Chapter 578

Regina looked up in shock as Noah pushed through the crowd, his face filled with anger.

A wave of guilt flashed in her eyes as he approached. She scrambled to her feet, flustered.

“Honey… why are you here?” she asked weakly.

Noah’s expression was dark, his voice tightly controlled to keep from shouting. “If I hadn’t come, who knows what kind of scene you would have caused? Can’t you just stay home? Do you have to come out here and make a fool of yourself?”

There was no hiding the disgust in his eyes as he looked at Regina, who had once been his employee.

After a work dinner one night…

Regina managed to get into Noah’s bed but then disappeared the next day. He searched for her for a while but eventually gave up when she couldn’t be found.

To his surprise, she showed up at his door six months later–

pregnant, with a fetal sex determination report in hand. Noah’s mother had always wanted a grandson and threatened to disown him if he didn’t marry R Reluctantly, Noah agreed to the marriage. At first, Regina seemed caring and thoughtful, so he decided to try to make it work.

Unfortunately, the honeymoon phase did not last long.

Not long after their son was born, Regina’s true nature emerged. She became controlling, constantly checking Noah’s phone. If she saw him talking to any woman for even a few minutes, she would pick a fight, sometimes even showing up at his office to create a scene.

Noah was worn down, both at work and at home. Over time, he grew to loathe her. They had been sleeping in separate bedrooms for years, and he handed over most of his salary each month. All he hoped for was that she would just stay home and take care of their son.

Despite this, Regina couldn’t even do that. She had caused a scene at his workplace just recently, and now here she was again, stirring up trouble at the Regina gritted her teeth, her temper rising. “Do you even know what happened? Our son got beaten up today! And all you do is blame me! I gave you a son–

how could you be so heartless, Noah?”

Noah had no patience for her dramatics.

“Talready talked to the kindergarten teacher on my way here. She said Kayden insulted Mason first. Mason was hurt too. You’re coming with me, and the two of you are going to apologize to him!” he demanded.

He tried to pull Kayden along, but Regina smacked his hand away and shouted, “Noah! I’m telling you right now, there’s no way I’m making my son apolo “If you try to force me, I’ll go online and tell everyone about what you did to me. Let’s see how long you can hold onto your precious manager position after that!”

Noah felt utterly exhausted as he looked at her.

On the way to the hospital, he had already figured out that the child Kayden had insulted was the son of the headquarters CEO. His job was probably already in Jeopardy.

He had hoped to resolve things by apologizing and resigning gracefully, but now it seemed that option was off the table.

Upon seeing him fall silent, Regina’s eyes lit up with satisfaction. She knew how much his job meant to him–every time they argued, he would cave as soon as she threatened his position.

After a long pause, Noah spoke slowly. “If that’s what you want, then go ahead. Tell everyone. don’t need to keep living like this.”

I’m done. I Regina’s face went pale as she grabbed his arm. “What do you mean? Are you going to abandon us? Over something so small?!”

Noah looked at her, feeling utterly drained.

Regina had never understood what really mattered. For years, he had been juggling the heavy demands of his job and the chaos she created at home. Now, he was just TOO tired to keep it up anymore.
