Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 1124 Tristan's Sister
Noah squinted at his watch, wondering when they'd finally get to the point. He needed to buy Sadie some time.
Inside, four people sipped coffee.
Sadie got straight to it, "Old Duke Louis, thanks for coming to Skyport City to see me, but..."
She glanced at Joe and then Tristan.
"Just say it," Tristan frowned.
Sadie hesitated, "I think it's a bit rushed. Maybe we should wait..."
"Sadie, this has dragged on for over a year," Craig cut in, annoyed. "Joe's been chasing you for two years, from Skyport City to Newark and back. You've never given him a clear answer. Now that I'm here, you should decide." Sadie frowned, staying silent.
"Tristan supports this, and the Louis family is ready to accept your kids. What's the holdup?" Craig pressed. "Are you still thinking about Micah?"
"No, I'm not," Sadie replied quickly. "It's about the kids. They just left the Clemens family and need time to adjust. If I marry now, they'll feel unsettled."
"That's not an issue," Craig said. "The kids are smart and will understand. If they're uneasy, we can get a psychologist."
"But..." Sadie still frowned.
"I brought gifts," Craig continued. "Following your Celestia traditions, everything's ready. We're just waiting for your nod!"
He sipped his coffee and added, "Tristan and I discussed this. He has no objections, right, Tristan?"
"Yes," Tristan nodded.
Sadie looked down, feeling torn. Her brain said yes, but her heart resisted.
"Dad, don't push Sadie," Joe tried to help. "Let's give her some time. There's no rush."
"Shut up," Craig snapped.
Joe lowered his head, silent.
Craig lost patience. "Sadie, many want to marry into the Louis family. Your Uncle James's family has been to Sunvale many times. Knowing I was coming to Skyport City, they contacted me. His daughter isn't bad either. If you don't want to, we might consider them."
"Which Uncle James?" Sadie asked Tristan, "Is it Joshua James?"
Tristan didn't answer but said, "Old Duke Louis, I know Joshua is trying to win you over, and I know a marriage could threaten me. But don't use this to pressure Sadie. If she marries Joe, it should be for his honesty and sincerity, not family interests. My sister won't sacrifice her happiness for anything, nor will anyone threaten her!"
Sadie felt touched. Tristan had said this before, but now it meant more.
She always thought Tristan supported her marriage to Joe to strengthen his position. But now, he was standing up to Craig to protect her, showing her happiness mattered more to him than family interests.
