Chapter: 942
Holding her phone, Sadie dialed Holden’s number once again, hoping for a solution to her predicament.
Continuously reaching out since her awakening, each call remained unanswered, No one around could connect her to him. The realization that Holden never assigned anyone to her side like Theodore had done for Ariana made her feel resentful, Disconnections plagued her calls, leaving panic and regret in their wake.
Intuition whispered something awry might have occurred. Anxiety grew, the fear of discovery gnawing at her. If Holden’s situation unraveled and her involvement with the aphrodisiac surfaced, consequences would be dire.
Her gaze shifted, resting on Adele engrossed in doll play nearby. Annoyance surged as she instructed, “Call your father.”
Yet, Adele remained unmoved, absorbed in her play. Sadie’s countenance darkened, silent frustration directed at the child. Suddenly, the door swung open, Shawn and Holden entering. Swiftly, she regained composure, feigning weakness with a cough. Prepared to voice her grievances, Sadie’s words stalled as Holden hastened toward Adele, disregarding her entirely.
Sadie’s words got caught in her throat, a sense of grievance gnawing at her. But then, she realized something was off.
Why did Holden act as if nothing had transpired? Was he immune to the aphrodisiac’s effects? How had he broken free from its grip?
Sadie’s heart trembled, besieged by a torrent of worrying thoughts. A few possibilities arose — maybe Holden hadn't returned to his room at all, or he had stumbled upon something amiss, or, in the worst case scenario, another woman had entered his room.
The more she pondered, the more her flustered state deepened. She stole furtive glances at Holden and tentatively inquired, “Why did you only just arrive? You have no idea how upset | am. My whole body aches.
To her dismay, Holden remained absorbed in checking on Adele’s well-being, not sparing a glance in her direction.
Unable to endure being ignored, Sadie’s eyes brimmed with tears. Observing that Holden’s attention still eluded her, her sobs echoed, a symphony of distress.
Only then did Holden raise his head, casting an impassive glance her way, and uttered in a toneless voice, “If you’re in so much discomfort, | can call a doctor for you.”
Choking back tears, Sadie accused, “How can you not care one bit about me? I’m your fiancée, and Adele’s mother, after all. How can you be so cold and indifferent?”
Holden heaved a weary sigh and reminded her, “You should recall what I’ve told you before.” That he could not provide her with emotional affection.
However, in this moment, Sadie’s tear-filled doe eyes continued to fixate on him, her weeping growing even more intense.
