The name Thaddeus stabbed Evadne deep in her eyes, and her heart vibrated along.
"Should I answer the call?" Cassius asked.
"Answer it!"
Cassius calmly pressed the speakerphone, but didn't rush to talk.
"President Ashbourne, is my wife with you?" Thaddeus' voice asked hoarsely.
A rush of anger surged in Evadne, finding the word "wife" extremely annoying. "Mr. Frederic, watch your words, I'm your ex-wife now."
"Ilana, you really are with him." Thaddeus' voice dropped a few more degrees.
"What else? Do I have to stay at your house waiting to be kicked out?"
She was so sarcastic!
Thaddeus' face darkened, "You shouldn’t be so hasty. Our divorce proceedings haven’t finished yet. Without a divorce certificate, you are still my wife in name. You should consider the Abernathy family and your own dignity."
"You brought Acacia to live at Windermere Estate during our marriage and forced me to sign a divorce agreement. Thaddeus, did you consider my dignity when you did these things?"
Evadne sneered, continuing, "You never considered my feelings, why should I care about the feelings of the Abernathy family now? After all, I have given the position of the president's wife to Acacia. Go ask her for dignity!"
Cassius raised an eyebrow, picked up a glass of water and took a sip.
That's the real Evadne, the timid little wife who had suffered in the Abernathy family for three years was just an image she created for Thaddeus.
Although his sister was always perfect, he preferred the shocking, fearless girl.
Thankfully, she's back.
"I don't have time to argue with you now." Thaddeus' voice sounded tired, "Grandpa is sick, he’s in the hospital now, he really wants to see you, he even refuses to take his medicine.”
Evadne’s heart clenched.
Even though she and Thaddeus had gone their separate ways, his grandpa had always been kind to her during her three years in the Abernathy family. After the divorce, she could give up everything, but she couldn't leave the lovely old man who treated her like family.
"Is it at the Ashbourne group's hospital? I get it, I'll go see your grandpa right away."
After hanging up the phone, Evadne sighed deeply, full of worry.
"Evadne, let me take you there." Cassius said softly.
"It’s okay, I'm going to see his grandpa, not to provoke him. If you take me there, it will only intensify the conflict."
Evadne waved her hand with a deep look in her eyes, "I'll drive there myself."
Hospital.
Thaddeus and Gordon were standing outside Mr. Hamiltion's ward.
Evadne hurried over, and although she hadn't seen him for just a few days, she could tell at a glance that the man had lost weight.
Why should she care about him? Whether he is fat or thin has nothing to do with her.
It's so annoying!
It wasn't until they heard the sound of her high heels that the two men looked at her at the same time.
They were both taken aback.
Especially Thaddeus, he could hardly believe that this was his ex-wife.
"Mr. Gordon, how is Mr. Hamiltion?" Evadne didn't look at Thaddeus, only spoke to Gordon.
"Mrs. Abernathy, is that you?" Gordon was a bit stunned, asking a dumb question.
The lady in front of him had a beautiful face with delicate makeup, red lipstick, a black suit that made her figure even more graceful, her legs longer, the red ruby butterfly brooch on her chest was exceptionally dazzling, and her eyes were sparkling.
Evadne suddenly realized, she came in such a rush, she forgot to transform into the gentle Ilana in a white dress and sneakers.
"Of course it's me. What, don't you like my new look?"
"Of course not! Your new look is much prettier than before! And you look more confident and energetic." Gordon said honestly.
"Really? Maybe it's because I got divorced."
