Chapter 1204 A Plot within a Plot (1)

After a few drinks, Sadie's cheeks got a bit rosy. Joe topped off her glass with more wine.

"I can't drink too much tonight..." Sadie grumbled, frowning.

"Sadie!" Amanda's voice cut in just as Sadie was about to refuse. Amanda came over, glass in hand, ready to toast.

Sadie quickly stood up with her glass. "Duchess Louis, I should be toasting you."

Amanda gave a warm smile. "We're all family; no need to be so formal. I just hope the kids grow up healthy and happy, and that you and Joe are doing well." Sadie felt a pang of guilt.

"Thanks, Mom," Joe grinned.

Sadie smiled and downed her drink.

Amanda patted Sadie's shoulder affectionately and reminded her, "Don't drink too much. You still gotta watch the performance."
