Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73 Agreed

Sadie had managed to cover Laura’s medical bills by selling the “gifts” Noah had given her.

Now, she needed to save money for the baby.

She knew that to raise her child alone, she would need a reliable source of income.

The ambiance in the restaurant was set by soft lighting and soothing music.

Taking a deep breath, Sadie looked across the table at Alex and said, “Alex, I need to talk about that project with Mr. Dominguez. Could you set up a meeting for us soon?” Her voice was soft yet insistent, her eyes conveying her resolve.

Alex’s expression softened with understanding. He recognized her need for financial freedom as a step towards cutting ties

with Noah.

“Let’s do it tomorrow. I’ll organize a get–together and make sure he’s there,” Alex responded, his tone both smooth and supportive. “Roy won’t say no to family friends.”

A thankful smile crossed Sadie’s face. “That means a lot. Thank you, Alex.” She reached to pour herself wine, but Alex

stopped her.

“Remember, Sadie, you’re pregnant; you shouldn’t be drinking,” Alex cautioned gently.

Sadie’s hand paused, and her eyes momentarily flickered.

Alex then gestured to a waiter. “Please bring us some orange juice instead.”

Soon, the waiter brought the orange juice, and Sadie accepted it, tasting the sweet–sour liquid. While it refreshed her, it did little to alleviate the lingering sadness.

She lifted her glass of orange juice, toasting Alex. “Thank you, truly.”

With a warm smile, Alex raised his glass and quickly finished his wine, appreciating Sadie’s resilience and her silent

perseverance.

Later, Alex drove Sadie back to her temporary home at the guesthouse.

When they arrived, Alex looked at Sadie as he parked the car. “Noah has demanded you return. Do you plan to go back?”

Sadie firmly shook her head. “I like it here at the guesthouse. Please keep my location a secret from him.”

Respecting her wishes, Alex simply nodded and asked nothing more.

Leaving the guesthouse, Alex felt a lightness in his step. Tonight, despite her fatigue, Sadie exuded a captivating resilience.

He liked this side of her, reminding him of a resilient flower weathering the storm.

“Hey there, young man,” called out Katie Rivera, the innkeeper, who was chubby but surprisingly nimble. She greeted him

with a sly smile.

Alex stopped and gave her a respectful nod. “What can I do for you, Katie?”
