His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 89

It was a brutal storm, and lightning was tearing through the night sky. Evadne remembered that Thaddeus was standing right under a tree! What was worse, he was actually calling her in this weather. Was he trying to get himself killed?!

"Thaddeus, I'm not coming out to see you. Stop calling me and get home now!" Evadne's eyes were red with anger.

"If you don't come out, I won't leave." Thaddeus' voice was determined and deep.

"You crazy... jerk!" Evadne's face was flushed with anger. She cursed as she headed towards the stairs.

"Ms. Ilana! Ms. Ilana!"

No matter how Jason called, he couldn't stop Evadne.

...

Thaddeus held his phone tightly, and his brows knitted. He stared intently in the direction of the villa's gate, standing upright, not wavering a bit. Finally, the gate opened.

There was a gleam in Thaddeus' eyes, and his breath became heavy.

Evadne, wearing a coat and holding a large umbrella, walked quickly towards him. The wild wind made her hair fly. Her body was swaying as if she could be blown away at any moment. But her expression showed no fear, still tough as nails.

Thaddeus was surprised; he always felt like he had seen those eyes, shining like stars in the dark, somewhere before.

Evadne calmly walked up to him. She was from the Ashbourne family, had four outstanding brothers, and her father was Skyrim's richest man, worth billions. She was used to controlling other people's fates. When did she ever let a man affect her emotions?

"Thaddeus, are you out of your mind or just plain crazy? Aren't you afraid of getting struck by lightning?" Evadne became angrier the more she spoke, wishing she could bite him to death.

Thaddeus' eyes squinted slightly, and he asked in a low voice. "Do you care about me?"

Care?

Evadne took a deep breath and scoffed, "Don't flatter yourself. I only came out because I didn't want you to cause trouble at my doorstep. I don't want you dirtying my place."

Her words were harsh and hurtful. But even so, Thaddeus felt that this version of Ilana was much more lively and adorable than the woman who acted like a puppet.

Curiosity was the beginning of all emotions.

"Let's get in the car and talk." Thaddeus looked at her clothes soaked by the rain and said calmly.

"No need." Evadne firmly refused. "Whatever you want to say, say it now, and say it quickly!"

"Get in the car." Thaddeus was more stubborn, his brows furrowed, and he walked quickly forward.

Just then, a purple lightning bolt split the sky!

A loud thunderclap, a thick branch suddenly broke off and fell without warning!

The sound of the rain was too loud, and Evadne was completely focused on Thaddeus, so she didn't notice the danger approaching.

"Look out!"

She suddenly stopped, and the next second, she felt a wave of hot air rushing towards her. Thaddeus reacted quickly, opened his strong arms, and wrapped them around her, holding her tightly under him.
