His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 85

After Thaddeus spoke, even he was taken aback. He had no evidence, but he just assumed that Ilana was that kind of person. He even hoped Ilana was that kind of person, as if it would prove his importance in Ilana's heart.

"Thaddeus, are you perhaps a little too full of yourself?"

Evadne's heart ached a little, as she chuckled. "Honestly, I've never thought about getting back at you. Whether you've married Acacia, or even if you went all Emeric and married four, I wouldn't care. Because I think hating you is the most pointless thing in the world."

Thaddeus felt as if he'd been sucker punched. "Ilana...you..."

"Camille's orders are lined up till the end of next year, she's always been a stickler for her principles. Even if the leader's wife came, she'd still have to wait her turn. Maybe she wanted to get some payback for me, but I'm not so pathetic as to use a friend to get back at her. If I really wanted to, I could've slapped her a few times, so why would I go through all that trouble? You really don't understand me at all, do you?" Evadne's tone was somewhat teasing, a smile playing on her lips.

But Thaddeus thought her eyes looked dull and lifeless, devoid of any spark. It hurt him a little.

"Ilana!" As the two were at an impasse, a familiar voice rang out.

It was Cassius!

Evadne took the opportunity to break away from Thaddeus and almost jogged over to Cassius. He gently held her in his arms. "Sorry, I was held up. I'm late."

"It's okay." Evadne sniffled, her eyes glistening.

"He...didn't do anything to you, did he?" Cassius looked worriedly at Thaddeus.

Evadne shook her head. "Let's go home."

Thaddeus stood there for a while, then quickly followed. Outside, by the Rolls-Royce, Jason was waiting for them.

"I'm tired of these heels, sneakers are so much better," Evadne whined to Cassius.

"Jason, get the shoes I brought for Evadne."

Jason quickly retrieved a pair of sneakers from the trunk and placed them at Evadne's feet.

Just then, Thaddeus reached the door. He watched as Cassius knelt down on one knee, took off his ex-wife's heels, and helped her into her sneakers, tying them for her. More caring than he would be to his own daughter.

Evadne nonchalantly took a piece of chocolate from Jason's jacket pocket, took a bite, and smiled sweetly. “Let’s go. Let’s go home.”

Cassius took her hand and helped her into the car, which quickly sped off.

Thaddeus felt a gaping hole in his chest, an unprecedented sense of loss filled his heart.

His ex-wife, who used to wait for him day in and day out in their empty house, was now being pampered like a princess by Cassius. Cassius, the epitome of nobility, was willing to set aside his status for her, and his eyes were filled with love.

True love was not even wanting her to bend over to tie her shoes.

Seeing her being cared for so tenderly made him uncomfortable.

That night, Acacia used visiting Elspeth and Mr. Frederic as an excuse to follow Thaddeus back to Windermere Estate.

“Thaddeus, why did you suddenly disappear? You left me all alone. I was really nervous…"

They sat in the back seat, and Acacia wrapped her arms around Thaddeus, her head resting on his shoulder.

"Acacia." Thaddeus slowly removed his arm from her embrace, his voice cold. “In the future, when you see Ilana again, and she doesn't show any hostility towards you, don't bother her, okay?"

"Thaddeus... do you think I'm bullying her?" Acacia's eyes immediately reddened, her voice on the verge of tears.

"Isn't that the case?"

"I..."
