Chapter 291 Chapter 291: "Yay!" Averi squealed in excitement.
A while later, Averi was holding his ice cream as if it were a precious treasure. He savored every lick, and his eyes twinkled with delight.
Sadie's heart was filled with warmth and affection as she watched her son enjoy the simple things in life.
"Mommy, look!" Averi suddenly pointed at the television propped up in the hospital lobby. “Look at that man!" On the screen was the live broadcast of a press conference for the Wall Group. Noah looked as dashing as ever in his tailored suit as he stood on the platform, addressing the media.

They were by the entrance when a sleek, black Maybach pulled up in front of them. Sadie acted on reflex, stepping in front of Averi and blocking him from view.
The car window rolled down to reveal Noah's handsface. The mere sight of him brought all the anger and frustration she felt rising to the surface.

"Get in," Noah ordered in his signature domineering tone.
Sadie gritted her teeth and inhaled sharply. "What do you want from the, e Mr. Wall" She asked icily.
Noah's brows furrowed. He didn't like her attitude at all. "My grandfather tall. e wants you to cover for dinner." Sadie froze. It had been three years. She had no idea how Nigel was doing these days.
The old man had always treated her well and cherished ber likeɓe would his own granddaughter. Sadie felt her heart soften, if only a little.
