly, his brows slightly knitted together.

Evadne, however, burst into laughter, clapping her hands in delight until they turned red, “Hahaha! That’s what I’m talking about! Karma at its finest! She spent her days mocking Marilla; let’s see her strut around now!”

Evadne realized Thaddeus‘ intense gaze was fixed on her, her laughter suddenly stopping, her cheeks flushing with a hint of shyness, “Uh, maybe I’m being a bit too…”

Her unfinished sentence was swallowed by his passionately invasive k*ss. Thaddeus held her soft b*dy gently in his arms, his large hand seemingly accidentally stroking up her bottom spine he found irresistibly alluring, his fiery k*ss lingering on her soft, vulnerable lips.

As she trembled in his arms, he released her with a playful timing, his thumb rubbing her flushed lower lip as he chuckled in a husky voice, “You were wondering if you’re being too wicked, hmm?”

Evadne, lost in the depth of his tender, stormy gaze, her eyes shimmering, breathlessly whispered, “Maybe I should be even naughtier.”

Thaddeus‘ hand returned to her waist, kneading gently, “Your wicked side drives me wild.”

Cheeks flushed with warmth, Evadne bashfully punched his chest lightly. But he was already breathing heavily, his eyes tinged with red, unmistakably stirred with desire.

The rogue, he wanted her again.

“Mrs. Abernathy! You should have seen Mr. Abernathy today; he was quite the hero!”

Gordon’s booming voice shattered the intimate atmosphere, “Mr. Thaddeus Abernathy took Mr. Frederic Abernathy along today, and in front of him and the entire staff of Windermere Estate, he dealt with Glynnis.

Mr. Frederic Abernathy tried to protect Glynnis for the sake of Abernathy pride, but Mr. Thaddeus Abernathy wouldn’t indulge her a bit. He not only banished her from Elmsworth
