Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 622

Chapter 622 Have A Good

Rest

Once she ended the call, Sadie lifted her head and locked eyes with Noah, who had just stepped into the room. Her stare was sharp enough to freeze him mid–step.

A cold smirk played on her lips, untouched by warmth.

“So tell me, Mr. Noel,” she said, voice low and edged with frost, “what exactly are you trying to achieve by having someone trail my people?”

Noah, holding a lunchbox in both hands, looked genuinely concerned.

He placed the lunchbox down on the table beside her bed and gently lifted the lid.

The rich scent of freshly made soup spread through the room.

“Sadie, are you sure you haven’t misunderstood something?” he asked, his expression filled with wide–eyed

innocence. “I don’t recall doing anything like that.”

Without a word, Sadie placed her phone on the table and fixed him with a steely gaze.

She didn’t have the patience for evasions.

“Jack has already been detained by my people,” she said, her tone as dry as sand. “So Mr. Noel, let’s stop

pretending.”

Noah’s hand paused above the lunchbox. His boyish facade cracked for a moment, replaced by something sharper–a hint of amusement flickered in his eyes.

“Your people don’t waste time,” he said, nodding slowly. “I’ll admit, you caught me off guard.”

He pulled the lid off completely, letting the soup’s fragrance swirl freely through the air.

“Still, Jack disappointed me, getting caught so easily,” he added, letting out a light laugh. “Maybe I should gift- wrap him and send him over? If you’re running short on staff, you can have him.”

Sadie’s frown deepened. She had no interest in his games and even less patience for his attitude.

“Cut it out,” she said sharply. Her voice dropped, gaining an edge. “I don’t care what game you’re playing. But if your people keep sniffing around where they don’t belong.” She paused, her eyes locking onto his with an icy glare. “Don’t expect me to stay quiet.”

Noah blinked, just once. For a fleeting second, her words cut deeper than expected.

Was she seriously ready to turn against him for whoever was holed up in that apartment?

No trace of emotion cracked through his calm. His smile stayed fixed, like her words hadn’t even touched him.

Chapter 622 Have A Good Rest

Instead of answering, he stayed focused, scooping a spoonful of soup and gently blowing on it before holding it

out toward her.

The gesture caught Sadle completely off guard

This was a moment for hard truths, not gentle kindness. She was laying down a warning, and here he was feeding her?

A flicker of amusement crossed Nosh’s face when he noticed her stunned expression

“You haven’t eaten properly since last night,” he said, his voice much softer now. “The doctor told me you need rest and actual food in your system. Just try a little, alright?

Noah’s concern was not fake. Sadie could see that much. And honestly, her stomach had been aching for something warm.

After a brief pause, she leaned forward slightly and let him feed her the soup.

The heat of it was comforting. Smooth and mild, it settled into her belly like a quiet balm.

She swallowed slowly, then grabbed a tissue and dabbed at the corner of her mouth.

“I’m not hungry,” she muttered, her tone cold and distant. As if the woman who had just taken a spoonful had

not been her at all.

Her eyes drifted to the window. The first hints of morning were creeping into the sky.

“I’ll be discharged once the sun’s up.”

Was she racing back to that secret lover in Rosehill Apartments? Noah’s hand froze midway, the spoon still in his grip. A flash of something dark passed over his face as frustration rose like a tide.

“No,” he said, his voice dropping into something low and firm. “You’re not ready. Your fever might’ve gone down, but you’re still not well enough to leave.”

Sadie slowly turned to face him, stunned that he had actually denied her that.

“That sounds like a personal problem, Mr. Noel,” said Sadie, her voice laced with cool detachment. “You should focus on your own household. Your wife is pregnant. Shouldn’t your energy be spent on taking care of her?”

Her words acted like a spark, immediately setting fire to the emotions Noah had been holding back for so long.

He lifted his head, eyes narrowing with sudden intensity.

“Hailey doesn’t mean anything to me,” he said, his tone low but deliberate.

The seriousness in his voice caught Sadie off guard.

Hailey didn’t mean anything to him?

What was that supposed to mean?
