Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1324 Declaring Dominance

Sadie glanced at her phone and let out a sigh. A dozen missed calls and a flood of messages from Joe. She didn't even bother opening them; she knew the drill-apologies, heartfelt pleas, promises to change, and desperate hopes for getting back together. It was the same old cycle, and she felt stuck. No matter what she said, Joe never seemed to really listen.

Her thoughts were cut off by a call from a number she didn't recognize. The digits looked kinda familiar, so after a moment, she picked up. "Hello?"

"Hello, Ms. James, this is Olivia." Olivia's voice was always so gentle, like she never got mad or upset, always keeping her cool.

Sadie felt a bit uneasy hearing the name but kept her tone polite. "Hey, what's up?"

"I just wanted to check on your injury," Olivia asked, sounding concerned. "There were a lot of people at the restaurant today, and I didn't get a chance to say hi."

"It's nothing serious, just a minor thing," Sadie replied, keeping it polite. "Thanks for asking!"

"Glad to hear that. Take care and get some rest." And with that, Olivia ended the call.

Sadie couldn't quite figure out the motive behind the call. Was it just being polite or something more calculated? Was Olivia subtly marking her territory in Micah's life? Probably. The thought made Sadie uneasy and strengthened her resolve to keep her distance from Micah, who seemed to be Olivia's territory now.

Shoving aside her irritation, Sadie decided it was time to talk to Micah and ask him to leave early. She found him upstairs, deep into storytelling.

"The little prince climbed the snowy mountain, searching for the legendary angel's flower. If he found it, he could save his beloved princess. Even though it was freezing and there were wild beasts, he was brave because he knew his princess was waiting for him in the castle," Micah narrated, his deep voice filling the room.

Six kids, sprawled out in various positions-lying down, leaning on the bed-listened intently to his story.

As they listened, Mia felt something was off and asked, "Daddy, that's not right. I've read this book. The little prince climbed to the moon, not a snowy mountain."

"Yeah, the little prince was looking for a sapphire, not an angel's flower," Mary added.

"And the little prince didn't have a princess," Nathan pouted.

"Just listen to the story. Why do you have so many questions?" Noah cut in, "Dad's version is more interesting."

"Oh!" Nathan and Mia lowered their heads, not daring to say more.

"Keep going," pleaded Mary, Emma, and Donna, their eyes wide with curiosity.

"What did I just say? Hmm?" Micah furrowed his brows, pretending to be serious. "Oh!" Mary, Emma, and Donna exchanged glances and shouted together, "Uncle!"

"That's right, good!" Micah smiled, satisfied. "Alright, it's late. Time to sleep!"

"No, finish the story!" the three little girls chorused, their initial shyness around Micah completely gone.

"Yeah, Daddy, finish the story," Mia also pleaded, resting her chin on her hands. "I've never heard this version. I really want to know the ending."

"Yeah, did the little prince replace the flower?" Nathan asked.

"I'll tell you another day." Micah put down the book and turned off the lamp. "Alright, time to sleep!"
