Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222 Averi Was

Brought Here

The butler helped Sadie up the stairs, a mix of persuasion and fi

insistence guiding her toward the master bedroom.

As soon as the door swung wide, she went rigid.

The layout, the furnishings, even the shade of the drapes–everything was precisely as it had been three years prior, as if this space had remained untouched by time.

Not a speck of dust marred the surfaces. It was clear that someone had been meticulously tending to the room all along.

But why?

She had left. Wouldn’t Noah have welcomed her absence?

How was this possible?

When she first got married, she had entered this very room brimming with optimism. Now, all that remained wa emptiness and shattered hope.

After mechanically completing her shower, she settled onto the bed, but rest evaded her.

Noah’s detached, emotionless stare lingered in her mind, refusing to fade.

She had no sense of how long she had lain there before the mattress shifted beside her.

A familiar presence enveloped her.

Noah had returned.

Without a word, he drew her into his embrace, his warm breath skimming her neck, sending an involuntary trem through her body.

Sadie tensed instinctively, hands clenched so tightly that her nails bit into her palms.

Yet she neither resisted nor pulled away. She lay still, as if stripped of her will, allowing him to hold her.

“Averi is still little. He needs me.” At some point, her voice, barely more than a breath, broke the silence.

Noah’s eyes flickered open, his expression unreadable. A hint of something unspoken ghosted across his face. “Tomorro I’ll have someone bring that bastard here.”

Sadie’s head snapped up, fury igniting in her pale features. “My child is not a bastard.”

Each word was slow, deliberate, brimming with defiance.

“Oh? Not a bastard?” Noah’s lips curled into a smirk, cold and taunting, as if he had just heard the punchline of a cruel jok “He’s the child you had with Alex. What else should I call him?” His voice sharpened, barely concealing his rage

In an instant, he moved on top of Sadie, pinning her in place. “You care that much about the so

His gaze burned into her, sharp and unrelenting.

“If it’s a child you want, I can give you one myself.”

How ridiculous.

A chill seeped into Sadie’s bones, numbing her from the inside out.

Three years ago, he had said that if she ever conceived, he would make her abort the child.

Now, after all this time, he claimed he’d give her one.

The bitter irony of it stole her breath.

She shut her eyes, refusing to acknowledge him.

No fight. No tears. Just an overwhelming void.

Noah studied the woman beneath him, her lack of reaction stirring an inexplicable frustration in his chest.

Without another word, he pushed himself away and stormed out.

“Bang!” The door slammed behind him, the sharp bang echoing through the silent room.

Sadie pulled the blanket tighter around herself, curling into a ball.

She didn’t sleep at all.

By dawn, golden light streamed through the sheer curtains.

Sadie lay motionless, her face pale, her vacant eyes unblinking.

Memories of the night before replayed in an endless loop, constricting her chest.

“Tap. Tap. Tap…” Soft, hurried footsteps approached, followed by an eager, naive voice. “Mommy!”

Averi barreled into Sadie’s arms, a burst of warmth in the cold, heavy air.

Sadie clung to him, as if holding on for dear life.

At that moment, exhaustion and despair melted away.

“Mommy, I missed you so much.” Averi buried his face in her neck, his voice a sweet melody easing her pain.

A faint smile touched her lips. “I missed you too, my love.”

A maid quietly placed Averi’s luggage aside before slipping out.

Sadie stroked Averi’s soft hair, her emotions a tangled mess.

How could she explain this mess to him? How could she shield him from what was to come?

A sudden knock pulled her from her thoughts.

The door creaked open, revealing Kyla holding a thermal food jar.

She wore a delicate yellow dress, the soft color complementing her charming appearance.
