Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 239 Slipping Up, The Child's Call

Micah's voice was velvety soft, his eyes curving into a gentle arc that only enhanced his charming allure.

For a moment, Sadie was mesmerized by his enchanting demeanor; it seemed more flirtation than threat or command.

She was nearly beguiled until he tightened his grip on her chin just slightly.

That jolted her back to reality, realizing it had been nothing but a devil's temptation...

Her heart raced, skipping a beat, and she involuntarily opened her mouth but found no words.

Was she really going to tell him about the child?

What sort of father would a volatile man like him make if thrust into parenthood so abruptly?

Scenarios flashed through her mind: "You can't solve a simple math problem? Let hunger teach you for three days and nights."

"You got beaten by a teacher? How can you be my son?"

"Crying again? I loathe children's tears. Cry one more time, and I'll seal those lips shut!"

Shivering at the thought, Sadie broke into a cold sweat...

Someone like Micah, who in a fit of anger would lock people away, cast chilling gazes, and ruthlessly eradicate opposition, was utterly unfit for fatherhood. Moreover, he was likely involved in her father's death...

No, she absolutely could not tell him.

But even if she kept silent, he would replace out eventually.

What to do?

What to do?

Frantically grappling with her thoughts, Sadie suddenly panicked as her phone rang. She looked around in distress.

However, Micah, with practiced ease, retrieved her phone from beneath the pillow...

The caller ID showed Mason!

Startled, Sadie reached out for the phone, desperate to answer...

But feeling Micah's icy stare, she hesitated and held back, not daring to pick up.

Micah's slender fingers glided across the screen, answering the call and turning on speakerphone...

With his other hand, he held Sadie's chin, steering her with his gaze to speak up.

"Hello?" Sadie murmured tentatively, voice trembling. Immediately, Mason's voice sounded anxious over the line, "Sadie, where are you? Are you okay?" "Mason, I"

"Mommy, mommy, mommy!"

Sadie's words were abruptly sliced through by the triple cry of her children.

She froze, caught in place.

"Mommy, where are you? Come back, please. Mia misses you so much," Mia sobbed into the phone, tugging at Sadie's heartstrings.

Sadie I to respond, but fear sealed her lips shut.

"Mommy, are you alright? Did some bad guy hurt you? I'll punch them for you!" Nathan's voice came through, bristling with pint-sized bravado as if his tiny fists could reach through the phone, ready to defend her. Sadie's head bowed, lip caught between her teeth, afraid to even breathe.

She felt Micah's piercing gaze on her, eyes almost lethal enough to kill.

"Mommy, why aren't you talking? Did somebody kidnap you? If you've been kidnapped, just um-hm twice."

Noah always had an uncanny knack for thinking things through.

Sadie's heart raced, lodged in her throat, thudding as if it wanted to break the free ...

Micah's eyes narrowed dangerously, coldly fixed on her, like countless sharp arrows threatening to tear her apart... "Mommy, mommy, mommy..."

The kids continued to call out from the other end of the phone.

Then Brenda's voice followed, "Honey, are you okay? Say something, please don't scare us!"

Sadie couldn't utter a word, her body quaking.

Sensing trouble, Mason swiftly ended the call.

Sadie kept her gaze low, not daring to look at Micah, but the chill emanating from him was palpable. She felt as if she might be frozen solid...
