Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 248 A Letter

A twinge in her nose brought tears to Sadie's eyes, threatening to spill.

"My gut tells me your choice is probably the wrong one," Mason sighed with a sense of helplessness, "but what can be done? You've always been so stubborn. I have no confidence in convincing you, just like four years ago..." Pausing, forced a self-deprecating smile and continued, "So, I must let you fly free to face the world. One day, after you've tasted life's bitterness, you'll realize I was the best for you."

"When that time comes, turn around, and you'll replace me.

At his words, Sadie could no longer hold back her tears.

She quickly covered her mouth, careful not to let the children in the booth hear, silently crying without making a sound.

"Stop crying, silly," Mason hurried to wipe her tears with a tissue, trying to lighten the mood, "If you cry like this, the kids will think I'm bullying you. I've just managed to build a bond with them these past few days, they've all taken a liking to me, even saying they want to introduce me to your dog Coco..."

"Mommy, Mommy!" The familiar voice interrupted, coming from the doorway.

Sadie quickly dabbed away her tears and turned around. Coco burst through the door, flapping his not-yet-fully-healed wing clumsily, nearly crashing into the chandelier.

"Coco..." Sadie reached out her hand.

Coco landed on her hand, rubbing his fluffy head against her cheek.

As Sadie stroked his wing, she noticed a black and gold ring on his leg marked with a golden 'S' - Micah's insignia.

A shock ran through her, and suddenly she was on edge.

Looking around in a panic, she noticed the Clemens' family car still parked by the curb downstairs. They were reminding her in their own way that she belonged to Micah!

"So this is Coco? Very cute," Mason said, reaching out to stroke Coco's wing.

Coco pecked at him suddenly and flared his wings, staring him down fiercely. Mason hissed in pain, instinctively pulling back his hand.

"Coco, that's rude," Sadie chided sharply.

Coco sulked, hiding his head under his wing, silent.

"Is Coco back? Coco..." Mia's sweet voice wafted from the private room.

"Mia, Mia!" Coco darted off to replace her without hesitation.

"Did you hurt your hand?" Sadie checked Mason's hand, her voice lined with regret. "I'm so sorry, Mason. My Coco can be so impolite. I'll make sure to teach her some manners."

"It's okay, animals can be wary around strangers they're not familiar with." Mason wasn't bothered. "Sadie, what are your plans moving forward? Brenda told me your previous landlord reclaimed the space. Where are the kids staying? Have you found a new place yet?"

"It's all been taken care of," Sadie glanced outside.

Mason followed her gaze and saw the Clemens' family car, his brows furrowing. "Alright, if it's inconvenient, I should head out."

Setting down his coffee, he stood up, reminding her, "My number, Brenda has it. Jot it down and call me anytime if you need anything."

"Take care of yourself, don't worry about me," Sadie replied with a hint of shame.

"Get back what your father left you as soon as you can," Mason added.

Sadie was jolted, shocked. "How do you know about that?"

"He wrote me a letter before... before the incident," Mason sighed, feeling guilty. "I only saw it recently. It's because of that letter I came looking for you!"
