Chapter 320 Return With
Me
Noah leaned close and whispered in Sadie’s ear, “If you ever need a man… you know where to find me.”
A wave of embarrassment washed over Sadie, making her want to vanish right then and there.
With all her strength, she pushed Noah away, shouting, “Noah Wall, have you lost your mind? You’re completely insane.”
Noah, taken aback, stumbled but quickly recovered, his lips twisting into a smirk.
Straightening his collar, which Sadie had rumpled, he retorted coolly, “Aren’t you the best judge of whether I’m insane?”
Sadie trembled, struggling to regain her composure.
“Give me back my son!” she demanded, her voice firm despite her shaking.
Noah’s gaze was inscrutable, deep and dark. “Sadie, just return to Myrtlewood Estate and I promise, no harm will come to
any of you.”
His tone was threatening, with a hint of anticipation barely detectable beneath the surface.
Sadie froze.
Myrtlewood Estate… the place that was once her and Noah’s home, the site of so many past terrors.
How could she consider returning there?
But Noah had Averi.
Her mind whirled with turmoil, fear clashing with resolve.
She couldn’t risk Averi’s safety.
She had to protect him.
Yet, considering her plan that was already in motion, perhaps returning to Myrtlewood Estate could allow her to watch a good show.
Sadie clenched her fists, resolve hardening.
Slowly, she raised her head.
“Alright…” Her voice was faint, barely audible. “I agree…”
She capitulated.
Noah’s expression softened as he gazed into her weary eyes.
He pulled her close, resting his chin on her head, and murmured, “That’s my good girl. I won’t hurt you. Everything will be

fine.”
Sadie bit her lip to stifle her tears, her body tense as stone.
“Welcome back, Mr. and Mrs. Wall,” Breck said, his voice echoing through the grand entrance of Myrtlewood Estate. Alongside him, a line of servants bowed deeply.
It was a reception befitting esteemed guests rather than the estate’s rightful residents.
Noah escorted Sadie into the villa, his grip firm and unyielding.
She remained silent, her thoughts a chaotic whirl.
“Mommy!” Averi’s voice snapped Sadie out of her reverie.
She turned to see Averi at the dining table, delighting in a piece of exquisite cake.
His face was playfully smeared with cream, reminiscent of a kitten that had dipped its whiskers into milk.
Relief washed over Sadie at the sight of her son safe and content.
“Averi,” she murmured as she approached him, her voice soft as she stroked his hair.
“Mommy, you’re finally here! I’ve been waiting so long,” Averi said, his smile bright, showing off his small white teeth.
Sadie’s heart twisted with a mix of joy and sorrow.
“Averi has been very well–behaved, waiting for you two to return,” Breck added timely, bringing a formal tone to the warm
moment.
He turned to Noah with a deferential bow. “Mr. Wall, dinner is served. It includes all the favorite dishes of you, Mrs. Wall,
and Averi. Shall we begin?”
Noah gave a subtle nod of approval.
He led Sadie to the dining table and personally served her a bowl of soup.
“Try some soup to warm up,” he suggested, his tone gentle, a stark contrast to his earlier demeanor.
Sadie looked down at the creamy soup before her, feeling no hunger.
She held the bowl, her fingers trembling slightly, unable to lift the spoon.
“What’s wrong? Not to your taste?” Noah inquired, his eyebrow arched.
“Not exactly,” Sadie replied, managing a weak smile. “I don’t feel like eating.”
“At least eat a little. I wouldn’t want you to go hungry,” Noah said casually, continuing his meal.
The dinner atmosphere was tense and heavy.
Meanwhile, Averi ate with uninhibited joy, his giggles filling the room, oblivious to the strained silence between the adults.
After the meal, Noah excused himself, retreating to the study to attend to business.
Sadie followed Breck to the master bedroom.
It was the very room she had once shared with Noah.
As she glanced around, each corner, each piece of furniture, seemed to echo with memories of their past together.

The weight of those memories became too much, and she turned to leave.
“Where are you going, Mrs. Wall?” Breck blocked the doorway, his tone polite but firm.
“I… I just need some fresh air,” Sadie replied, her voice betraying her fluster.
“Mr. Wall has instructed that you are not to leave Myrtlewood Estate tonight,” Breck informed her, his face expressionless. “Perhaps you should consider retiring to bed.”
Sadie trembled slightly, resigned.
