A Farewell After Being Reborn

Sage felt a little awkward. She wasn't afraid that others would find out about their divorce. However, it was Linda's birthday after all.

It was a joyous occasion, and she didn't want to ruin it for everyone. Moreover, her uncle and aunt had always been against the idea, so she didn't want to cause any more problems.

Moreover, she had just snapped at Leo a few hours ago, stating that she would get a divorce with lan soon. However, her aunt unexpectedly started talking about having children in front of him. Sage figured she must've seemed hypocritical in Leo's eyes.

"Dad, didn't I tell you that Sage just blurted that out in the heat of the moment?" lan said calmly before Sage could respond.

"As their elder, shouldn't you encourage them to reconcile when they disagree? How could you say something like that?" Linda added reproachfully. "Grandma, "

"

"Don't mind him, Sage. He's always been this annoying," Linda cut Sage off.

Leo didn't utter a single word after that. After all, it was his mother who had reprimanded him. However, his expression darkened.

"We're still young, Aunt Susan. We haven't thought about having kids yet," lan told Susan.

Despite the awkward atmosphere, Susan wasn't one to shy away. "That's alright, you can always start thinking about it now! lan, you're 27. You're not young anymore."

His gaze briefly lingered on Sage's face before he calmly responded, "It's Sage's call."

Susan continued, "We all know that Sage loves you very much. I'm sure she'll be willing to start a family with you if you're—'

"Aunt Susan, it's Grandma's birthday today. She's the star of the show. Could you please not push the limelight onto me?" Sage couldn't help but remind her.

"What? When did I do that?" Susan retorted defensively. "I'm looking out for Mrs. Holcomb Senior as well. I'm sure she'd love to have a great- grandson."

Linda chimed in with a smile, "Sage didn't marry lan to carry on our family line. I'm not in a rush. Let's just go with the flow."

Susan dropped the subject after that. Sage, on the other hand, was touched. Linda really was the best.

Everyone began to leave after the

et

banquet ended. Susan pulled Sage aside before she left and asked, "Why did your father-in-law mention that you and lan are getting a divorce? Where did he hear that from?"

Sage answered, "I told him."

n

"Sage Joyner!" Susan choked out in disbelief. "Are you attempting to stir up trouble again?" She never knew when to let things go.

Sage figured her aunt might even go

to Linda again. Hence, she coulde only patiently coax her. "Alright, alright. Let's just say I was throwing a tantrum. You guys should bead back now!" All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Susan didn't suspect much, probably because her love for lan was so deeply ingrained in everyone's mind. Susan lectured Sage for a bit before leaving.

Just then, Layla walked over and raised her phone in front of Sage signaling to her that she was waiting for her message. After seeing them off, she found lan waiting for her up ahead.

"Did Aunt Susan give you a hard time?" he asked.

Sage added, "By the way, you mentioned that you had a friend in Padova City who knows a lot about the colleges there. Layla wants you to introduce her to them."

"Why don't you and lan just the night?" Linda suggested while holding Sage's hand. "Sage, you promised to spend time with me yesterday. You wouldn't go back on your word, would you?"
