Arya snagged a bunch of cars, each one costing a small fortune. Sadie gave Rn a quick thanks, and he bounced with his crew.


    Annika had some of herdy bodyguards get the kids settled for dinner and bed while the rest cleaned up the yard.


    The vi was all set up with furniture and gadgets. It was smaller and simpler than their old ce, but the good vibes made it feel cozy and homey.


    Sadie ditched her fancy dress for somefy casuals. Under the night lights, she fussed over the goldfish pond and nts in the yard.


    The kids were running around, having a st. Arya was busy organizing stuff, and Annika and Jessica hung out with Sadie.


    Life was pretty chill andfy these days.


    As it gotter, the kids started to crash, and a few bodyguards took them upstairs to bed.


    Sadie put the new goldfish into the pond. Watching them swim around, she grinned. She then asked Arya to amp up the lighting and got back to tending the nts in the corner.


    "Let''s do it tomorrow. It''ste. Aren''t you tired?" Annika asked, looking worried.


    "I can''t sleep anyway. Keeping busy makes me feel good." Sadie replied with a smile. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and kept working on the nts.


    "Let me help you," Annika said, crouching down to lend a hand.


    "No need," Sadie stopped her right away. "These nts need special care."


    "I feel bad seeing you do all this alone," Annika said softly, wiping Sadie''s sweat.


    "This isn''t work; it''s my chill time," Sadie said, turning the soil. "Hit up Pa and find out where Hubert is. If he''s still in Newark, we''ll drop by in a couple of days." "Got it, I''ll call her now," Annika said and went to make the call.


    "Ms. James..." Arya walked over, looking hesitant.


    "There are enough people here; one less won''t matter," Sadie said, knowing what Arya wanted. "But be back by 1 AM, noter."


    "Thank you, Ms. James!" Arya said, super excited.


    After buying the car, Rodolfo had been waiting for Arya by the roadside.


    Arya didn''t dare ask for time off, but Sadie had already thought of it and gave her the night off.


    "Aren''t you going?" Sadie nced at her and said, "Go change into something nice."


    "I already look good like this," Arya said and dashed off, humming a tune.


    Annika came out and saw Arya running off, teasing, "I''ve never seen her move that fast, not even in a fight."


    "That''s love for you," Sadieughed. Seeing Arya and Rodolfo so happy together made her feel warm inside.


    "I''m so jealous of them," Annika sighed.


    Sadie noticed Annika''s disappointment and smiled, "Andrew''s more of a thinker, not as spontaneous as Rodolfo. But that doesn''t mean he doesn''t care about you. I can tell he does." "Please don''t tease me," Annika said, a bit embarrassed.


    "When things settle down, I''ll let you two have some freedom," Sadie said with a sigh. "You''ve been with the James family for so long; you deserve your own life."


    "Ms. James..." Annika said anxiously, "I don''t want to leave; I want to stay with you."


    "I''m not letting you go now, of course," Sadie chuckled. "You two are my best assistants. If you left now, I''d be lost. I mean in the future."


    "Even in the future, I won''t leave. Wherever you go, I''ll go," Annika said, her eyes tearing up. "I won''t leave you ever."


    "Silly girl," Sadie muttered, touched. She''d been feeling pretty losttely, but having them around was afort.
