Chapter 424 Having Her Sent Away
The two bodyguards were tall and had broad shoulders, but judging from the veins bulging on their arms, it was clear they
were exerting considerable strength just to detain Kyla.
Even so, she continued to struggle, twisting and flailing while shouting obscenities. Her behavior was a far cry from her
usual gentle and delicate Image.
Nosh paid no attention to her cries. He simply turned and walked away.
“No, don’t! Noah, you can’t do this to me!” Kyla wailed in utter despair, her voice hoarse yet piercing at the same time.
But Noah never spared her a backward glance, and soon enough, he was out of sight. Deflated, Kyla was ultimately dragged
away by the bodyguards.
Moments later, Noah entered his house and was greeted by a frantic–looking Breck.
“Sir, you’re finally back!”
“What happened?” Noah asked, feeling an inexplicable wave of dread washing over him.
Breck hesitated and fiddled with his fingers before saying, “Mrs. Wall has locked herself in her room. She hasn’t eaten or
drunk anything ever since she was brought back, and she refuses to answer the door.”
Noah frowned in concern.
“Mr. Wall, what happened to Mom?” A soft, innocent voice suddenly rang out.
Standing at the top of the stairs, Averi was clutching a dinosaur doll, his eyes wide with innocence.
Noah’s heart immediately softened. He walked over with a sigh and knelt in front of the little boy. “Don’t worry, Averi. Mom
is just a little tired and wants to rest. How about we do puzzles later?”
“Okay!” Averi lit up in an instant. He ran off, still hugging his precious toy.
Noah’s expression turned somber as he straightened and turned to Breck. “Tell the kitchen staff to prepare some of Sadie’s
favorite dishes–light ones. Send them up as soon as they’re ready. Also, let her know that Mrs. Stewart’s funeral is
scheduled for the day after tomorrow.”
Breck nodded and went to carry out his instructions.
Left alone, Noah could only stare at the closed door of the master bedroom. Frustration came over him.
Meanwhile, inside the room in question, the atmosphere was dark and oppressive.
Sadie was curled up on the bed, a photo pressed tightly against her chest.
It was a photo of her and her grandmother, back when Laura was still healthy.

<Chapter 424 Having Her Sent Away
Sadie bit her lower lip to keep from sobbing, but her body trembled uncontrollably instead.
She was overcome with regret. Why had she let herself be out of her mind and married Noah? If she hadn’t met him, if not for this absurd marriage, would her grandmother still be around?
Just then, a knock came at the door, interrupting her thoughts.
“Mrs. Wall, Mr. Wall asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite glazed chicken and pot roast, along with some warm milk.
Please eat some, if only a little.” Breck’s voice was gentle and coaxing. “Mr. Wall also mentioned that Mrs. Stewart’s funeral
is set for the day after tomorrow.”
A minute passed in silence, then two. Breck was about to return downstairs when the door suddenly opened.
Sadie stood in the doorway, her eyes red and swollen. “Is Noah back?” she rasped.
“Yes, madam,” Breck replied, visibly startled by her appearance. “Mr. Wall is currently with Averi.”
Sadie barely heard what he said after that. Turning on her heel, she stormed down the hallway toward Averi’s room.
She needed to see Noah–she had to see him!
Bang!
Sadie threw the door to Averi’s room open.
Noah and Averi were seated on the carpet, playing with building blocks. Averi was giggling as he clumsily stacked a column of blocks under Noah’s patient guidance.
Sadie’s steps faltered at the sight.
