Chapter 411 I Agreed Without Giving It Much…
Before long, both Vivi and Kyla started to feel the effects of the wine, becoming lightheaded.
Anson and Moses shared a look that communicated their intentions.
Anson stood up first, lifting Vivi with ease. “She’s had too much to drink. I’ll take her upstairs to rest.”
Moses nodded quickly, his anticipation barely hidden. “Of course, Anson. Please, take your time.”
As Anson carried Vivi away, Moses focused on Kyla, who was slumped over the table, her posture more revealing than
intended.
Overcome with desire, Moses reached under her clothes.
“Noah…” Kyla murmured, her response almost encouraging as she leaned into his touch.
Moses took this as his cue, wrapping an arm around her waist. “Let’s go upstairs, darling,” he whispered.
Meanwhile, outside the villa, Samuel had been watching. He confirmed that Kyla had entered but not left.
After deliberating, he returned to Myrtlewood Estate.
Upon entering, he found his boss alone, exuding a cold, distant aura.
Glancing upstairs at the closed master bedroom door, Samuel inferred the situation.
It seemed Mr. Wall was once again disregarded by his wife.
Approaching cautiously, Samuel reported, “Mr. Wall, Miss Wade is at the Quinn family’s villa.”
“The Quinn family?”
Noah’s response was sharp as he set down his wine glass, his expression sardonic.
“Then the Quinn family has to leave the city, too.”
Accustomed to his boss’s harsh directives, Samuel was about to exit when Noah spoke again.
“Wait.”
Samuel stopped, attentive.
“Order dinner from Nirvana,” Noah said, his tone even and emotionless.
Samuel paused, surprised.
Nirvana? Wasn’t that the restaurant Mrs. Wall had adored three years ago?
Since her departure, Mr. Wall had avoided it entirely.

Though curious, Samuel knew better than to question.
“Yes, Mr. Wall.” He left to arrange the order.
Back in the dining room, Noah lifted his wine glass, emptying it in one swift motion.
His gaze swept over the deserted table, his thoughts hidden in the shadows.
The table was quickly filled with an array of steaming dishes..
Samuel and Breck stood silently off to the side, neither daring to speak.
They shared a brief glance, both sensing a shift in the evening’s atmosphere.
Noah then turned to Breck.
Under Noah’s intense gaze, Breck hesitantly made his way upstairs to fetch Sadie.
Sadie was in the study, immersed in the documents Amy had provided:
Since her return from Sawnard Estate, she had had a bad feeling–something bad was about to happen.
The sound of a knock on the door interrupted her focus.
Breck entered.
“Mrs. Wall, dinner is served. Mr. Wall requests your presence.”
Noting the time–well past four in the afternoon–and feeling a bit hungry, Sadie closed her folder, stood, and followed
Breck downstairs.
Upon seeing Noah at the dining table and dishes from Nirvana, Sadie halted abruptly.
Three years ago, after every disagreement, Noah would order from Nirvana as a peace offering.
Sharing a meal signified a chance to reconcile.
The sight triggered a flood of emotions.
She stood frozen, unsure of how to proceed.
Just then, Averi returned from school.
“Wow, so much delicious food!” Averi exclaimed, pulling on Sadie’s hand, which somewhat eased the tension.
“Mommy, let’s eat!”
Averi’s simple enthusiasm thawed the chill in the air.
With a resigned smile, Sadie sat down at Averi’s insistent tug.
Averi eagerly grabbed his knife and fork, sampling the food.
“Mmm! It’s delicious! Mommy, you have to try it too!”
Motivated by Averi’s expectant eyes, Sadie picked up her knife and fork.
The flavors were a vivid reminder of times past, evoking deep–seated memories. Her eyes moistened with tears she
struggled to hold back.

Meanwhile, Noah ate quietly, his gaze fixed on her.
Averi, after a few bites, jumped up and ran to Noah, clinging to his arm.
“Mr. Wall, do a puzzle with me!”
Noah’s expression softened as he looked down at Averi.
“Okay.”
Soon after, Averi returned with his puzzle, and Noah stood to join him.
Sadie watched them from the table, her emotions swirling.
As Noah spent time assembling the puzzle with Averi, he glanced up and noticed Sadie sitting alone, her head bowed, her shoulders quivering slightly as if she were crying.
A tightness formed in his chest. He walked over and stood beside her.
“Sadie…”
She looked up, her eyes rimmed red, as she fought back tears.
Seeing her so upset, Noah was struck by a wave of remorse.
“Sadie, about the competition…”
Sadie hadn’t expected him to bring the competition up.
“I wasn’t fully aware of the details,” Noah said quietly. “When Kyla brought it up, I agreed without giving it much thought.”
He paused, searching for the right words.
“If I had known you were competing, too, I never would have consented.”
