Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278 Returning

“Hmm.” Noah acknowledged the manager with a slight nod, his tone indifferent.

“Mr. Wall.” The manager hesitated before continuing, “There’s a lady here claiming to be your friend who wants to see you.”

“A lady?” Noah’s brow furrowed slightly. “Who is she?”

“She said her surname is Wade.” The manager watched Noah’s reaction carefully.

Wade?

Kyla immediately came to Noah’s mind.

Why was she here?

Noah glanced at Sadie, catching her uneasy expression.

Kyla had always been a cause of tension between them. Why had she suddenly appeared now?

“Let her come to the top floor,” Noah instructed calmly.

The manager nodded quickly and departed.

Sadie stood, feeling a wave of discomfort, her palms sweaty.

Moments later, the elevator doors on the top floor parted, and Kyla stepped out gracefully.

She was dressed in a striking red gown, her appearance meticulously put together, radiating allure.

“Noah.” Her voice was soft and enticing as she approached.

Noah nodded slightly, maintaining a neutral tone. “Why are you here?”

“I came to see you,” Kyla replied, her gaze shifting to Sadie, scanning her with an almost imperceptible edge of hostility.

Sadie tightened her grip on her bag, trying to appear composed.

“Noah, I know I’ve made many mistakes,” Kyla said, looking at Noah with a pleading expression. “I truly regret them. Can you forgive me?”

Her eyes brimmed with tears, poised to spill.

Sadie’s breathing became labored.

She felt like an outsider, witnessing the scene unfold with a storm of emotions.

“Let bygones be bygones,” Noah responded flatly, showing no emotion.

Kyla seized on his words as if they were a lifeline.

She turned to Sadie with an inquisitive look. “Sadie, you… don’t mind, do you?”

Caught off guard by Kyla’s direct address, Sadie took a deep breath to steady her voice. “I… I…” She clenched her fists, her nails pressing into her palms.

As she struggled to maintain her composure, her voice wavered slightly. “Thank you, Mr. Wall, for your kindness. I won’t impose any longer.”

A flicker of triumph passed through Kyla’s eyes, quickly masked by a feigned look of concern. “Sadie, what’s wrong? Did I say something to upset you? Please don’t misunderstand. I just…”

“There’s no misunderstanding,” Sadie interjected firmly.

She turned to Noah, managing a forced smile. “Mr. Wall, I’ve booked my flight home for tonight. Averi’s educational trip will end soon, and I need to pick him up.”

Noah’s expression tightened, a hint of displeasure crossing his features. “Why rush back tonight? Tomorrow would be just

as fine.”

“But I need to leave now,” Sadie insisted, her voice steady and resolute. “There are many things I need to handle.”

Staying any longer felt unbearable to her, each moment more suffocating than the last.

Kyla’s presence was like a thorn in her side, her very breaths sharpened with discomfort and pain.

Kyla reached out to gently grasp Noah’s arm, her eyes brimming with tears. “Noah, is Sadie still upset with me? I know it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have…”

Noah, however, was focused on Sadie. “I’ll go back with you.”

“No.” Sadie declined sharply. “I can manage on my own.”

She was eager to leave, to distance herself from the weight of the current situation.

“Sadie…” Noah began, but Sadie cut him off. “Mr. Wall, please show some respect.” Her tone was icy.
