His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire Chapter 7

Chapter 7
Chapter 7
In the hospital ward.
Upon seeing Evadne, the previously feeble Hamiltion instantly perked up, his eyes lighting up.
“Ilana! Come here! Sit next to me!”
Evadne immediately complied, obediently sitting next to Hamilton.
“Mr. Hamiltion, how are you feeling? Is there anything bothering you?”
“No matter how unwell I might be, just seeing you here makes me better!”
Grabbing her hand anxiously, Hamiltion asked, “Ilana, I heard from that jerk you’re divorced, is it true?”
“Yes, we’re divorced.” Evadne’s long eyelashes fluttered, a sense of loss in her heart.
“That fool! He let go of such a great woman. Does he think he can marry a goddess from heaven?” Hamiltion struggled to sit up, glaring at Thaddeus.
Concerned for his grandfather’s health, Thaddeus didn’t dare to answer.
“Mr. Hamiltion, don’t be angry with Thaddeus. I didn’t want to continue the marriage. Thaddeus and I… we are not on the same page anymore.” Evadne gently comforted, patting his back.
Thaddeus’ pupils slightly contracted.
She didn’t complain or incite his grandpa against him. Was she trying to win him back with this unusual method?
Evadne, why are you so confident that I will be attracted to you?
“Ilana, were you mistreated in our home? Did Elspeth treat you poorly?” Hamiltion asked with concern.
“No. Thaddeus and I just had different views, we couldn’t understand each other’s hearts. Breaking up was the best outcome for both of us.”
Evadne’s eyes reflected a flicker of almost unnoticeable sorrow, “Mr. Hamiltion, don’t blame Thaddeus. We had beautiful memories in the past three years. That’s enough. We don’t regret.”
Thaddeus frowned slightly, a complex emotion welling up in his heart.
In his memory, he didn’t have any beautiful memories with Evadne. He didn’t even give her a proper wedding ceremony.
Just a rushed marriage registration under his grandpa’s pressure, then she moved in with her simple luggage. She became his wife in name just like that.
Did she really find this beautiful? Or was it sarcasm?
“Ilana… Was I wrong?”
Hamiltion’s eyes moistened, he sighed with self-blame, “I truly wanted you to be happy. I never thought that jerk would be so ungrateful. I’m sorry.”
“Mr. Hamiltion, please don’t say that. It’s fate’s arrangement. I have already moved on, really.”
Thirteen years of deep affection, now put behind her. Only God knows how deep her pain was.
But since Thaddeus made such a firm decision, if she continued to cling on, she wouldn’t even have her dignity left. She didn’t want to become a bitter woman over a man’s little bit of love.
“Mr. Murray, bring the birthday gift I prepared for Ilana!”
Mr. Murray quickly put on white gloves and brought over an exquisite red velvet jewelry box.
Inside the box was a flawless diamond bracelet!
Evadne knew her jewelry, and she could tell at a glance that it was an antique piece, at least a hundred years old!
“Mr. Hamiltion, isn’t this your wife’s…?” Thaddeus looked at the bracelet, his face suddenly full of shock.
“Yes, it’s the love token I gave to my wife. It’s an heirloom of the Abernathy family, passed down from my grandfather.”
Hamiltion talked as he held up the bracelet to the sunlight, his eyes softened, “My wife told me before she passed away that out of all her jewelry, this diamond bracelet was her favorite. She hoped that I could give it to my approved granddaughter-in-law. She’s gone now, and I want to give it to my favorite Ilana. Only you’re worthy of such a fine thing.”
“Mr. Hamiltion, I can’t, this is too precious. Besides, I’m no longer…” Evadne nervously declined.
“Even if you and Thaddeus aren’t together anymore, you’re still the only granddaughter-in-law I approve of!”
Seeing her refusal, the old man got a little angry, “If you don’t accept it, I’ll smash it!”
“No, don’t!” Evadne hurriedly grabbed his hand, scared, “I’ll take it, I’ll take it. Thank you, Mr. Hamiltion!”

“Good girl!” Hamiltion happily put the bracelet on her himself.
Evadne was already very beautiful. With the diamond bracelet, her hand looked even more stunning.
Thaddeus had never really looked at her hand closely before, but now, he noticed her soft, delicate skin, not overshadowed by the jewelry. She was truly beautiful.
“You, what did you get Ilana for her birthday?” Hamiltion asked him angrily.
“Mr. Hamiltion, Thaddeus… He already gave me a gift. A gift I’ll never forget.”
Thaddeus clenched his fists, his lips tightly closed and his face pale.
On her birthday, he indeed gave her a “big gift” – a divorce agreement.
Ilana, you really know how to hurt people!
“Ilana, is there really no chance for you and Thaddeus?” Hamiltion still didn’t give up.
Gently holding Hamiltion’s aging hand, Evadne said, “If you really care about me, you should support me to live the life I want, don’t you think?”
“Things have come to this, I can’t convince you otherwise. Can you wait until I turn eighty before you leave? It’s just a few days away.” Hamiltion tried to hold her back, feeling very reluctant.
“Grandpa, this isn’t right.” Thaddeus frowned, his voice low and firm.
“What do you mean it’s not right? Is it only appropriate if you bring Acacia here to celebrate my birthday, for me to accept her as my granddaughter-in-law? Do she and Elspeth want to have all the Abernathy family men at their beck and call? They’re dreaming!”
Hamilton was so angry he smashed the bed hard, “If you still consider me as your grandfather and wish for me to live longer, stay away from that Acacia! I’m telling you, even when I’m dead I won’t accept her!”
Outside the door, Acacia paced anxiously, grinding her teeth in frustration.
“Stop pacing, you’re making me dizzy.”
Elspeth rubbed her temples and shook her head, “You’re too impatient. You know Mr. Hamilton’s attitude towards you, he’s old, how long can he influence Thaddeus? All you need to do is to win Thaddeus’ heart, that’s enough.”
“Even so, as long as he’s alive, he doesn’t recognize my status, I can’t marry Thad publicly!” As soon as the words left her mouth, Acacia quickly covered it and looked around nervously.
“Back then, Mr. Hamilton also refused to accept me, but what could he do? Didn’t I still marry into this family?”
Elspeth admired her newly done manicure, “Thaddeus is his grandson, as long as Thaddeus insists on you, Mr. Hamilton will eventually agree.”
Acacia thought she made sense, and her mood calmed down a lot.
At this moment, the door to the ward finally opened.
Mr. Murray escorted the two out.
Acacia quickly hid the calculating expression on her face and approached them softly.
Suddenly, her pupils shrank!
The diamond bracelet on Evadne’s wrist was so beautiful that it was hard to look away, it was many times better than the so-called heirloom on her own wrist!
She didn’t have it when she went in, but she did when she came out. Who else could have given it to her but the old man?!
Acacia was so jealous that she was unrecognizable, and immediately felt malicious. As she approached them, she suddenly lunged at Evadne.
“Ah!”
Acacia intended to pretend to fall on her, and in the struggle, sna tch her bracelet and break it.
Who would have thought, Evadne half-closed her eyes and elegantly dodged.
Acacia fell flat on her face in front of her!
Immediately, there was a crisp sound–
The bracelet on Acacia’s hand broke!
