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

Chapter 27:

That smile, bright and seemingly innocent, stung Sadie’s eyes like a shard of glass.noveldrama

With the notion that Sadie was unaware of Kyla’s identity, Tina chimed in helpfully, her voice low and tinged with intrigue, “Sadie, that’s the CEO’s rumored girlfriend, Kyla Wade.”

“They do seem quite close,” Sadie replied, her voice flat.

“I heard that Kyla had a heart attack last night. The CEO was so concerned he whisked her to the hospital and remained by her side the whole night. He only returned this morning,” Tina whispered, cautious of eavesdroppers.

A sharp pang of jealousy jabbed at Sadie’s heart, spreading a numbing ache.

So, her memories had been nothing more than a fanciful illusion.

With unwavering devotion, Noah stayed with Kyla at the hospital, keeping her company through the long night.

How could he possibly have found the time to check on her at home? Despite the turmoil swirling inside her, Sadie’s exterior remained unflappable. All she wanted was to leave the scene.

Yet, unexpectedly, Kyla appeared beside her. With a fake smile plastered on her face, she greeted Sadie.

“Good morning, Sadie. I’m sorry, but Noah was overly concerned about me and spent the entire night by my side at the hospital. Now, he’s fetching a glass of water for me. It’s rare to find someone so thoughtful.”

Sadie responded with a frosty smirk, her voice a whisper meant only for Kyla’s ears, laced with scorn. “Tell me, Kyla, if the whole world knew you were the homewrecker in my marriage with Noah, could you still parade around as Mrs. Wall in the future?”

The Wall family prized their reputation above all else.

At Sadie’s insinuation, Kyla’s complexion drained to a ghostly pale.

Sadie, that miserable bitch, actually had the audacity to threaten her! Seething, Kyla watched as Sadie turned sharply and strode away, not once glancing back.

Noah, returning with a glass of water, looked up just in time to catch a glimpse of Sadie’s retreating form.

A wave of inexplicable unease washed over him, leaving him restless and concerned.

Like sand slipping through his fingers, Noah felt something essential drifting away from him.

Without hesitation, he buried the unsettling feeling deep inside.

With an indifferent glance at Kyla, he said in a flat, unyielding tone, “Alright, I’m heading back to the office.”

Kyla gave a small, compliant nod, her expression docile.

Yet, as she watched Noah’s imposing silhouette recede down the corridor, her lips twisted into a smug, victorious smirk.

In her eyes, it was clear—she still had a firm grip on his heartstrings.

With just a touch of her cunning, she had ensnared him once again.

But beneath that triumph, a bitter seed of resentment towards Sadie, Noah’s legal wife, sprouted. Kyla’s thoughts darkened.

If only Sadie hadn’t left for overseas, she wouldn’t have had the chance to wedge herself into Noah’s life.

Now was the perfect moment—Kyla was dead set on making sure Sadie ended up divorced and discarded.

With a scheme brewing in the depths of her twisted heart, Kyla’s heels clicked authoritatively against the floor as she entered the secretarial office.

Her eyes sparkled with manipulative delight as she addressed the room, her voice dripping with condescension. “There’s an important dinner tonight, and I need two of you to join me. Who’s coming with me?” She scanned every face with a predatory grin.
