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

Chapter 1031:

Patrick was certainly much better than that spoiled playboy, Nathan. Meanwhile, Sadie almost passed out in anger at Noah’s audacity. She glared at him, silently telling him to shut his big mouth. This jerk, what kind of nonsense was he spouting, anyway?

Taking a deep breath, Sadie forced a smile and called out to Tina. “Please don’t misunderstand, Tina. We…”

She trailed off, belatedly realizing that no amount of explaining would make the situation any less suspicious.

Tina waited for a few beats before cautiously turning around. She looked back and forth between Sadie and Noah, barely able to keep her expression neutral.

“No misunderstanding! No misunderstanding at all! I didn’t see anything. I didn’t hear anything! I swear!”

And yet, the gleam in her eyes and the shadow of a knowing smile told Sadie that she had, in fact, gravely misunderstood everything.

Sadie sighed helplessly and massaged her temples. At this rate, more excuses would only make matters worse. So instead, she chose to change the subject entirely.

“You may leave the breakfast, Tina. Please go and arrange for my discharge papers. We need to head to Rosehill Apartments later.”noveldrama

Noah’s eyes narrowed at the mention of Rosehill Apartments. Tina, on the other hand, promptly grabbed the bags she had dropped and set them down on the bedside table.

“Alright, I’ll go get everything settled.”

Then she dashed out of the room as though she were fleeing the devil himself. Tina knew that if she stayed a moment longer, she wouldn’t be able to contain her curiosity. She was simply taking precautions.

Sadie let out another sigh, this one of relief. She had finally managed to send the little gossip enthusiast away.

She lifted the covers and made to leave the bed, but a large hand came down on her shoulder and pressed her back against the pillows. She had no idea when Noah had moved, but he was somehow looming over her now.

Noah knew Sadie decided to go to Rosehill Apartments just to rendezvous with the mysterious figure from yesterday’s phone call—the one who no one should find out about. The thought of her venturing there twisted something in his gut. Impossible.

“Count me in on this visit,” Noah’s voice rumbled deep from his chest, carrying an undeniable weight of authority.

Sadie froze mid-motion, tilting her chin to meet his gaze with unmistakable exasperation flickering across her features. Why did he always insist on meddling in her affairs? The question burned in her mind.

She furrowed her brow, her lips tightening into a thin line. “Mr. Noel, this is my personal matter,” she stated, each word dripping with displeasure.

Noah arched an eyebrow, his expression radiating justified confidence. “My assistant was held by your subordinates for a whole night, Ms. Hudson.” He enunciated each word slowly, his tone growing increasingly sharp like the edge of a blade. “Shouldn’t I go and check on him?”
