Ss finished recounting the entire incident and sighed. "If you think about it carefully, Miss Roth has raised the kids exceptionally well and is highly regarded by Micah. It indicates that her character isn''t an issue. In addition, she has consistently kept the children''s true parentage hidden and discouraged them from acknowledging their rtives. She likely isn''t someone driven by vanity." "Why are you speaking up for her?" Grandpa Clemens red at Ss, displeased.


    "No, I''m just stating a fact." Ss smiled. "From childhood to adulthood, Micah has always been cold and indifferent. When have you seen him so obsessed and devoted to someone?" "That''s true." Grandpa Clemens nodded.


    "Mainly because the three children are so adorable." Ss persuaded, "And they have a deep bond with their mother. If you send their mother away as you said, the children will probably hate you." Upon hearing these words, Grandpa Clemens fell silent.


    Micah returned home with the three children to find Brenda had already prepared a sumptuous dinner.


    Sadie, d infortable home attire, sat on the sofa, holding a magazine, lost in thought.


    Hearing the sound of a car outside, the housekeepers hurried out to greet them.


    Brenda reminded, "Miss, they''re back."


    Sadie put down the magazine and got up to follow Brenda out.


    "Brenda, Mommy..."


    The children got out of the car and happily rushed into Sadie''s arms.


    Sadie squatted down, opened her arms, and weed the children.


    When their chubby little faces pressed against Sadie''s neck and the sweet scent of milk lingered in the air, Sadie smiled with happiness once again.


    The children could cure Sadie''s troubles.


    "Be careful! Don''t knock Mommy over," Micah gently reminded.


    "Mommy, Mia missed you so much." Mia''s tender little face rubbed against Sadie''s. "Did you miss Mia?"


    "Yes!" Sadie kissed Mia''s cheek.


    "Mommy, and me too!" Nathan and Noah immediately pressed their faces together.


    Sadie kissed them both on their faces.


    "And me too, and me too!" Coco also brought its furry little head over.


    Sadie kissed it, too, and then stood up. Micah was about to approach, but Sadie took the children straight into the house without paying any attention to Micah at all. Micah stood still, bewildered. ''What is going on?''


    "Dinner is ready. I made Caesar sd, French onion soup, slow-cooked ribs, Florentine-style roasted chicken, strawberry cake, French dessert tter..." Brenda greeted the children at the table while introducing the dinner menu. Brenda also smiled at Micah and said, "Of course, there''s a French feast that Mr. Clemens loves, and oh, Miss, your wine is awake!"


    "Thank you."


    Micah thanked Brenda before turning his attention to Sadie. However, she didn''t acknowledge him, engrossed in conversation with the children, asking about their day.


    Micah was puzzled. Was Sadie doing this on purpose or unintentionally?


    "Daddy, can we start eating?" Mia''s naive voice came.


    Micah snapped back to his thoughts, nodded, and said, "Yeah, let''s eat!"


    "Brenda, eat. Daddy, eat. Mommy, eat!"


    The three children politely greeted their elders and began to eat.


    Sadie bowed her head silently and ate, asionally interacting with the children.


    Micah picked up a piece of fish for her, and Sadie softly said, "Thank you," without even looking at him.


    Finally, Micah could confirm that she was intentionally ignoring him.


    But why?


    Micah needed help understanding...


    After dinner, the children mored to have Mommy and Daddy take them to the garden to y.


    Sadie initially agreed, but as she turned to put on her coat, a wave of pain shot through her arm once more. Hurriedly, she headed to the bathroom...
