Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 319

Chapter 319 Bond

Noah’s smile vanished instantly, replaced by a shadow of irritation.

He hadn’t expected Alex to show up at the door, entering with a key.

Alex was equally stunned to find Noah in Sadie’s apartment, hesitating briefly before his expression settled into an

uncomfortable calm.

He had rushed over after receiving Carol’s call, concerned for Sadie and Averi.

“Alex!” Averi beamed, his excitement clear as he greeted Alex.

Noah’s brow furrowed deeper.

He was puzzled why Averi referred to Alex, his biological father, so informally.

Yet, Noah could feel the deep bond between the two, which sparked an unexplainable irritation within him.

He set down the bowl he was holding, his voice cold as he addressed Alex. “Mr. Howe, isn’t it a bit inappropriate to show

up unannounced at this hour?”

Alex’s hands tightened into fists at his sides.

Clearly, Noah was sending a warning.

Taking a controlled breath, Alex managed to keep his anger at bay, responding evenly, “Mr. Wall, I was just concerned for

Sadie and Averi.”

“Concerned?” Noah’s scoff was sharp. “Mr. Howe, don’t you think your ‘concern‘ is rather excessive? Sadie and Averi are

under my care.”

“Your care?” Doubt clouded Alex’s eyes.

“Don’t bother yourself, Mr. Howe,” Noah continued, his tone edged with a challenge. “You seem to find reasons to show up

often. Could it be that you have… ulterior motives?”

Alex looked visibly annoyed.

He struggled to maintain his composure, replying sharply, “Watch your language, Noah!”

“Watch my language?” Noah mocked. “Mr. Howe, remember this is Sadie’s home, not your domain. What right do you have

to tell me what to say?”

“I…” Alex started, but was interrupted by a familiar voice.

“What are you two arguing about?”

Sadie had just walked in.

She lingered in the doorway, her expression one of puzzlement as she absorbed the charged atmosphere of her apartment.

Upon seeing Sadie, Alex immediately tempered his demeanor, his frustration yielding to a tender concern. “You’re back,

Sadie.”

He approached her, his tone warm. “Are you okay? I was worried about you and Averi…”

Sadie met his gaze briefly, her response detached. “I’m fine.”

“Sadie.” Alex paused, struggling with his words. “About earlier today… I’m sorry. My mother didn’t mean any harm.”

Sadie’s complexion blanched.

She steadied herself, replying, “Alex, the issue was a misunderstanding on your mother’s part.”

“But…” Alex attempted to elaborate, but Sadie interrupted him. “That’s enough. Let’s drop it.” Her voice bore exhaustion.

“I’m tired. I need to rest.”

Alex looked at her, his face etched with worry.

He opened his mouth to speak, seeking to comfort her, but found himself at a loss for words.

Noah observed from a distance, his demeanor cool.

He could sense the special bond between Sadie and Alex, a connection he felt excluded from.

Jealousy gnawed at him, fueling a wild speculation that Sadie and Alex might have discussed serious commitments, like

marriage.

This thought only deepened his irritation.

“Pak!” Abruptly, Noah snapped his fingers.

Instantly, men in black suits burst in, their movements swift and coordinated, as they encircled Alex.

“What are you doing, Noah?” Sadie exclaimed, panic rising as she stepped forward to intervene.

But Noah was quick to seize her wrist, drawing her close.

His eyes were cold as he stared at Alex. “Take him away.”

“Understood, Mr. Wall,” the men in black responded in unison, moving to apprehend Alex.

“Let me go! Let go of me!” Alex struggled in vain.
