Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret

Chapter 104:

As Noah ended the call, his expression softened, his voice gentle. “Just wait for a while. Jim will be here before you know it.”

With a slight nod, Sadie’s attention drifted toward the window, her thoughts swirling.

Sadie knew she needed to reach out to Alex. He was her last chance to escape this place.

Jim’s visit could be her break.

Kyla’s eyes darted between Sadie and Noah repeatedly.

Observing the shift from tension to ease on Sadie’s face, Kyla grew suspicious, sensing that something was off.

Her instincts whispered that Sadie was concealing something important from Noah.

But what could it possibly be?

Interrupting her thoughts, Noah’s voice resonated, “Kyla, you’ve put in the effort last night looking after me. Why don’t you grab a bite and refresh yourself?” His voice was deep and captivating.

A flutter of warmth passed through Kyla as her heart momentarily skipped a beat.

He actually cared about her!

It was unusual for Noah to show such personal concern, sparking curiosity about his different behavior today.

Doubt briefly crossed her mind, but it was swiftly overtaken by a rush of satisfaction.

With a sidelong glance at Sadie, Kyla responded to Noah, “I did what I should. Shall we head to the dining room together?”

Agreeing with a nod, Noah began to walk with Kyla toward the dining room.

He couldn’t resist a backward glance at Sadie, as if searching for a sign of emotion.

Finding none, he quickly turned and hastened to catch up with Kyla. Upon entering the dining room, Noah courteously pulled out a chair for Kyla.

Caught off guard by the gesture, Kyla released a victorious smile.noveldrama

She reveled in the attention, feeling more like his rightful partner.

All the while, Sadie watched quietly.

She had no resentment, only a deep sense of weariness.

Turning away, she gently closed the door to the master bedroom, silencing the sounds from the dining room.

Everything finally became quiet.

Jim, carrying a medicine box, rushed into the house, his forehead dotted with sweat.

Upon spotting Noah, he eased up a bit and inquired, “Where’s Sadie?”

“Just follow me,” Noah responded briefly.

Kyla quickly set her utensils aside, her eyes alight with eagerness as she whispered, “Noah, I want to come along to see Sadie because…” She trailed off, seeming to search for the right words, then continued, “There are some misunderstandings between us that need to be cleared up face-to-face.”

Noah didn’t object, simply saying flatly, “Let’s go.”

Rising, he took the lead toward the master bedroom.

Kyla was right behind him, a subtle smile of anticipation playing on her lips.

Catching sight of Kyla, Jim froze for a moment before staring at Noah in disbelief. “You’ve actually put Kyla and Sadie in the same house?”

Noah stopped, giving Jim a look of mild annoyance. “Why does it bother you? Sadie isn’t bothered. She doesn’t even care. What’s got you so agitated?”

Jim was momentarily speechless.

He inhaled deeply, and after a pause, he shook his head and muttered, “Never mind. You’re truly blind, Noah. Just don’t come to regret this.”
