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

Chapter 1027:

Sadie’s brow furrowed as she quickly issued her command into the phone, eyes locked on Noah’s impassive face. “Contain him securely. Prevent any escape attempt, but ensure he remains unharmed.”

Once she ended the call, Sadie lifted her head and locked eyes with Noah, who had just stepped into the room. Her stare was sharp enough to freeze him mid-step.

A cold smirk played on her lips, untouched by warmth.

“So tell me, Mr. Noel,” she said, her voice low and edged with frost, “what exactly are you trying to achieve by having someone trail my people?”

Noah, holding a lunchbox in both hands, looked genuinely concerned. He placed the lunchbox down on the table beside her bed and gently lifted the lid. The rich scent of freshly made soup spread through the room.

“Sadie, are you sure you haven’t misunderstood something?” he asked, his expression filled with wide-eyed innocence. “I don’t recall doing anything like that.”

Without a word, Sadie placed her phone on the table and fixed him with a steely gaze. She didn’t have the patience for evasions.

“Jack has already been detained by my people,” she said, her tone as dry as sand. “So Mr. Noel, let’s stop pretending.”noveldrama

Noah’s hand paused above the lunchbox. His boyish facade cracked for a moment, replaced by something sharper—a hint of amusement flickered in his eyes.

“Your people don’t waste time,” he said, nodding slowly. “I’ll admit, you caught me off guard.”

He pulled the lid off completely, letting the soup’s fragrance swirl freely through the air.

“Still, Jack disappointed me, getting caught so easily,” he added, letting out a light laugh. “Maybe I should gift-wrap him and send him over? If you’re running short on staff, you can have him.”

Sadie’s frown deepened. She had no interest in his games and even less patience for his attitude.

“Cut it out,” she said sharply. Her voice dropped, gaining an edge. “I don’t care what game you’re playing. But if your people keep sniffing around where they don’t belong…” She paused, her eyes locking onto his with an icy glare. “Don’t expect me to stay quiet.”

Noah blinked, just once. For a fleeting second, her words cut deeper than expected. Was she seriously ready to turn against him for whoever was holed up in that apartment?

No trace of emotion cracked through his calm. His smile stayed fixed, as if her words hadn’t even touched him.

Instead of answering, he stayed focused, scooping a spoonful of soup and gently blowing on it before holding it out toward her.

The gesture caught Sadie completely off guard. This was a moment for hard truths, not gentle kindness. She was laying down a warning, and here he was… feeding her?
