Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1217 You Couldn't Even Wait One Night

Joe stood by the door, looking at Micah like a deer caught in headlights, shaking like a leaf.

After a beat, he snapped out of it and noticed the small gun in his hand. Freaked out, he quickly stuffed it up his sleeve.

"What's it to you?" Sadie shot back, her voice icy. "From the moment you snatched the kid at the wedding and forced me away, we were done. Who I'm with now, who I marry, none of your business. You got no right to ask." "So, you really were together last night?" Micah pressed, ignoring everything else. He just needed that answer.

Sadie dropped her gaze and muttered, "Yeah."

Last night, she was with Joe. Since he asked, she had to come clean.

"Great, just great!" Micah sneered, his last shred of hope crumbling. The calm facade vanished, replaced by a cold, murderous glare.

He had thought this was some scheme by the Louis family to keep him from reconciling with her and to protect the marriage.

He even considered that Sadie might've been framed, drugged, or forced. If something did happen, as long as it wasn't her choice, he'd forgive her.

But there was no sadness, regret, or anger on her face. Just distance.

Amanda and Joe had spoken to her like family, and she didn't push back at all.

Now, he asked about last night, and she answered him straight up.

It was like a sledgehammer, smashing the last bit of hope in Micah's heart.

Yeah, he shouldn't have hoped, shouldn't have had any wild dreams.

Since she came back, she wasn't the Sadie he used to know.

Micah's fists trembled, his eyes locked on Sadie like a predator ready to pounce.

"Everything's clear now." Sadie still couldn't look at him, her head down. "Thanks for bringing Nathan to see me. I hope he can stay a few more days. I want to spend time with him and Mia. You can hang with Noah." She was still talking about the kids, like last night didn't matter. She didn't notice Micah's eyes shifting from calm to murderous.

"You can take Noah and crash somewhere else for a few days. Do whatever, as long as the kids are cool with it." Sadie said in one breath, adding, "I've said my piece. Goodbye!"

She got up to leave, but Micah lunged at her like a beast, pinning her to the sofa with the force of a lion taking down its prey.

Filled with killing intent!

"Micah." Joe rushed over but was blocked by Andrew.

"Ms. James!" Arya tried to intervene but was held back by Rodolfo.

Micah grabbed Sadie's jaw, his voice a furious growl. "Sadie! Do you know I've been busting my ass to fix the feud between the James and Clemens families? I've been doing everything to get close to you, to make it up to you. I even faced death, crawling back from the brink just to replace you. Every time I was near death, thinking of you kept me going. I thought you were waiting for me, waiting for me to clear all obstacles and come get you!"

Micah shouted, "But you didn't! You couldn't even wait one night. You knew I was coming today, but last night you couldn't wait to throw yourself into Joe's arms."
