Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1277 Irreconcilable

"But..." Jesse hesitated.

"No buts, it's settled," Sadie cut him off, laying down the law. "Once we touch down, you take the seven of them back to Country E. If there's any news about Tristan, you hit me up ASAP." "I'll wait till you all are settled before I bounce," Jesse replied, worry etched on his face. "You've ditched your own kids to look after Mr. James's three. I can't just leave you hanging." "I'm not that noble," Sadie chuckled. "Given the mess we're in, the kids are safer with Micah than with me. I'm just playing the long game."

"But without us, you could go back to the Clemens Family. It'd be safer, and you could be with your kids again," Jesse said earnestly.

Jesse knew Sadie was really protecting these three kids for Tristan, just like Eleanor had done for him back in the day.

"Alright, enough with the mushy stuff," Sadie switched gears. "It's already dawn. You all should catch some Z's. There's a ton to do once we land."

"Okay," Jesse stood up, gave Sadie a quick salute, and headed back to his seat.

Sadie stared out at the clouds, feeling all kinds of mixed up. She never thought she'd end up back at square one.

"Ms. James," Annika said, handing Sadie a cup of hot tea. "Don't stress; this too shall pass. You're not the same person you used to be. Once we get through this, we'll be back on top."

"Back on top," Sadie echoed with a bitter smile. "Sure, the assets Tristan left me are enough to build my career, but..." She looked down at the tea, her voice breaking, "I'd trade it all just to have Tristan alive!" She used to feel only awe and gratitude toward Tristan, no sibling love.

So, when she reunited with the kids, all she could think of was Tristan's ruthlessness, his cold-blooded nature, and his heartlessness, unable to grasp this family bond.

When Tristan questioned her, she could only use leaving the James Family as her shield. She thought Tristan would never accept her kids; he might even harm them.

Later, she realized that beneath his icy exterior was a heart full of deep emotions. His coldness was for strangers; once someone became family, he'd protect them with his life. Though his words to his family were often harsh, his actions were always warm and caring.

And Sadie was slow to catch on, needing to go through a lot to understand Tristan's good intentions.

"Mr. James will be fine," Annika's eyes welled up, her voice trembling. "I just know he's still alive, definitely alive."

"Yeah, I think so too," Sadie took a deep breath, steadying herself. She said calmly, "So, we just need to wait for him patiently."

"Yes, yes," Annika nodded vigorously. "But Ms. James, are you really not going back to the Clemens family? What about Noah, Nathan, and Mia?"

"Biston's right next to Newark. I can visit them often," Sadie felt a pang of guilt thinking about her three kids. She murmured, "I hope they won't hate me."

"Why not live in Newark?" Annika asked, puzzled. "Wouldn't it be better to be closer? The six kids could hang out and play together."

"Since things can't go back to the way they were, it's better to keep some distance," Sadie said with a bitter smile. "No matter what happens to the James Group, I can't go back to the Clemens Family. Besides, before Tristan's accident, he warned me to stay away from Micah."

"Alright," Annika nodded reluctantly. "The James Family and the Clemens Family are at each other's throats. This feud isn't ending anytime soon." "Irreconcilable..." Sadie muttered, her face suddenly changing. She whispered, "Could Tristan's accident have something to do with the Clemens Family?"
