Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29 She’s The One Who Put Herself In This…

As the taxi vanished into the night, Noah’s face settled into a terrifying grimace.

The anger radiating from him was palpable, his frustration boiling over as he delivered a sharp kick to the railing.

The sound of leather slamming into metal pierced the quiet, reverberating ominously.

From a distance, Kyla had observed every moment of the altercation, her eyes locked on the unfolding drama. As Noah and Sadie parted ways under a cloud of discord, a smug smile slowly spread across Kyla’s face.

After allowing Noah some time to cool down, Kyla approached him with calculated steps, her voice dripping with feigned remorse. “Noah, you can’t hold Sadie responsible for her reaction. It was my fault–I made a mistake today, and it upset her. I’ll make it right tomorrow; I’ll apologize to her first thing at the office.”

She cast her eyes downward, letting the shadows of her lashes paint her cheeks, her voice soft.

“No need,” Noah snapped back, his voice icy, tinged with an irritation that was almost imperceptible. “She’s the one who put herself in this mess. She could’ve just spoken up if she wasn’t feeling well, couldn’t she?”

Kyla’s expression tightened, her features hardening as she knew that, although Noah seemed to be chastising Sadie, it was concern, not disdain, that colored his words.

She stole a glance at her phone, the call ended, and allowed a cold smile to curl her lips

once more.

The dim light from the screen highlighted her flawless skin but failed to mask the cunning glint in her eyes.

Minutes ago, in the back seat of the taxi, Sadie had every intention of closing her eyes and catching a moment of respite, but the shrill ring of her phone shattered the silence.

It was Kyla calling.

With annoyance knitting her brow, Sadie’s hand moved instinctively toward the reject button.

However, in her haste, her finger merely grazed the touchscreen, inadvertently accepting the call instead.

Noah’s voice burst through the speaker, his words hitting her like a cold, unexpected slap.

The raw accusation in his tone left her stunned, a chill creeping down her spine.

So, he truly believed that all her misfortunes were solely her own making!

A sharp pang of betrayal twisted in her chest, as if her heart had been cleaved in two, bleeding out silently.

Her grip on the phone tightened, her knuckles whitening with the strain, yet her eyes remained dry. She stubbornly refused to spill any tears.

The following day, Sadie walked into the Wall Group offices as if nothing had changed. Yet, as she settled into her routine, Tina approached her with a probing stare.

“Sadie, what exactly is your relationship with Mr. Wall?” Tina’s voice was laced with curiosity, her gaze piercing.

Sadie felt a knot tighten in her chest, but she masked her discomfort with a casual shrug and questioned, “What do you mean by that?”
