Chapter 249 The Best Reward "Sadie eagerly asked, "A letter from my dad to you? "What did it say?"" Mason hesitated, then said lightly, "He just askedto take good care of you, nothing much more... Also, he mentioned he left something for you. If after five years you hadn't sought out Jonathan Chase, he wantedto retrieve it and bring it to you." Hearing this, Sadie's emotions churned, too complex to express.
She never imagined that before her father's untimely passing, he had written Mason a letter.

She was sure that the contents of the box mentioned by Jonathan Chase had nothing to do with her father's sudden death.
So what exactly had her father left her? "Sadie..." Mason's voice broke through her reverie. She snapped back to the present and looked up at him. "Thank you, Mason. You should get going. Take good care of yourself!" "Yeah, goodbye." Mason gave her a lingering look and then turned to leave.
Watching his lean figure disappear, Sadie felt a pang of guilt. She should never have dragged him into this. She hoped that Micah would keep his word and not cause him any trouble.
"Mommy, mommy, mommy..." Mia burst out of the booth with Coco in tow, holding a little cupcake high, "Mommy, this cupcake is so yummy, you have to try it." "Wow, it looks amazing." Sadie knelt down to embrace Mia, taking a bite of the cupcake, "Delicious!" "Mommy, this banana milkshake is really good too." Nathan brought over his banana milkshake and offered it to Sadie.
"Yum, it's tasty. Mommy likes it," said Sadie after trying Nathan's milkshake.

Noah emerged with an ice cream in hand, his charming big eyes searching the surroundings, "He likes vanilla flavor, and I was just about to share with him." "I saved smango pudding for Mr. Clark too," Nathan quickly chimed in, raising his hand.
"I want to introduce Mr. Clark to Coco." Mia proudly raised her eyebrows while holding Coco, "I told him Coco can sing, but he didn't believe me." "Mr. Clark had to leave for swork," Sadie explained. "Did you guys thank him for looking after you these past days?" "Yeah, we all thanked him properly." The three kids quickly said, "We even made plans to go to the amusement park this weekend." "Mr. Clark is pretty busy; he might not have time. How about Mommy takes you there, is that okay?" "Okay..." "Mommy, let's go eat, the steaks are getting cold!" "You got it!" Sadie, holding the hands of her three children, headed back to the booth. Noah, ever the gentleman, pulled out a chair for her. She planted a kiss on his handslittle face and praised, "Thank you, Noah!" "Mommy, Nathan wants a kiss too." "Mommy, Mia wants one too... Mia wants one as well..." "Mommy, mommy, I want one too!" Laughter and chatter echoed in the private room.
Glancing out the window, Sadie saw the Blackwell family car drive away, followed by the disappearance of the n. Clemens' as well... A resigned, bittersweet smile played on her lips. Micah's people, they were thorough to the core! While the kids were off playing, Brenda slid next to Sadie and asked in a whisper, "Miss, has Mr. Lewis left?" "Yeah, he's gone," Sadie nodded.
"He's a real good guy," Brenda marveled. "He drove out to pick us up from the countryside, took us in, and made sure we felt a home. The kids were initially standoffish, still shaken up, you know? But he took care of them with such patience and warmth, slowly earning their trust. They've becas thick as thieves over these past few days."
"I know..." Sadie let out a sigh, deep in thought. She felt the best way to om repay Mason, to show her genuine gratitude, was to keep her distance, to stop causing him any more trouble...
