Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138 She Was Determined Not To Depe…

Sadie rubbed her temples after giving her assistant instructions, trying to soothe the persistent ache.

The fatigue from the recent days overwhelmed her, urging her just to go home and collapse.

She picked up her bag and left the studio.

“Sadie, let me drive you,” a familiar voice offered from beside her.

Looking up, she saw Alex by his car, parked at the curb, watching her intently.

“That’s kind of you, but I’ll take a cab.” She declined politely, not wanting to be a burden.

“It’s late, and it’s not safe to be out alone. Please, get in,” Alex insisted.

After hesitating, Sadie nodded, opened the passenger door, and climbed in.

“You don’t have to chauffeur me anymore, Alex. It’s too much trouble for you,” she murmured, buckling up.

As Alex started the car, his face showed concern and something else he kept hidden. “You’re going to work at Wall Group?”

“Yes, it’s a joint project. I couldn’t say no,” Sadie responded, her voice filled with reluctance.

“Sadie…” Alex started, then stopped, his hands tightening on the steering wheel. He knew too well the hurt Noah had

caused her.

The prospect of her facing that old torment bothered him.

“I know what you’re worried about, Alex,” Sadie said, turning to face him firmly. “But I need to do this for the studio. I’ll be

back once it’s done.”

Alex exhaled slowly. “I still don’t feel comfortable with you being around Noah.”

Sadie let out a bitter laugh. “Alex, Noah and I are over. He’s just a business partner now. Besides…”

She paused, her tone tinged with irony. “His heart is with Kyla. He doesn’t care about me.”

Alex clenched the steering wheel tighter, a twinge of pain crossing his face.

“Sadie!” He tried again, but the words stuck.

Sadie turned to the window. “Thank you, Alex. I really value this.”

Silence fell heavily in the car, punctuated only by the engine’s soft rumble.

As they reached Laura’s apartment complex, the car stopped smoothly.

As soon as Sadie emerged, a small figure raced toward her, wrapping himself in her embrace. “Mommy!”

It was Averi.

His face buried against her, he murmured, “Mommy, you’re home.”

Sadie’s heart warmed instantly.

She knelt, lifted Averi into her arms, and kissed his cheek. “Have you been good, Averi?”

“I have!” he replied, beaming, his arms tight around Sadie’s neck, his eyes shining with delight.
