Chapter 302 Cancel All Appointments

Sadie crouched down to look Averi in the eyes. She was holding back her tears as she said, “These toys are great, sweetheart, but we can’t give up our principles for toys. We need our own home. We can’t keep on relying on other people.”

“But I like it here…” Averi whined, his lips pursed into a pout.

Sadie’s heart ached seeing him like this, but she refused to be swayed. “I promise you, okay? I will buy you lots and lots of

toys in the future, even better than these.”

With that, she picked up Averi and carried him to the door.

“Wait, Sadie!” Noah called out frantically after them.

But Sadie ignored him and just kept walking forward.

The office door closed with a loud bang behind her, making Samuel flinch in fright.

Standing just beside the door, he glanced over the scattered toys.

Noah had each toy specifically airlifted from overseas, and every piece of them was just as expensive as the transportation

costs.

Averi had been playing so happily just now, and yet…

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 pinned on the closed door.

The look on his face had Samuel pausing in his tracks.

“The toys…” He tried again, his voice barely above a whisper this time.

“Send them back to Myrtlewood Estate,” Noah said, his low voice laced with exhaustion.

“Yes, Mr. Wall.” Samuel didn’t dare ask any more questions. He quickly got down on his haunches and began to pick up the toys, one by one.

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 closed 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 veins bulged on the back of his hands.

“Samuel,” he finally said after a long while, his voice rough.

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

“Which kindergarten does Averi go to?”

Samuel was visibly surprised; he wasn’t expecting such a question from Noah.

He thought about it for a moment and said carefully, “Well, Averi used to attend one abroad. Since returning to Helva, he’s been attending Sunshine Kindergarten.”

Noah’s brows knitted into a frown.

“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 still wary. Judging by Noah’s mood, he knew he

needed to tread lightly.

Noah tapped his fingers on his desk, and Samuel could almost feel the dull thuds against his own heart.

The air grew thick and heavy with tension.

“Cancel all my appointments for next Monday,” Noah finally said with renewed determination.

“Everything?” Samuel repeated.

In response, Noah turned and gave him a sharp look.

“Got it, Mr. Wall.” Samuel quickly nodded and lowered his head. He silently echoed the word “everything” in his mind.

He made quick work of packing up the toys, then quietly exited the office.

The moment he was out in the reception area, he took a long, deep breath and let it out in a heavy exhale. It was like a weight had finally lifted from his shoulders.

But there was a problem. Samuel took a minute debating against himself, then decided to remind Noah of another

important event on the following Monday.

He knocked on the door and entered. “Excuse me, Mr. Wall…”

“What is it now?” Noah’s asked impatiently.

“Next Monday is also Miss Wade’s birthday,” Samuel said, then held his breath as he waited for his boss‘ response.

A beat of silence fell over the room, and the air was once again crackling with tension.

Samuel’s heart was racing, and he feared it might jump right out of his chest at any second.

“I know,” was all Noah said in the end, his voice icy and emotionless.

Samuel was dumbfounded. Mr. Wall had known? And still, he had ordered him to cancel all his appointments?

“Leave,” Noah barked.

Without another word, Samuel turned on his heel and left. Once he was on the other side, he had to take another deep

breath to settle his nerves before getting on with his tasks.
