His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1084

Thaddeus’s hand curled into a silent fist at his side, trembling slightly, the sharp angles of his face sinking deeper into shadow.

After a moment of tense silence, Chad ignored Thaddeus’s rigid expression, offering a light, almost careless smile as he brushed past him.

“Big brother, I’ve always respected you. Ever since we were kids.”

Facing away, Thaddeus’s voice came out rough and low. “There are things I can step back from, things I can let go. But some things, I can’t.”

Chad paused, his back still to Thaddeus, narrowing his eyes. “Like what?”

“I want to see her. Now.”

A glint flickered in the darkness of Thaddeus’s obsidian eyes as he spoke, his words deliberate and measured. “You have the right to care for her, and I won’t interfere. But you don’t have the right to interfere with my decision to see her, either.

If the two of you are truly together, you won’t need to say a word—I’ll never show up in front of Ms. Evadne again, and I’ll sincerely wish you both all the happiness in the world.”

But when he uttered the words “all the happiness in the world,” it was as if a blunt knife scraped his throat, leaving the sharp taste of blood in his mouth. “But until the day Ms. Evadne chooses to be with you, we stand on equal ground in front of her.

You can see her, and so can I. If my actions upset you, all I can offer is an apology.”

The deep, thick shadows swallowed Chad’s expression. His voice was unreadable.

“Thaddeus, do you still have feelings for her? You haven’t let her go?”

Thaddeus’s throat tightened, confusion flickering in his eyes.

“Thaddeus, we may not share the same mother, but search your heart—haven’t I always treated you well?” Chad coughed quietly, his voice dropping.

“You have,” Thaddeus answered, his breath catching in his chest.

He couldn’t help but recall the years of growing up together—the easy camaraderie, the warmth. Chad was four years older, and, as the saying goes, an older brother is like a father. When Thaddeus first arrived at the Abernathy estate, lost and unwelcome, Chad had been the first to show him kindness, to stand up for him when the staff looked down on him, to give him the comfort he so desperately needed.
