Micah, his back turned to her, offered no response. After a brief pause, he rose and headed to the bathroom.

Sadie pouted and nestled her head back onto the pillow, drifting back into sleep. She remained utterly exhausted and sore, her body feeling fragile as if it might crumble at any moment.

The previous night's lovemaking blurred in her memory, but presently, all she desired was to stay in bed and do nothing at all. Micah, with his back to her, didn't reply; he merely paused for a few seconds, then promptly got up and went to the bathroom.

Pouting, Sadie lay her head back down on the pillow and continued to sleep.

She was still utterly exhausted and sore, her body felt fragile, as if it could fall apart at any moment.

She couldn't recall just how many times they had made love the night before, but right now, all she wanted was to lie in bed and do absolutely nothing.

Micah emerged from the bathroom with the lower half of his body wrapped in a towel, drying his hair with another. He picked up the cell phone from the floor; it was a missed call from Amelia, three missed calls, to be exact.

He tossed his phone aside without even glancing at the several unread messages from Andrew.

Looking up, he saw Sadie had fallen asleep again, which made his blood boil.

When he asked if she loved him, she couldn't answer.

How could she still sleep now?!

Micah walked over, yanked the covers off, and slapped her butt hard.

"Ah!" Sadie yelped, turning over with a pitiful look., "What are you doing?"

"Heartless creature," Micah growled, pinching her face.

"I'm so tired..." Sadie pushed his hand away, clinging to the pillow., "I want to sleep more."

"No sleep!" Micah ripped the pillow from her grip, seized her wrists above her head, and commanded assertively, "And no more working at the nightclub Night Club, got it?"

"Bro, I've got a family to feed..." Sadie's eyes drooped with exhaustion., "I can't replace another job out there. I have to pay for Brenda's medical bills and support three kids. I need to make money."

"Didn't I give you $2,000,000?" Micah interrogated, "You spent it all already?"

"I took it to..." Sadie almost slipped up but caught herself just in time. "Yeah, it's gone."

"You run out and you don't come to me?" Micah gripped her chin, forcing her to look at him. "Twenty-one days without a call or a text, what's the point of having a phone?"

"I have my pride too." Sadie pouted unhappily. "You got engaged to another woman and kicked me out. How could I shamelessly come back to you?" "Are you jealous? Huh?"

Micah narrowed his eyes, searching for any sign of her love for him.

"It's not jealousy," Sadie retorted stubbornly. "It's about dignity."

Hearing that, Micah felt a pang of discomfort and pushed her away coldly before turning to get dressed.

"You're leaving?" Sadie didn't understand what she did wrong and felt utterly helpless.

Micah calmly buttoned his shirt and ignored her.

"Fine, I'll get up too."

Sadie got out of bed and headed to the wardrobe out of habit, replaceing one filled with clothes suited for her, along with new underwear.

She picked out a set at random, got dressed, and then started looking around the room., "Have you seen my phone?"

Micah still didn't acknowledge her.

Anxious, Sadie headed to the bathroom to look and finally found her phone by the tub.

The phone was quite wet, but thankfully it was waterproof. After drying it off, she swiped the screen and saw several missed calls-two from Serena and the others from Noah, Nathan, and Mia. Glancing at the clock, Sadie realized it was already 11:00 a.m., t

The weekend was there, and she had promised to spend time with her children.

She hurriedly freshened up, quickly slipping on her shoes before tellingHurriedly freshening up, she was slipping on her shoes when she spoke to Micah, "I need to go. Got stuff to take care of at home." "I'll give you a ride," Micah said, putting on his coat.

"No need for that..." Sadie started to decline when Micah grabbed her by the nape and ushered her out of the room.

"Easy!" Sadie frowned and snapped softly, "You're always so rough."

"Zip it!" Micah looped an arm around her shoulder, pulling her close. With the height difference, it was as if he was holding a child...
