Chapter 315 Susannah’s Requirement
Susannah was the mistress of the Howe household, and she firmly believed she could handle a single mother.
Despite Alex’s affection for Sadie, she would never consent to their relationship.
But what if Alex persisted? Susannah thought about his obstinacy and began to reconsider.
She exhaled, beginning to devise a strategy.
Maybe a little give–and–take could work for both of them.
If Sadie were willing to let go of her child and become part of the Howe family, it could be possible after all.
The following morning, Sadie was holding a trash bag and Averi’s tiny hand, preparing to take him to the kindergarten.
“Mommy, can I have two ice creams today?” Averi looked up at Sadie with hopeful eyes.
“No, you can have just one, sweetheart,” Sadie answered, playfully squeezing his little nose.
“You’re so mean, Mommy!” Averi pouted.
Sadie laughed softly, saying nothing further.
As they neared the road, an unexpected figure stood in their way.
“Miss Hudson, may we have a word?” Susannah stood next to a black vehicle, addressing Sadie with a polite, yet firm tone.
Sadie was taken aback, not expecting to run into Alex’s mother here.
“Mrs. Howe, what brings you here?” she asked, startled and somewhat uncomfortable.
Averi eyed Susannah curiously, unsure of who the well–dressed woman was.
Susannah’s eyes lingered on Averi briefly before shifting back to Sadie.
“Miss Hudson, I’m here to discuss you and Alex,” she said bluntly.
Sadie’s heart skipped a beat, and she had a strong feeling about Susannah’s intentions.
“Mrs. Howe, I think you’re mistaken. There’s nothing between Mr. Howe and me…” Sadie tried to clarify, but Susannah cut her off.
“You don’t need to explain, Miss Hudson. I’m not here to cause trouble.” Susannah’s voice remained calm, but it carried undeniable authority.
“I just want to make it clear that Alex is my only child, and I want him to be content. However, I cannot approve of your relationship.”

She paused before adding, “Of course, I’m not unreasonable. If you’re willing to part with this child, I might still consider allowing you to marry Alex.”
The impact of Susannah’s words hit Sadie like a shockwave.
Sadie blinked, barely processing what had just been said.
“Mrs. Howe, what did you just say?” she asked, sure she had misunderstood.
“I said, if you’re prepared to let go of this child, I might allow you to marry Alex,” Susannah repeated, her voice even firmer.
Sadie felt a surge of frustration. She clenched her hands, trying to contain her emotions.
“Mrs. Howe, I believe you’re confused. Mr. Howe and I are only friends. As for Averi, he is my world, and there’s no way I
would give him up.”
Susannah’s expression grew more serious; she hadn’t expected Sadie to be so resolute.
