Chapter 11 Evadne at this moment, casually tied her hair up with a simple hairband. She was wearing a sky blue long dress, the hem swaying with her dance steps, singing “Eternal Whispers” for Cas sius. Her eyes sparkled like stars, her charm adding a touch of glamour to the overall scene. After the performance, Cas sius couldn’t control his emotions, he started clapping, his face full of a beaming smile and spolling admiration. “That was awesome, your training from Father’s third lover really paid off. If this was ancient times, you would definitely win the king’s favor,” “I couldn’t care less about the king’s favor. If I were to do anything, I would be a queen and shine with confidence.” Evadne retorted immediately, her fingers cracking with resolute determination. Cas sius helplessly laughed. Evadne lowered her head, sitting next to her brother, her expression became gloomy when she thought of her father’s three wives. “Evadne, in these three years, they’ve all missed you, worried about you. They’ve all asked me about you privately.” “Cas sius, what are you trying to say?” “Evadne, when you left home to be a Doctors Without Borders in a foreign country, I know you were more or less throwing a tantrum at dad.” Cas sius gently wrapped his arm around her shoulder, a hint of sadness on his handsome face, “But that’s just the way our father is, we can’t choose. Besides, no one is perfect, not even Thaddeus who you’ve loved for many years. After three years of marriage, you’ve found many problems with him, haven’t you?” Evadne’s eyelashes quivered, she clenched the bracelet on her wrist. “Although you can choose to leave Thaddeus, but you can never sever the blood ties with your father. Since you can’t sever them, try, accepting them. Besides, dad loves you a lot, even though he has three other wives, they’re all kind-hearted. They’ve managed the household very well over the years, none of them has overstepped their boundaries, I can guarantee you that with my integrity.” Truthfully, Cas sius didn’t know. Because of one thing, Evadne had already silently accepted them in her heart two years ago. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Gordon left the room after dressing Thaddeus’ wound.. Just thinking about Acacia’s crying, tantrums, and destructive behavior gave Thaddeus a headache. The Acacia he remembered was gentle and dependent on him, she would never lose her sanity like this. He sighed, maybe people do change. No matter what, Acacia was his lover, she was the one who accompanied him through the darkest and most desperate days, she was the love of his life. He was going to marry her no matter what. After reviewing some documents with a pained expression, Thaddeus’ gaze unintentionally fell on the suit on the couch. He got up, picked up the suit, and examined it carefully. Although he and Cas sius were about the same height, his shoulders were a bit wider than Cas sius’, and his body was a bit more robust.
No matter how he looked at it, this suit seemed to be his size. “What an eyesore.” He scoffed coldly. A few minutes later, Thaddeus put on the suit. He looked at himself in the mirror, then moved his arms, the suit was surprisingly well-fitted, the craftsmanship was no less than that of high-end brands! The taste of that country girl, how could it be so good? Just then, someone knocked on the door, it was Alva with a cup of milk. “Eh? Young master, you’re actually wearing the suit Ms. Ilana gave you? Ms. Ilana will be so happy when she finds out!” Alva’s face was filled with joy. In the Abernathy family, apart from Alva who had raised Thaddeus, no one took Ilana seriously. “What did you say?” Thaddeus was taken aback. “Isn’t the suit you’re wearing the one Ms. Ilana gave you? It’s this one… this one was fetched from the tailor shop by me a month ago at Ms. Ilana’s request. She asked me to keep it a secret, saying it was a
birthday gift for you.” A birthday gift? Thaddeus was stunned. But his birthday was some times away! 11:29 “Alva, I know you get along well with Ilana, but she’s left now, you don’t have to keep defending her.” Thaddeus’ eyes were cold. “Young master, I’ve looked after since you were a child, in this Abernathy family, the only person I genuinely care about is you!” Alva walked over to the handsome man in the mirror, her eyes filled with deep meaning. “Ms. Ilana said that making clothes takes time, every stitch was sewn by her personally, the fabric was also custom-made by her personally, even the buttons were made by her. She’s busy with housework every day, she could only squeeze out a little time to rush to the tailor shop, so she finished the suit a month in advance. She was afraid you would find out, so she kept it hidden in the closet.” Thaddeus felt a pang in his heart, he widened his eyes in disbelief. “If you don’t believe me, you can check the label, your name is still on it.” Thaddeus quickly took off the suit and threw it on the couch, making a disgusted face, “We’re already divorced, I’m not interested in what she’s done for me, you can go back and rest.” “Young master, why did you divorce Ms. Ilana? Ms. Ilana is a good girl, she’s so devoted to you…” “Devoted?” Thaddeus sneered, “If she’s so devoted to me, would she warmly embrace another man as soon as she leaves me?” “Ms. Ilana wouldn’t…” Alva was surprised. “It’s said that it takes three years to really get to know a person, that saying is really true.” Thaddeus suppressed the faint longing for Ilana, his blood rushing to his head, “Since she was never sincere to me, why did she pretend to be indispensable to me? Did she think I would develop feelings for her like this? Did she think I was easy to fool and manipulate?!”
