Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 115

Chapter 115 You’re Back

“What are you talking about?” Sadie’s voice rang out, every syllable dripping with anger. “I never planned to cross paths

with Noah ever again!”

“Really?” Kyla retorted, her tone dripping with skepticism. “It’s been three years, and not once has he tried to reach out to

you, Sadie.” A glint of malice sparked in her eyes as she leaned in closer. “Do you know what Noah said after your car

accident three years ago? ‘It would be simpler if she just disappeared.“”

Sadie felt the sting of those words as if a blade had sliced through her soul. Her entire body shook, her complexion turning

ghostly, her jaw locked tight.

“Get out of my sight!” Sadie seethed, her fists tightening. “I don’t care about Noah, and I don’t want you near me! I swear,

I won’t ever see him again!”

With those final words, she pivoted on her heel and strode away, her steps faltering yet filled with a fierce determination.

Kyla’s eyes narrowed as she watched Sadie’s retreating form. A shadow of doubt flickered across her face. She wasn’t

convinced Sadie had truly moved on.

“Keep watch over her,” she murmured icily to the empty space before turning to depart.

“Kyla?” A deep voice shattered the stillness.

Whirling around, Kyla found herself facing Alex, who stood at the shadowy threshold of the corridor, his brow creased and his eyes reflecting a chilling frost.

“What the hell are you doing here?” Alex demanded sharply.

His sudden presence seemed to snatch the smug grin right off Kyla’s face.

Kyla blinked, momentarily thrown off balance, but she swiftly masked her surprise, her eyes flickering with a spark of

defiance before settling back into their usual haughty glare.

“Oh, Alex, what a coincidence,” she drawled, her voice dripping with feigned surprise. “Still playing the gallant knight for

Sadie after all these years?”

Alex’s expression turned stormy, his voice cold and steely. “Kyla, what exactly are you up to?”

With a sneer curling her lips, Kyla’s eyes sparkled with scorn. “What am I up to?” she huffed, leaning in closer. “Just paying

a visit to an old friend. But you, Alex–three years and still chasing after Sadie’s affection? How… romantic.”

She stretched the word, her voice thick with sarcasm, mocking Alex’s unrequited devotion.

Alex’s hands balled into fists at his sides, his jaw tightening as he fought to keep his anger in check. “Kyla, whatever you think is going on with Sadie and me, you’re wrong.”

Kyla’s eyebrow arched maliciously, her smirk widening. “Oh? It isn’t what I think? Then enlighten me, Alex–whose child is that?” Her gaze landed on the door to Laura’s apartment, her question hanging heavily in the air like a charged accusation.

Chapter 115 You’re Back

Alex inhaled sharply, his chest heaving as he fought to keep his composure. He was keenly aware that he couldn’t let Kyla uncover the truth, nor could he risk her spilling everything to Noah.

With a tense voice, he shot back, “This is Sadie’s personal matter–it has nothing to do with you.”

“Personal matter? Sounds more like something scandalous,” Kyla retorted, her voice dripping with scorn. “Alex, you really

should open your eyes. Don’t let that woman fool you!”

Alex felt a surge of frustration but restrained himself, fearful that Noah might appear out of nowhere, leaving him

scrambling for an explanation.

Steadying his voice, he warned, “Kyla, enough! Keep out of this! She’s done with the chaos–let her have the peaceful life

she deserves and don’t bother her again!”

Kyla laughed harshly, her disbelief clear. “A peaceful life? If peace is really what she’s after, why come back to Jazmah?

Face it, Alex–you’re blind to how she’s manipulating you!”

Alex’s eyes narrowed, a cold fire burning behind them. “That’s none of your business! Get the hell out of here!”

Turning around, Kyla strode towards her car parked along the roadside. Pausing by the door, she threw Alex a loaded glance. “If you’re really in love with her, better stake your claim fast. You’re not the only one interested.”

With those parting words, she slid into her car and sped off.

Alex stood there, watching the red taillights fade into the distance, his brow creased with worry and contemplation. He lingered for a brief moment, then turned and made his way to Laura’s apartment.

With a gentle rap at the door, he waited, his heart pounding with a mix of anticipation and dread. When the door swung open, Sadie stood there, her smile tired but welcoming.

“Alex, what brings you here at this hour?” she inquired, her voice a soft murmur.

“I needed to see how you and your grandmother were holding up,” Alex replied as he stepped inside, his voice laced with

concern. “How is she?”

“She’s resting. Already turned in for the night,” Sadie whispered, her gaze dropping slightly. “Kyla stopped by earlier.”

Alex’s brow furrowed deeply. “What was she after this time?”
