What She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 501

Moreover, using such a sudden way of isolating her, pushing her away?

"Finnian Sanders, you can't treat me like this. It's not fair." Noelle Lawrence was furious, her fingers curling into tight fists. She muttered resentfully, "I only confessed my feelings to you. Why do you have to be so cruel?"

She propped her cheek against her hand, tears slipping down her face unbidden.

She remembered Elaine Sanders telling her to move back to her own family's house. She thought it was only temporary, that once the baby was born and Elaine's anger faded, she could return to the Sanders family.

Now, she wasn't so sure. She felt the Sanders family distancing themselves, systematically erasing her from their lives.

The mere thought of that outcome made Noelle's heart skip a beat.

First, resigning from Aethelstan Biopharma, fading out of the conglomerate's social circle, and finally, having her ties to the Sanders family completely severed.

"No, no, I won't accept this. I don't want this..." Noelle smashed her phone onto the bed like a lunatic and covered her ears with her hands.

Just then, a fluttering sensation rippled through her lower abdomen, as if the baby had kicked her.

She slowly leaned against the wall and slid down to the floor.

Was one wrong move really enough to ruin everything? Did she not even have the chance to make amends?

She shouldn't have been so impatient. She should have been more resilient. Didn't hunters lie in wait precisely to ambush their prey?

She had only panicked and made a mistake because she saw that they were getting divorced.

The Celebration Dinner at the penthouse was in full swing.

Someone immediately approached, smiling and greeting her. Silas picked up a glass of red wine from a passing waiter's tray and gallantly handed it to Kaia.

Kaia took it naturally, clinking glasses and conversing with the guest, a faint smile touching her lips.

Standing in the crowd, Finnian watched Kaia from a distance. People surrounded her, eager to say hello. She handled them with poise, but the sheer volume of guests occasionally overwhelmed her, a fleeting hint of shyness crossing her face. Whenever she couldn't immediately place a face, she would turn to Silas for help.

Silas would immediately smile and step in to smooth things over. She would then flash a bright smile and shake the person's hand. Standing beside her, Silas looked like a younger companion, but one harboring wild ambitions and ulterior motives. The way he looked at her was far from innocent.

A business partner standing next to Finnian chuckled. "Your wife looks absolutely stunning tonight."

Finnian offered a polite smile, but the wine suddenly tasted bitter as it slid down his throat.

There were plenty of men crowding around Kaia, and even more women seizing the opportunity to approach Finnian.
