Chapter 1318 Strange Relationship

Joe took Sadie to their old spot, that seaside restaurant where they had so many memories. The place was still as charming as ever, with twinkling lights reflecting off the water, but Sadie couldn't enjoy it. She felt nothing but deep exhaustion. Sitting across from Joe, she struggled to find the right words. How much longer could she keep trying to mend his heart?

Joe, desperate, reached across the table, his eyes pleading. "Sadie, are you still upset about Barbara? My mom sent her away. She's out of our lives, I swear."

"Why?" Joe looked at her, shocked. "Is it because of Micah?"

"It's not about him either," Sadie said, guilt in her eyes. "Joe, it's my fault you're like this. I should've just said no from the start and kept us as friends. Maybe you'd be happy by now."

But Joe wasn't ready to hear it. "My happiness is you, Sadie. No one else."
