Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 246 A Man of Noble Character

Finally, she saw her long-missed children at the restaurant...

Sadie squatted down, opening her arms and calling out, "Noah, Nathan, Mia..." "Miss, little..."

Brenda's words were cut off by the children's chorus of "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!"

Little Mia, with her short legs, ran excitedly and flung herself into Sadie's arms, toppling her over.

Sadie's bottom hurt from the fall, yet she laughed through tears, "Good girl, Mia, Mommy loves you!" "Mommy, Mia loves you too, mwaa~"

Mia puckered her lips and planted a strong kiss on Sadie's cheek.

"Mommy, Mommy, Nathan missed you so much!" Nathan squeezed into Sadie's embrace, one hand around her neck and the other clenched in a fist to show off his strength. "Mommy, Nathan's been practicing his boxing every day so I can protect you!"

"Mommy..." Noah, usually mature and steady, also longed for a hug. Seeing no space to squeeze in, he felt disappointed.

"Noah, come here!"

Sadie stretched out her arms, drawing all three kids close and kissing each one on the forehead. "Mommy's sorry for not being there for you lately. But now, we can be together every day again." "That's awesome! Yay!!!"

The children cheered and clung to Sadie, unwilling to let go.

Brenda watched from the side, wiping away tears.

Lost in the warmth of family love, Sadie had forgotten someone else was present.

Brenda softly reminded her, "Miss, Mr. Chase is still here."

Sadie was jolted back to reality and looked up at Mason, who stood quietly at the entrance with a gentle smile on his face and a hint of tender emotion in his eyes.

"Go ahead to the private dining area and order some food, kids. Mommy will join you after saying a few words with Mr. Clark," Sadie said, patting the backs of her three children.

The kids nodded obediently and greeted Mason, "Thank you for looking after us these past few days, Mr. Clark."

"Mr. Clark, we're gonna grab a bite now. See you in a bit!"

"See you soon!"

Mason waved back, his smile exuding warmth.

The restaurant had been entirely reserved. Aside from a few essential waitstaff lingering at a distance, only Sadie and Mason remained. "You don't look so good," said Mason, reaching out to touch Sadie's cheek.

Sadie instinctively dodged his touch; her body, seemingly cursed by Micah's threats, naturally recoiled from the closeness of any other man. His hand froze mid-air, a mix of embarrassment and disappointment on his face.

"Sorry, Mason," Sadie apologized sincerely. "I've put you through a lot. Has Micah given you or your family any trouble?"

"None," Mason's face turned somber. "The Blackwells have no business with him. He can't trouble us. Besides, I've done nothing to offend him." Sadie opened her mouth, struggling to speak.

She didn't know how to tell Mason about the lie. She felt guilty for seemingly dragging him into this mess.

"Let's sit down and talk," Mason ushered Sadie to take a seat. "What's really going on between you and Micah?"

"I don't know how to tell you..." Sadie hesitated.

"Who is the father of the children?" Mason asked softly.

Sadie was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and then looked up, "Mason, I'm sorry..."

"Spit it out. What's going on?" Mason urged, anxiety creeping into his voice.

"You'd better not know too much about it," Sadie said with a furrowed brow, the gravity in her voice. "I don't want to drag you into this."
