Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 458

Chapter 458 Someone Who Could Help Her

“Ever since you took over the Wall Group, Sadie, we have been feeling the loss of your talents in the design industry. After all, you are Amy’s most accomplished student.”

Barry shook his head as he spoke. Then, as if he had just remembered something, he suddenly perked up. “Patrick, aren’t you and Ms. Burgess planning to hold your wedding here? Why don’t you commission Sadie to design your jewelry pieces? It’s been ages since we last saw her work. I’m sure whatever she makes will be stunning!”

Sadie froze in her seat.

Wedding?

Designing wedding jewelry for Patrick and Hailey…

A sense of discomfort stirred within her, one she could barely define, let alone explain.

“What do you think, Ms. Hudson?” Noah asked, his eyes back on Sadie.

The question snapped her back to reality, and she blinked to meet his gaze.

For the sake of their future business partnership, she swallowed her discomfort and mustered a tight smile.

“It would be my honor.”

Designing jewelry was her forte, and creating wedding pieces for the CEO of the Burgess Group would be an excellent opportunity for the design department’s publicity.

She justified the decision in her mind, and ultimately convinced herself that she was doing the right thing.

“Then it’s settled.” Noah said, his tone neutral.

Barry clapped his hands in delight. “Wonderful! I can guarantee that Sadie’s designs will make your wedding even more

perfect!”

He rubbed his hands together, his eyes twinkling as he envisioned the grand event.

Sadie remained polite and said nothing, though she knew how awkward and forced her smile was.

The rest of the meal went on with an underlying tension.

Barry was lively and talkative as ever, and he never seemed to run out of design topics to discuss.

Noah would respond occasionally, but his interest was minimal.

Sadie would interject now and then, but she was silent for the most part.

When they were done, Barry left in a rush to attend to other engagements, leaving Sadie and Noah alone yet again.

However, the atmosphere had turned quiet and heavy.

Sadie’s first instinct was to leave the scene as quickly as she could. “If there’s nothing else, Mr. Noel, I shall be on my way.”

“Wait,” Noah suddenly called out, surprising the both of them. “About the jewelry design… When do you plan to start?”

“As soon as possible, if that’s okay. Do you and Ms. Burgess have any specific requests? Any ideas?”

Noah fell silent for a moment, his gaze growing complex. “Hailey has always had a penchant for designs that are

understated yet graceful.

As for me…” He paused, as if thinking it over in his head. “Anything is fine.”

Sadie’s eyes widened slightly. She had expected someone like Patrick to have high demands for something so important as

his wedding, but he was just being casual about it.

“I see,” Sadie murmured with a nod. “I’ll draft a preliminary design and send it over for you to look through.”

Noah hummed in acknowledgment and said nothing else.

Sadie bid him farewell again, just to be polite, and he didn’t stop her when she walked away.

Patrick shifted in his seat, his narrowed gaze fixed outside. As he watched Sadie get in the car and drive away, the strange,

unknown feeling in his heart grew more pronounced.

What was that just now? Why was he always reluctant to let her go?

Why did he always have this nagging sense that she was special to him?

Meanwhile, inside the car, Sadie’s thoughts were in disarray as well.

She had gone to meet Patrick to bag the collaboration deal. How did she end up designing his wedding jewelry.

More importantly… Was he really not Noah?

Even after seeing all the information on his background laid out in fine detail, Sadie couldn’t shake off the feeling that she

was missing something. But for the life of her, she didn’t know where to even begin looking.

Sadie leaned back and closed her eyes.

Tina suddenly spoke from the driver’s seat. “Oh, Samuel called earlier, by the way. Mr. Castro has returned home. Should

we head straight over?”

Sadie slowly opened her eyes. “Sure.”

She had successfully secured the deal with the Burgess Group, and Ralph was finally back. Surely, that meant only good

things ahead of her.

They arrived at Ralph’s house half an hour later.

Sadie knew the place like the back of her mind at this point. She let her feet carry her to the main hall, and instantly spotted Ralph in his regal armchair.

“You’re here, Ms. Hudson,” Samuel greeted respectfully.

Ralph looked up. His stern face broke into a warm smile the moment he saw Sadie.

“Sadie, my dear! Come here.” Ralph’s voice was loud and filled with excitement.
