Chapter 400
She felt like an outsider, witnessing the scene unfold with a storm of emotions.
“Let bygones be bygones,” Noah responded flatly, showing no emotion.
Kyla seized on his words as if they were a lifeline.
She turned to Sadie with an inquisitive look. “Sadie, you… don’t mind, do you?”
Caught off guard by Kyla’s direct address, Sadie took a deep breath to steady her voice.
“I…”
She clenched her fists, her nails pressing into her palms. As she struggled to maintain her composure, her voice wavered slightly.
“Thank you, Mr. Wall, for your kindness. I won’t impose any longer.”
A flicker of triumph passed through Kyla’s eyes, quickly masked by a feigned look of concern.
“Sadie, what’s wrong? Did I say something to upset you? Please don’t misunderstand. I just…”
“There’s no misunderstanding,” Sadie interjected firmly.
She turned to Noah, managing a forced smile.
“Mr. Wall, I’ve booked my flight home for tonight. Averi’s educational trip will end soon, and I need to pick him up.”noveldrama
Noah’s expression tightened, a hint of displeasure crossing his features.
“Why rush back tonight? Tomorrow would be just as fine.”
“But I need to leave now,” Sadie insisted, her voice steady and resolute. “There are many things I need to handle.”
Staying any longer felt unbearable to her, each moment more suffocating than the last.
Kyla’s presence was like a thorn in her side, each breath sharpened with discomfort and pain.

Kyla reached out to gently grasp Noah’s arm, her eyes brimming with tears.
“Noah, is Sadie still upset with me? I know it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have…”
Noah, however, was focused on Sadie.
“I’ll go back with you.”
“No.” Sadie declined sharply. “I can manage on my own.”
She was eager to leave, to distance herself from the weight of the current situation.
“Sadie…” Noah began, but Sadie cut him off.
“Mr. Wall, please show some respect.” Her tone was icy.
Without another word, she turned and walked away, her steps brisk and determined.
Noah watched her leave, his face a complex mask of emotions, irritation bubbling beneath the surface.
Kyla, sensing an opportunity, leaned closer to him, her voice a whisper.
“Noah, don’t be upset with Sadie. It’s probably because of me…”
“Enough!” Noah snapped, pushing her away abruptly. His voice was icy as he added, “Don’t mention this again.”
He then turned and walked away, leaving Kyla alone, her expression one of shocked pallor.
Back in her room, Sadie quickly gathered her belongings, her mind set on leaving without delay.
She called Nanette.
“Nanette, please book me a flight home tonight. Thanks.”
“What happened, Sadie? You don’t sound like yourself.” Nanette expressed her concern.
“It’s nothing. I just need to return earlier than planned,” Sadie replied, her tone strained as she fought back her emotions. “Averi’s vacation will begin soon, and I want to be there for him.”

Message from Noah:
I hope you’re enjoying the new chapters! More novels are on the way this week, so stay tuned to the website for updates.
I’m also working on a new section featuring VIP novels. This initiative is meant to help protect some of the website’s content, since a few sites have been copying everything I publish—even my messages.
In the near future, I’ll introduce a subscription model that will grant access to all these VIP novels. But don’t worry—free content will still be available. For example, if we release 10 novels, 6 will remain free while 4 will be VIP.
The idea behind the VIP novels is not only to prevent other websites from copying everything, but also to thank the people who support this project and help us keep the website running. I truly appreciate the kind messages you send me on WhatsApp and your constant support—thank you for being part of this community.
Lastly, my goal is to publish 1,000 novels, and I hope you, dear reader, will continue to enjoy this website along the way. God loves you, and Noah wishes you all the best. (=?=)/
