"Dad, what's up?" Nathan asked, noticing Micah's worried look. "Is it about Noah and Mia, or Mom getting remarried?" "Both," Micah replied, always open with the kids. "But I'll handle it, don't worry."

"No need to stress. Noah's got a plan," Nathan said proudly. "Mom won't be able to marry for at least two months." "Really?" Micah perked up. "What's the plan?"

"Wait till tonight. Noah will fill you in," Nathan said mysteriously. "It's not finalized yet, so I can't say much."

"Nathan, keeping secrets from me?" Micah teased, patting his head.

"Hehe!" Nathan grinned.

In Country E, heavy snow blanketed Skyport City.

Annika had the servants dress Noah and Mia in special down jackets and little military boots.

Sadie wore a long white coat and hat, with military boots gripping the steps firmly, making her walk look determined.

Sadie held the kids' hands as they descended the stairs, with Annika, Arya, and eighteen female bodyguards following. The kids looked around, curious and excited.

Noah's steady gaze caught Craig's attention.

Craig whispered to Joe, "No wonder Mr. James likes Noah. He's got potential."

"All three kids are charming and cute," Joe smiled, then greeted warmly, "Sadie, Noah, Mia!"

"Hi, Uncle Joe," Noah and Mia said politely.

Noah smiled and shook Joe's hand. He liked Joe, even if he didn't want Sadie to marry him. Joe seemed honest and kind. "Me too!" Mia extended her hand and shook Joe's.

They both smiled.

Seeing the kids warm up to Joe, Sadie felt relieved. She then greeted Craig, "Duke Louis, sorry to keep you waiting!"

"Just got here early," Craig smiled. "You look thinner. It's good to be back. Newark's climate didn't suit you; Skyport City is better." This simple comment had deeper meaning.

"Yes," Sadie nodded, then called the kids, "Noah, Mia, greet Duke Louis."

"Hello, Duke Louis," they said politely.

"Hello," Craig replied, admiring them. "Such smart kids; they have the James family spirit."

Noah instinctively glanced at Craig, slightly frowning.

Mia looked confused, not getting the meaning.

"Let's get in the car. Tristan's waiting at home," Craig said.

"Alright, after you, Duke Louis," Sadie replied respectfully.
