Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret
Chapter 328:
Averiâs face brightened, and a smile spread across his features as he quickly set down his bowl and spoon. âReally?â
Noah simply nodded, reached out, and tousled Averiâs hair. âFinish your meal first, then weâll go. Make sure to clear your bowl.â
Averi nodded enthusiastically, eagerly resuming his meal, his face glowing with anticipation.
Noah observed him with a complex expression.
At KFC, the scent of fried chicken enveloped them. Averi sat across from Noah, happily gripping a chicken leg, his face shiny with grease.
Noah studied the boy, and for a moment, a gentle softness crossed his face as a slight smile emerged.
He was rarely seen in such informal settings. His crisp, business-like attire stood out in the casual atmosphere of the fast-food restaurant.
âThis is so good!â Averi exclaimed, holding up a half-eaten chicken leg enthusiastically.
âTake your time. No oneâs going to take it from you,â Noah said, pulling out a tissue to gently wipe the grease from Averiâs mouth.
In a quiet corner of the restaurant, Jordynâs eyes landed on the unexpected scene.
She had only come to grab an ice cream and had never imagined sheâd stumble upon Noah here.
Noah was with a child?
Jordyn narrowed her eyes, studying Noah and the boy across from him. She recognized Noah, the prominent CEO of Wall Group, but the child seemed familiar too.

Acting on a hunch, Jordyn discreetly pulled out her phone, aimed it at Averi, and snapped a photo.
Once she captured the image, she swiftly opened WhatsApp, located the contact, and sent the photo along with a message. âGuess who I saw at KFC?â After sending it, Jordyn anxiously watched her phone screen, her heart pounding.
Meanwhile, Noah was oblivious to the fact that heâd been photographed. He was focused on teaching Averi how to use ketchup properly.
âSqueeze it out like this. Be careful not to get it on your clothes,â he instructed.
âGot it,â Averi replied, concentrating as he mimicked Noahâs actions, carefully squeezing ketchup onto his fries.
Watching Averiâs focused demeanor, Noah felt an unexpected warmth wash over him. Maybe bringing Averi to KFC was indeed a good idea.
Back in her apartment, Kyla stared intently at the photo on her phone. The man in the picture was a side of Noah she had never seen before.
âImpossibleâ¦â she murmured, her fingers trembling as she zoomed in on Averiâs face, which grew clearer by the second.
A cold shiver ran down her spine.
âItâs him⦠that bastardâ¦â Kylaâs voice was shaky, the words barely escaping her clenched teeth.
Could it be that Noah already knew? Did he know that Averi was his son? Was that why he continued to endure Sadieâs presence, even taking the time to go to KFC with the boy?
In a sudden fury, Kyla sprang to her feet, spilling her coffee. The hot liquid splashed onto her leg, but she barely flinched.
