His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1109

Rumors that the Abernathy power couple had finally split grew more intense.

Thaddeus’s mood was dark. He left the party before it ended. Once in his car, he tore off the tie clip Alexia had given him with a look of disgust and tossed it to Gordon in the driver’s seat.

“It’s yours.”

Gordon caught it, confused. “What’s this, Mr. Abernathy?”

Thaddeus leaned back and closed his eyes, tugging at the Windsor knot of his tie, still feeling suffocated.

“A gift from Alexia.”

“Ugh! I don’t want some random woman’s trash!” Gordon said with a look of revulsion, tossing the clip aside. “I have a girlfriend. I don’t want her getting the wrong idea.”

“A girlfriend?”

“Beverly, sir,” Gordon reminded him.

Thaddeus, his eyes still closed, frowned. “Is she… of age?”

Gordon didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “She’s in college, Mr. Abernathy. Do you really think I’m that kind of person?”

Thaddeus was suddenly reminded of the girl, Beverly Higgins, whom he and Evadne had rescued together. The memory flashed through his mind, vivid and clear.

Just then, Gordon’s voice broke the silence.

“Mr. Abernathy, look!”

Thaddeus wearily opened his eyes. His heart lurched.

There, standing in front of the car, bathed in the stark white headlights, was Evadne. Snowflakes danced around her, whipping her dark hair about her face. She looked as if the wind might carry her away.

Thaddeus’s chest rose and fell. He opened the car door and walked toward her.

“Mr. Abernathy,” Evadne said with a faint, distant smile.

He saw that her cheeks were flushed red from the cold, a sign she had been waiting for some time. His lips parted, but no words came out. He remembered how she always hated the cold, how she would burrow into his arms day and night, using his hands as her personal warmers.
