Chapter 149 Fantastic
News
The kindergarten instructors were intrigued by the lively young boy who had recently returned from abroad, eager to uncover more about his unique experiences.
Averi, with his effortless command of a foreign language and his bright, sociable nature, quickly endeared himself to them.
The interview process unfolded without a hitch, and Averi was officially enrolled.
Sadie observed the warmth in Averi’s radiant grin and felt a profound wave of comfort and satisfaction.
Leaving the kindergarten behind, Sadie clasped Averi’s hand as they wandered along the shaded, tree–lined walkways of their community.
Once they stepped inside their home, Averi lifted his small face, gazing up at Sadie with wide eyes. In a soft, melodious voice, he asked, “Mommy, are we staying here now?”
“Yes, this will be our home from now on,” Sadie reassured him, her fingers gently brushing through his hair, her voice both soothing and certain.
Averi’s face lit up with delight, his tiny teeth peeking through as he grinned.
Golden rays of morning light streamed through the translucent curtains.
Sadie stretched languidly before pushing herself upright in bed.
Relocating was far from simple.
She had taken the day off specifically to manage the moving process.
Her first order of business was to contact Carol.
“Carol, I’m moving today. Could you drop by and lend a hand with the packing?”
“Of course, Sadie! I’ll be there right away,” Carol responded with enthusiasm.
Sadie rose, made her way to the window, and drew back the curtains. Sunlight spilled into the room, wrapping it in
warmth.
She exhaled slowly.
A new residence–a blank slate brimming with opportunities.
Sadie headed to Laura’s room, tapping lightly on the door. “Grandma, are you up?”
“Come in,” Laura answered, her voice slightly raspy.
Sadie stepped inside and found Laura sitting upright, a distant look in her eyes.

“We’re moving today!” Sadie informed her.
“Moving? To where?” Laura asked, her brow knitting together in confusion.
“To the new place. It’s more spacious and comfortable,” Sadie explained gently,
“I’m not going,” Laura declared firmly. “I’ve been here for ever–this place means too much to me. I won’t leave.”
Sadie knew Laura well–once she made a decision, changing her mind was nearly impossible.
Having spent decades in the faculty housing, Laura had developed a deep attachment to her surroundings. Asking her to move was no small request.
Though frustrated, Sadie also sympathized with Laura’s reluctance,
For the elderly, familiarity often held more value than anything else.
Taking a measured breath, Sadie softened her tone. “Alright, I understand.”
Laura remained silent.
Sadie stepped out of the room and called Carol once more.
“My grandmother won’t be coming with us for now. Stay here for a few days to look after her. Let me know if anything happens.”
“Understood, Sadie. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her,” Carol assured.
Ending the call, Sadie felt as if a burden had been lifted.
Meanwhile, in the design department of Wall Group, tension hung thick in the air, interrupted only by the rhythmic tapping of keyboards.
Noah emerged from the elevator, his tailored charcoal suit fitting him flawlessly, his imposing presence bringing an abrupt hush to the room.
He swept his gaze over the office, but the person he was searching for was nowhere to be seen.
His brows knitted slightly, and in a crisp tone, he asked, “Where is Sadie?”
Jordyn had been idly pretending to work, but in reality, her thoughts had long since drifted far away.
Noah’s arrival sent a thrill through her.
This was an unexpected stroke of luck!
Kyla was nothing in comparison to Noah. If she could capture Noah’s heart, everything could change.
She immediately abandoned her pretense of working, her heels clicking as she swayed gracefully toward him.
Today, she had deliberately chosen a fitted blush–pink dress that gave her a delicate, alluring look.
Lowering her gaze ever so slightly to highlight her elegant neckline, she spoke in a syrupy voice, feigning shyness. “Mr. Wall, Sadie requested the day off.”
