"Morning!" Micah responded, then got up and walked over, wheeling Raymond to the dining table. He said to the kids, "Why didn''t you greet him?" "Good morning, Great-Grandpa," the three children greeted one after another.


    "Good," Raymond replied. He looked a bit worn today, clearly not having slept wellst night. But seeing the children brought a loving smile to his face. However, when he saw Mia, his brow immediately furrowed. "Mia, why are you so thin?"


    "Great Grandpa, I''ve been sick," Mia said weakly, then started coughing.


    "Mia, are you okay?" Sadie gently patted Mia''s back. "It''s windy; let me take you upstairs to rest." Sadie didn''t want to see Raymond and was ready to take Mia upstairs and leave. "Let Reba take her," Micah suddenly said. "Noah, Nathan, you are done eating, right? Go upstairs and keep Miapany."


    "I''m not full yet..." Nathan''s words were cut off by Micah''s look.


    He quickly understood that Micah wanted them to go upstairs, so he grabbed two slices of pizza and followed Reba and Mia upstairs.


    "Mommy." Noah looked at Sadie, worried that she might be bullied.


    "Go on," Sadie gently touched Noah''s head and said softly. "Don''t worry. I''lle get you soon."


    "They..." Raymond was about to speak but swallowed his words when he saw Noah''s sharp gaze.


    "Okay." Noah hugged Sadie and then looked at Micah. "Daddy, do you remember that you promised me you would protect Mommy well two years ago?"


    "I remember." Micah looked deeply at Noah. "Daddy won''t go back on my word. Trust me, okay?"


    Noah was a bit stunned. He rarely saw Micah like this. Though it seemed like a casual remark, his gaze was determined.


    "Okay." Noah decided to trust Micah. "I believe you."


    "Good, you guys go upstairs."


    Micah gave a look at Rn, and Rn took the implication in his eyes and took Noah away, bringing people along to protect the children. Micah turned his gaze from Noah and called out to Nelson and E, "Why are you standing there? Sit down and have breakfast together." "No need." Nelson nced at Sadie and then quickly looked away. "E and I will go back to our room."


    Saying this, Nelson held E''s hand, ready to leave.


    "Sit down," Raymondmanded arrogantly. "This is the Clemens family. You are our esteemed guests; there''s nothing to avoid." "Well..." Nelson looked troubled.


    "Grandpa is right," Micah said politely. "Come on."


    Seeing that Micah was on their side, Nelson immediately became happy. He exchanged a look with E and then sat at the table. "Why are you sitting so far away?" Raymond called out. "Come sit over here."


    Nelson and E moved closer, with Nelson sitting next to Raymond and E next to Micah.


    Sadie lowered her head to drink coffee, saying nothing.


    But her hand holding the cup was tense.


    "Reba, change the tableware and add some more food," Micah instructed. "Yes." Reba immediately arranged it.


    Susan was very angry but had toply.


    Annika saw Micah''s attitude, was furious, and whispered, "Ms. James, let''s go!"


    Sadie put down her cup and looked up at Micah. "I''lle back for the kids in seven days. If anything happens to them while I''m gone, I won''t let you off!" Saying this, she got up to leave.


    "How arrogant!" Raymond said angrily. "Do you think you can just take the kids whenever you want? They belonged to the Clemens family; no one can take them away." "Wait and see," Sadie retorted unceremoniously.
