A Farewell After Being Reborn

She truly owed it to lan last night. Otherwise, not only would she have been physically hurt, but those indecent videos would've been all over the internet by now. There was no way she could be sitting here, conversing peacefully with Linda.

"Sage, it's obvious that lan cares about you now. Are you really not going to give him another chance?" Linda still wanted to fight for her grandson.

Sage shook her head resolutely. "Grandma, what's done is done. Ian helped me last night, but that doesn't change the fact that we're getting a divorce. I'm going to the court with him tomorrow."

Linda shook her head as she had expected that. "Alright. I won't try to persuade you anymore."

The elderly woman squeezed Sage's hand and said, "Don't overdo it. You just went to the hospital last night. Sit down and rest."

"It's alright, Grandma. I'm not tired." Sage wanted to spend more time with Linda as she wouldn't be able to take care of her as her granddaughter-in- law soon.

"Grandma, Uncle Owen called me just now and told me Grandpa's not feeling well, so he won't be able to attend your birthday party. But Uncle Owen will come over with Aunt Susan later," she said as she massaged Linda's shoulders.

Linda smiled and said, "We're family. There's no need for such formalities. This isn't a grand banquet either. It's just a gathering for everyone to enjoy themselves. I can't take the hustle and bustle, so I came in here to enjoy some peace and quiet."

"Grandma." Ian walked in as the two were talking. When he noticed Sage massaging his grandmother's shoulders, he hurried over to her, took her wrist, and took a look at it before saying, "Go and get some rest. I'll take over."

"Oh, so now you know how to take care of your wife." Linda glared at her grandson. "What took you so long?"

"Grandma-" Sage was about to speak up when lan cut her off.

"You're right, Grandma. I wasn't a good husband in the past."

"It's not your fault. I was the one who forced you to in the first place." Sage then turned to Linda and said, "My uncle and aunt should be here soon. I'll go and take a look, Grandma She didn't want to be in the same space as lan. Otherwise, she would think of Ivy and get mad at him.

Linda was well aware that she was just making excuses, so she could only nod and say, "Okay."

The elderly woman swatted her grandson's hand away after Sage left. "Go away! You're so clumsy. You're not even half as good as Sage."

He looked outside as he withdrew

his hand. Well? What are you waiting for? Go and be with your wife!" Linda snapped, unimpressed. lan didn't refuse either and got up to follow Sage.

Owen and Susan had indeed arrived and were already chatting amicably with the Holcombs. Sage didn't want to join in the fun, so she found a quiet spot to sit down in.

She was about to ask a housekeeper

for a glass of water when she

noticed lan walking toward her. lan stood talland handsome, with chiseled features. Even in such a grand setting where everyone was dressed to the nines, he was still the most dazzling one.

He held a steaming cup of coffee in his hand, which seemed to add a touch of warmth to his stern demeanor.

Sage accepted it and asked in confusion, "Why are you out here as well? Weren't you supposed to be inside with Grandma?"

"Heavy-handed? As if. Grandma probably still wants us to get back together," she thought. "Go and greet your relatives then. I'd like to sit in silence for a bit," Sage said.
