His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1078

At that moment, Thaddeus caught sight of Evadne with Chad.

The scene before him—a woman laughing alongside a man—was achingly familiar. Once, moments like these had colored his own memories, back when his world wasn’t just black and white.

He used to watch her like this, too. Used to see her bright laughter, her playful mischief.

But time had marched on. Now, someone else stood by her side, filling the space that once belonged to him.

He was the one who’d ended things. He’d been the one to tell her not to waste her time with him, that she deserved better, that she should find someone else.

And yet, watching his brother so obviously smitten with Evadne, seeing how easily she smiled in Chad’s company, left a bitter taste on his tongue.

Thaddeus’s fingers curled until the tendons strained beneath his skin.

It felt as if he were holding a bee in his mouth—its stinger pricking his tongue, the faint, numbing pain spreading quietly through his whole body.

Lost in his thoughts, he didn’t notice the first few icy snowflakes drifting down, brushing against the hard lines of his face.

“Watch out, you two!”

Without warning, a heavy clump of snow tumbled from a trembling branch above, plummeting straight toward Thaddeus and Alexia.

A startled cry escaped Alexia, drawing everyone’s attention—Evadne’s and Chad’s included.

As the snow threatened to crash down, Alexia shrank away, instinctively pressing into the unmoving man beside her, seeking shelter.

At the last second, Thaddeus ducked his head and leaned forward, shielding them both as the snow landed, drenching them in white.

From Evadne’s vantage point, it looked as if Thaddeus were holding Alexia, protecting her. The sight was intimate—too intimate—and it pierced through Evadne like a shard of glass.

A rush of jealousy and ache welled up, stinging her reddened eyes and clawing at her throat.

In that moment, her heart felt as broken and ruined as the snow chunk shattered on the ground—smeared, scattered, utterly destroyed.
