His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 7

In the hospital ward.

Upon seeing Evadne, the previously feeble Hamiltion instantly perked up, his eyes lighting up.

"Ilana! Come here! Sit next to me!"

Evadne immediately complied, obediently sitting next to Hamiltion.

"Mr. Hamiltion, how are you feeling? Is there anything bothering you?"

"No matter how unwell I might be, just seeing you here makes me better!"

Grabbing her hand anxiously, Hamiltion asked, "Ilana, I heard from that jerk you're divorced, is it true?"

"Yes, we're divorced." Evadne's long eyelashes fluttered, a sense of loss in her heart.

"That fool! He let go of such a great woman. Does he think he can marry a goddess from heaven?" Hamiltion struggled to sit up, glaring at Thaddeus.

Concerned for his grandfather's health, Thaddeus didn't dare to answer.

"Mr. Hamiltion, don't be angry with Thaddeus. I didn't want to continue the marriage. Thaddeus and I... we are not on the same page anymore." Evadne gently comforted, patting his back.

Thaddeus' pupils slightly contracted.

She didn't complain or incite his grandpa against him. Was she trying to win him back with this unusual method?

Evadne, why are you so confident that I will be attracted to you?

"Ilana, were you mistreated in our home? Did Elspeth treat you poorly?" Hamiltion asked with concern.

"No. Thaddeus and I just had different views, we couldn't understand each other's hearts. Breaking up was the best outcome for both of us."

Evadne's eyes reflected a flicker of almost unnoticeable sorrow, "Mr. Hamiltion, don't blame Thaddeus. We had beautiful memories in the past three years. That's enough. We don't regret."

Thaddeus frowned slightly, a complex emotion welling up in his heart.

In his memory, he didn't have any beautiful memories with Evadne. He didn't even give her a proper wedding ceremony.

Just a rushed marriage registration under his grandpa's pressure, then she moved in with her simple luggage. She became his wife in name just like that.

Did she really find this beautiful? Or was it sarcasm?

"Ilana... Was I wrong?"

Hamiltion's eyes moistened, he sighed with self-blame, "I truly wanted you to be happy. I never thought that jerk would be so ungrateful. I'm sorry."

"Mr. Hamiltion, please don't say that. It's fate's arrangement. I have already moved on, really."

Thirteen years of deep affection, now put behind her. Only God knows how deep her pain was.

But since Thaddeus made such a firm decision, if she continued to cling on, she wouldn't even have her dignity left. She didn't want to become a bitter woman over a man's little bit of love.

"Mr. Murray, bring the birthday gift I prepared for Ilana!"

Mr. Murray quickly put on white gloves and brought over an exquisite red velvet jewelry box.

Inside the box was a flawless diamond bracelet!

Evadne knew her jewelry, and she could tell at a glance that it was an antique piece, at least a hundred years old!

"Mr. Hamiltion, isn't this your wife's...?" Thaddeus looked at the bracelet, his face suddenly full of shock.

"Yes, it's the love token I gave to my wife. It's an heirloom of the Abernathy family, passed down from my grandfather."

Hamiltion talked as he held up the bracelet to the sunlight, his eyes softened, "My wife told me before she passed away that out of all her jewelry, this diamond bracelet was her favorite. She hoped that I could give it to my approved granddaughter-in-law. She's gone now, and I want to give it to my favorite Ilana. Only you’re worthy of such a fine thing."

"Mr. Hamiltion, I can't, this is too precious. Besides, I'm no longer..." Evadne nervously declined.

"Even if you and Thaddeus aren't together anymore, you're still the only granddaughter-in-law I approve of!"
