Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1052 The Children's Choice (2)

When Mia heard the news, she broke down, burying herself in Sadie's arms, hoping to avoid the harsh reality. Nathan's tears flowed, but unlike Mia, he just sobbed quietly.

Micah, unable to pressure the kids, quickly said, "It's okay. You can chiise later. For now, you can all stay with Mom, and I'll figure things out." Sadie, however, was firm. "Choose now. I'm going back to Country E in three days. There's no time to wait!"

Micah was stunned. 'She's really leaving for Country E. No wonder she's so determined today. Has she truly decided never to see me again?' Nathan clung to Sadie's hand, crying, "Mom, don't do this. I want us to stay together as a family."

Sadie's eyes were wet, but she remained resolute. "It's impossible, Nathan. Your dad and I won't be together. You have to choose one of us." Nathan couldn't hold back and started crying loudly.

"Stop crying," Noah said sternly. "I'll go first. I choose to stay with Mom!" He was decisive but couldn't bring himself to look at Micah. Micah looked at Noah with no blame, just guilt and pity.

"Nathan, your turn," Noah ordered like a big brother. "I'll count to three, and you give your answer."

"No, don't," Nathan cried, panicked and scared.

"One!" Noah started counting.

"No, don't make me choose. I can't choose," Nathan cried anxiously.

"Two!" Noah ignored his pleas.

"No."

"Three!" Noah shouted. "If you don't choose now, it means you're staying with Mom."

"Dad. I choose Dad!" Nathan blurted out, almost without thinking, then looked at Sadie in panic. "Mom, I'm sorry!"

Sadie, though expecting it, felt a pang of hurt and disappointment. She forced a smile and said gently, "It's okay, Nathan. You can live with Dad." Nathan, still nervous, looked at Noah.

"Mom's right," Noah said calmly. "No matter what you choose, it's not wrong. We just live in different places. It doesn't change our relationship." Nathan finally felt a bit relieved.

Mia watched, her tense mood easing. She looked at Sadie timidly, wanting to say something but too scared.

"Mia, your turn," Noah said. "Do you choose to stay with Dad or Mom? Want me to count?"

"I choose to stay with Dad," Mia whispered, barely audible, but everyone heard.

She lowered her head, not daring to look at Sadie, twisting her fingers, and cried. "Mom, I love you, but I don't want to go to Country E. I want to stay in Newark with Dad."

"I understand," Sadie said, holding Mia's face and wiping her tears, though she was crying too. "It's okay. I'll leave Hubert here to treat you. When you're better, I'll come back to see you." "No," Micah said urgently. "You're also in treatment; you and Mia can't be separated."

He remembered Hubert saying Sadie's treatment would last three months and couldn't be interrupted. If it was, all previous efforts would be wasted.
