Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 305

Chapter 305 Absence

“What’s the urgent matter?” Kyla practically spat the words through gritted teeth.

She had poured her heart into meticulously planning her birthday banquet, eagerly anticipating Noah’s arrival. However, instead of the joyous encounter she had envisioned with Noah, she faced a crushing disappointment. How could she endure this humiliation?

Samuel bowed slightly, his voice tinged with regret. “I’m sorry, Miss Wade. I don’t know the details.”

His words felt like a slap.

Around them, guests began whispering, their gazes filled with open mockery.

“Seems Miss Wade isn’t as important to Mr. Wall as she thought.”

“I thought they were close. Guess not.”

“We should leave. There’s nothing interesting happening here.”

One by one, the guests made excuses to depart. The once vibrant banquet hall soon echoed with eerie silence.

Kyla stood frozen, her face ghostly pale.

Vivi approached with deliberate steps, her heels clicking on the marble. Her expression held a trace of disdain, thinly veiled by concern.

“Are you all right, Kyla?” Vivi asked, her tone dripping with false sympathy as she gently patted Kyla’s shoulder. “Don’t take it too hard. Maybe Mr. Wall has a critical issue to handle.”

Kyla’s head snapped up, her eyes blazing.

“I heard he cleared his schedule for today,” she hissed.

A flicker of something unreadable crossed Vivi’s face. She paused, feigning a sudden realization. “Oh, today seems to be the Parents‘ Day at the kindergarten Sadie’s son attends.”

Confusion flashed across Kyla’s face.

Vivi’s voice was casual, yet pointed. “Maybe… Mr. Wall went to the kindergarten?”

Kyla’s breath hitched.

Impossible!

She shook her head violently, as if trying to dispel the terrifying thought.

A wave of discomfort surged through her chest; her hands clenched into fists, nails digging into her palms.

“I need to see for myself,” she muttered through gritted teeth, spinning on her heel and storming toward the dressing room.

Vivi watched her departure, a cold smirk playing on her lips.

Chapter 305 Absence

Driven by curiosity and with nothing better to do, Vivi decided to follow and witness how the drama would unfold.

Kyla quickly changed into a simple outfit, grabbed her bag, and hurried out of the hall.

She drove through the streets, thoughts of Noah and Averi swirling in her mind.

She couldn’t lose.

She couldn’t let Sadie take Noah away from her.

The sun shone brightly, colorful flags fluttered in the breeze, and the sound of cheerful children’s songs filled the air at the

kindergarten.

Noah stepped onto the scene, his casual attire doing nothing to diminish his inherent sophistication.

His arrival caught the attention of many parents, and even the young teachers found themselves stealing glances.

A young teacher with a ponytail and a shy smile approached him. “Excuse me, sir. May I ask which child’s parent you are?”

“Averi Hudson,” Noah answered simply.

“Averi…” The teacher, Betsey Vargas, was stunned for a moment, then said, “Please, follow me.”

She led Noah toward a corner of the playground.

From a distance, Noah saw a small figure engaged in a heated argument with another child.

“Why didn’t your dad come? Do you even have a dad?” taunted a chubby boy, arms akimbo.

“My dad… My dad is just busy,” Averi insisted, his face flushing red as he stood his ground.

“Hah! I bet you don’t even have a dad. Maybe your mom…” The chubby boy’s taunt was cut off by his mother, a woman clad in a fur coat and dripping with jewelry, who said with a sharp, disparaging tone, “Maybe your mom had you with some

random man. You’re nothing but a bastard.”
