His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 295

Chapter 295 

The dinner was a jovial affair, filled with laughter. 

Avery had initially planned to open a bottle of his top–shelf red wine, but Mrs. Chambers insisted on Evadne drinking only juice, so Evadne spent the whole evening sipping on orange juice, grape juice, pineapple juice, and so on. It was enough to start her own fruit orchard 

After dinner, Cindy escorted Mrs. Chambers away, creating an opportunity for Avery and his beloved to have some private time 

Avery took Evadne on a tour of his mansion, showing off his collection of antique artifacts and paintings. There were paintings from the ancient times, and a vase from the royal family. 

Each of these treasures could fetch exorbitant prices at auction! 

Evadne stond at the table, leaning over the antique paintings with a magnifying glass, her almond eyes sparkling with appreciation. 

“Do you like them? If you do, I can pack them up for you to take home,” Avery said, leaning against the bedpost, smiling at her. 

She admired the paintings 

He admired her 

“Pack them up? You should know that each of these items are worth at least several million dollars, and they’re all authentic. Even ancient emperors would hesitate to give them away, and you want me to take all of them?” 

Evadne straightened up, playfully looking at Avery through the magnifying glass, winking, “Are you a collector of antiques, or just a dealer? If you were truly an enthusiast, you’d be like Emeric. He wouldn’t even let anyone touch his collection, much less give them away” 

Avery’s l*ps curled into a smile, his voice soft and enticing. I’m only generous with two people, you and Mr. Emeric” 

Evadne’s heart fluttered, her l*ps parting slightly 

Avery and Thad were completely different. One spouted sweet nothings, while the other could hardly say a nice word, even with a gun to his head. 

“Emeric is quite greedy. If he knew you had such treasures and were so generous, he wouldn’t rest until he took everything” 

“If Mr. Emeric likes it, he can have it. The only things I, Avery, have that can catch Mr. Emeric’s eye are these items, and I don’t mind giving them away,” Avery said sincerely “What about you? What do you want? Apart from getting a piece of the Chambers family’s pie, Evadne asked, her voice filled with implication, 

Avery’s eyes were full of tenderness, his heart silently saying the word “you.” 

“It’s snowing. Evadne,” he said out loud instead. 

“Really?” 

Evadne was thrilled, her eyes full of excitement, shining like the stars. 

She adored snowy days. When she was a child, her mother used to hold her in the backyard to watch the snow, guiding her little hand to skate on the ice. “Let’s go see the snow” 

Avery led Evadne to the balcony. As soon as the door opened, she was captivated by the beautiful scenery. 

The snowflakes fell all around, as if someone was tearing up cotton and flinging it into the air. 

“It’s so beautiful!” Evadne exclaimed, looking up at the night sky. 

Avery quickly took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, bundling her up. His voice was so tender, it was almost unrecognizable, “The snow is beautiful, but it’s not good if you catch a cold.” 

Evadne felt the chill dissipating, replaced by the warmth radiating from Avery’s coat. 

She turned her head, and her eyes met Avery’s heated gaze. 

“Your glasses have frosted over, can you still see the snow?” Evadne asked seriously 

Avery was slightly taken aback. Then he smiled, his eyes full of affection for her. 

He thought, “Evadne, do you know? In Helgen, there’s a saying: “If you want to marry her, watch the first snowfall of winter with her 

Evadne, her face rosy from the cold, reached out to catch the falling snowflakes. 

Avery’s eyes deepened, and he felt an overwhelming urge to hold her hand and never let go 

Just then, her phone rang, breaking the moment 

Evadne glanced at the screen, her expression changing slightly 

The name “Thaddeus was still significant in her eyes 

When Avery saw it was his romantic rival calling, his gold rimmed glasses flashed with a hint of coldness as he softly called out, “Evadne ” 

Evadre’s eyes dimmed slightly, but she still decided to answer, “Hello” 

Instantly, Avery was filled with disappointment. 

And his heart was filled with hatred for Thaddeus 

At this moment, Thaddeus was staring at the brightly lit window, unaware that Evadne was behind it. His voice was deep and hoarse, “Evadne, it’s snowing. It’s the first snowfall of the winter in Elms worth 

“Yeah” 

Evacne’s face was expressionless, “So why did you call? Is there something you need?” 

Thaddeus was speechless for a moment. Then he gathered his courage and asked sincerely “Can I invite you to watch the snow tonight?” 

“Mr Thaddeus, are you a fish? Do you only have a seven second memory? Evadne asked, raising an eyebrow 

I’m not 

“What’s our relationship? Do you think it’s appropriate? 

It’s more appropriate than Avery” 

1/3 

Thaddeus‘ words were filled with bitterness 

Evadne felt both angry and amused, “Hmm, I don’t think so 

“Evadne, I won’t leave until I see you tonight,” Thaddeus stubbornly declared. 

“If you don’t leave, I won’t leave here tonight,” Evadne retorted stubbornly. 

“Evadne, are you trying to kill me? 

Thaddeus stared at his red eyes, clutching his chest as if he was having trouble breathing, “Are you going to stay at Avery’s house tonight? Do you know what you’re doing?” Evadne felt a surge of anger. 

She walked to a corner, away from Avery, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice. “Mr. Thaddeus, I appreciate that you saved my life last time. But that doesn’t mean you can use that to coerce me into doing something I don’t want to do” 

“I just want to watch the first snowfall of winter with you, that’s all 

“But I don’t want to! Thaddeus, I don’t want to at all?”. 

Evadne shouted uncontrollably, her overreaction frightening Thaddeus. 

Avery couldn’t help but stride quickly behind her, his hands gently gripping her trembling shoulders 

“Evadne, what’s wrong? He whispered in her ear, his voice like velvet. 

Every word was heard by Thaddeus! 

Evadne closed her eyes, which were now flushed pink with emotion, her b*dy shaking uncontrollably 

In her mind, she was taken back to Christmas Eve two years ago. 

It had been the first snowfall of the season in Elmsworth. 

A car accident, blood and their child, not even two months old 

She had experienced unbearable pain as she was cruelly torn away from her child, whom she never got a chance to meet. 

And what was Thaddeus doing at that time? 

He had traveled abroad for his childhood sweetheart, just to spend Christmas Eve with her. 

Before passing out in the hospital while visiting her grandfather, Evadne had managed to call Thaddeus. 

But all she got in return was a cold busy tone. 

Evadne gasped for air as if she were drowning pain washed over her like a tidal wave, threatening to engulf her. 

Suddenly, everything went black. She felt her b*dy sway, struggling to maintain balance. 

“Evadne!” 

Just as she was about to fall, Avery scooped her up into his arms, his eyes dark with fury. Thaddeus stood alone in the snowy wilderness, a layer of snow covering his head and shoulders. 

He was waiting prepared to stay the whole night if needed. 

Suddenly, the gate of the mansion opened. 

Thaddeus felt a jolt of hopel 

However, the next second, his heart sank
