Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239 Confused

Isabel looked perplexed for a moment, her affectionate eyes resting on Averi’s adorable features.

She said, “I discovered this child by the gate of the Myrtlewood Estate. I intended to visit you today, but then I found him there, so alone and forlorn, and I felt compelled to bring him home.”

Her gaze shifted to Sadie, her face hardening instantly. “Why are you here again? You just won’t leave. Listen to me, give up! Our family cannot accept a woman like you!”

Noah started to respond, his brow furrowed in disapproval, but Averi’s clear voice cut him off, saying, “Mrs. Wall, please

don’t be angry with my mommy!”

Clutching Isabel’s hand, Averi looked up earnestly, his large eyes brimming with sincerity.

Isabel paused, her expression of anger momentarily frozen.

Turning her gaze from Averi’s earnest face to Sadie, Isabel appeared bewildered.

“Mommy?” Isabel echoed, her voice tinged with astonishment. “Are you his mother?”

With a shaky voice, Sadie answered, “Yes, I am.”

A heavy silence then settled over the room.

Isabel’s face cycled through emotions rapidly: shock gave way to confusion, which in turn yielded to disbelief.

Her gaze then fell on Noah, laden with inquiry and scrutiny.

Noah, for his part, bore a complex look.

Gazing at Sadie and Averi, he remained silent, his lips sealed shut.

Breaking the heavy silence, Sadie said, “It’s late. I’ll take Averi home now.”

She was eager to leave without delay.

Gently, she lifted Averi into her arms, and he clung to her, his face hidden in the crook of her neck.

Sadie moved toward the exit.

Upon reaching the door, she paused. Without turning around, she murmured, “Sorry for the intrusion.”

With those words, she departed, not looking back.

The moment Sadie vanished from view, Isabel whirled to face Noah, her eyes alight with a fierce intensity. “Noah, I need to

know- Is that child yours?”

Noah remained still, rooted to the spot.

Isabel’s frustration mounted as he failed to reply. “Have you lost your voice?! Answer me! Is that your child?!”

Finally, Noah looked at Isabel.

He took a deep breath before replying, “It’s late, Mom. You should go to bed.”

Isabel got angry, pointing a finger toward Noah. “What is this response? I demand to know–is that child…”

Noah, pretending he didn’t hear anything, turned and made his way to the door.

“Stop, Noah!”

He halted, his head angling slightly. “I have things to attend to.”

Continuing, he opened the door and strode out toward his car without a backward glance.

The door slammed loudly, echoing through the room as Isabel stood shaking with rage.

The darkness of the night enveloped everything.

Clutching Averi, Sadie treaded carefully down the cobblestone pathway.

Abruptly, a sleek black Maybach halted before her.

As the window descended, a strikingly handsome face appeared. “Come inside.”

Sadie remained silent, frozen in place with Averi in her arms.

Noah’s intense, inscrutable eyes were fixed on her. “I won’t ask again.”

Reluctantly, Sadie climbed into the car with Averi.
