Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 584

Chapter 584 Finally, A Clue

The sky had just begun to lighten the next morning when- Knock, knock, knock! A sharp rapping came at the door.

Sadie blinked awake, her brows drawn together in annoyance. She groaned as she pulled herself out of bed.

Who on earth was making such a racket this early?

She grabbed the knit cardigan from the foot of her bed, throwing it over her shoulders before striding angrily to the door.

She flung it open to find Nathan standing on the other side.

There were dark circles under his eyes, and his hair was disheveled. It looked like he hadn’t slept a wink all night.

Sadie felt a surge of ice–hot anger. Was this guy trying to get himself killed?

“Don’t waste my time and say what you came to say.”

Nathan clearly wasn’t expecting such hostility. He recoiled on instinct, but his sense of urgency had him pushing past any

hesitation.

Nathan had received word that Jarrett had come to see Sadie last night, and he had been on edge since.

Sleep had evaded him, so the moment dawn broke, he rushed over to talk to her.

“Ms. Hudson–Sadie!” Nathan’s voice was laced with desperation. “I heard that my brother came to see you last night. What

happened? What did he say?”

Sadie was slightly mollified by the look of panic on his face. She stepped aside and gestured for him to come in. “It’s just as

you heard.”

Jarrett had indeed shown up, and he had tried his damnedest to win her over.

Sadie opened her mouth to explain the matter further, but then she looked up and was met by a pitiful display.

Nathan’s eyes were wide as saucers, his shoulders hunched, his lips pursed. He did an excellent impression of a puppy that

was scared of getting left behind.

Sadie’s words got stuck in her throat.

What the hell was going on with this guy? Wasn’t he acting all high–and–mighty at the Higgins family meeting just

yesterday?

Nathan grew even more uneasy at her silence. He maintained his expression, even when he watched her closely for any

reaction.

“Sadie, you’re not… You’re not thinking of changing your mind, are you? Do you also think my brother is better than me? Are you planning to switch over to his side?”

That finally did it.

Sadie was irked enough at having been woken up so unceremoniously; learning that she had been roused just to listen to

such nonsense sent her anger soaring to new heights.

This idiot!

She raised her hand and smacked Nathan at the back of the head. “What do you even spend your days thinking about?”

Nathan winced. He heard a ringing in his ears, and his eyes immediately welled up with tears. Still, he managed to stop

them from falling altogether.

Then, before Sadie could retract her invitation, he darted past her and into the room.

At that point, the last remnants of sleep were totally gone. Letting out a long sigh, Sadie shut the door and followed Nathan

into the living room.

Nathan stood there, nervously shifting his weight from one foot to another, looking every bit like a schoolboy awaiting an

inevitable scolding.

Sadie plopped down on the sofa across from him and massaged her aching temples. “Relax. Jarrett’s not going to stir up

any trouble.”

She crossed her arms over her chest and looked Nathan in the eye. “Everything is settled now. I’ve done my part. You

promised to give me information about my parents. What have you got?”

Nathan immediately dropped his sorry act.

His back went straight as he reached into his pocket and took out a folded slip of paper. He handed it to Sadie with both

hands. “I’m keeping my end of the bargain. Here you go.”

Sadie unfolded the note. A single string of numbers was written on it–a phone number.

“What is this?”

Nathan answered readily. “It’s the contact number of a maid who used to work for your parents. She disappeared with them

all those years ago. It took a lot of digging, but I finally found this lead. You can contact her and see if you might be able to

uncover what really happened in the past.”

Sadie’s fingers tightened around that small piece of paper, her heart racing.

Nathan noted her serious expression and ventured, “About our so–called engagement, by the way…” He scratched his nose

and offered a sheepish smile. “I’ll make a public announcement to cancel it in a month or so. We can say we weren’t

compatible, or maybe come up with a better reason. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure your reputation isn’t tarnished in any way.”
