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

Chapter 807:

A discomfort settled in her stomach again—waves of queasiness and little to no appetite had become common.

She didn’t know the cause.

Maybe it was simply fatigue. Or stress. Or both.

A soft sigh escaped her lips as she sat there, completely drained.

The next evening, Sadie entered the Dinner Bell.

The place had a general elegance to it, with soft piano music playing in the background.

She sat by the window, holding a tablet that displayed a data chart on Wall Group’s recent operations.

Her mind, however, was elsewhere.

Every so often, her gaze would flit over to the restaurant’s entrance, and her fingers would tap against the surface of her tablet in anticipation.

After what felt like forever, she finally saw a tall man in a dark suit step into the establishment. He had a refined demeanor that was quite hard to miss.

The man was none other than Evan Gill, the doctor Samuel had mentioned.

Evan scanned the floor, clearly searching for someone, his expression urgent. When he didn’t find who he was looking for, he headed straight to a private room located further back in the restaurant.

Sadie quickly averted her gaze.

Once Evan had disappeared through the door, she rose from her seat, adjusted her clothes, and discreetly walked toward the same private room.

Instead of knocking on the door, she took a seat just a couple of tables away. From there, she could hear the conversation from the people inside the private room.

It seemed that the room hadn’t been soundproofed properly—thank God.

Sadie held her breath and focused all her attention on eavesdropping.

Indeed, she was able to make out the voices on the other side.

Apart from Evan, Sadie also heard a woman—her voice sweet and coquettish.

She froze.

She recognized that voice. It belonged to Hailey!

What was she doing here? Was Hailey the one Evan came to meet? What kind of business would the two discuss inside?

Sadie’s hands balled into fists, and a muscle ticked at her jaw.

She took a deep breath to maintain her composure, exhaled slowly, and continued listening to the conversation inside.

At that same moment, inside the private room, Hailey was wearing a sickeningly sweet smile.

“It’s been years since we last met, and you’re even more charming than I remembered, Evan!”
