Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 512

Chapter 512 His Wife

Hailey abruptly stood and rushed upstairs without a glance at either Noah or Sadie, her departure marked by the loud slam of a door.

Standing to the side, Nicolas Patel, the butler, hesitated briefly before shooting Noah a look of unease.

Noah, however, seemed entirely unfazed by the disruption.

His expression unchanged, he calmly dabbed the corner of his mouth with a napkin and issued a composed command.

“Let her be. Ask the kitchen to warm the food later and take it up to her.”

Nicolas nodded briefly. “Yes, sir.”

After a moment, he turned to Sadie and mentioned, “The staff in the kitchen is well acquainted with Ms. Burgess’s preferences.”

Sadie’s grip on her utensils faltered briefly.

Wasn’t Hailey Noah’s wife? Why did the butler treat her like a guest rather than the lady of the house?

Doubt shadowed her thoughts.

She raised her eyes to the man across from her, searching for any sign in his demeanor.

But Noah’s face was as unreadable as ever, betraying no hint of irregularity.

Suppressing her confusion, Sadie remained silent.

Perhaps she was reading too much into it.

Their personal matters were, after all, not her business.

Noah then picked up the serving utensils and carefully placed a piece of succulent pot roast on her plate.

“Try this,” he suggested in an even tone. “It’s from Nirvana, the signature dish. The flavor is exceptional.”

Sadie’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Nirvana? That was her favorite restaurant, and pot roast was her constant choice there.

Setting down her utensils, she looked directly at him, her voice steady.

“Mr. Noel, do you also enjoy Nirvana’s cuisine?”

A slight smile touched Noah’s lips- a faint, almost imperceptible curve that carried a hint of warmth.

He met her gaze, his voice soft and deliberate.

“My wife likes it.”

His wife? The title hit Sadie like a thunderclap. Was he referring to her or Hailey? Was it possible that he still remembered

she, his wife, enjoyed Nirvana’s cuisine?

Overwhelmed by a surge of shock and confusion,‘ she found herself unable to think clearly.

She stood up abruptly, the motion tipping over her chair. Without sparing it a glance, she snatched her bag in a rush.

“I–I’ve just remembered something urgent.”

Her voice trembled. She avoided Noah’s gaze.

“I won’t impose any longer. Thank you for the meal.”

With that, she turned and hurried out of the dining room.

Noah’s eyebrows knitted together slightly.

Her reaction was… odd.

His eyes fell to the plate of pot roast on the table, his thoughts wandering.

He lifted a piece to his mouth.

The meat was tender and flavorful–rich but not overly fatty. It truly was a superb dish.

He clearly remembered his wife had once confessed her love for this dish from Nirvana.

That was precisely why he had requested it be prepared today.

Was Sadie’s abrupt departure because she disliked the dish?

Then it struck him.

That was Sadie. His wife… was Hailey. Wasn’t it?

Noah’s expression grew pensive, his features tightening.

Meanwhile, Sadie had dashed from the villa.

She jumped into her car, slammed on the accelerator, and drove rapidly away from the estate.

As the landscape whipped by, her mind remained a whirlwind of emotion.

What had transpired in the past three years? Why had Noah lost his memory? Why did he confuse Hailey for the woman he once loved? Why did some memories linger while her face remained unrecognized?

She was desperate for answers,

As she pondered, her phone, lying on the passenger seat, began to ring.

It was Samuel on the line.

Taking a deep breath to quell the rising tide of emotions, she pressed the answer button.

“Ms. Hudson.” Came Samuel’s voice, always steady and professional.

“Starlight Entertainment has dispatched representatives to the hospital to meet with Briley. They’ve arrived with a professional management team and legal advisors. Their approach appears quite sincere.”

Sadie listened without emotion. This was precisely what she had expected.

Briley had engineered this drama to garner both fame and fortune.

The entertainment industry, a realm fueled by ambition and vanity, was a perfect fit for her.

“Excellent,” she responded evenly. “Let them handle the remainder. We shouldn’t intervene further.”

Briley had chosen her path.

“Yes, Ms. Hudson.”

Ending the call, Sadie tossed her phone back onto the passenger seat.

The afternoon sun blazed through the car window.

She squinted slightly, focusing on the road ahead.

Regardless of past events, she was resolute in uncovering the truth.

She would reclaim what was rightfully hers.

And those who had wronged her would not escape her wrath.

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Briley lay bewildered on the bed, eyeing the unexpected throng in her room.

A middle–aged man, impeccably dressed and radiating competence, stood at the forefront.

Reporters, cameras and microphones in hand, hovered behind him.

What was happening?

The man introduced himself as Leonard Juarez, from Starlight Entertainment, and greeted her with a bright, enthusiastic

smile.

“Miss Wall, I’ve heard so much about you!”
