Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54 Lying Wasn’t Any Easier

A chill crept down Sadie’s spine, leaving her momentarily speechless, scrambling for the right words.

Laura’s eyes locked onto Sadie’s forehead, and her face paled with horror. “You’re injured? Did that person come after you

to settle the score?”

Her voice quivered, thick with fear and panic. “Sweetheart, listen to me–stay out of someone else’s marriage. You need to

cut ties with that man immediately.”

With each word, Laura’s anxiety swelled, her breaths growing ragged as her chest rose and fell in frantic waves.

Sadie felt as though an invisible fist had clenched around her heart, squeezing until it was hard to breathe.

“Grandma, it’s not like that,” she said, her voice shaky despite her efforts to steady it.

But Laura’s doubtful gaze didn’t waver, and Sadie exhaled deeply, the weight of misunderstanding pressing down on her.

“Where are the photos?” she asked softly.

Laura pointed towards her clothes. “In my pocket.”

After she left the resurrection room, a nurse had swapped her clothes for a sterile patient gown. The nurse had then put

her belongings in this ward.

Sadie stepped over to the clothes, her hands fumbling through the fabric until her fingertips brushed against something stiff and glossy.

She pulled out the photos.

There, frozen in glossy stillness, were images of her and Noah,

His arm was wrapped around her waist, shielding her in a way that felt far too intimate. The closeness between them was

undeniable, almost tender.

Sadie’s breath caught in her throat.

‘She couldn’t even recall a moment when she’d been that close to Noah.

A bitter knot twisted in her chest, rising like bile.

How was she supposed to explain this to Laura?

If she confessed the truth–that the man, in the photos was her husband–then when the inevitable divorce happened, it

would only stir up a bigger mess.

But lying wasn’t any easier.

Sadie clutched the photos tighter, her mind racing for an answer.

After a shaky inhale, she forced a smile and walked back to Laura. “The man in the photos is my boss, Noah Wall,” she said,

trying to sound casual. “He’s still single.”

Every word that slipped from Sadie’s lips was the truth.

Her marriage to Noah was a well–kept secret, buried deep enough that no online search could unearth their marital records.

But Laura’s skeptical gaze lingered, her clouded eyes narrowing with worry. “I hope you’re not lying to me.”

Without missing a beat, Sadie pulled out her phone and typed, searching for proof right there and then.

The loading icon spun in circles before the results popped up.

Noah’s public profile stared back at them, his marital status boldly stamped: Single.

Sadie shrugged, forcing an easy tone. “See? There’s no truth in that rumor about me interfering in someone else’s marriage.”
