Sadie asked Arya to help Hubert with the medication and told Annika to wrap up the Sapphire Depths project. Once everything was set, she went to see Joe.


    Joe had showered, changed intofy clothes, and was lounging on the sofa, sipping a drink and checking emails. Sadie knocked and walked in, and Joe''s face lit up. "Sadie, you''re done with work." "Yeah." Sadie ced some pastries and snacks on the coffee table. "Have some snacks; dinner will be ready in an hour."


    "Thanks." Joe was touched by her thoughtfulness and quickly pulled out a fancy jewelry box. "Sadie, see if you like this."


    "A ne?" Sadie smiled. Joe loved buying her expensive nes, and her jewelry cab was already packed with the ones he''d given her.


    "Yeah, open it," Joe said mysteriously.


    Sadie didn''t expect much and slowly opened the box. She was stunned. It was the sapphire ne Eleanor had left her. Seven years ago, after Edmond''s ident, she sold it to make ends meet. She had mentioned it to Micah, and he had called her foolish. She never thought she''d see it again.


    "I tried everything, searched all the major underground markets, and even bribed people in the jewelry trade. Finally, I found it at a small auction in Country C. It''s destiny," Joe exined with a smile. "I heard this was your mom''s keepsake. Now it''s back where it belongs!"


    "How did you know?" Sadie was surprised; she had never told him about it.


    "I saw a photo in Tristan''s office, a picture of him with Eleanor. She was wearing this ne," Joe exined. "I remembered Micah had a ruby ne that looked a lot like this one, so I talked to Tristan. He said the sapphire ne Eleanor left you was sold at a low price, and he had been looking for it."


    "I see." Sadie sighed. "Tristan seems cold and ruthless, but I didn''t expect him to be so sentimental."


    "Huh? Aren''t you supposed to praise me?" Joe felt a bit disappointed. "I was the one who found the ne."


    "Thank you." Sadie smiled at him. "You were very thoughtful!"


    "You''re wee. Seeing you smile makes me happy." Joe smiled. "Sadie, believe me. I will make you happy!" Hearing this, Sadie fell silent. She looked at the ne in her hand, feeling a mix of emotions.


    "What''s wrong? Aren''t you happy?" Joe looked at her anxiously. "Do you not like me?"


    "Joe," Sadie thought for a moment and said seriously. "Do you know about me and Micah?"


    "I know." Joe nodded slightly. "At first, I didn''t know and foolishly talked to him about you. He didn''t tell me either. I just found it strange why he always seemed toe between us and disrupt our rtionship. Now I finally understand. You are the mother of his children! But Tristan said you two have broken up and that you won''t be together. Is that true?"


    "Yes." Sadie nodded and sighed. "Micah and I can''t go back to the way things were."


    Joe sighed. "Actually, Micah loves you very much. When you had your ident two years ago, he was devastated. I''ve never seen him so heartbroken. If it weren''t for the kids and his responsibilities, he might not have made it through."
