His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 119

Evadne's long lashes flickered, and goosebumps sprouted on her skin.

"How did you know I wore size 36 shoes?"

Thaddeus kept his poker face, "They seemed small. I took a guess."

Evadne with her feet uncomfortably tucked in her slippers, retorted coldly, "With men, it's always either the hands or the eyes that are up to no good."

Thaddeus knew he wasn't being truthful. He knew Evadne's shoe size because he had carefully inspected all her stuff left behind at Windermere Estate.

So, he knew she hoarded snacks at home like a little hamster, with chocolate taking up the most space.

Her favorite perfume was 'fille de bel' from er ten. He had smelled it before but thought that its spicy, chilly scent didn't suit her. Then,he realized he was wrong. That thorny, proud, and beautiful scent was made for her.

He knew she wore size 36 shoes. Those little white shoes still neatly placed on the shoe rack, as if she could return at any moment.

That day, she had sadly said that he never really understood her.

So, he wanted to try understanding her again in that way.

They barely spoke during the two-hour car ride.

The Ferrari pulled into Windermere Estate, stopping in front of the main gate.

Thaddeus unbuckled his seat belt first before extending his hand towards Evadne.

Knowing his tricks, Evadne quickly blocked him with her arm and said coldly, "I can do it myself."

But, before she could act, Thaddeus had already unbuckled her seat belt and said, "No need to thank me."

She was taken aback. How did he move so fast? She didn't even notice!

She had heard that during his military academy days, he could assemble a handgun in just eight seconds. His hand speed was astonishing.

Fooling her was child’s play.

Thaddeus and Evadne entered the front door of the Abernathy family, and word immediately spread among the servants.

"Oh my God! Am I seeing things? Did Mr. Thaddeus and Mrs. Abernathy come back?!"

"She’s really here! Oh my, she's so beautiful! How could Mr. Thaddeus divorce her?!"

"What should we call her? Mrs. Abernathy or Ms. Ilana? I'm a bit confused."

"Let's just call her Ms. Ilana. If we call her Mrs. Abernathy and Ms. Acacia finds out, we're in big trouble!"

"You're right. Ms. Acacia is just a green-eyed monster, not as gentle as Ms. Ilana."

Those words reached Thaddeus' ears. His gaze darkened slightly as he glanced at Evadne next to him.

He heard it. She must have heard it too, but Evadne seemed to be pretending not to hear. Her indifferent expression made him uncomfortable.

"Where’s my stuff?"

"It’s still in your room, in the original place."

"You knew I was coming to pick them up today, but you didn’t prepare in advance. Have you gotten lazy?" Evadne frowned, complaining.

"Those are all things you value, so I didn't dare move them." Thaddeus said, looking at her.

Perhaps men are naturally masochistic.

When Evadne used to be obedient to him, he didn't care. She was then like a rose with thorns. Her words were sharp, and each sentence stung his heart, yet he wanted to know her more.

Evadne didn't want to make too much eye contact with him. She avoided his gaze and asked, "So what now? Do I go up and get it or will you send someone to pack it up for me?"

Just then, his phone rang.

Thaddeus remembered he had an important conference call. He apologized to her, "I need to take a call; I'll be back soon."

"Go ahead."

After Thaddeus hurriedly left, Evadne finally exhaled, her nerves relaxing.

The trip was awkward enough.

When she was his wife, she tried every means to create opportunities to be alone with him, but that cold man always gave her the cold shoulder.
