His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 203

Evadne thought angrily,

Was that man still outside? What on earth was he doing?

Was he trying to pull a pity card? Did he think she was stupid enough to fall for such an amateur trick?

Evadne was about to turn back to her room in anger, but after a few steps, she stopped again.

The weather was not as hot as it was in summer. In the late autumn of Elmsworth, the temperature at night could even drop below freezing.

Thaddeus had been standing outside for three to four hours, and his clothes were thin. If he didn't leave and froze to death at the door, wouldn't she have to deal with the police? What a hassle!

Thinking of this, Evadne quickly returned to her room and picked up her cell phone to call Thaddeus.

But his phone was off!

Evadne was completely baffled by his behavior.

Thaddeus' pity act didn't move her. Instead, it aroused her curiosity.

So, she quickly went to the door, grabbed a large black umbrella, and walked out.

When Thaddeus saw the woman coming towards him, he thought he was hallucinating due to standing in the rain for too long and the exhaustion and cold.

It wasn't until Evadne stood in front of him that he realized what was going on. He felt a wave of warmth in his heart, and his eyes were filled with joy.

"What the hell are you doing? Can you stop?" Evadne yelled at him sharply.

"Aren't you cold, dressed like that?" Thaddeus asked instead of answering her question.

Thaddeus remained calm, trying to take off his suit to give to her but found that he was completely soaked. He had to stop awkwardly.

"Why did you turn off your phone?" Evadne asked angrily.

"My phone ran out of battery," Thaddeus answered honestly, like a henpecked husband being scolded by his wife.

He seemed to quite enjoy her harsh tone. He was like a man who liked a good scolding.

"So, you were planning to stand out here all night if I didn't come out?"

"Yes, I have something to tell you."

Evadne laughed in anger. "Thaddeus, why do you always seem so basic to me? Can't you come up with something more sophisticated than the pity card? You're the CEO of the Abernathy Group, not some thug, right?"

"As long as I can see you, that's all that matters." Thaddeus's voice was cold, but his eyes were too bright to ignore.

Evadne was so angry she was panting. Her thin clothes were also getting wet, and his gaze on her was getting deeper.

Good thing he had the self-control of a soldier, or else who could resist such a tempting sight?

"Couldn't sleep tonight?"

"What?"

"I remember you never used to wake up at night. You always slept straight till morning."

Evadne's heart jolted, and her grip on the umbrella tightened.

Back when they were newlyweds, they used to share a bed for about half a year.

Even in the same bed, Thaddeus only gave her his back, as if there was a huge canyon between them.

She knew that Thaddeus was a light sleeper, but she didn't expect him to pay attention to her.

"Weren't you saying you had something to tell me? Say it quickly. It's freezing!" Evadne started to shiver.

"Let's talk in the car."

Thaddeus took the umbrella from her hand and quickly opened the car door, pushing her into the car without hesitation.

Once in the car, the air was filled with the smell of dampness.

Under the dim light, Evadne noticed that Thaddeus's thin lips were slightly trembling, and his hand resting on his knee was starting to turn a bit purple.

She pursed her lips. Suddenly, Thaddeus took out a blanket and wrapped her tightly in it.

"I found out who's been pulling the strings behind the scenes. It's a woman named Caroline, and her father is Keith Porter. You should understand why she's seeking revenge."
