Chapter 206:

Kyla let out a forced smile, yet her eyes reddened slightly as if she were holding back tears.

Isabel, ever perceptive, immediately sensed something was amiss. “Kyla, what’s wrong? Did Noah upset you?” she asked, her voice laden with concern.

Kyla shook her head slightly and sighed, hesitating.

“If something’s bothering you, you should tell me. Don’t keep it all to yourself,” Isabel urged, patting her hand gently.

Kyla seemed to muster her resolve, biting her lip before speaking in a hushed tone. “Mrs. Wall, I… I ran into Sadie at the hospital today.”

“Sadie?” Isabel’s expression tightened, her voice tinged with displeasure.

“Yes, Sadie. She’s with Alex. And… and…”

“And what?” Isabel pressed, her impatience mounting as she picked up her coffee cup again.

Kyla took a deep breath, looking like she was gathering her courage.

“They have a son. He’s about three years old.”

“A son? Are you certain?”

Isabel’s hands trembled, causing her coffee cup to tilt, spilling some of its contents onto her hand, but she seemed not to notice.

Kyla quickly snatched a few tissues and dabbed at Isabel’s hand. “Be careful, Mrs. Wall,” she murmured softly.

Isabel sat stunned, her eyes glazed as if struggling to grasp the revelation.

Kyla bowed her head, and tears finally spilled over, dotting Isabel’s hand.

Isabel, jolted back to reality, clasped Kyla’s hand tightly, her grip firm. “What did you say? Say it again!”

Kyla stifled a sob and said, “I saw it myself. They had a child with them, a little boy, about three years old. He… he resembles Alex.”

Isabel’s face paled, her breathing heavy with rising anger. She stood abruptly and began to pace the living room, murmuring, “How could this happen… How could something like this happen?”

Tears rolled down Kyla’s cheeks.

Isabel stopped in her tracks, gesturing toward the door as she yelled, “That shameless bitch! She’s a complete seductress! I knew she was up to no good with Noah!”

Kyla gently took hold of Isabel’s sleeve and whispered, “Please, don’t be upset. It’s not worth it.”

Angrily, Isabel jerked her hand away, asking, “How can I not be? Sadie has tricked Noah, and she even…”

Overcome with anger, Isabel found herself unable to finish her thoughts, her cheeks flushed with fury.

Quick to offer solace, Kyla placed a gentle hand on Isabel’s back, trying to calm her. “Please, calm down. We don’t have all the details yet. Perhaps there’s been some mistake.”

Rejecting the comfort, Isabel shoved Kyla’s hand away, retorting, “A mistake? She has a child with her! How could that be a mistake?” The force of Isabel’s push made Kyla stumble, fresh tears gathering in her eyes.

Bowing her head, Kyla murmured softly, “Don’t worry. It might merely be a coincidence.”

With a dismissive laugh, Isabel replied, “A coincidence? Are we really to believe that such coincidences exist? Sadie has always been a schemer. I figured her out a long time ago!”

Kyla chose silence, pressing her lips together. Isabel, noticing her vulnerable expression, felt a twinge of compassion. She enveloped Kyla in a warm embrace, rubbing her back gently as she said, “Could this be the reason why Noah didn’t come with you? Don’t worry. You have my full support, Kyla.”
