Chapter 524 Spending
Time With Averi
“If… If Patrick regains his memory and abandons me, then my baby will lose its father! What should I do then?” Hailey
choked on her words like a helpless and fragile girl. “I’m begging you, Evan! For the sake of the baby I’m carrying, help me, your friend, out just this once! Just this once, please!”
Outside, Sadie heard every word clearly.
Her fists were clenched so tight, her nails were almost drawing blood from her palms.
Hailey was pregnant?
The revelation struck Sadie like a bolt of lightning, shaking her to her very core.
She couldn’t listen to another word. Her stomach roiled, and a wave of nausea threatened to bubble up her throat.
Scrambling to her feet, she hurried out of the restaurant in a daze and jumped into the car parked by the road.
Samuel glanced at her from the driver’s seat. Seeing her exit the restaurant so quickly had initially made him assume that
the meeting had gone well.
But upon closer inspection, he realized that Sadie was deathly pale. He swallowed the words he was about to say.
As for Sadie, her thoughts were still a mess.
Hailey was pregnant… She was actually pregnant… Was the baby Noah’s? Yes, of course it was! Who else could it be? They
were husband and wife, after all. Everyone knew it!
Sadie scoffed at herself. Who did she think she was?
In the end, she could only muster a bitter smile at her predicament.
Even if Noah regained his memory, what difference would it make?
Hailey was already pregnant.
As things stood, there really was no point in revealing the truth anymore.
Sadie took a deep breath and calmed herself. When she lifted her head again, her eyes were clear and devoid of any
emotion.
“Let’s head home.”
Samuel simply nodded and started the car.
Even as they pulled up in front of Myrtlewood Estate, Sadie was deep in her thoughts. She only came back to her senses when Samuel spoke.

Chapter 524 Spending Time With Averi
“We’ve arrived, Ms. Hudson.”
Sadie nodded and pushed the car door open to get out.
Just as her feet touched the gravel path, a familiar voice–deep and gentle–called out to her. “Sadie.”
She froze in her tracks. Her body was rigid as she slowly turned around.
Sure enough, Noah stood there, seemingly waiting or her.
He wasn’t wearing that cold silver mask today, and his handsome features appeared somewhat soft.
Sadie’s hands balled into fists again as the things she had overheard at Dinner Bell came crashing back in full force.
She said nothing and quickly looked away, intending to flee into the safety of her villa.
She was trying to avoid him, and Noah knew it.
He took two long strides and grabbed her arm. “What’s wrong?”
Her skin was cold to the touch, sending a chill down his spine.
Sadie forcefully pulled her arm free and took several steps away for good measure. “Aren’t you supposed to be with your wife and baby, Mr. Noel?” she asked sarcastically. “What are you doing here, seeking me out at this hour? Do you have a new business project to discuss? If not, then please leave. If you do, then you’ll have to wait until the morning, and we can
talk about it during my working hours.”
She still refused to look at Noah.
By then, Averi had heard the commotion from the living room, and he came bounding out the door and down the steps
toward them.
The boy’s eyes immediately lit up when they fell on the man who resembled his father so much. Averi didn’t even hesitate
to rush over and hug Noah’s leg.
“Dad, you’re back! That’s great! Mom and I have missed you so much.”
A small gasp escaped Sadie’s lips. She hadn’t seen this coming at all. Worse yet, Averi’s words broke her heart.
Noah lost his memory and had already started a new family, but Averi was still his son, after all. She couldn’t be selfish
and keep the two away from each other.
