Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1216 There's Nothing to Explain

After two months of not seeing him, Micah looked like a whole new dude.

He'd dropped a noticeable amount of weight, and the lines of his once handsome face, neck, and Adam's apple were way more defined now. Even his beautiful hands showed more pronounced joints. His eyes were sunken deep, carrying a hint of sadness.

His hair had grown out and was styled meticulously, giving him a wild, mysterious vibe.

But to Sadie, it was all just heartbreaking. Especially that pained look on his face, which made her feel super guilty.

When Micah glanced up at her, Sadie quickly looked away, not wanting him to catch her staring.

In a flash, Sadie distanced herself, ignoring his gaze, lowering her eyes, and slowly walking over.

"Sadie, you're here. Great, go ahead and explain things to Mr. Clemens," Amanda quickly piped up when she saw Sadie arrive. "He might have some misunderstandings about Joe, or maybe he's just been too busy to catch the news and doesn't know you and Joe are engaged. He still thinks Joe offended you and is here to hold Joe accountable!"

"Mom," Joe softly urged Amanda, "Please step out. We'll talk to Micah ourselves. You don't need to be here."

"What's the rush?" Amanda glared at Joe and, in a hostess tone, said to Micah, "Mr. Clemens, welcome to the estate. You and Joe are good friends, and I'm happy to see you. I sincerely invite you to stay a few more days and attend Joe's wedding!"

Even though her words seemed polite, they had a hint of provocation and challenge.

"Mom, stop it." Joe nervously glanced at Micah and hurriedly pushed Amanda out.

"Why are you pushing me?" Amanda whined, seeing that Micah had no reaction, she got even more arrogant. "This is my house. As the hostess, is it wrong for me to welcome him?"

"Stop it." Joe coaxed and pushed Amanda out of the study.

In the reception room, Sadie could feel the hidden tension in the air. Micah hadn't lost his temper earlier, not because he had a good temper, but because he didn't care about Amanda's words. He only cared about Sadie.

"I'm waiting for your explanation," Micah spoke, his voice low and hoarse. He looked at Sadie with a complex expression, hoping for her answer. No matter what she said, he would believe her. He'd rather believe her words than his own eyes. "There's nothing to explain." Sadie didn't dare to look at him, lowering her eyes and coldly saying, "We have nothing to do with each other anymore. What I do is none of your business."

This sentence was a thousand times more hurtful than Amanda's earlier provocation.

No matter what outsiders said, Micah could ignore it, but Sadie was different.

Every word she said was like a knife stabbing into his heart.

"So," Micah slowly began, questioning each word, "last night, you and Joe really..."

He couldn't finish the sentence. Just the thought of that scene was enough to make his heart ache unbearably.

The air seemed to grow colder, and the large study fell silent.

Sadie kept her head down, her hands nervously clutching her dress. She was very confused and didn't know how to answer him. She wanted to say no, but she wasn't even sure herself. She wanted to say she didn't know what happened last night, but she felt it would sound like a joke, and he wouldn't believe her.

"Speak!" Micah suddenly shouted in anger, barely able to control his emotions.

The shout startled Joe. He had just pushed Amanda out the door and was about to return when he heard the shout and shivered. "Joe." Amanda hurriedly handed something to Joe. "Protect yourself!" she cautioned before leaving.
