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

Chapter 460:

Noah spared Vivi not a second glance. He drove through the gates of the residential complex, his focus unshaken, his mind set. The car eased to a stop outside the building where Sadie lived, but he made no move to step out.

Instead, he sat in silence, his gaze locked onto the illuminated window of her apartment. The glow from inside spilled faintly onto the night, steady and warm. Yet, no shadows flickered; no sign of movement stirred behind the curtains.

A quiet unease crept into his chest. “What is she doing?”

For a long moment, he hesitated, but the gnawing sense of something unspoken finally pushed him into action. He stepped out of the car, the night air cool against his skin, and made his way to the elevator.

Pressing the doorbell, he waited. The chime cut through the hush of the late hour, the only sound in the stillness. Seconds stretched, heavy and slow. Then, at last, the door cracked open. But it wasn’t Sadie. Carol stood in the doorway, blinking up at him, her surprise unmistakable.

“Mr… Mr. Wall?” Her voice wavered slightly. She was caught between confusion and curiosity. “What brings you here?”

Noah’s eyes barely lingered on her. Instead, they flickered past her shoulder, scanning the apartment. His voice was low, firm. “Where’s Sadie?”
