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

Chapter 700:

But Noah’s words stopped her. “There’s no need. I’m tired, so I’ll head upstairs to rest.”

Hailey paused mid-step. She pressed her lips into a thin line to keep herself from asking more questions. She managed a small nod.

“Right, you should rest. No matter how busy work gets, you need to take care of yourself.”

Noah hummed in acknowledgment before heading up the stairs. Not once did he glance back at her.

Hailey’s smile finally dropped when he disappeared into the second-floor landing.

Something was wrong here, very, very wrong.

Noah had acted aloof since he walked into the villa—a sharp contrast to how he usually treated her.

Hailey felt her heart sink.

She turned her attention outside, where Noah’s car was still parked. The driver stood by the vehicle, his stance measured and respectful.

Hailey headed outside to talk to him. “Do you know where Noah went last night?” She tried to keep her tone steady, not wanting to seem too anxious.

The driver hesitated, clearly surprised by the young lady’s question. He wasn’t quite sure how to respond.

His apprehension didn’t escape Hailey’s notice. She softened her tone. “It’s all right. Just tell me the truth. I won’t hold it against you.” The driver took a few more seconds to make up his mind. When he did speak, he sounded nervous. “Well, Ms. Burgess, Mr. Noel went to deal with matters regarding Mr. Sutton Wall.”

He glanced at Hailey warily, afraid that he had said something wrong.noveldrama

Sutton? Hailey’s heart skipped a beat. A voice in the back of her head told her that the matters in question might have something to do with her.

“What happened with Sutton? Tell me everything you know.” Feeling pressured now, the driver recounted the events of the previous night, including how Sutton had hired thugs to abduct Hailey, only for them to kidnap Sadie by mistake. He then went on to explain how Noah had arrived at the scene just in time to stop the men from doing anything to Sadie.

Hailey’s eyes widened with shock and horror as she listened. A lot had happened last night, and she didn’t even have any idea.

So, Sutton had tried to harm her? That fool!

A strange mix of fear and relief washed over her. On one hand, it was a good thing that Noah had dealt with Sutton, sparing her from future trouble with her previous paramour. On the other, Noah had ultimately done it all to save Sadie.

So, what else happened? What did they do after Noah rescued Sadie?

Hailey felt a ball of dread in the pit of her stomach.

Struggling to keep her emotions in check, she pried further. “Do you know what Noah and Sadie did afterward?”

The driver looked even more flustered by the question. He shook his head vigorously. “I don’t know anything else, Ms. Burgess. My duty is to drive Mr. Noel to his destination, that’s all. I would never dare to ask him about his private affairs.”

Needless to say, this reaction only fueled Hailey’s suspicions. The more the driver denied any knowledge, the more it seemed to her that he had something to hide.
