Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret

Chapter 1032:

Sadie’s retort died on her lips, leaving her momentarily speechless. Jack was indeed still with Samuel, a fact she couldn’t deny.

The detail had completely slipped from her mind like water through fingers.

When had Noah developed such razor-sharp articulation? It caught her off guard.

Try as she might, not a single valid objection materialized in her racing thoughts.

In the end, Sadie surrendered to the inevitable and acquiesced to his unwanted company.

She pressed her lips together in resignation, averting her gaze, and strode purposefully toward the bathroom.

As he watched her retreat with stiff shoulders betraying her annoyance, Noah’s lips curled into a smile of pure triumph.

Rosehill Apartments? The name echoed with intrigue.

Curiosity ignited within him about what tantalizing secrets she guarded behind those apartment walls.

Outside the door of a unit at Rosehill Apartments, Samuel was already posted, his tall frame emanating respectful vigilance. Sadie approached first, wasting no time with pleasantries.

“What’s the situation inside?” she demanded.

Samuel’s gaze instinctively darted to Noah standing beside Sadie, unmistakable surprise flashing across his normally composed face. Sadie had brought Patrick along? The unexpected development surprised him.

Samuel floundered, uncertainty washing over him. His forehead creased with a slight frown, words catching in his throat as he hesitated.noveldrama

Sadie cast a sidelong glance at Noah, who observed the unfolding scene with leisurely interest, as if enjoying a particularly entertaining show.

The reason for Samuel’s hesitation crystallized clearly in her mind. She shifted her attention back to Samuel, her voice dropping to a calm, detached register.

“Just say it. It’s alright.”

Taking a steadying breath, Samuel cast aside his hesitation. He extracted a thin file from his briefcase and presented it with both hands in a gesture of respect.

“Ms. Hudson, this compiles all the information I’ve gathered on Sharon Buckley thus far.”

Sadie reached out and grasped the file, letting it rest between her slender fingers without immediately opening it. She simply lifted her penetrating gaze back to Samuel’s face.

“Take Mr. Noel to retrieve Jack, then escort them both away from the premises.”

Her tone remained clinically detached, the words flowing as casually as if she were ordering morning coffee.

Having delivered her instructions, she deliberately ignored Noah’s presence beside her and pivoted to press the doorbell.
