Whats She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 400

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 chels 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.

Finnian lowered his gaze, glaring intensely at the water glass in his hand. When the meeting finally wrapped up, Kaia, visibly exhausted, leaned back in her leather seat and closed her eyes to rest.

Finnian asked the flight attendant for a blanket and gently draped it over Kaia. She briefly opened her eyes, shot him an unreadable look, and went right back to sleep without saying a word.

Finnian sat beside her, mechanically flipping through a stack of

documents, but his mind was completely paralyzed. He couldn’t absorb a single word.

The grueling flight finally came to an end as the team touched down near Cytogene’s European headquarters in Germany.

The massive, tempered-glass exterior of the facility gleamed so fiercely under the sun it was almost blinding.

They were greeted by Cytogene’s Global VP of R&D, a silver-haired German executive who had fully prepped for this summit. He stepped forward with an eager stride, shaking Kaia’s hand firmly before making his way down the line to greet Finnian and the rest of the team. The entire exchange was conducted flawlessly in English. Aside from a few junior members, the vast majority of the team engaged without missing a beat.

Because they were operating on a razor-thin timeline, the team plunged straight into a brutal four-hour marathon meeting the second they left the tarmac. Kaia commanded the room, delivering the entire presentation single-handedly.

Finnian and Silas sat off to the side, both completely mesmerized as Kaia fluidly transitioned between the whiteboard and the digital projections. Their eyes mirrored the exact same fierce appreciation for the woman dominating the floor.

Noelle’s expression froze. She knew asking him to cancel the trip was a massive overreach, but she had needed to test the waters-to see if he would hesitate, if he would feel guilty, if he would choose her over the company.

It felt as though fate had handed her all the sweetness in life early on, only to force-feed her pure misery now.

“If anything happens, call me immediately,” Finnian instructed before turning to leave.

“I will. Have a safe flight. I hope you and Kaia bring back a massive victory,” Noelle smiled warmly, sounding completely sincere.
