What She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 400

Finnian drove Elaine straight to Noelle's hospital. Because his flight was rapidly approaching, he couldn't afford to go inside and simply sent his mother up to the ward alone.

Elaine pushed the hospital room door open, her voice trembling violently. "Noelle... you foolish girl! Why didn't you tell me something this monumental immediately?!"

Seeing Elaine, Noelle's eyes instantly welled up with perfectly timed tears. "Mom!"

"You are way too stubborn for your own good," Elaine scolded, though she couldn't hide the radiant joy bursting across her face. "How were you planning to carry this burden all by yourself? You terrified us!"

Hearing Elaine's words sent a genuine rush of warmth through Noelle's chest. She knew Elaine's sharp tongue hid a fiercely protective nature. "Mom, I'm okay. The babies are okay. Please don't worry," she whispered softly.

"Thank God. Oh, heavens, I never imagined you'd bless me with a miracle like this. Rafael is surely smiling down from above right now." Words couldn't even begin to capture Elaine's sheer euphoria. It was as if she had just won the ultimate lottery.

Noelle had predicted this exact reaction. As long as she successfully delivered these babies, she would instantly become the ultimate heroine of the Sanders family—an untouchable treasure. Even if that cruel old bat Josephine tried to make her life miserable, there was absolutely zero chance she would ever be cast out again.

"Mom, these are Rafael's children. No matter how much pain I have to endure, I will bring them into this world. I have to ensure his legacy survives," Noelle declared, her face the very picture of unyielding devotion.

"You're a good girl. Tell me, what are you craving? I'll have the private chefs make it immediately. You're far too skinny; we need to build your strength back up."

Noelle leaned delicately against Elaine's arm and shook her head. "My stomach is just so unsettled right now. I really don't have an appetite for anything special."

Elaine refused to leave. Unable to bear the thought of stepping away, she sat rigidly by the bed, ready to guard the room indefinitely.

At precisely 3:00 PM, the private jet took off. A team of ten was on board, including Silas and Finnian. The second the plane reached cruising altitude, the cabin transformed into a war room as the team meticulously ran through the negotiation strategies.

When it came to the technical intricacies, Kaia was an absolute powerhouse. She possessed the authority and brilliance to dismantle every theoretical roadblock her team threw at her, earning their total, unspoken respect.

Finnian sat quietly on the sidelines, listening to the debate. Since taking the reins at Veridian, Silas hadn't just sharpened his management skills; he had clearly invested heavy hours into understanding Kaia's R&D department. Silas was actively participating in the high-level technical discussions, offering incredibly sharp insights.

Every time Kaia looked at Silas, her eyes shone with unmistakable admiration and validation.
