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

Chapter 1021:

Sadie blinked, caught off-guard by the worry in his voice. Wasn’t he being a little too dramatic?noveldrama

Her gaze dropped instinctively to her still-flat stomach.

Noah was likely unaware of her pregnancy yet. Otherwise, given his current feelings toward her, he would have already forced her to get rid of the baby.

Then an idea crossed her mind. She decided to test whether he knew about her pregnancy or not.

She sank back into the pillows and did her best to look frail and weak.

“What… What happened to me?” she asked softly.

Noah braced his elbows on the bed and leaned in to peer at her face.

The faint scent of lavender and something unmistakably his lingered in the air between them. It wafted over to Sadie and practically wrapped around her, as if to lay claim.

The scent brought a rush of feelings and memories from the past, causing her to briefly lose focus.

Thankfully, Noah didn’t seem to notice her reaction to his proximity. He reached out and pressed his large, warm palm against her forehead.

“You’re okay now. The fever broke.”

A soft breath of relief rushed past his lips, but then he frowned again. “You had a high fever. Don’t you remember anything? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere now? I’ll call the doctor.” He was already turning toward the door.

“Wait!” Sadie grabbed his arm without thinking.

She hadn’t meant for him to actually call the doctor. What if they found something other than her fever?

Noah stopped in his tracks, clearly surprised by the sudden touch. Then he pivoted on his feet—so quickly that he lost balance at the last second and found himself tipping forward.

The next thing Sadie knew, a weight was about to press down on her.

His broad chest, his toned abdomen…

She stayed still, eyes wide open.

Fortunately, Noah caught himself just in time before he crushed her with his body. His hands were braced on either side of Sadie, their faces so close to each other that their noses were nearly touching. Sadie couldn’t look away. She could feel his warm breath fanning against her cheek.

Noah couldn’t stop staring, either—her luscious lips were parted slightly, her eyes wide with innocent surprise. His gaze darkened, and a teasing smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

“Sadie,” he said, low and mischievous. “There’s really no need for you to try so hard to hang on to me…” He had more to say, but never got the chance to.

Sadie’s eyes suddenly flashed with anger. Without any warning, she jerked her knee upward.
