His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1201

Thaddeus remembered how much she hated the cold. All winter long, she would curl up against his chest for warmth as they slept, and whenever they went out, she'd clutch his hand as if it were her personal furnace.

“Evadne,” he called out suddenly.

She turned, and a moment later felt a weight settle on her. He had draped his own overcoat across her shoulders, his gaze heavy. “It’s cold. Wear this.”

A pang of emotion shot through her, and she quickly tried to shrug it off. “I’m fine.”

“Wear it. You get cold easily.” Thaddeus’s large hand pressed firmly on her shoulder.

A lump formed in Evadne's throat. “You… you still remember?”

The man’s lips thinned into a firm line, but he said nothing, turning instead to walk toward Jareth, who was approaching.

Evadne stood frozen in place, her eyes welling with tears as she clutched the lapels of the coat.

“I thought The Velvet Haven was sealed off. What’s Elsie doing here so late at night?” Jareth asked, his brow furrowed.

Gordon ran up, panting. “Mr. Thaddeus, we just found Ms. Archer’s car parked nearby!”

“She must have been investigating something. After all, she lived here for a long time. Besides Avery, she knows The Velvet Haven better than anyone,” Thaddeus said, his sharp gaze hardening.

“My brother Elvis is already on his way to Elmsworth!”

Evadne walked over, her eyes scanning the oppressive darkness, anxiety gnawing at her. “Let’s search the area around The Velvet Haven first. If Ellie ran into trouble here, she must have left some kind of clue!”

Thaddeus looked at her and nodded.

Jareth gestured decisively to his men. “You heard Ms. Evadne! Search every inch of this place! I’ll give a handsome reward to whoever finds a clue!”

“Yes, Mr. Fairhaven!” The men from the Fairhaven group quickly dispersed.

“I’m going too!”

Evadne turned to leave, but Thaddeus grabbed her arm. “It’s freezing. Go wait in the car.”

Jareth chimed in, “Evadne, listen to Thad. Just wait in the car. We’ll handle the search.”

“No… I have to go with you!”

Evadne sniffled, her nose red from the cold. Her eyes, stung by the wind, felt swollen and wet. “This was my oversight, my mistake. If something happened to Ellie… it’s a responsibility I can’t escape! It’s all my fault!”

“Evadne…” Seeing her so wracked with guilt, Jareth’s heart ached for her.
