Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 212

Chapter 212 The Last Time

The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Noah’s chiseled face.

His expression was grim, however, and his gaze was cold as ice.

“Noah?” Kyla’s smile froze, and a wave of unease surged in her heart.

Noah’s lips parted slightly as he spoke in a deep, authoritative voice. “This is the last time, Kyla.”

The words were short and few, but left Kyla reeling. The color drained from her face, and her eyes widened in a mix of shock and disbelief. “What? I’m sorry, what did you just say?”

Noah didn’t spare her another glance, nor did he address her presence again. Instead, he looked ahead and said to the

chauffeur, “Drive.”

The black sedan sped away, leaving Kyla standing alone, hurt and bewildered. She had carefully chosen her outfit and

dolled up her face, but her efforts ended up feeling like a mockery of her hopes.

She reached out without thinking, but there was nothing to grasp in front of her aside from the cold, empty air.

Kyla felt a chill run through her body. It left her weak and unsteady, and she found herself swaying slightly from the

weight of it all.

She couldn’t process what just happened.

Everything had been fine a few moments ago. How did it all change so suddenly?

Noah had even gone to negotiate deal with Eva on her behalf.

Was it because of Sadie?

Meanwhile, Sadie was sitting in the car Eva had arranged for her. Her mind was swirling with thoughts about her upcoming design project.

Ding!

Her phone chimed with a new notification. It was a message from the kindergarten teacher, reminding her that it was a school open day, and that parents could pick up their children earlier than usual.

Sadie glanced at the time and asked the driver to speed up.

The car weaved through the winding mountain road and headed straight for the kindergarten.

A bunch of children were already gathered at the entrance, likely waiting for their parents while chattering on noisily.

Sadie immediately spotted Averi in the crowd. He was standing next to the teacher, all prim and obedient, even as his eyes scanned his surroundings.

“Averi!” Sadie called out, prompting the boy to turn in her direction. His little face instantly lit up with a huge smile.

He dashed over and threw himself into her arms. “Mommy!”

Sadie gathered him in a tight embrace and relished the warmth that filled her chest.

No matter how tough her situation got, Averi’s innocent smile always made everything worth it.

“Mommy, my teacher praised my drawing today!” the boy said proudly, his lips stretched into a wide grin.

“Really? That’s amazing!” Sadie smiled indulgently and ruffled his hair.

She held his hand as they walked home, chatting and laughing all the way.

They were passing by the supermarket near their apartment when Sadie made a last–minute decision to grab some groceries. She gently guided Averi inside.

“Sadie!” a familiar voice suddenly called out from behind them.

Sadie turned to see Alex standing a few feet away, his face wrought with concern.

“Alex?” She blinked in surprise. “What are you doing here?”

Alex rushed over, his eyes looking her up and down as if to examine her body. After confirming that she was unharmed, he

breathed a sigh of relief. “I was worried, so I thought I’d come and check on you.”

Alex chose not to mention that he had heard Noah and Kyla had also been at the Stonemont Estate.

Sadie couldn’t help but smile. “I’m fine. I’m sorry to have made you worry, though.”

Just then, Alex’s phone buzzed. His expression changed when he saw the caller ID.

“Excuse me. I need to take this call.” He gave Sadie an apologetic smile before stepping away to answer his phone.

Sadie just nodded and took Averi into the supermarket. She figured from Alex’s reaction that something urgent had come

1. up.

A faint sense of foreboding came over Sadie, but she brushed it aside as Averi carried on with his lively prattling.

“Mommy, what are we having for dinner today?” the little boy asked, his eyes eager and hopeful.

“What would you like to eat?”

“I want glazed chicken!” Averi answered without a second’s hesitation.

“All right, glazed chicken it is!” Sadie declared while playfully pinching his cheek.

Alex’s call didn’t take too long, and soon he was jogging back to Sadie’s side. “Hey, something happened at work. I need to

go.”

“Okay, off you go, then. Good luck.” Sadie nodded at him in understanding.
