A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15 

Ian, dressed in a dark suit, walked in. What was he doing there? His 

expression turned slightly colder when he saw Sage. He seemed to be trying hard to keep his emotions in check

Why did he look like that? Was he still mad over what had happened that morning

Grandpa,he greeted Donald politely as Sage pondered the matter

You’re here, Ian. You must be hungry! Come on, join us for dinner. We were just waiting for you!Donald said lovingly. Here, sit beside Sage. You like fish sticks, don’t you? They’re by Sage’s side.” 

At that, Sage pushed the dish to the center of the table. Sit on the opposite side.” 

Sage, what are you doing? That’s rude.After reprimanding Sage, Donald turned to Ian and said helplessly, I’ve spoiled her rotten, Ian. She can be willful sometimes. I hope you’ll be more tolerant of her. Don’t bear a grudge against her. Deep down, she has a kind soul.” 

Ian didn’t refute Donald. He sat down opposite Sage and said calmly, Got 

it, Grandpa.” 

He’d been raised to have the best manners. Even if he didn’t like Sage, he wouldn’t lose his composure with Donald around. Of course, there were always exceptions to the rule

In Sage’s previous life, Ian had insisted on having her admitted to a mental institution for Ivy’s sake. Donald had tried to help her, but he’d said almost rudely, Since you failed to raise her well, I’ll do it on your behalf.

Sage immediately lost her appetite as she recalled the events of her previous life. She picked at her food as Donald and Ian chatted about the news and 

the economy

Oh, right, Sage.Donald seemed to think of something. Remember the perfume sample that you made last time? Many customers loved it and 

asked me when I was gonna mass produce it!” 

I only made that for fun, Grandpa. You know how rare the ingredients needed for that perfume are. How can you possibly mass produce it?” 

Oh, yeah. I forgot about that.Donald smiled while smacking himself on the head. That doesn’t change the fact that my darling Sage is a capable woman. Don’t you think so, Ian?” 

Ian nodded, but it was more out of his respect for an elder than genuine 

agreement

Sage couldn’t help feeling bitter and guilty at the proud look on Donald’s face. He was deliberately praising her to make Ian realize how many strengths she had. Hopefully, it would make him like her more

It was too bad that Ian would only see her flaws. No amount of praise or compliments would change that

They had some tea after dinner. Soon, the sky had gone completely dark. Donald said cheerily, Well, it’s getting late, so I won’t keep you. You guys should head home and get some rest.” 

I’m not going anywhere, Grandpa. I want to stay here for a few days and spend more time with you!Sage said coquettishly

It had been so long since she’d seen Donald, so she wanted to accompany him as much as she could: One day was far from enough

Donald tapped her on the forehead. Oh, you. Ian came all the way here to pick you up, didn’t he? Why are you sticking around here instead of going home with him?” 

He turned to Ian. I know you’re busy with work, Ian, but do drop by with Sage for a meal when you have the time.” 

Got it, Grandpa.Ian nodded politely

Before Sage got into the car, Donald held her hand and said lovingly, Sage, stop fighting with Ian, okay? It’s always better to talk things out. You 

shouldn’t let problems fester overnight.” 

After getting into the car, Sage curled up in her seat and turned to face the 

window. Donald hadn’t believed that she and Ian hadn’t argued. He’d 

deliberately invited Ian over so that he could help smooth things out 

between them

Despite his age, he was still concerned about her. Earlier, to stop Donald from worrying, Sage had kept her tears at bay. Now, however, she couldn’t hold them back anymore

Why did you turn your phone off?Ian asked coldly. You either run to your grandfather’s or my grandmother’s when you make mistakes. When will you stop causing trouble, Sage

Your grandfather even said that you had a kind soul. Look at all the things you’ve donehow are any of them considered kind?”
