Chapter 207
A slight smirk passed fleetingly across Kyla’s face as she leaned into Isabel’s hug.
Taking Kyla’s hand firmly, Isabel led the way with urgency, pulling her along.
Kyla struggled to keep pace with Isabel, her breathing uneven. Despite this, she managed a serene smile and occasionally said, “Let’s slow down a bit. We wouldn’t want you to trip.”
Isabel seemed deaf to Kyla’s concerns. Visions of Sadie and Alex, with their three-year-old child, fueled her growing rage. She was eager to confront Noah and demand answers directly.
The sprawling Myrtlewood Estate loomed majestically ahead. Upon their arrival, the butler, Breck Wagner, immediately approached them with a swift greeting. “Mrs. Wall, Miss Wade, welcome.” He was about to call Noah when he heard the sound of footsteps at the grand entrance.
Noah had returned.
Dressed in a sharp, dark gray suit that accentuated his lean stature, Noah looked both weary and commanding. Though there was a slight weariness in his eyes, he still carried an air of authority.
Isabel’s temper reached its peak when she saw him. Abruptly releasing Kyla’s hand, she marched straight to Noah, her voice filled with accusation. “Noah! You need to explain now! What is this mess with Sadie all about?”
Noah’s brow furrowed in confusion. He was taken aback by both Isabel’s tone and her unexpected question. “Mom, why are you so upset? What happened?”
Isabel’s sneer was sharp as she retorted, “You’re asking what happened? Tell me, Noah, did Sadie cheat on you and have a child with Alex?”noveldrama
Noah’s face hardened, and his eyes narrowed. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
At that moment, Kyla moved closer to Isabel, gently pulling at her sleeve and whispering, “Please, try to stay calm and speak with Noah without being angry.”
Every journey starts at g?lnσν?s﹒о
Isabel turned to Kyla, her face twisted in distress. After a deep breath, she managed to regain control and, pointing towards Kyla, she turned to Noah. “Take a good look at how great Kyla is. She’s gentle, virtuous, and well-mannered. When do you plan to marry her so we can finally be at peace?”
Noah glanced at Kyla briefly before addressing Isabel. “Mom, let me manage my own affairs.”
Isabel’s temper flared again. “Let you? And how well has that worked out for you? Sadie has tricked you! She’s had a child with another man, yet you continue to defend her!”
Noah’s expression darkened, his lips tightly sealed as he chose not to respond.
Tears began to well up in Kyla’s eyes as she whispered, “Please stop fighting. This is all my fault…”
Isabel pulled Kyla into an embrace, shooting a stern look at Noah. “You’ve let me down! I insist you divorce Sadie and marry Kyla immediately!”
The atmosphere in the living room grew heavy and oppressive.
“Mom, I’ll handle it. Please, go back and rest.”
Isabel’s anger escalated when she heard his calm response. “What kind of attitude is that? I’m just worried about you, and here you are—”
“Mrs. Wall…” Kyla interrupted softly, halting Isabel’s words. “Noah surely has his reasons. Let’s go back now and not make this harder for him.”
Kyla spoke softly, gently tugging at Isabel’s sleeve.
Isabel felt a pang in her heart, recognizing Kyla’s sensibility and consideration. She sighed and turned to Noah, her voice heavy with resignation. “Noah, you are on your own now. Take care.” With those parting words, she left.
Just as Kyla was about to follow, Noah’s cold voice halted her.
She paused and turned back, her expression filled with confusion.
“About what Jordyn and Beccy did, are you involved?”
