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

Chapter 1005:

This shameless libertine! How dare he air her dirty laundry in public?

Sadie couldn’t be bothered to stick around for another minute. She calmly stood, not even glancing at Hailey as she said, “If there’s nothing else, Ms. Burgess, we’ll be taking our leave now.”

But she didn’t wait for Hailey to respond. She grabbed Blaine by the wrist and turned toward the exit.

Hailey stared after them, a glint of malice in her eyes.

Leave? Not so fast!

“Ms. Hudson! Let me walk you out.” Hailey shot to her feet and rushed after them.

Just as she reached the pair, she stumbled as if tripping on something, and fell backward with a dramatic cry. “Ah!”

A collective gasp of horror went around the cafe, followed by murmurs of concern.

Hailey clutched her stomach, her face pale and twisted in pain.

She looked up at Sadie with a pitiful expression and spoke in a loud, trembling voice. “Ms. Hudson… I know you’re upset with me because of Noah, but… How can you shove me like that? I’m pregnant with his baby!”

Sadie’s brows drew together, and a soft scoff of disbelief left her lips. She hadn’t even touched Hailey.

By then, the commotion had attracted the attention of the cafe’s patrons, and most of them had gathered around to watch the spectacle unfold more closely.

“Isn’t that Ms. Hudson from the Wall Group?”

“Oh, my god, did she really push that woman?”

“Has she stolen someone’s husband?”

“It seems so! And she’s even getting physical with a pregnant woman? Does she have no heart at all?”

Blaine frowned when he heard the busybodies’ comments. Meanwhile, Hailey was crying in earnest, the very picture of a weak and helpless young woman.

Blaine muttered a curse under his breath. With acting chops like that, Hailey might as well be awarded Best Actress of the Year.

He couldn’t believe Sadie had to deal with this kind of circus on a regular basis. Poor girl. And Noah—God help him—had to bear the curse of being tied to someone like Hailey.

Blaine looked around the cafe, his eyes pausing briefly at the corners of the ceiling. He raised a perfectly arched brow.

“A place this big doesn’t even have a single security camera? Where is the staff of this establishment?”

His words seemed to snap someone into action. A waiter, who had been trying to stay invisible behind the counter, hurried over with a sheepish smile and a respectful bow.noveldrama

“I’m terribly sorry about this. Our surveillance system went down yesterday and is still under repair.”
