Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1135 Craig's Intentions

Craig chuckled, picking up where Joe left off. "Yeah, if you're into Celestia-style grub, we can totally hook you up with some Celestia chefs at home. Easy peasy." Craig usually didn't see eye to eye with Joe, but this time, he was on board. He'd been mulling over how to bring it up, but Joe's offhand comment did the trick. Noah just shot Sadie a complicated look, staying quiet.

"Thanks, Duke Louis," Sadie said politely. "How about we chat in the study after breakfast? Mine's just as impressive as Tristan's."

"Sure thing," Craig nodded, clearly intrigued. "I heard Tristan designed it just for you?"

"Yeah," Sadie replied, a touch of nostalgia in her voice. "Tristan really went all out on it."

When Sadie first came back to the James family, she was a shell of her former self, needing a solid six months to bounce back. During that time, Tristan was relentless, making sure she didn't just sit around moping. He set up daily lessons, each one packed with knowledge, pushing her to regain her strength and confidence. Evenings were all about books, each one carefully picked to expand her mind and soothe her soul.

Thanks to his tough love, Sadie picked up a ton of skills.

"Let's go check it out then," Craig smiled slightly.

Noah finished his breakfast in silence, put down his utensils, and said to Sadie, "Mom, I'm done. I'll go upstairs to hang with Mia."

"Alright, go ahead," Sadie looked at him tenderly.

"Enjoy your meal, Duke Louis. Later, Joe." Noah said to Craig and Joe.

"Later!" Joe grinned. Craig just nodded.

Noah gave them a polite nod and headed upstairs.

Craig watched him go and said meaningfully, "Noah's a real prodigy. How did Micah ever let you have custody?"

Sadie frowned slightly and changed the subject, "Let's talk in the study."

"Alright." Craig and Joe agreed.

The three of them headed to the study, where the butler, Michelle, served top-notch coffee and snacks before quietly leaving.

Annika and Arya stood by the door.

Craig sipped his coffee with elegance.

Joe was busy showing Sadie the gift he got her. "Sadie, I didn't get a chance to give this to you yesterday. I brought it from Country C."

"What is it?" Sadie opened the box to replace not a necklace but a box of fancy pastries.

Joe beamed, "I met a Celestia chef in Country C who's amazing at making Celestia-style desserts. I learned to make this from him. Try it, do you like it?"

He looked at Sadie expectantly.

"You made this?" Sadie was shocked. Joe had been pampered his whole life and never cooked. It was rare for him to learn to make Celestia-style pastries, which was quite a feat for him.

"Yeah, try it," Joe couldn't wait to hand her a piece. He added, "I got three more boxes for the kids, but I was worried they wouldn't taste good, and the kids would laugh at me, so I want you to try them first."

"Thanks!" Sadie smiled. If marriage weren't a factor, Joe would actually be a great friend.

She took a bite and exclaimed, "Wow, it's really good."

"Really? That's awesome," Joe was over the moon. "I was worried you wouldn't like it."

"How could I not? It's already really good," Sadie was touched. "But you don't have to do this in the future; it's too much trouble."

"It's no trouble at all. I love learning this stuff," Joe grinned, his eyes lighting up at Sadie's approval. "As long as you like it, I'll keep at it."

"Joe's never set foot in a kitchen his whole life. He's really gone the extra mile for you," Craig remarked with a mix of pride and concern. "As parents, we feel for him, but as long as he's happy, we'll support him." "Dad..." Joe mumbled, a faint blush creeping up his cheeks. He was really glad for Craig's unexpected praise.

"Duke Louis," Sadie smiled and changed the subject. "To answer your earlier question, Micah didn't want to let go. As a dad, he naturally wanted Noah to stay with him. But Noah's very independent and chose to live with me." "That's good," Craig nodded. "I see that Tristan likes him a lot, too."

"Yeah," Sadie got straight to the point. "You must have some matters to discuss with me privately, without Tristan, right?"
