Chapter 1262 Barbara Had Tried This Before

Sadie was chillin' in her room after breakfast, just reading and taking it easy. Annika and Arya crashed in the guest room, while Jessica and Aurora hung out with Sadie.

Before they knew it, the day turned into evening. Annika and Arya, all refreshed from their naps, joined Sadie just as Barbara rolled in with dinner and a fancy bottle of red wine. "Joe's not back yet?" Sadie asked, barely looking up from her book.

"Nope, Ms. James," Barbara said, all respectful. "He's got a lot on his plate today. Might be back late."

"Really? What's the deal?" Sadie asked, swirling her wine glass like a pro.

"Press conference this afternoon, and he's gotta entertain some big shots tonight. Plus, he's gotta see some folks off at the airport," Barbara explained.

"Oh," Sadie nodded. "Makes sense. Postponing the wedding's a big deal."

"This wine's from Grapetown Heights. Have some more; it'll help you sleep," Barbara suggested.

"Thanks," Sadie smiled. "You can go now."
