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

Chapter 140

Chapter 140:

Picking up her packed belongings, Sadie left the office for the last time. Behind her, Vivi watched, her face flushed with frustration, yet she was powerless in the face of Sadie’s dignified exit.

The next day, Sadie double-checked her suitcase, zipping it up, ready for her next chapter. Averi sat on the sofa, clutching his teddy bear, his eyes wide with curiosity.

Sadie ruffled his hair gently. “Averi, are you ready? We’re about to leave.”

“I’m ready, Mommy!” Averi said, jumping off the sofa, his teddy bear bouncing along. They walked to the door, which rang just then.

Sadie opened it to find Alex. “Alex? What are you doing here? Weren’t you supposed to be back in the country?”

Stepping in, Alex took Sadie’s suitcase. “I came to pick you up,” he said. He ruffled Averi’s hair. “Hey Averi, have you missed me?”

Averi hid shyly behind Sadie, peeking out to murmur, “Hello, Alex.” Moved by Alex’s gesture, Sadie felt a warm glow.

They headed to the black car parked outside. Alex loaded the luggage and held the door open for them.
