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

Chapter 440

Chapter 440:

“Isn’t Kyla Noah’s beloved? Why didn’t he show up himself?” “Could it all be just a rumor?”

Those whispers stung Kyla’s ears sharply, her cheeks flushing with humiliation. She inhaled deeply, stifling her frustration, and faced Samuel, her voice steady. “Where is Noah? Why isn’t he here?”

Samuel’s expression carried a trace of regret as he answered, “Mr. Wall has an urgent matter to attend to.”

“What’s the urgent matter?” Kyla practically spat the words through gritted teeth.

She had poured her heart into meticulously planning her birthday banquet, eagerly anticipating Noah’s arrival. However, instead of the joyous encounter she had envisioned with Noah, she faced a crushing disappointment. How could she endure this humiliation?

Samuel bowed slightly, his voice tinged with regret. “I’m sorry, Miss. I don’t know the details.” His words felt like a slap.

Around them, guests began whispering, their gazes filled with open mockery.
