Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 268 Cherishing the Present
Linda glared at Sadie frostily while speaking to Billy. "Come on, sweetie. Let's get that knee checked out."
"But Grandma " Before he could protest, Linda was already dragging him away.
Billy struggled. "I don't want to see the doctor. I want to play with my friend..."
"Grandma will try to replace other kids for you to play with," Linda coaxed Billy. "Remember how you played with Sophie, little Jake, and the others?" "No, I only want to play with Mia."
Billy tugged at Linda's arm and plopped down on the ground, refusing to budge.
"Why are you being so stubborn?" Linda grew frustrated. "There are plenty of other kids in the world! Why must it be her?"
"I just want to play with Mia! That's all!" Billy was adamant, not moving an inch.
Linda gave a subtle cue, and a bodyguard stepped forward, scooping up Billy and quickly walking away.
"Let me go, let me go—"
Billy's cries and struggles attracted the attention of many onlookers.
Behind Sadie, Mia said timidly, "Poor Billy..."
Sadie couldn't bear to watch but felt helpless as she led Mia away.
"Stop right there!" Linda commanded sharply.
Sadie furrowed her brow and signaled Brenda with a look.
Brenda stepped forward, taking Mia's hand gently: "Come on, honey. I will take you to replace your brothers."
"Oh." Mia gave Sadie a reluctant glance and followed Brenda.
Linda approached, her tone icy as she interrogated, "I hear you've been seeing Micah now?"
"Mrs. Potter, I don't see how that's any of your business."
Seeing Linda again after all these years stirred a whirl of emotions inside Sadie. Back in the glorious days of the Roth family, Linda had been incredibly attentive to her and her father, enthusiastically pushing for her marriage with Ronan. Sadie had once respected this woman and been close to her. But the moment the Roths suffered business setbacks, Linda quickly called off the engagement herself.
She was two-faced, her acting skills Oscar-worthy.
"Quite the act." Linda sneered with a hint of mockery. "I must have underestimated you!"
Sadie didn't want to engage further and turned to leave.
"Your father must be turning in his grave, having a daughter who sides with a traitor!" Linda added in a taunting tone.
Sadie froze, turning back to confront her. "What do you mean by that?"
"It means nothing." Linda's smile held a mocking edge. "Figure it out yourself."
With that, she turned and walked away.
Sadie pondered deeply over Linda's words, her emotions tangled.
Ronan, Felipe, Kathleen-they all hinted in the past that her father's death was connected to Micah. And now Linda's strange remarks... 'Could it be...'
Sadie's heart fluttered with unease, but then the thought struck her they were all against her, wishing she would just disappear. She couldn't trust a word they said. "Mommy!"
Suddenly, the children returned.
Noah held a toy car, his face alight with excitement. "Mommy, I just entered a toy car race over there and won first place! They even gave me this little car as a prize." "Wow! Noah, you're amazing!" Sadie crouched down to give Noah a kiss.
"Mommy, mommy, I climbed to the top of the rock wall! Look what I won!" Nathan held up a large dinosaur plushie triumphantly. "Do you like it?"
"It's awesome, Nathan. You're amazing, too," praised Sadie, wrapping Nathan in a hug.
"Mommy, I didn't win anything..." Mia pouted, her lips quivering a bit.
"It's okay. I'll give you my toy car," Noah offered, passing the car to Mia.
"And you can have my dinosaur," Nathan said, handing over the plushie to her.
"Thanks, brothers!" Mia giggled, holding up a pretty cartoon wallet. "I'll buy you cotton candy!"
"Yay! Thanks Mia..."
Hand in hand, the three siblings went to buy cotton candy.
"Take it easy. Don't trip," Brenda called out with a smile.
A radiant smile spread across Sadie's face as she watched her kids beam with joy. She reminded herself not to overthink and cherish the present moments.
