Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1317 Enjoy the Present

"Sadie." Joe grabbed her hand, his eyes all teary and desperate. "Even if you don't love me, just stay with me. I need to see you every day. Please, just be with me." Sadie looked at him, his pleading eyes making her feel all twisted inside. She had hoped he'd move on with time, but clearly, his feelings were still as strong as ever. "Sadie, come back to me, I beg you," Joe's voice cracked as he pulled her into a tight hug, almost suffocating her.

She didn't fight back, knowing it would only make things worse. As she stood there, a black Rolls-Royce drove by, and through the tinted window, she locked eyes with Micah. His cold, angry stare sent chills down her spine. Instinctively, she pushed Joe away.

By then, the cars had already passed each other.

"Sadie." Joe tried to hug her again, but she frowned and said firmly, "Joe, if you keep this up, I'm getting out of the car."

Joe's hand froze mid-air, not wanting to push her further.

Sadie rolled up the car window, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself. Micah must have seen everything. What would he think of her now? But she told herself it didn't matter. Let him think what he wanted. "Sadie, what will it take for you to come back to me?" Joe's voice was filled with sorrow. "I really can't live without you."

"Joe, you need to grow up," Sadie said gently but firmly. "No one can't live without someone else. Not every love story has a happy ending. If we break up, it doesn't mean we can't be friends. You don't have to be so obsessed." "I've tried," Joe said painfully, "But I can't do it."

"You can," Sadie tried to comfort him. "You should go out more, make new friends, meet some great girls. That way, you won't focus all your attention on me."

"There's no one better than you," Joe replied stubbornly. "I only love you."

Sadie sighed, feeling at a loss for words. Silence filled the car, a heavy blanket of unresolved emotions.

Back in Micah's car, Andrew glanced nervously at him. "It must be Joe pestering Ms. James again," he said quickly, trying to defuse the tension. "He's been harassing her, even found his way to Hillside Villa. She probably had no choice but to get in his car."

"You're very noisy," Micah said, his voice cold and detached, though Andrew could see the turmoil in his eyes.

Andrew shut his mouth, worried. Keeping everything bottled up was not healthy.

Just then, Andrew's phone rang. It was a call from Olivia. He quickly answered, "Hello, Ms. Graham!"

"I sent a text to Mr. Clemens, but he didn't reply, so I called you." Olivia's voice was very gentle, "I want to invite him to dinner, does he have time?"

"Uh, well..." Andrew hesitated, looking at Micah.

Micah directly took his phone and said to Olivia, "Send me the address."

"Okay, I'll send it right away." Olivia was very happy.

After hanging up, Micah ordered, "To the restaurant."

"Yes, sir," the driver responded, turning the car around.

Andrew could sense Micah was doing this out of spite. But what could he do? He just hoped it would lighten Micah's mood, even if only temporarily. His health was deteriorating, and continued stress would only make things worse. Sadie always seemed to bring out his anger, while Olivia brought a soothing presence. Maybe this wasn't such a bad thing. Since there was no clear future in sight, perhaps it was best to simply enjoy the present.
