Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 200

Chapter 200

Still Married

Averi nudged a small stone with his foot, causing him to trip and nearly tumble to the ground.

“Watch out!” a deep voice called out from behind, and a strong hand quickly stabilized Averi.

Raising his eyes, Averi recognized the distinctly defined face above him.

Standing there was Noah.

Dressed sharply in a suit, Noah looked more imposing and taller than ever, his deep–set eyes giving him an aloof air.

As Noah’s eyes landed on Averi, his stern expression melted into a gentler one. He signaled for Samuel, who was close behind, to proceed to the car without him.

With a silent nod, Samuel headed toward the sleek black sedan at the roadside.

Averi, who remembered Noah from a fun day at the hospital where they had played with toys, grinned widely and reached up eagerly.

“Noah!”

Feeling a sudden warmth in his heart, Noah bent down, lifting Averi into his arms.

“What are you doing here all by yourself? Where is your mom?”

“Mom’s over there!”

Averi directed his little finger towards Sadie and Alex, who were comfortably seated on a bench beside the flowerbed.

Following Averi’s gesture, Noah’s gaze landed on Sadie and Alex sitting intimately under the dim glow of a yellow streetlight.

The sight caused Noah’s fist to tighten reflexively, a wave of bitterness washing over him.

So Sadie left her child alone to be close with another man?

When Alex noticed Noah, his expression changed abruptly, the smile vanishing from his face.

Surprise also flashed across Sadie’s face; she had not expected to see Noah here.

Samuel had informed her that Noah was on a business trip overseas and wouldn’t return soon. Yet, here he was.

When Alex saw Sadie lost in thought as she looked at Noah, a stab of pain hit him. “Sadie, you still haven’t moved on from

him?”

Taken aback, Sadie was not prepared for Alex’s question.

Noah, cradling Averi, was close enough that every word was clearly audible to him.

Silently, he watched the interaction, a subtle flicker of expectation visible in his eyes.

What was he expecting? What was he hoping Sadie would say?

Chaos churned within Sadie’s heart.

For a brief moment, she was at a loss for words in response to Alex.

“I don’t know.”

Her voice carried a tone of detachment, and she avoided looking at Noah.

Swiftly, she got to her feet and gestured for Averi to leave Noah’s embrace.

“Averi, we’re heading home.”

With urgency, she guided her son towards the elevator, eager to leave the heavy air behind them.

Her heart thudded violently, threatening to break free from her chest. It felt as if an unseen force clutched at her heart, squeezing the breath from her lungs.

Once Sadie vanished inside the building, Alex approached Noah.

“Mr. Wall, I wasn’t aware you still enjoyed unsettling your ex–wife.”
