Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1154 Powerless

On the way back, Sadie couldn't shake off Terry's last words. When she tried to dig deeper later, he just brushed her off, saying they'd deal with the paperwork tomorrow and figure out the rest after. That got Sadie's curiosity buzzing. She remembered Micah once saying Tristan had a side chick and some kids, but Tristan never mentioned it, and she never heard any gossip about it. But what Terry said made her think maybe the rumors were true. Could those people Terry talked about be Tristan's secret family?

If that's the case, it might be worth checking out!

Anyway, having something important to focus on gave her a weird sense of comfort. At least she could do something for Tristan, something that felt kinda useful in this mess.

It seemed like Tristan had been planning this for a while. Terry was right; she should just follow his lead and not overthink stuff.

As she mulled over these thoughts, a tiny figure darted out. "Mommy!"

Sadie turned and saw Mia running out of the castle in a cute white cashmere coat.

Sadie quickly scooped her up. "Mia, why'd you come out? It's freezing!"

"I missed you, Mommy." Mia hugged Sadie's neck and snuggled in, being all cuddly.

"Good girl!" Sadie stroked her hair. "I had some stuff to take care of, but I'm back now, right?"

"Mommy, are you gonna marry Joe?" Mia asked softly. "What'll happen to us then?"

"Whether I get married or not won't change how much I love you." Sadie kissed Mia's forehead. "I'll love you forever, don't worry."

"What about Daddy?" Mia's voice wavered. "Are you really not gonna be with him anymore?"

Sadie's heart sank. She had told the kids multiple times that she and Micah were done, but they still had hope. What could she do? She just had to keep explaining. Sadie spoke softly. "Mia, we've separated."

"I know." Mia looked down, disappointed.

"Good girl!" Sadie carried Mia inside and changed the subject. "Are you hungry? How about we make some pizza? Wanna help?"

"Yeah, I do." Mia nodded.

Sadie quickly shifted Mia's focus, and they headed to the kitchen to make pizza together.

Noah watched from the hallway upstairs, staying quiet, and then went back to his room to read. But he couldn't concentrate on his book anymore.

In the afternoon, the internet at home suddenly went out. No computers, no TV, nothing.

He knew it was Sadie's doing. He had a pretty good idea of what was up but still wanted to confirm.

Hearing the car earlier, he was about to go downstairs to replace Sadie. But seeing her comforting Mia, he was already sure of the outcome.

It seemed Sadie was really gonna marry Joe.

The dream of a family reunion was slipping away.

Noah felt really down. Holding his smartwatch, he thought about calling Nathan but decided against it.

Maybe Nathan didn't know yet, so let him stay carefree.

But what about Micah?

Thinking of Micah made Noah feel even worse.

He remembered Micah saying not to meddle in adult stuff, that Sadie had her reasons, and they should support her.

Noah wondered, 'Dad is so understanding of Mom, so why does he have to be left behind?'

He didn't quite get adult emotions, but he felt Sadie must have her reasons. He trusted her but also felt bad for Micah. But he couldn't do anything about it.
