Chapter 447 Chapter 447: "Why?" Averi's expression drooped, his disappointment palpable.
"Fast food isn't the best choice," Noah explained gently.
"But... but I really want it..." Averi's voice trembled, his plea tinged with the onset of tears.
It had been ages since he last enjoyed fried chicken and fries, and he was really craving them.
Seeing her son on the verge of tears, Sadie quickly intervened. "It's okay to have it once in a while." She didn't want to disappoint her son or argue with Noah over something so minor.
Noah's gaze rested on Sadie's face, and he felt his resolve melting.
"Alright. Just this once,” he finally said.

The sensation was... unusual.
He looked down at the little boy, his features relaxing into a gentle smile.
As she observed this, Sadie's emotions tangled inside her.
She was torn, unsure whether to be happy or concerned.
She wanted Averi to bond with Noah but was wary of their ties deepening.
"Let's go," Noah said, snapping her out of her reverie.
He took Averi's hand and led him toward the parking lot.
Silently, Sadie followed, her heart aching with a bittersweet pang.

Sadie stood aside, observing quietly.
How perfect things would be if her relationship with Noah were less complicated.
A pang of longing touched her heart.
Once seated by a window, Averi eagerly tore into his meal, his delight evident Yummy! So yummy!" he En said through mouthfuls. Noah watched the boy's enthusiastic eating, his expression thoughtful, yet he remained silent.
He took a tentative bite of a burger, his bro9. Was this stuff really that good? He doubted it. Noah couldn't understand why Averi liked such food so much.
Seeing Noah's hesitant look, Sadie burst into laughter.
Noah gave her a quick look but remained silent.
He continued eating his burger quietly, occasionally glancing out the undering window. Nearby, under a towering tree, a figure lingered silently, seemingly waiting for something.
