His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 295

The dinner was a jovial affair, filled with laughter.

Avery had initially planned to open a bottle of his top–shelf red wine, but Mrs. Chambers insisted on Evadne drinking only juice, so Evadne spent the whole evening sipping on orange juice, grape juice, pineapple juice, and so on. It was enough to start her own fruit orchard

After dinner, Cindy escorted Mrs. Chambers away, creating an opportunity for Avery and his beloved to have some private time

Avery took Evadne on a tour of his mansion, showing off his collection of antique artifacts and paintings. There were paintings from the ancient times, and a vase from the royal family.

Each of these treasures could fetch exorbitant prices at auction!

Evadne stond at the table, leaning over the antique paintings with a magnifying glass, her almond eyes sparkling with appreciation.

“Do you like them? If you do, I can pack them up for you to take home,” Avery said, leaning against the bedpost, smiling at her.

She admired the paintings

He admired her

“Pack them up? You should know that each of these items are worth at least several million dollars, and they’re all authentic. Even ancient emperors would hesitate to give them away, and you want me to take all of them?”

Evadne straightened up, playfully looking at Avery through the magnifying glass, winking, “Are you a collector of antiques, or just a dealer? If you were truly an enthusiast, you’d be like Emeric. He wouldn’t even let anyone touch his collection, much less give them away”

Avery’s lips curled into a smile, his voice soft and enticing. I’m only generous with two people, you and Mr. Emeric”

Evadne’s heart fluttered, her lips parting slightly

Avery and Thad were completely different. One spouted sweet nothings, while the other could hardly say a nice word, even with a gun to his head.

“Emeric is quite greedy. If he knew you had such treasures and were so generous, he wouldn’t rest until he took everything”

“If Mr. Emeric likes it, he can have it. The only things I, Avery, have that can catch Mr. Emeric’s eye are these items, and I don’t mind giving them away,” Avery said sincerely “What about you? What do you want? Apart from getting a piece of the Chambers family’s pie, Evadne asked, her voice filled with implication,

Avery’s eyes were full of tenderness, his heart silently saying the word “you.”

“It’s snowing. Evadne,” he said out loud instead.

“Really?”

Evadne was thrilled, her eyes full of excitement, shining like the stars.

She adored snowy days. When she was a child, her mother used to hold her in the backyard to watch the snow, guiding her little hand to skate on the ice. “Let’s go see the snow”

Avery led Evadne to the balcony. As soon as the door opened, she was captivated by the beautiful scenery.

The snowflakes fell all around, as if someone was tearing up cotton and flinging it into the air.

“It’s so beautiful!” Evadne exclaimed, looking up at the night sky.

Avery quickly took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, bundling her up. His voice was so tender, it was almost unrecognizable, “The snow is beautiful, but it’s not good if you catch a cold.”

Evadne felt the chill dissipating, replaced by the warmth radiating from Avery’s coat.

She turned her head, and her eyes met Avery’s heated gaze.

“Your glasses have frosted over, can you still see the snow?” Evadne asked seriously

Avery was slightly taken aback. Then he smiled, his eyes full of affection for her.

He thought, “Evadne, do you know? In Helgen, there’s a saying: “If you want to marry her, watch the first snowfall of winter with her

Evadne, her face rosy from the cold, reached out to catch the falling snowflakes.

Avery’s eyes deepened, and he felt an overwhelming urge to hold her hand and never let go

Just then, her phone rang, breaking the moment

Evadne glanced at the screen, her expression changing slightly

The name “Thaddeus was still significant in her eyes

When Avery saw it was his romantic rival calling, his gold rimmed glasses flashed with a hint of coldness as he softly called out, “Evadne ”

Evadre’s eyes dimmed slightly, but she still decided to answer, “Hello”

Instantly, Avery was filled with disappointment.

And his heart was filled with hatred for Thaddeus

At this moment, Thaddeus was staring at the brightly lit window, unaware that Evadne was behind it. His voice was deep and hoarse, “Evadne, it’s snowing. It’s the first snowfall of the winter in Elms worth

“Yeah”

Evacne’s face was expressionless, “So why did you call? Is there something you need?”

Thaddeus was speechless for a moment. Then he gathered his courage and asked sincerely “Can I invite you to watch the snow tonight?”

“Mr Thaddeus, are you a fish? Do you only have a seven second memory? Evadne asked, raising an eyebrow

I’m not

“What’s our relationship? Do you think it’s appropriate?

