Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1132 A Man's Dignity

Back at home, Sadie tiptoed into Mia's room to make sure everything was cool. The nightlight's soft glow showed Mia, who had already taken her meds and was out like a light. Paula was sitting next to her, gently patting her back. Mia was clutching her favorite stuffed animal, all snuggled up in Paula's protective embrace, looking like a little angel. Sadie smiled at the sweet scene and carefully tucked the blanket around both of them. "Thanks, Paula," she whispered, her gratitude shining in her eyes.

Paula looked up and returned the smile softly. "No biggie. I love Mia," she replied in a hushed tone. "You should get some rest. I'll stay with her." Sadie waved goodnight and quietly slipped out of the room.

She wanted to check on Noah, but seeing the light in his room was already off, she didn't want to wake him, so she headed back to her room.

But Noah wasn't sleeping. He was hiding under the covers, using a flashlight to video call Nathan.

He whispered, "That must've been Mom at the door earlier. She probably wanted to check on me but thought I was asleep and left."

"Why didn't you let Mom in? I wanna see her too," Nathan said, yawning. It was 5 AM in Newark, and he had gotten up early just to video call Noah.

"Mom's stressed out right now. Let's not bug her," Noah muttered, feeling a bit guilty.

"Anyway, as long as Mom doesn't get married," Nathan, always the carefree one, didn't think much of it. He grinned, "Don't worry, Mom won't be mad at you. She'll be fine soon."

"But I'm worried. What if Mom doesn't cancel the wedding?" Noah frowned. "And she might get chewed out by Uncle Tristan because of this."

"What? What should we do then?" Nathan got anxious.

"Let's wait and see," Noah didn't want him to worry too much and changed the subject, "How's Dad?"

"Dad's been a bit down these past few days, but he's trying to cheer me up. He even played soccer with me today," Nathan lay on the bed, resting his chin on his hands. "Dad and I are doing okay, but I'm worried about you and Mia."

"Mia was so pitiful tonight, throwing up. I feel really bad for her," Noah said guiltily. "When I went to see her, she even comforted me, telling me not to worry."

"Take it easy. Dr. Henry will fix her up," Nathan reassured him. "But next time, don't let her take the pills. If I were there, I would've taken them instead. At most, I'd get the runs."

The two kids were still chatting when Micah pulled his hand away from the door.

He had originally wanted to video call Noah to replace out about Sadie's situation, but he had already overheard everything.

Mia had taken the pills, causing vomiting and diarrhea. Noah had been scolded because of this, and there was no answer about the wedding yet, but Joe's family had already moved in. It seemed Sadie couldn't escape the fate of being wed to Joe.

Micah frowned and quietly left. This was his matter, and he couldn't let the kids handle it for him.

He sent Noah a text, asking him to call when he had a chance.

Soon, Noah called back, "Dad!"

"Noah," Micah chatted with him for a while before gently saying, "You and Mia shouldn't mess with your mom's stuff anymore, okay?"

"Dad, you know everything?" Noah asked softly.

"Yeah," Micah smiled bitterly. "This was my problem, but I let you handle it, and it even made Mia sick. I feel really ashamed."

"Dad, don't think like that..." Noah said softly.

Micah cut him off gently, "Be good. From now on, don't get involved in adult stuff. Your mom is very smart and independent. Whatever decision she makes, it's well thought out. You need to respect her choices." Micah paused and said seriously, "I might not agree with her decisions, but I'll handle it my way. That's a man's responsibility and dignity. Will you promise me, Noah?"
