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

Chapter 22

Chapter 22:

At the mention of “your husband,” Sadie felt a sharp sting of bitterness surge through her. She managed a strained smile, masking the turmoil that the phrase evoked within her.

Jim had just finished tending to Sadie’s injury when he sought out Noah to discuss some necessary precautions. As he relayed the information, his gaze occasionally drifted toward Sadie, whose distant expression tugged at his curiosity.

Something about the evening’s atmosphere felt unsettlingly amiss.

Jim leaned closer to Noah under the guise of confidentiality, his voice dropping to a whisper. “Did you and your wife have a fight? She seems a bit… distant tonight.”

Noah paused, a shadow crossing his features. After a moment, he responded in a hushed tone, barely audible, “I’m planning to divorce her.”

Shock flickered across Jim’s face as he stared at Noah, his eyes wide with disbelief.

The silence stretched between them, heavy and uncomfortable. Observing Noah’s stern countenance, devoid of any humor, Jim let out a heavy sigh, tinged with regret.
