Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 434 Sleeping in Arms
After gulping down an entire bottle of water, letting out a satisfied belch, and taking a few deep breaths, Sadie felt somewhat revived.
Micah's phone rang, and he answered it with a curt, "Speak!"
"Didn't I already make myself clear? Why do I have to say it a second time?"
"There will be a press conference tomorrow. Have Ryan handle it."
"Right..."
"I'll deal with the other issues. Leave the public appearance to Ryan."
"No more nonsense."
After he finished the call, his phone rang again. This time he answered using the hands-free speaker in the car, "What is it?"
"Mr. Clemensicah, I've looked into it, and this doesn't seem connected to Nick Clemens at all. Their tech people aren't at that level yet to hack our systems." "Look into the James Group."
"The James Group?" Rylan sounded surprised., "They're not easy to investigate, but I'll see what I can do."
"Let me know as soon as you have something."
"Will do."
After ending the call, Amelia called almost immediately, but Micah couldn't be bothered, so he hung up and turned his phone off.
"With you this busy, why do you bother meeting me?" Sadie whispered.
Micah didn't respond and kept driving.
Sadie stopped talking upon realizing he was ignoring her and leaned back in her seat to rest. In no time, she fell asleep.
This time, Micah drove straight to the underground garage of the Cloud Hotel, where the manager was waiting to let them know that everything had been set up as planned.
Micah carried Sadie upstairs. In the elevator, she stirred from her drowsiness, opening her eyes briefly to glance at him. Then, she wrapped her arms around his neck and nestled her face into the crook of his neck, drifting back to sleep.Micah carried Sadie upstairs, and as they were in the elevator, she stirred from her drowse, opened her eyes to glance at him, wrapped her arms around his neck, and nestled her face into the crook of his neck to resume sleeping. Once in the room, Micah placed her on the bed. Seeing her still in her slippers, he shook his head, tossed the slippers into the trash can, and tucked her under the covers.
After taking a shower in the bathroom, he came back to replace Sadie sound asleep, curled up in the sheets like a little shrimp, tightly wrapped into a cuddlesome ball.
Micah sat on the couch beside the bed, sipping the red wine he had poured earlier, lost in quiet contemplation as he gazed at her. His eyes were filled with a medley of thoughts...
He questioned himself about why he felt compelled to see her, especially amidst his busy schedule, yet found no clear answer...
The truth lay in the simple fact that her presence added richness to his life. Without her, meals lacked flavor, sleep eluded him, and an ache of emptiness lingered in his heart. Only in her company did he replace solace...
Even in silence, merely observing her brought him contentment.Micah sat on the couch by the bed, sipping on the red wine he had prepared earlier, quietly contemplating as he gazed at her, his eyes brimming with complex thoughts... He was wondering to himself why he insisted on seeing her despite being incredibly busy. He didn't have an answer...
The fact was, without her, his meals lost their flavor, his sleep wasn't restful, and there was a persistent emptiness in his heart. Only when he saw her did he feel a sense of peace...
Even just sitting there, silently watching her, brought him satisfaction.
Sadie must have been truly exhausted; she slept deeply and sweetly, seemingly oblivious to Micah being right by her side, uninhibited by his presence.
The wine bottle was nearing its end when Micah finally set his glass aside, stood up, and lay down on the bed.
His long arm reached under Sadie's neck, pulling her into his embrace and gently pressing her face against his chest before he settled down, content, to sleep. Sadie, like a slumbering infant, instinctively snuggled closer into his arms like a slumbering infant, her little face burrowing into his neck and, greedily inhaling his scent... Micah was moved by her subconscious little gestures and leaned in to kiss her, but she playfully shook her head, burying her face into his chest, thwarting his kiss.
Resigned, he simply caressed her back gently and closed his eyes to sleep...
His body was restless, his heart ablaze, but he refrained from touching her.
That night, they did nothing more than hold each other as they slept soundly...
In the dead of night, Sadie suddenly woke up, turned over to replace her phone by the pillow, and checked the time. It was still early.
She breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Micah, who was deeply asleep, and couldn't resist gently kissing his closed eyelids. Then, she cautiously shifted his arm, preparing to slip out of bed...She breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Micah, who was sleeping deeply, and couldn't resist kissing his eyes, then cautiously shifted his arm, preparing to get out of bed...
"Where are you going?" Micah pulled her back, holding her even tighter in his embrace.