“Young master, I think there must be a misunderstanding. I can see clearly how Ms. Ilana feels about you.” Alva shook her head and sighed, walked over to fold the suit neatly. “Enough, stop talking.” “You will regret it if you miss Ms. Ilana.” Evadne wanted to sleep in, but her inner clock woke her up at five. Cause usually by this time, she’d be getting breakfast ready for the Abernathy family. She no longer had to cook for a big family in a smoky kitchen, or worry about pleasing the Abernathy’s. It felt so good, she was really free and happy after her divorce! After a quick wash, Evadne put on her tight sportswear and paddled her solo board on the lake behind the villa. With bird songs and flower fragrance along the lake, Evadne rowed with a strong and graceful posture, leaving ripples on the calm lake surface. After working out, having breakfast and freshening up, she came downstairs, all pumped up. Jason was pretty much gobsmacked when he saw Evadne. Today’s Evadne had her long hair up, still with her delicately thin makeup, her petite face was smooth and delicate, her eyes were sparkling, she wore a black long coat, with a red lace dress underneath, her slender waist and legs were just mesmerizing. “Hey, you can stop drooling now.” Evadne snapped her fingers in front of him. Jason blushed, “Miss, you, you’re so beautiful.” “You’re my brother’s chief secretary, can you not look like a total fool when you see a beautiful woman?” Evadne shook her head in exasperation. The Rolls Royce drove to the K Orld Hotel. The stunning lady boss silently appeared in the restaurant, despite her beauty, all the employees were terrified like seeing a ghost, they didn’t dare to breathe and were on high alert. After yesterday’s lesson, no one dared to slack off today, the marble floor of the hotel was shining, all the ingredients were the freshest. Evadne inspected around, gave some instructions, then returned to her office.
“I don’t have much work here for now, you can go to my brother’s, Jason.” “I don’t need to go back.” Jason grinned, “President Ashbourne said, from now on, I’ll be with you. I’m your secretary.” “What?!” Evadne widened her eyes in surprise, “My brother said he would give me a gift today, it can’t be… you?!” Jason blinked and nodded. 2/3 11:29 What a joke! What a gift from her brother, giving her a living person! Seeing Evadne silent for a long time, Jason started to panic, “Miss, you won’t dislike me because I used to be someone else’s secretary, so you don’t want to accept me, right?” Evadne twitched her lips, “What are you talking about… that’s called having rich work experience!” “Hehe, then I’ll count on your guidance from now on! I don’t ask for much, just a small raise would be nice.” Jason Joked. “Money is not a problem! If you do well, I’ll make your life very comfortable, if you don’t, I’ll dump you, and you can go be someone else’s secretary.” Evadne propped her face, her gorgeous red lips slightly smiled. Jason gasped, quickly reporting the current work progress. “All the Vintage Elegance bedding you arranged to change yesterday has been replaced, and all hotels under the K Group nationwide have been notified to replace the Vintage Elegance bedding within a week.” Just then, there was a urgent knock on the door.
