Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret

Chapter 828:

Sadie felt like the entire universe was mocking her.

She scoffed and glared at him.

“You’ve already made your choice, so why are you still bothering with me? Your beloved wife is eagerly waiting for you to join her in her hospital room.”

Noah gritted his teeth, and his free hand clenched into a fist so tight, the veins on the back of his hand bulged.

He could practically see the walls Sadie had put up around her, but strangely enough, he was the one who felt suffocated.

It finally hit him then—Sadie must have met Hailey.noveldrama

“Sadie, listen to me. I will deal with Hailey and her baby. You—”

His tone was serious and earnest, but Sadie didn’t give him a chance to finish.

She forcefully shook off his hand and took several steps away from him.

“There’s no need to get me involved in any of this.”

Her voice was weak. Weary.

“I have other things to attend to. I’m leaving.”

With that, she turned on her heel and left without a single backward glance.

No matter what had happened in the past, no matter how much Noah explained, the fact remained that Hailey was pregnant.

To Sadie, that alone was enough for her to come to a decision.

Noah’s hand instinctively shot out to reach for Sadie when she turned away, but all he managed to grasp was the cold, empty air.

He remained rooted to the spot as an overwhelming and unprecedented wave of panic washed over him.

Just then, his phone vibrated.

It was Jack.

Noah exhaled slowly, burying the chaos churning beneath his calm exterior.

Then he picked up the phone.

“Speak.”

“Mr. Noel. Everything’s in place. The visit to the prison is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.”

Jack’s voice came through the line, respectful and measured.

Noah’s gaze darkened, his jaw tightening ever so slightly.

“Understood.”

There was a beat of silence. Then his voice dropped, colder.

“One more thing. I want Hailey watched. Around the clock. Every move she makes—report it to me. Immediately.”
