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

Chapter 51

Chapter 51:

Observing her ashen face and the defiant look in her eyes, Noah felt a surge of frustration. He firmly grasped her shoulders, his voice stern and urgent. “Sadie, stop this nonsense! If you felt unwell, why did you even meet with Roy?”

Pinned by his firm hold, Sadie ceased her struggles.

A sarcastic laugh escaped her, filled with self-derision. “What does it matter at this point? Wasn’t my bonus already cut? Today was just a futile effort on my part. So tell me, are you pleased now?”

Noah noticed the bitterness in Sadie’s gaze, and without thinking, his hold grew firmer, his tone colder. “Is your rush to accumulate wealth tied to your eagerness for a divorce?”

The pain in Sadie’s heart intensified as she looked into the eyes of the man she once adored, now confronting her so harshly. It felt as if needles were piercing through her heart, causing a deep, persistent ache.

Could it be that his frustration stemmed from a reluctance to end their marriage? Unlikely, considering Kyla was anxiously awaiting her turn to be his wife. How could Noah stand to disappoint the woman he loved?

As these thoughts raced through her mind, any faint hope Sadie clung to crumbled to nothing.
