His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294 

Everything in Avery’s house was brand new, a clear indication that he had just moved in. 

The design of the villa was minimalist, featuring a monochrome palette of black, white, and grey. Evadne instantly recognized that all the furniture and appliances were top of the line, a subtle display of luxury. 

Upon stepping inside, she felt a chill creeping up her spine, prompting her to shrug her shoulders slightly. 

It wasn’t the lack of heating that made her uncomfortable, but rather the empty space coupled with the monotonous colors, which visually induced a sense of cold austerity. “Evadne, are you cold?” 

Avery fetched a pair of white, plush sl*ppers from the shoe cabinet, knelt on one knee, and presented them to Evadne. “Put these on. I’ll crank up the heating” 

Evadne blinked slowly, extending her fair and delicate foot into the warm sl*ppers 

They were fluffy and comfortable. 

And new. The size was a perfect fit as if they were prepared especially for her. 

“Mr. Avery, welcome home,” greeted Cindy, their long time housekeeper, with a warm smile. 

“Evadne, this is Cindy,” Avery introduced with a smile. “Cindy” 

“I know, I know! It’s Ms. Evadne who you’ve been longing for, right? Nice to meet you, Ms. Evadne!” 

Cindy was extremely enthusiastic, sizing up Evadne. “You are so beautiful. Such a beauty! My goodness. You are even more beautiful than the Miss Universe winner!” Evadne blushed at Cindy’s compliment. “Thank you, Cindy” 

“Please come in, it’s cold outside. Mrs. Chambers is waiting for you!” 

Cindy led them to the living room, occasionally throwing back glances at them, and the more she looked, the more she liked them, the more she felt they were a perfect 

match 

A sense of unease crept into Evadne’s heart. 

Her memory of Mrs. Chambers was vague 

When she used to visit the Chambers family as a child, Mr. Chambers would always greet them while Mrs. Chambers rarely made an appearance. From the few encounters, Evadne remembered that Mrs. Chambers was a gentle and kind woman. 

“Mom!” 

At Avery’s call, the middle–aged woman wrapped in a camel–colored blanket turned her wheelchair around 

Evadne felt a pang in her chest, feeling a sense of sorrow 

Mrs. Chambers was about the same age as Suri, yet she already appeared frail with white hair 

“My son! My son is home“” 

Mrs. Chambers suddenly broke into a smile. Despite her age, she was still beautiful when she smiled, a testament to her beauty in her youth. 

Avery quickly walked over and gave his mother a hug “Mom, Ms. Evadne is here to see you 

“Is it Evadne? Is it really Evadne?” 

Mrs. Chambers looked at Evadne with childlike excitement in her eyes, full of affection. “Quick! Cindy, Cindy!” 

“Yes, Ma’am! I’m here!” Cindy replied promptly 

“Quickly, get Evadne some juice and candies!” 

“Right away!” 

Cindy hurriedly picked a handful of colorful candies from a delicate candy box on the coffee table and enthusiastically offered them to Evadne. “Ms. Evadne, have some 

candies” 

Evadne was surprised and she accepted the candies. 

She hadn’t expected Mrs. Chambers‘ unique way of welcoming guests, offering candies. 

“Ave, you should bring your friends over more often! Don’t worry about disturbing me. I’m just worried you’ll be lonely,” Mrs. Chambers said, her gaze filled with concern as she looked at her son. 

Evade was taken aback, her eyes wide with surprise as she looked at Avery 

“Mom, don’t worry. With Evadne by my side, I’m never alone.” 

A flicker of sadress passed through Avery’s eyes as he gently patted Mrs. Chambers‘ back. “Even if all my other friends abandon me, Evadne will always be there for me “That’s good Evadne, you should visit us more often!” Mrs Chambers gaze softened as she looked at Evadne, as if she was still the little girl from fifteen years ago. “Thank you, Mrs Chambers” 

Evadne felt touched. She walked over and knelt in front of Mrs Chambers, her beautiful face lighting up with a radiant snule. “Don’t worry, Mrs Chambers. Avery will never be lonely with me as his friend“” 

Avery removed his suit jacket, revealing a tall and lean figure clad in a white shirt and grey vest, radiating an air of refined elegance as he headed to the kitchen Although Evadne was a guest, she felt awkward letting Avery, the respectable boss, cook for her 

So, she followed him to the kitchen 

‘Let me help you Without a chef, how long will it take for you to cook all this food? Evadne looked at the table full of premium ingredients, rolled up her sleeves, and felt a surge of enthusiasm to cook 

“It’s okay, everything’s prepared Seafood is easy to cook it won’t take long 

Then Avery looked at her with a worried expression, his voice soft and gentle Evadne, I remember you’re allergic to smoke. There’s smoke in the kitchen. Why don’t you ga to the living room and chat with my mother?” 

1/2 

Fvadhe tensed up. ‘How do you know Im allergic to smoke? 

“Do you remember when Mr. Emene brought you to our house as a child? My brother wanted to have a barbecue, so some servants were grilling in the backyard. When the smoke started to fill the air, Mr. Emeric hurnedly took you away, saying you were allergic to smoke. I still remember how worried and angry he was, like he was facing a major crisis. He even scolded my father” 

Avery chuckled, “It’s clear how much Mr. Emeric doted on you, Evadne.” 

Evadne stared at him, a wave of unspeakable sorrow welling up in her heart, gradually rising up, and choking her. 

She tried to suppress her emotions, but her eyes were already welling up with tears, glistening in the light 

She had been staying with Thaddeus for three years, cooked meals for him for three years, and yet, Thaddeus was blissfully unaware of her allergy to smoke However, an incident from over a decade ago remained fresh in Avery’s memory 

“It’s okay. I’ll help you” 

Evadne stood shoulder to shoulder with him by the sink, her head bowed as she expertly prepared the fresh ingredients. 

Avery’s eyes darkened slightly, his Adam’s apple bobbed, and he subtly took a step closer to her. 

“Evadne, thank you” 

“I should thank you for inviting me to dinner.” 

“That’s not why I want to thank you.”
