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

Chapter 896:

“So, will you stay?”

Sadie’s expression darkened. It was the same maneuver he always used. Yet, confronted with his visibly frail state, she found it impossible to leave.

Observing silently until now, Nathan seized the opportunity to interject. He sprang to his feet, wearing a smile.

“Ms. Hudson, now that you’re here, why not stick around? There are some things about my company I want to discuss with you. And honestly, it’d be a waste to let all that food we ordered go uneaten!”

The last thing he wanted was to end up alone with Patrick again—the weight of it all was more than he could handle.

With resignation, Sadie nodded. “Fine.”

Her gaze shifted back to Noah, her voice softening.

“Are you sure you’re alright? Should we get you to a hospital?”

Noah gave a slow shake of his head, but the faint trace of frailty still clung to his face. “I’ll manage.”

As they settled in, the table soon brimmed with an array of exquisite dishes. Nathan reached for the utensils, eager to serve Sadie, but a stern look from Noah halted him mid-motion. Nathan awkwardly pulled back his hand and began to nibble on his meal.

He then decided it was time to address more pressing matters.

“Ms. Hudson,” he said, clearing his throat with a bit of formality, “Jarrett is marrying Ophelia the day after tomorrow. Any thoughts on their union?”

Sadie met his question with a mischievous look.

“Having second thoughts, Mr. Higgins? Tempted to steal the bride for yourself?”

Caught off guard, Nathan sputtered, struggling to regain his composure. He had no romantic interest in Jarrett’s fiancée whatsoever. To him, Ophelia was utterly unappealing; he would never consider her.

“Please, Ms. Hudson, let’s be serious,” he responded hastily, gesturing dismissively. “I just think that with Jarrett marrying a Johnson, their agendas will end up even more tightly bound. It’ll be even more difficult to deal with Jarrett at the company.”

Sadie paused to sip her drink, pondering his words.

“If that’s how things stand,” she said slowly, her voice heavy with suggestion, “why not send someone to cause a scene at the wedding? If the ceremony falls apart, wouldn’t that solve everyone’s problems?”

Nathan, taken aback by her suggestion, suddenly saw the potential. Then, as the idea clicked into place, his eyes lit with excitement. Was Sadie really suggesting they should send someone to throw the whole event into chaos and break the alliance?

Genius.

Realizing he had grasped her idea, Sadie smiled approvingly. Maybe he wasn’t as foolish as she’d assumed.noveldrama
