Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 523

Chapter 523 Already Pregnant

The next evening, Sadie entered the Dinner Bell.

The place had a general elegance to it, with soft piano music playing in the background.

She sat by the window, holding a tablet that displayed a data chart on Wall Group’s recent operations.

Her mind, however, was elsewhere.

Every so often, her gaze would flit over to the restaurant’s entrance, and her fingers would tap against the surface of her

tablet in anticipation.

After what felt like forever, she finally saw a tall man in a dark suit step into the establishment. He had a refined

demeanor that was quite hard to miss.

The man was none other than Evan Gill, the doctor Samuel had mentioned.

Evan scanned the floor, clearly searching for someone, his expression urgent. When he didn’t find who he was looking for, he headed straight to a private room located further back in the restaurant.

Sadie quickly averted her gaze.

Once Evan had disappeared through the door, she rose from her seat, adjusted her clothes, and discreetly walked toward

the same private room.

Instead of knocking on the door, she took a seat just a couple of tables away.

From there, she could hear the conversation from the people inside the private room.

It seemed that the room hadn’t been soundproofed properly, thank God.

Sadie held her breath and focused all her attention to eavesdropping.

Indeed, she was able to make out the voices on the other side.

Apart from Evan, Sadie also heard a woman, her voice sweet and coquettish.

She froze.

She recognized that voice, it belonged to Hailey!

What was she doing here? Was Hailey the one Evan came here to meet? What kind of business would the two discuss

inside?

Sadie’s hands balled into fists, and a muscle ticked at her jaw.

She took a deep breath to maintain her composure, exhaled it slowly and continued to listen in to the conversation inside.

Chapter 523 Already Pregnant

At that same moment, inside the private room, Hailey was wearing a sickeningly sweet smile. “It’s been years since we last met, and you’re even more charming than I remembered, Evan!”

Evan’s smile was a little tight. “Is there something you need, Hailey? Why did you reach out to me all of a sudden?”

His tone was courteous, but suggested that they were far from being close.

Hailey’s eyes practically twinkled as her smile widened. “Have a seat first, why don’t you? Let’s catch up and chat over a

meal.”

Evan nodded graciously and sat down.

As he settled into his seat, he remembered something. “By the way, I heard you got married recently I have yet to meet

your husband, but I’ve heard that he’s quite a catch. People say you two are perfect for each other.”

His comment seemed to touch a nerve with Hailey. Her smile dimmed, and she let out a weary, almost sorrowful sigh.

“He’s very good to me, but…” Hailey trailed off and batted her eyelashes as though she was deeply aggrieved. “The thing is,

Patrick only fell in love with me because he lost his memory in an accident three years ago. I’m just… I’m really scared that

one day he would regain his memory and leave me.”

By the time she finished speaking, the corners of her eyes had turned red, making her look pitiful as ever.

Evan’s brow furrowed slightly. Just like he had said, he had never met Patrick before, but he had heard a lot about him, and

from what he had surmised, the man didn’t seem to be the type to discard his relationships willy–nilly.

“You shouldn’t worry about such things, Hailey. I don’t think he would do that to you.”

Hailey wiped nonexistent tears from her cheeks.

“I trust him, of course, but there’s this wretched woman who’s constantly meddling with our marriage! She just keeps

inserting herself into his business, pulling every trick in the book to get his attention! I can’t help but worry!”

Then she suddenly leaned over the table, her eyes wide with expectation as she fixed them on Evan. “Aren’t you doing a

research on deep hypnosis these days? I heard that it can make someone forget their past completely and live like a totally

new person. Is that true?”

She had barely got the last word out when Evan raised his hand. “Hailey!” he said, his tone sharp and reprimanding, his

expression dark. “The purpose of my research is to help in the recovery of those who are in a vegetative state. My goal is to

help them rebuild their cognitive functions, not to serve one person’s selfish desires to alter or erase another’s memories!”

Evan’s disappointment was written all over his face. “You weren’t like this before.”

The Hailey he used to know was kind and passionate about medicine, a far cry from the woman in front of him.

Hailey flinched, clearly panicked by his reaction. “You’re misunderstanding, I… I just love Patrick so much and I… I told you,

I am terrified of losing him!”

In a move that shocked Evan, Hailey lunged forward and reached for the collar of his shirt. “Evan, I’m already pregnant!”
