Chapter 1229 Mr. James Is So Capable
On the private jet from Grapetown Heights to Sunvale, Sadie was deep in her own head, her brain a mess of worry and guilt.
Jesse had been trying to get ahold of Tristan, but no dice. Even Tristan's crew was MIA, and every other way they tried to get info hit a brick wall. Country E was locked up tighter than a drum, with zero info leaking out. It was like trying to break into Fort Knox.
Sadie's anxiety was through the roof. Over a month ago, when she bailed from Skyport City, she was worried but always thought Tristan would handle it. To her, Tristan was like a superhero. She never thought things would get this bad and totally out of control.
Guilt was eating her alive. For the past two years, she'd taken Tristan's protection for granted. She never really tried to get him, the James family, or the James Group. She was always the last to know when Tristan was in trouble, and now that ignorance was killing her.
She stared out the window, feeling more lost than ever. Her heart was torn between wanting to rush back to Country E to replace Tristan and the thought of leaving her kids behind, which made her chest tighten. "Ms. James, don't stress too much," Annika said, trying to comfort her. "We gotta believe in Mr. James. He'll get through this and come to Country C to get us."
"Yeah, Mr. James is a total badass; nothing's gonna happen to him," Arya chimed in.
Sadie just looked down and stayed quiet. Craig and Amanda's attitudes made it clear how bad things were for Tristan. If he didn't show up on the wedding day, then things were seriously messed up. "Ms. James, don't worry," Jesse noticed Sadie's unease and tried to reassure her. "Before we left, Mr. James told me not to believe any rumors. He'll definitely come to get you and the kids!" "Okay," Sadie nodded.
Jesse's calmness was a bit of a comfort. Annika was right; she needed to believe in Tristan. He could handle anything. What she needed to do now was protect his kids and not add to his problems. Sadie looked back at the three sleeping kids and felt a sudden resolve.
The flight wasn't long, and soon they landed in Sunvale.
After getting off the plane, the kids were still out cold. Annika had already sorted out a place to stay, and they took the kids to a villa in the suburbs to settle in.
The kids woke up just in time and were all curious about the new house, running around looking for Noah, Nathan, and Mia.
The three little girls thought Noah, Nathan, and Mia would be waiting for them here.
Sadie watched their happy faces and couldn't help but feel touched. How awesome would it be if they could bring Noah and the others back and let all six kids live together?
"These kids have so much energy," Arya said, following the three kids, looking a bit tired. "I'm exhausted just watching them."
"They're running around like crazy; it's exhausting," Annika laughed. "It's only three-thirty in the morning. They'll crash soon and go back to bed."
"I'll handle them. You go rest," Jesse said, concerned. "Ms. James, get some sleep so you can deal with Mr. Clemens tonight!"
"I can't sleep," Sadie muttered, full of worries. "Jesse, can you replace out where Micah is now? I wanna see if I can replace him sooner."
"Okay," Jesse handed the kids over to Annika and Arya and went to check it out.
Sadie went back to her room, took a shower, and changed into comfy clothes. As she lay on the bed, she tried calling Micah again, hoping he'd pick up.
But again, nothing. Frustration bubbled up inside her. Why was Micah playing this hide-and-seek game? Couldn't they just talk like grown-ups?
