Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 311

Chapter 311 Things I Can’t

Tell You

The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime. Sadie was the first to step out, followed closely by Noah, who was carrying

Averi in his arms.

As soon as they were inside the apartment, Averi wiggled himself free and dashed into the living room. “Mr. Wall, look!

This is my building block castle.”

Noah’s gaze followed where his stubby little finger was pointing and saw a complex–looking castle made of colorful blocks

in the corner of the living room. It stood nearly as tall as an adult person.

“Wow! That’s amazing!” Noah’s praise was genuine, his voice holding just the right amount of surprise and admiration.

“Did you build that all by yourself?”

“Uh huh!” Averi nodded, his eyes sparkling with pride. “And over there! Look, Mr. Wall! Look at my drawings.”

He pulled Noah over to the wall, where several vibrant drawings were displayed.

Noah got down on his knees to get a better look at them. There were childlike sketches of flowers and trees, imaginative

depictions of the universe, and one drawing of a family of three, holding hands in a park.

Noah felt a pang in his heart. He pointed at the last drawing and asked, “Is this you, your mom, and your dad?”

Averi nodded at first, then shook his head. “It’s my wish. I wish my mommy and daddy and I can always be together.”

Sadness clouded over the boy’s cheerful expression.

Noah felt the weight of Averi’s words like a blow to the chest.

He glanced over at Sadie, who was standing to the side with a tight expression. She immediately looked away, no doubt

dodging his gaze.

Noah turned his attention back to Averi. “Your wish will definitely come true,” he said with a smile.

“Really?” Averi exclaimed, his face lighting up once more.

“Of course. As long as you behave and do well in school, your mommy and daddy will love you very much.”

Sadie tensed when she heard that. She couldn’t resist calling out in a warning tone, “Noah-”

“Averi.” Noah smoothly cut her off. “Can I play building blocks with you?”

“Of course!” The little boy clapped his hands with glee and pulled Noah toward his castle.

Sadie’s emotions were in a turmoil as she watched them interact.

A part of her knew that Noah was simply putting on an act, yet she couldn’t deny the other part of her that longed for

moments like this, the part that wished time would stop so they could remain this way.

Noah took that opportunity to study the entire apartment.

It was a two–bedroom unit that had old furniture and a sofa with worn patches. The desk in the corner was piled high with design sketches and various professional books.

Every part of this apartment was a testament to the fact that Sadie’s life was far from easy.

It brought another pang to Noah’s heart.

He couldn’t even bear to imagine how she had managed these last few years, raising a child on her own while building a

career.

“Averi, will you play by yourself for a bit? I need to talk to your mom.” Noah excused himself and walked over to Sadie, who stood by the window, watching the city lights outside, seemingly lost in her thoughts.

“What are you thinking about?” Noah asked softly as he sidled up next to her.

His voice jolted Sadie back to her senses. “Nothing,” she muttered, throwing a brief glance his way.

“Are you still mad at me?” Noah probed gently.

Sadie said nothing.

He knew then that she was still harboring a grudge over recent events.

Noah sighed. “I know you’re still upset with me. But I had my reasons three years ago.”

“Reasons?” Sadie scoffed. “So you’re saying you were justified in teaming up with Kyla to deceive me and hurt my family?”

“That’s not I never intended to hurt you or your family.”

“Then tell me, what really happened back then?” Sadie’s voice rose with her emotions. “What made you investigate the car accident? And why did you hide it from me?”

“I…” Noah hesitated, biting back the words that were already on the tip of his tongue.

“Well?” Sadie demanded sharply. “Why aren’t you saying anything? You don’t actually have a reasonable explanation, right?

You were just lying to me.”

“Sadie, please trust me. I’m not lying to you.” Noah’s eyes were filled with sincerity. “It’s just that… There are certain things
