Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41 What Are You Doing

“Noah…” Sadie’s voice trembled, barely audible. “I…”

Feeling a clench in his heart, Noah didn’t hesitate; he lifted Sadie into his arms.

As the world seemed to whirl around her, Sadie soon found herself cradled in a warm, yet strange, embrace.

She inhaled deeply, a blend of perfume and a trace of tobacco filling her senses a scent that was unmistakably Noah’s.

“Noah, what are you doing?” Sadie asked, trying to wriggle free, but his grip only tightened.

“Stay still. We’re heading to the hospital,” Noah commanded, his expression severe, tolerating no opposition.

Confusion swirled within him once more, deep and perplexing.

“I don’t want to go to the hospital!” The word “hospital” alone set Sadie on edge. She shoved hard against Noah’s chest. “Put me down!”

Without hesitation, Noah lifted her into the car and said to the driver, “Take us to the hospital.”

“I don’t want to go to the hospital! Let me out!” Sadie cried out, her voice edged with desperation and despair.

Observing her ashen face and the defiant look in her eyes, Noah felt a surge of frustration. He firmly grasped her shoulders, his voice stern and urgent. “Sadie, stop this nonsense! If you felt unwell, why did you even meet with Roy?”

Pinned by his firm hold, Sadie ceased her struggles.

A sarcastic laugh escaped her, filled with self–derision. “What does it matter at this point? Wasn’t my bonus already cut? Today was just a futile effort on my part. So tell me, are you pleased now?”

Noah noticed the bitterness in Sadie’s gaze, and without thinking, his hold grew firmer, his tone colder. “Is your rush to accumulate wealth tied to your eagerness for a divorce?”

The pain in Sadie’s heart intensified as she looked into the eyes of the man she once adored, now confronting her so harshly. It felt as if needles were piercing through her heart, causing a deep, persistent ache.

Could it be that his frustration stemmed from a reluctance to end their marriage? Unlikely, considering Kyla was anxiously awaiting her turn to be his wife. How could Noah stand to disappoint the woman he loved?

As these thoughts raced through her mind, any faint hope Sadie clung to crumbled to nothing.

With a bitter chuckle and tears welling up in her eyes–yet defiantly not spilling over–Sadie forcefully removed Noah’s hands.

Her voice was steady and resolute, each word pushed out between gritted teeth. “Why deceive yourself? You’re just as keen for this divorce, aren’t you? Here’s your chance, right before you.”
