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

Chapter 1036:

Sadie parted her lips to formulate a response, but Noah intercepted swiftly.

“I’m Sadie’s husband,” he declared without hesitation.

Sadie whipped her head toward him, her eyes widening in astonishment. What preposterous claim had just escaped his lips?

Noah seized the opportunity, deftly encircling her shoulders with his arm, and offered a disarmingly tender smile.

“Ma’am, I eagerly anticipate the privilege of meeting Sadie’s parents—and properly securing their blessing for our union.”

Sadie’s muscles coiled tightly beneath his touch, her instincts screaming to thrust him away forcefully, yet she knew creating conflict before Sharon would undermine their purpose entirely.

This man’s audacity seemed to multiply exponentially with each passing sunrise!

Sharon examined the young pair intently, a brief spark of genuine warmth illuminating her otherwise troubled gaze.

The revelation that Mrs. Hudson’s offspring had already entered matrimony caught her entirely unprepared.

Moreover, judging by unmistakable signs, Sadie’s husband appeared to harbor genuine devotion toward her.

If Mrs. Hudson could witness this development, her troubled spirit would undoubtedly find profound solace.

The deep-etched lines of concern across Sharon’s weathered face gradually smoothed, like ripples settling on disturbed water.

“I shall reveal everything within my knowledge,” she announced finally, inhaling deeply. “But fortify yourselves accordingly. What follows may prove exceedingly difficult to process.”

Sadie and Noah exchanged a loaded glance. Something ominous in Sharon’s tone caused their stomachs to knot with visceral apprehension.

Sharon expelled a prolonged breath, her gaze growing distant as memories emerged from the fog of passing years.

“The events transpired five years ago. My son contracted a devastating illness, and treatment costs remained hopelessly beyond our financial reach. Death hovered at his bedside constantly. Then, during the New Year season, as though divine intervention had manifested, information regarding employment reached me. An establishment sought someone to provide care for a particular couple. The compensation offered exceeded all reasonable expectations—suspiciously generous, in retrospect. Naturally, I accepted immediately. This establishment carried the name Faron Retreat.”
