Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72 Don’t Be Scared

Today was Kyla’s birthday.

To celebrate, Noah had brought her to this high–end dining establishment.

Was Sadie perhaps celebrating Alex’s birthday as well?

He wondered how Sadie and Alex had grown so close.

Jealousy gnawed at him.

A recent conversation with Kyla came to mind.

She had mentioned that Sadie and Alex were often seen together.

At that moment, Noah hadn’t thought much of it.

Now, however, the thought consumed him.

A heavy feeling pressed on his chest, suffocating him.

His composure shattered.

“Let’s go home now!” Noah’s demand came as he grasped Sadie’s wrist forcefully.

Sadie faltered and nearly fell from the sudden pull.

She resisted vehemently, her expression tight with frustration. “Release me!”

Her wrist throbbed painfully.

Annoyance surged within her.

How dare he manhandle her in such a manner?

Noah’s gaze was intense, his voice brooking no opposition. “You don’t have a choice, Sadie.”

He contained his fury, his grip on her wrist unyielding, as if trying to fuse her into his existence.

Just as Noah tried to pull Sadie closer, Alex intervened, grasping her other wrist.

“Sadie’s not going back with you. Stop forcing her!” Alex said resolutely, meeting Noah’s eyes without faltering.

As he felt the tremor in Sadie’s wrist, his heart was filled with empathy for her.

Noah spun around, his eyes sharp and fixed intently on Alex. “Release Sadie now!”

The air crackled with tension, charged with an unspoken threat.

Suddenly, a loud “Bang!” shattered the silence.

Kyla had sunk to the floor, gripping her chest.

Her complexion turned ghostly, her lips colorless, her breaths shallow.

“Kyla!” Noah immediately turned his focus to her.

The sound also startled Sadie, who instinctively glanced over at Kyla.

With great effort, Kyla murmured faintly, “It’s… it’s alright… Don’t fret over me… I’ll… I’ll manage…”

Her voice trailed off weakly, each word seemingly her last.

Noah’s expression darkened with a hint of annoyance.

The memory of Kyla’s chronic heart issue being a result of a past sacrifice to save him flashed through his mind.

He quickly stifled his frustration.

His eyes moved from Sadie to Alex, finally resting on Sadie with a complex look.

“I don’t care what you and Alex are doing at the restaurant,” he said coldly, his voice carrying a sharp edge of authority.

“Just ensure you return by eight tonight.”

A heaviness settled in Sadie’s chest.

His words stabbed at her like a sharp needle.
