Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 470

Chapter 470 What Else

Happened

The villa in the suburbs was brightly lit.

Hailey had stayed up all night, anxiously waiting for Noah’s return.

The moment she heard the door open, her face broke into a joyful smile, and she practically scrambled to her feet to greet

him.

“Noah, you’re finally home! I was so worried about you.” Hailey pursed her lips into a pout, her tone aggrieved.

Noah was visibly taken aback by her behavior.

He paused and studied the woman before him. The delicate makeup she had on and the gentle smile she gave did evoke a

memory of the past.

Deep down, however, he felt no romantic feelings toward Hailey. If anything, there was a keen sense of aversion, bordering

on repulsion.

He instinctively stepped to the side to put some distance between them.

“Some issues came up at the company,” Noah said flatly. “I had to stay and take care of them.”

Hailey’s smile faltered. She could sense Noah’s sudden coldness toward her, and it only fed into her growing unease.

Just where had he been last night? Who had he been with?

Hailey forced herself to continue smiling.

“I’m glad you’re okay. I was worried something happened to you. Why don’t I make you something to eat?” she offered, already turning toward the kitchen.

But Noah’s words stopped her. “There’s no need. I’m tired, so I’ll head upstairs to rest.”

Hailey paused mid–step. She pressed her lips into a thin line to keep herself from asking more questions.

She managed a small nod. “Right, you should rest. No matter how busy work gets, you need to take care of yourself.”

Noah hummed in acknowledgment before trudging up the stairs. Not once did he glance back at her.

Hailey’s smile finally dropped when he disappeared into the second floor landing.

Something was wrong here, very, very wrong.

Noah had acted aloof since he walked into the villa- a sharp contrast to how he usually treated her.

Hailey felt her heart sank.

She turned her attention outside, where Noah’s car was still parked. The driver waited by the vehicle, his stance measured

and respectful.

Hailey headed outside to talk to him. “Do you know where Noah went last night?” She tried to keep her tone steady, not

wanting to seem too anxious.

The driver hesitated, clearly surprised by the young lady’s question. He wasn’t quite sure how to respond.

His apprehension did not escape Hailey’s notice. She softened her tone. “It’s all right. Just tell me the truth. I won’t hold it

against you.”

The driver took a few more seconds to make up his mind. When he did speak, he sounded nervous. “Well, Ms. Burgess, Mr.

Noel went to deal with matters regarding Mr. Sutton Wall.”

He glanced at Hailey warily, afraid that he had said something wrong.

Sutton? Hailey’s heart skipped a beat. A voice in the back of her head told her that the matters in question might have

something to do with her.

“What happened with Sutton? Tell me everything you know.”

Feeling pressured now, the driver recounted the events of the previous night, including how Sutton had hired thugs to abduct Hailey, only for them to kidnap Sadie by mistake. He then went on to explain how Noah had arrived at the scene just in time to stop the evil men from doing anything to Sadie.

Hailey’s eyes widened with shock and horror as she listened.

A lot had happened last night, and she didn’t even have any idea.

So, Sutton had tried to harm her? That fool!

A strange mix of fear and relief washed over her.

On the one hand, it was a good thing that Noah had dealt with Sutton, sparing her from future trouble with her previous

paramour.

On the other, Noah had ultimately done it all to save Sadie.

So, what else happened? What did they do after Noah rescued Sadie?

Hailey felt a ball of dread in the pit of her stomach.
