Chapter 781

Chapter 781:

This face… After three years, it remained hauntingly familiar, so much so that, despite his lost memories, her heart raced just from seeing him.

The tension in the air thickened.

A blush spread swiftly across Sadie’s cheeks.

She abruptly turned away, her heart racing as she evaded Noah’s intense gaze. Noah was alarmingly close.

His faint lavender scent mixed with his unmistakable masculine aura disconcerted her.

As Noah observed the blush that tinted Sadie’s ears, his gaze deepened, the memory of touching her soft skin leaving a tingling sensation on his fingertips. He had approached her to ensure she was unharmed after the previous night’s tumult.

Yet, when his fingers brushed her forehead, an undefined emotion surged through him, leaving him unsettled.

He cleared his throat, putting his hand in his pocket as though to erase the moment of contact.

“Did last night leave you unharmed?” he inquired.

Regaining her composure, Sadie made sure her response was even-toned. “I’m fine,” she stated, deliberately avoiding his probing eyes. She redirected the topic to their professional matters. “Mr. Noel, per our agreement, I’ve brought the transfer agreement for thirty percent of the Wall Group’s shares and the contract for preferential cooperation rights over the next year. They’re ready for your examination,” she explained, presenting him with the folder in a strictly professional manner.

Taking the documents, Noah began to review them. Then, Sadie hastened to conclude their meeting.

“The contracts have been delivered, and I must depart now,” she announced. Turning to leave, she was keen to distance herself from the unsettling atmosphere.

However, as she moved to step away, she felt a firm grasp on her wrist. Noah had reached out instinctively, his irritation at her departure mingling with a reluctance to part with her.

Surprised by his sudden pull, Sadie stumbled backward slightly.

A soft gasp left her lips as she toppled directly into Noah’s arms, enveloped by his warmth and the comforting scent of lavender.

Noah hadn’t anticipated this turn of events.

As he held her, the delicate warmth of her body against his sparked a profound sense of recognition.

He momentarily froze, feeling as though a dormant part of him had suddenly been revived.

A strange, unidentifiable longing surfaced in his chest.

His embrace involuntarily tightened.

Sadie’s body tensed, her thoughts momentarily wiped clean. Her cheek rested against Noah’s shirt, allowing her to hear the steady thumping of his heart.
