Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 402 Almost Gave It Away

"Grandpa, thank you..." Noah's eyes brimmed with tears of gratitude. "How did you know this is what I wanted most?"

"Of course, I knew," Micah's grandfather said with tender affection. Your thirst for knowledge and power resembles my grandson's when he was little! Toys and gifts are never enough for you. You were both extraordinary children from the start What you really want is to stand at the top of the world and be a king!"

Micah's grandfather thought of Micah with a proud and arrogant gleam in his eye.

Yet, in a flash, his mood soured...

Micah had made him so angry yesterday that he felt his blood pressure skyrocketing. Only by visiting his three grandchildren today did his mood start to lift.

"Grandpa, you're so good to me. I'll make sure to repay you someday."

Noah sniffled, his eyes welling up with moved tears. To him, Micah's grandfather understood him better than anyone else in the world.

Mia sat in the backseat, absorbed in her Barbie game when a sudden thought struck her. Tilting her tiny head, she pouted and reminded, "Noah, shouldn't we call Mommy? Otherwise, she won't know we went out with Grandpa, and she'll worry."

"Right, I'll call Mommy right away."

Noah used his watch to dial Sadie's number...

Sitting beside a trash can, Sadie was startled and scrambled to silence her ringing phone before answering the call. She quickly covered the mouthpiece with her hand and whispered, "Hello?"

"Mommy, Grandpa came to take us to the fairytale castle, so you don't have to wait for us for dinner," Noah's obedient voice came through.

"Alright..." As Sadie spoke, a car horn sounded in the background.

Noah paused when he heard the noise on the phone.

Micah's grandfather also heard it because the watch he was using was on speaker.

"Is your mommy nearby?" Micah's grandfather asked curiously. "Did she come to pick you up?"

"Mommy, are you here?"

Noah looked out the car window, lifting his hand to bring the watch closer to his ear while turning down the volume.

"No, I'm on the road..." Sadie said in a fluster, "Okay, Noah, you go eat with Grandpa. Mommy is busy right now, we'll talk at home, bye."

With that, Sadie hastily hung up the call...

Sadie rubbed her troubled forehead. She had never been one to lie, and her story from earlier was riddled with holes, seemingly destined to unravel. She pondered whether her bluff had been exposed... 'No, the phone watch must have been on speaker.

'Oh no! Could Micah's grandfather have overheard?'

Sadie slapped herself on the face and mentally berated her own stupidity.

"Did you see your mommy?" Micah's grandfather asked, peering out the window.

"No," Noah replied, his gaze resting briefly on a pair of small white shoes sticking out from behind a trash can on the curb. But he didn't blow the cover and instead calmly drew the curtains and sat back down. "She's probably on her way from work. Could be stuck in traffic," he said.

"Yeah," Micah's grandfather nodded, not thinking too much about it. "We're caught in traffic over here too."

"It's all clear now, sir," Silas chimed in.

The car began to move and slowly made its way out.

With the extended Rolls Royce finally gone, Sadie stood up and took a deep breath of relief.

She had returned from Jonathan and had intended to pick up the kids for a meal-she hadn't expected to run into Micah's grandfather. Hopefully, her cover hadn't been blown. Fortunately, Noah had called in. He was so clever he'd surely find a way to manage the situation.

Surely, Micah's grandfather wouldn't suspect a three-year-old's words!

With that thought, Sadie relaxed and headed to the nearby subway station to go home.

On the way, she mulled over the forty-plus resumes she had posted online in the last few days, trying to find temporary work, but no one had responded.

She knew that many companies needed long-term commitment, so she targeted temporary positions but did not receive a reply.

Was finding a job really that tough these days?
