Chapter 572
“I’m only looking out for your future. If you bring nothing of value to our family, then what good are you?”
Vivi stood frozen, consumed by hopelessness.
After the banquet, Sadie had no intention of lingering—her mind was occupied with thoughts of Averi.
She changed out of her formal gown into something more relaxed and stepped outside the hotel alone.
The evening air carried a slight chill, prompting her to pull her coat tighter as she waited by the roadside to flag down a taxi. A short distance away, Alex’s vehicle came to a slow stop.
He lowered the window, his gaze settling on Sadie with a trace of concern, about to speak.
Just then, a sleek black Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up in front of her. The headlights dimmed, and the door swung open, revealing Noah’s tall, poised figure.
Alex’s expression darkened instantly, his fingers clenching around the steering wheel.
He stared at Sadie, emotions swirling in his eyes.
Once again, he was a step too late.
“Get in,” Noah instructed, his deep voice calm and unreadable.
Sadie hesitated, caught off guard by his unexpected arrival.
“Why are you here?” she asked.
Before he could respond, a cheerful voice rang out from inside the car, brimming with excitement.
“Mommy!”
Sadie turned toward the sound, her eyes widening as she spotted Averi in the back seat, his face lighting up with pure joy.

“Averi? What are you doing here?” she asked, both surprised and delighted as she moved closer.
“I missed you, Mommy.” Averi pouted, his voice endearing. “I wanted to have a meal with you, so I asked Mr. Wall to bring me here.”
He still called Noah “Mr. Wall.”
Sadie’s heart warmed at his words. She reached out to stroke his soft hair, her voice gentle. “Alright, let’s go eat something together.” She turned her gaze to Noah, seeking confirmation.
He gave a slight nod, signaling his agreement.
Without hesitation, Sadie climbed into the car, cradling Averi in her arms.
As the Rolls-Royce glided away, Alex remained in his car, his face clouded with frustration.
He slammed his fist against the steering wheel, the loud thud echoing in the silent cabin.
Inside Noah’s car, the atmosphere was lighthearted.
“What do you feel like eating, Averi?” Sadie asked, holding her son close.
“Hmm…” Averi tapped his chin, thinking seriously. “I want a burger, fries, and ice cream!”
“Alright, whatever you want,” Sadie replied warmly, her expression full of affection.
Noah observed their interaction through the rearview mirror, a subtle, unreadable smile forming on his lips.
The car pulled into the underground parking lot of a luxury shopping center.noveldrama
