Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!

"Let's see..." Micah bent over to examine Sadie's leg. "Are you bleeding?" "It's really painful..."

Sadie twisted to catch a glimpse of his lower back but instead was greeted by his stark-naked figure, which made her scream in shock, her hands covering her eyes. "Why on earth aren't you wearing clothes?" "Seriously? Who showers with their clothes on?" Micah retorted sharply.

"Pervert..." Sadie kept her eyes firmly shut, not daring to peek. "Put on your robe, for goodness' sake."

"Not hurting anymore, are we?"

Micah raised an eyebrow smirking, thinking she was bold to try fooling him.

All this ruse just to get a clear view of the tattoo on his lower back?

Now that he was willing to show her, she didn't dare to look.

"Ugh, stop it!"

Blushing furiously, Sadie stood up and ran out in a fluster.

Micah's lips curved into a smug smile, watching her flee in disarray. She was still too green to match wits with him...

Back in her own room, Sadie leaned against the door, panting.

Previously, gazing at him from a distance of three meters by the pool, she couldn't make out the details of his body and managed to converse normally despite being nervous.

But to have him standing behind her completely bare while she was squatting - she turned only to be nearly hit in the face by his... enormity.

The thought alone scared her senseless.

No, she couldn't dare verify her suspicions while he was showering again. It was just too terrifying...

Wrapped in a towel, Micah sauntered out of the bathroom and leaned on the sofa with a drink, his eyes resting on the left wall as he recalled Sadie's bashful demeanor - it stirred something within him.

That foolish woman, her shyness was undeniably alluring...

Recalling her fiery passion in the car, he yearned to savor her charms again. But now that she harbored suspicions about his identity, approaching her might blow his cover...

Better to let it be. Patience is a virtue.

Micah Clemens downed half a bottle of whiskey in one go, yet sleep eluded him. Running his fingers through his still-damp hair, he stood up and wandered out to the balcony to take in the night view.

The stars were spectacular tonight, competing for glory against the glittering city lights in the distance-an urban shimmer against the celestial glow.

The night breeze was gentle and cool on the skin.

"Brenda, you've arrived? That's great, that's just great..." Sadie Roth's voice drifted over. Micah turned to see her stepping out onto her balcony, phone in hand. She was dressed in a long, short-sleeved tee that barely covered her legs, a casual ensemble that somehow struck an inexplicably beautiful note as the breeze played with her hair.

"Noah and..." Sadie's voice halted abruptly, her words faltering. She had retreated to the balcony for privacy, away from the ears of the household staff - how on earth did she run into Micah Clemens here? Shirtless, clad in only a bath towel around his waist, he stood with a glass of whiskey on the neighboring balcony, seemingly enveloped in his own world.

Only a mere fifteen feet separated them, close enough for each to see the other clearly-and for Sadie to catch a glimpse of the teal tattoo on his waist... But no sooner had she seen it than he had turned away. Leaning against the balcony railing with his back to her, he exuded a calm and content air, his demeanor so relaxed, betraying no hint of guilt.

Sadie, still on the phone, leaned over the railing, craning her neck in a vain attempt to catch another glimpse of his tattoo. Frustration clawed at her; she was tempted to rush over and spin him around for a closer look... "Mommy, mommy..." The chattering voices of Noah, Nathan, and Mia bubbled through the phone, calling for Sadie.

"Wait a minute." Tucking the phone to her ear, Sadie retreated back inside the room.

Relief washed over Micah; that was a close call with the tattoo. Thankfully, he was quick on his feet. But who was she talking to in that soft, intimate tone? The snippet of conversation had mentioned a man's name—"Noah." Who was that?