It’s more appropriate than Avery”

Thaddeus‘ words were filled with bitterness

Evadne felt both angry and amused, “Hmm, I don’t think so

“Evadne, I won’t leave until I see you tonight,” Thaddeus stubbornly declared.

“If you don’t leave, I won’t leave here tonight,” Evadne retorted stubbornly.

“Evadne, are you trying to kill me?

Thaddeus stared at his red eyes, clutching his chest as if he was having trouble breathing, “Are you going to stay at Avery’s house tonight? Do you know what you’re doing?” Evadne felt a surge of anger.

She walked to a corner, away from Avery, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice. “Mr. Thaddeus, I appreciate that you saved my life last time. But that doesn’t mean you can use that to coerce me into doing something I don’t want to do”

“I just want to watch the first snowfall of winter with you, that’s all

“But I don’t want to! Thaddeus, I don’t want to at all?”.

Evadne shouted uncontrollably, her overreaction frightening Thaddeus.

Avery couldn’t help but stride quickly behind her, his hands gently gripping her trembling shoulders

“Evadne, what’s wrong? He whispered in her ear, his voice like velvet.

Every word was heard by Thaddeus!

Evadne closed her eyes, which were now flushed pink with emotion, her body shaking uncontrollably

In her mind, she was taken back to Christmas Eve two years ago.

It had been the first snowfall of the season in Elmsworth.

A car accident, blood and their child, not even two months old

She had experienced unbearable pain as she was cruelly torn away from her child, whom she never got a chance to meet.

And what was Thaddeus doing at that time?

He had traveled abroad for his childhood sweetheart, just to spend Christmas Eve with her.

Before passing out in the hospital while visiting her grandfather, Evadne had managed to call Thaddeus.

But all she got in return was a cold busy tone.

Evadne gasped for air as if she were drowning pain washed over her like a tidal wave, threatening to engulf her.

Suddenly, everything went black. She felt her body sway, struggling to maintain balance.

“Evadne!”

Just as she was about to fall, Avery scooped her up into his arms, his eyes dark with fury. Thaddeus stood alone in the snowy wilderness, a layer of snow covering his head and shoulders.

He was waiting prepared to stay the whole night if needed.

Suddenly, the gate of the mansion opened.

Thaddeus felt a jolt of hopel

However, the next second, his heart sank

The person who walked towards him, his face pale and stern, was Avery

“Where’s Evade? Thaddeus clenched his fists, staring intensely at Avery

Avery pushed up his glasses, a cold smile on his face, his eyes filled with the arrogance of a victor, “She is spending tonight at my place. She won’t be going back, and she certainly won’t be joining you for a walk in the snow. She’s resting now. If you have any decency left, you should leave. I need to go back to her.”

Thaddeus felt as if he had been struck by lightning his voice was low and strained, “Avery, you’re quite pleased with yourself, aren’t you? You can win Evadne’s heart because of your manipulations and schemes!”

“So what if I am?”

Avery’s eyes were wolf–like, ruthless and unmasked, completely different from his usual self. I’m willing to do whatever it takes for the woman I love, and I have no regrets Unlike certain people, who pretend to be saints but are actually scoundrels Pretending to be a romantic hero in front of Evadne

“Avery Thaddeus bellowed, his throat tasting more and more like blood NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“in the three years of your marriage to Evadre, as far as I know, you never spent a single holiday with her, did you? The first Valentine’s Day, the second Christmas, and Ms Acacia’s birthday you were always with Ms Acacia, weren’t you?”

Avery laughed mockingly “On such a romantic night as thus, you should be with your Ms Acacia Coming here to see Evadne, aren’t you just humiliating her?” Thaddeus fare turned pale, his chest felt as if it had been crushed by a giant wheel

“Thaddeus, as a fival and competitor, I investigated these things because I care for Evadne I will protect her and won’t let history repeat itself.”

Avery’s eyes were devoid of humor, chilling to the bone, “Get lost A man as filthy as you inside and out has no right to be with Evadne.”

Avery left, leaving nothing but silence

Thaddeus, standing alone in the snow secmed frozen, unable to react for a long time

Suddenly he doubled over, covering his mouth

“Ugh!”

His eyes widened his palm felt warm and wet

Then, thick droplets of blood fell onto the snow, blending with the white carpet underneath

When Avery returned to the mansion, he didn’t rush to visit Evadre, who was still unconscious

“Thadirut, you really have made my night”

Avery, his eyes

“Mr Chambers, what can I do for you?

Look into Thaddeus recent health. Find out if he has any illnesses or injunes, which hospitals he’s been to, and report everything to me
