"It''s nothing..." Ss'' feelings were mixed as he looked at the three children, his mind racing with a bold guess, "What''s your dad''s name?"
He never imagined Sadie had kids. But could these three children be Micah''s own flesh and blood? If so, why would Micah treat them so coldly, with such a sense of distance? Moreover, they appeared frightened of Micah. However, if they weren''t, considering Micah''s typical inability to tolerate others, how could he ept them?He never imagined that Sadie had kids.

Yet if they weren''t, given Micah''s usual inability to tolerate others, how could he ept them?
"I... I don''t know," Mia murmured, her head lowered, tears streaming down her cheeks. She felt a pang of hurt every time someone asked about her father. She feared being ridiculed for not having a father."I... I don''t know..." Mia lowered her head, tears streaming down, feeling hurt every time someone asked about the name of their daddy. She feared beingughed at for being a child without a father.
"Ss, why are you asking this?" Nathan frowned unhappily., "Do you, like everyone else, think that because we only have Mommy and no Daddy, we''re iplete?"
"No, no, no, I didn''t mean that at all!" Ss hurriedly exined, "ISs just thought your dad might be someone I know, that''s why Ihe asked. ISs was wrong and; Ss apologizes to you! Sorry, can you please not be mad at mess?" "Okay, I forgive you." Children weare always simple, so Nathan epted his apology right away.
"Ss, about the topic of Daddy, please don''t bring it up again," Noah said seriously, "We only have Mommy."
"Alright, I understand." Ss felt guilty, realizing he had inadvertently touched the children''s fragile hearts.
"I''m going to send someone to protect your mMommy right now, don''t worry." Ss promptly made arrangements while pondering the identity of the children''s father. Yet, he knew this wasn''t the moment to dwell on it.Ss immediately made arrangements and at the same time pondered who the children''s father could be. However, now wasn''t the time to dwell on it.
Because of thean incident at the house on Blissful Lane 1, Ss didn''t take the three little ones home but instead brought them to Micah''s grandfatherGrandpa''s French garden vi in the northern suburbs.
The children''s clothes and belongings were all purchased new, and three doctors and nurses, Athena, Cam, and Sienna, came along to take care of them.
After settling everything, Ss rushed to the hospital. Before he left, he specifically instructed the staff to take good care of the children.
The staff, having met the children on a prior visit and knowing how much Micah''s grandfatherGrandpa valued them, naturally did not dare to neglect them.
Ss instructed the children to stay put and assured them they could bide their time without worry. If they got bored, they could ask the staff to take them for a stroll in the garden, or they could go horseback riding or swimming. All they needed to do was to let the housekeeper Brenda know about their ns.
However, the children''s main concern was the safety of Sadie.
Ss promised them he would contact Sadie as soon as possible and make sure she was brought to safety.
The children were then able to rx.
Once Ss got in the car, he contemted calling Micah to discuss Sadie''s situation. But then, he considered that Micah might have intentionally kept Sadie''s rtionship with the children a secret, and it would be better not to reveal anything at this juncture.
He decided to wait until Micah''s grandfatherGrandpa woke up to settle everything.
Meanwhile, in a Rolls-Royce Phantom...,
Micah was on the phone with Nick.
It took a long time for Nick to answer, and when he did, his voice came outzily.waszy, "Hello?"
"What are you trying to do?" Micah demanded, struggling to contain his anger. "Sadie has nothing to do with our dispute. Why did you take her?"
"I can''t see FatherGrandpa because of you, so I had to resort to this," Nick said with a tone of helplessness. "Even though he passed the inheritance to you, the rest of the assets haven''t been willed yet. You have no right to keep me from seeing him!"
"So, you can hardly wait for Grandpa to pass, is that it?" Micah retorted coldly. "Uncle Nick, you already have plenty. Don''t get too greedy."
"How ridiculous," Nick scoffed mockingly. "All of this should have been mine!"
"Your father passed away early, and I''ve been managing everything in the family. I deserve credit and have borne much hardship, and just because I''m a daughter, yet FatherGrandpa would rather pass the inheritance to you—an immature brat than to me. Why?!"
