Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94 Nauseating

The servant spoke politely at the doorway.

Sadie hesitated, yearning for nothing more than solitude.

She began to shut the door to escape the social obligations waiting outside. But the conversations drifting up from below

paused her movements.

“Kyla, have you noticed an increase in your weight? Could it possibly mean…?” Isabel’s tone was filled with curious

expectation.

“Really, Isabel? Do you think I appear heavier?” Kyla responded, her voice tinged with a shy happiness.

Sadness washed over Sadie abruptly.

Her hand instinctively moved to her abdomen.

“Both you and Noah aren’t getting younger. It’s time to consider settling down.” Isabel’s voice echoed once more, decisive

and clear.

“I’ll let Noah decide,” responded Kyla, her voice both soft and determined.

Color drained from Sadie’s face.

Breathing became a laborious task for her.

She mused over the irony–her existence and that of her child seemed like some harsh jest, overlooked by all.

Sadie forcefully closed the door, cutting off the sounds of laughter and conversation rising from below.

Resting her back against the wood, she gradually slid down to the carpeted floor.

Her hands wrapped around her abdomen, fingers quivering slightly.

Within her, a new life was taking shape, its future as precarious as hers.

Inhaling sharply, she fought to control the tears threatening to spill.

Her hands shook as she pulled her phone from her pocket and dialed Alex.

“Hello?” Alex answered, his voice tinged with surprise and concern. “Sadie? Is that you? Is everything okay?”

There was a mix of worry and restrained joy in his tone.

“Has Noah been giving you a hard time? I’ve been trying to reach you for days.”

Sadie struggled to hold back her emotions, her voice breaking. “Alex, I need your help. I’m thinking of leaving the country.”

Alex was shocked and responded, “Leaving the country? Can you tell me what’s going on?”

With her eyes shut tightly, Sadie took another deep breath, seeking to steady her overwhelming feelings.

She said, “I feel trapped. He monitors my every move. It feels like I’m suffocating here.”

She hesitated before adding, “I won’t forget this help you’ve given me. And regarding my secret dealings with Mr. Dominguez–I must step back from it. Please handle it yourself. I expect no gains from it.”

The line went quiet.

Then, after a considerable delay, Alex’s response came, subdued and slow. “Are you certain about your decision?”

With unwavering resolve, Sadie replied, “Absolutely.”

A resigned sigh came from Alex. “What should I do next?”

There was a momentary pause as Sadie contemplated, her expression tense. “I’m currently at Myrtlewood Estate. Could you arrange for someone to fetch me this evening? I plan to escape through the window.”

“Please, think this through carefully!” Alex urged with concern in his voice.

“It’s just the second floor; the fall won’t be fatal,” Sadie replied with determination. “I need to get out of here to build a

better future for me and my child.”

Kyla lingered at the doorway, her face betraying no emotion.

Her initial plan had been to bring Sadie downstairs to unsettle her and witness her discomfort.

But she ended up catching Sadie’s conversation about leaving the country.

A chill of satisfaction spread across Kyla’s face.

This was indeed welcome news.

Naturally, she thought to herself, she would “assist” Sadie in her plans.

Without making a sound at the door, Kyla quietly walked away, her lips curled into a cold smile.

Soon after, Noah arrived back at Myrtlewood Estate.

His brow furrowed when he noticed Isabel’s presence.

From the kitchen, Kyla emerged bearing dishes, her smile bright as she invited Noah to dine.

“Dinner is served, Noah,” Kyla called out, her voice calm and gentle, masking any underlying issues.

Noah’s eyes shifted towards the staircase. “Why isn’t she coming downstairs?”

Isabel’s eyebrow arched, her voice laced with annoyance. “Why is that woman still around? Weren’t you going to divorce

her?”

Kyla attempted to diffuse the tension. “Sadie seems unwell today. I’ll check on her.”

“No need,” Noah said.
