Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 432 The Devil Comes Calling
"Very good," Ella said, pleased. "Go change. Starts at 7:00 p.m., a two-hour gig, 2,000 bucks. Do well, and there'll be a steady stream of work for you!" "Thanks, Ella." Overjoyed, Sadie took the evening gown offered by a staff member and urged Serena, "Come join me. Let's do it together."
"I can't..." Serena, looking at her hand, felt dejected. "You go ahead, Sadieis. I've got to hurry to my job at the nightclub Night Club. We'll hang out when we're both free." "Alright then." Sadie hugged her sympathetically. "Find some time, and I'll introduce you to my doctor friend. Maybe your hand can still be fixed." "You think so?" Hope flickered in Serena's eyes.
"How will we know if we don't try?" Sadie said with a smile. "Life's always filled with hope!"
Serena nodded vigorously. "Thanks, SadieSis!"
"Don't mention it. Now, off you go, and keep in touch."
Sadie finished dressing up for her performance, wearing a white mask to keep from being recognized.
The performance went off without a hitch—just a regular wedding with no surprises.
After the show, Sadie collected her money, swapped contact info with Ella, and set up her next gig—a corporate celebration happening tomorrow night! Another two hours, another two grand.
While it wasn't as much as she made at the nightclubNight Club and didn't include any extra earnings, Sadie was quite content with the arrangement. Leaving the hotel, Sadie got a call from the kids saying they were almost home. They asked where she was and mentioned they had brought her some food.
She said she'd be home soon, but as soon as she hung up, she remembered Micah was coming to pick her up at ten. Right now, though, she had no time to deal with him and decided to head home first.
Rushing back, she arrived home by 9:30 p.m. The kids were asking the caregivernurses about their mom's whereabouts.
As the caregivernurses were about to answer, Sadie walked in. The children ran to her excitedly, chattering nonstop, and brought out the takeout they had for her to share.
Hungry because she hadn't eaten dinner, Sadie started devouring her meal.
Seeing her like this, the children couldn't help but feel a pang of distress.
Noah, with a furrow on his little brow, asked softly, "Mommy, didn't you have dinner?"
"No, I went to work as soon as you left," Sadie spoke between bites of steak, "I played the piano, and though it was only for two hours, I made quite a bit of money."
"No matter how busy work is, you can't forget to eat,” Noah said sympathetically.
"Yes, yes, Mommy, you need to eat properly," Mia said while offering Sadie a wet wipe to clean her face.
"I will."
As Sadie continued eating, her phone rang. It was Micah. Seeing his name flashing on the screen made her uneasy, so she quickly flipped the phone face down on the table, not wanting to answer in front of her kids.As Sadie continued to eat, her phone rang.

"Go take your baths and get ready for bed, I'll finish up here," Sadie instructed.
"Okay, Mommy," the kids obediently agreed.
The caregivernurses had the bathwater ready and were waiting for the kids to wash up.
Sadie stepped out onto the balcony and peered down stealthily. Micah's car was parked below, its lights still on, engine running.
She glanced at the time exactly 10:00 p.m.
She hesitated, wondering whether or not to go down to him. If she didn't, he would probably get angry, but with the kids still awake, she had no idea how to explain... "Mommy, what's wrong?" Noah's voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Nothing," Sadie quickly regained her composure and made up an excuse, "A friend dropped by to see me."
"Should we invite him up?" Noah asked considerately.
"No need," Sadie shook her head, "I might have to head downstairs. You guys go ahead and take your baths." "Okay."
