Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1172 The Real Purpose

"As long as you dig it." Sadie grinned, feeling a wave of relief. Before they even hit Country C, Tristan had everything sorted, including gifts for the Louis family elders. No stress, no mess.

Tonight, she finally realized just how swanky those gifts were. A pearl that big? Good luck replaceing that in any store.

Tristan had her back, making sure no one would look down on her. Wherever she went, she'd be treated like royalty.

"I love it so much. Thanks, Sadie!" Amanda was over the moon with the pearl and hugged Sadie tight.

"No problem!" Sadie beamed.

"I'm so jealous. Sadie never gives me gifts," Joe chimed in, faking jealousy.

"You little rascal, jealous of me?" Amanda laughed, holding Sadie's hand as they headed to the living room. "Sadie, come on, let's sit and chat." "Sure thing." Sadie smiled.

"I also brought gifts for the kids, planning to give them personally tomorrow morning," Amanda said with a grin. "Oh, and for these two as well." Amanda gave a nod, and Barbara quickly handed gifts to Annika and Arya.

"Even we get something?" Arya was a bit taken aback.

"I've heard you two are Sadie's right-hand gals and good friends. You'll be living with us, and I warmly welcome you!" Amanda said sincerely. Annika and Arya glanced at Sadie, saw her nod, and then accepted the gifts, thanking her respectfully, "Thanks, Duchess Louis." "We're all family; no need to be so formal. Just take it." Amanda still smiled.

"Do you like them?" Joe, always kind to Annika and Arya, asked.

"We love them, thanks," Annika and Arya replied politely.

Amanda chatted away with Sadie, clearly fond of her and with plenty to talk about. Sadie responded politely and courteously.

Joe couldn't get a word in and ended up serving them tea.

After chatting for over half an hour, Amanda finally got tired, yawned, and held Sadie's hand, saying, "Sadie, it's super late. Let's pick this up tomorrow." "Okay, Duchess Louis," Sadie quickly stood up. "I'll see you upstairs."

"No need; Barbara will accompany me," Amanda said with a knowing smile. "You and Joe should get some rest. I'm looking forward to grandkids soon." Hearing this, Sadie was momentarily stunned and felt super awkward. Joe's face turned beet red.

"Oh, you're still shy," Amanda gently patted Joe's shoulder and laughed. "You're both grown-ups now. What's there to be shy about?"

"Mom, stop it," Joe quickly cut in, trying to change the subject. "Let me help you upstairs."

"You mean you two haven't..." Amanda finally caught on.

"Mom!" Joe was anxious.

"Alright," Amanda smiled and sighed. "I was too impatient. I thought you two had already... since you're getting married soon."

Sadie smiled and looked down, not saying a word.

"It's okay. These things can't be rushed," Amanda patted Sadie's hand. "Sadie, I won't push you. Take your time."

With that, she left with a smile.

"Sadie, I'm sorry," Joe apologized awkwardly.

"It's okay, go take care of Duchess Louis," Sadie gently reminded him.

"Okay," Joe quickly followed.

The other attendants also left. Sadie watched their backs, her smile slowly fading.

"I knew it, after all that, it was about this," Arya, always blunt, yelled out. "The Duchess is worried this marriage will be just for show, so she came to make it real!"
