NovelEnglishChapter 436 Chapter 436: Samuel took a cautious step toward the desk, his voice hushed.
"Mr. Wall..." Noah leaned back in his leather chair, his fingers tented in front of him, his eyes still fixed on the closed door.
The look on his face made Samuel hesitate.
"The toys..." he tried again, his voice barely above a whisper.

The office was eerily silent, broken only by the muffled rustling as Samuel gathered the toys into a neat pile. Not once did Noah take his gaze off the door. His mind kept replaying Sadie's figure as she walked out—her straight back, her resolute stride.
He had thought he could make amends. Clearly, he was wrong.
Noah's hands clenched into fists so tight his knuckles turned white and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.

"Yes, Mr. Wall?" Samuel stood up and dusted off his trousers.

"Actually, Mr. Wall... well, I heard from Breck that next Monday is Parents' Day at Sunshine Kindergarten. It's when parents take their kids to kindergarten and stay for the day." Samuel's tone was cautious. Judging by Noah's mood, he knew he needed to tread carefully.

He made quick work of packing up the toys, then quietly exited the office.
The moment he stepped into the reception area, he let out a long,m heavy breath. It felt like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. But then a thought struck him. There was a problem.
Samuel hesitated, debating with himself for a moment before finally knocking on the office door again and stepping inside. "Excuse me, Mr. Wall..." "What is it now?" Noah asked impatiently.
"Next Monday is also Miss Wade's birthday," Samuel said then held his breath, bracing for the response. A heavy silence fell over the room, thick with unspoken tension.
