Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1178 Complex and Unspeakable

Sadie and Joe spent the whole morning teaching, and finally, they got a few kids to ride horses. The kids were stoked and raced their ponies together.

Arya and the other female bodyguards were on high alert, making sure nothing went wrong.

Just then, Paula called to remind Sadie it was time to head back for her treatment.

Sadie saw the kids having a blast and didn't want to interrupt, so she told Jesse to keep an eye on them and got ready to head back to the villa with Annika.

Amanda quickly told Joe to go with Sadie, saying she'd stay with the kids and take them to the vineyard for lunch.

Sadie thanked her and hopped into the carriage.

Joe climbed in too. "Sadie, I'm coming with you. Mom said I gotta take care of you."

"I'm not a kid. I don't need a babysitter," Sadie said with a smile. "You go ride; don't worry about me."

"No way, Mom will chew me out if I don't help you," Joe insisted, looking for an excuse. "Just let me take care of you. While you're getting treatment, I can whip up your lunch. I've learned how to make oatmeal, and it's bomb." "Alright," Sadie gave in, unable to say no to his earnest offer.

Back at the villa, Sadie went to the medical room, and Joe headed to the kitchen to make her lunch. After her treatment, Sadie felt a bit wiped and had Annika help her back to her room.

She flopped onto the sofa, ready for a nap, when Joe burst in, pushing a dining cart loaded with food.

"Sadie, lunch is ready. Come and try it," he announced with a grin.

"I'm not hungry," Sadie started to refuse, but softened when she saw the table laid out with fancy dishes. "Did you make all this?"

"Yep, just learned how. Try it and see how it tastes," Joe handed her a spoon. "Start with some oatmeal."

"Thanks," Sadie took it and had a spoonful of oatmeal. "Oh, this is really good."

"Really? I've been practicing a lot," Joe said happily. "Try this roasted chicken leg."

Sadie took a bite and nodded approvingly. "It's pretty good."

"Looks like there's still room for improvement," Joe said with an embarrassed smile. "I'll keep working on it."

"You don't really need to learn all this," Sadie said softly. "You have your own stuff to do."

"No, I don't. I've got nothing pressing," Joe said casually. "Might as well keep busy."

"Isn't the gym project already underway?" Sadie asked, puzzled. "I heard from Clarence that the opening ceremony is in a few days."

"Dad's handling it now," Joe blurted out, then looked at Sadie nervously. "You're not mad, are you?"

"That project is your baby. Why'd you hand it over?" Sadie frowned slightly.

"I wanted to spend more time with you," Joe said, but seeing Sadie's displeasure, he quickly confessed. "Alright, truth is, I wanted to avoid Micah."

Sadie lowered her eyes and pretended to be indifferent. "You're overthinking it. He's so busy he doesn't have time to take over this project personally. For the Clemens Group, it's just a small investment." "No, he put in more money, and the project's expansion is all because of him," Joe said, his expression complicated. "Didn't you know about this?"

"No," Sadie replied calmly. "I'm just a minor shareholder in this project; no one told me."

"My bad. Sadie, don't be mad," Joe hurriedly explained. "I should have told you earlier." "When did he invest?" Sadie asked casually.

"A while ago," Joe answered cautiously. "The day our engagement was announced publicly. I thought he would pull out, but surprisingly..." "Oh," Sadie responded, her voice steady, but her mind was a whirl of complex emotions.
