Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153 Rumors

The preliminaries concluded, and the backstage was teeming with activity.

Just as Sadie was about to depart, a hesitant voice reached her ears.

“Hello, Sandra! My name is Beccy Quimby.”

Turning, Sadie encountered a young woman with a ponytail, her expression a mix of nervousness and hope.

This young woman had designed the necklace named “Galaxy.”

Beccy held a small box carefully, her cheeks tinged with pink and her eyes brimming with admiration.

“I’ve looked up to you for so long. Your designs have inspired me greatly. It means so much to receive your endorsement

today,” she said.

With a bit of bravery, she offered the box to Sadie. “I baked these pastries myself. I hope you like them.”

Taking the box, Sadie was greeted by the sweet aroma of fresh pastries.

She met Beccy’s earnest gaze, touched by her gesture.

With a warm smile, Sadie responded, “Your design showed great creativity and charm. Continue to dedicate yourself, and

you’ll find remarkable success.”

Tears of joy welled up in Beccy’s eyes. She took a deep breath and asked, “Could I possibly study under you?”

Sadie paused, touched by Beccy’s earnestness but wary. “I’m sorry, I don’t take students.”

Beccy, a bit taken aback, quickly recovered. “I’ll keep striving!”

Suddenly, photographers swarmed, their cameras flashing, capturing the exchange.

Once the media had moved on, Sadie declined the staff’s invitation to linger and exited the bustling venue by herself.

As she stepped outside, a cool evening breeze hinted at the coming autumn, prompting her to wrap her coat more snugly

around herself.

Having not seen Alex for several days, she contemplated calling him but then hesitated, wondering if he might be too busy,

and ultimately decided not to.

Fatigue crept up on her as she massaged her temples.

Pulling out her phone, she glanced at the time. It was already time to fetch Averi from school.

At the entrance of the kindergarten, the air buzzed with the lively chatter of children.

Upon seeing Sadie, Averi dashed towards her with glee, leaping into her embrace. “Mom!”

Sadie crouched down, picked Averi up, and kissed his cheek gently. “How was your day at kindergarten?”

Averi swelled with pride and responded, “Fantastic! My teacher told me my drawing has improved!” 0.0%

Sadie’s face lit up with a tender smile.

Together, they strolled back to their home, hand in hand.

After they finished eating, Sadie spent some time playing games with Averi before she read him a bedtime story.

Listening to Sadie’s calming voice, Averi slowly drifted off to sleep.

She gently tucked him in and left a kiss on his forehead.

After turning off the light, she quietly left the room.

The night had deepened, and silence blanketed the world beyond the window.

The sharp ring of the phone abruptly woke Sadie the following morning.

Her phone on the nightstand showed “Tina” on the display.

She wiped her sleepy eyes and picked up.

“Sadie, are you aware of the latest headlines?”

“What headlines?”

“About you and Beccy! Photos of you receiving her gift have surfaced, sparking rumors online that you favored her unfairly!”

Alertness replaced Sadie’s sleepiness in an instant.

A gift from Beccy? Accusations of favoritism?

She leapt out of bed, her feet hitting the cold floor, and strode to the window to yank back the curtains.
