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

Chapter 1040:

Sadie’s brow tightened, the shift in plan throwing her off.

Not yet? Then when?

What was he really getting at?

“What are you trying to say?” she asked, her voice cautious.

Several hours must have slipped by unnoticed. The sky had turned pitch black.

Near the entrance of Evergreen Cemetery, a sleek black Maybach eased to a stop by the curb, its engine humming quietly.

A soft click broke the silence as the door swung open and Sadie stepped out, the sharp tap of her heels breaking against the pavement. Rather than somber or understated, her look leaned towards high society—an elegant black cocktail dress hugged her frame, her hair perfectly styled, and a string of pearls rested delicately around her neck.

The ensemble could have turned heads at a gala, not at a place where the dead lay still.

Without a word, she reached out and looped her arm through Noah’s with a stiffness that suggested she still wasn’t sold on the plan. Dressed in a tailored black suit, Noah stood beside her, composed and formal, every bit the gentleman escort.

Together, they looked more like they were arriving at an exclusive after-party than visiting a gravesite.

Sadie tilted her head slightly and glanced up at him, her tone laced with irritation. “This is your big idea? Showing up dressed like this in the middle of the night? Who does that at a cemetery?”noveldrama

There had to be a better way. Anything would have drawn less attention than this ridiculous display.

Leaning in slightly, Noah lowered his voice, calm and deliberate. “Keep your voice down. Just trust me and go along with it.”

Sadie held back a groan, her patience fraying. Whatever game he was playing, it had better be worth it.

From the gatehouse, a figure stirred. The cemetery attendant, drawn by the sound of voices, stepped out into the dim light.

His eyes narrowed as he caught sight of them.

There was no mistaking the elegance. The man was striking, the woman even more so. Their polished appearance hinted at wealth or influence—or both.

But something didn’t add up. What kind of couple turned up at a cemetery at this hour looking like that?

Despite his curiosity, the attendant kept his tone courteous as he approached. “Is there something I can help you with?”

Noah dropped Sadie’s arm and slipped into a more somber expression, his voice taking on a note of grief. “Yes. A family elder passed suddenly a few days ago. My wife and I wanted to look for a proper resting place for him… somewhere peaceful.”

Sadie’s mouth twitched ever so slightly, her self-control barely holding back a scoff at his clumsy performance.
