A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 151

Sage didn't expect Donald to buy a gift for Ian as well. But apart from that, he intended to give it to him under her name. The old man had certainly thought it through.

Since Donald had set things up, Sage had no choice but to play along in Ian's presence. She took the box from Susan and handed it to Ian. "Here."

"What is it?" Ian asked calmly.

She responded equally calmly, "You'll know once you check it out."

"Alright now, you can have a couple's talk later. For now, take a seat and have something," Susan said to them.

The staff at the revolving restaurant were busy helping customers grill the seafood they ordered.

Sage took the nearest seat, and Ian sat beside her. Susan, a lover of heavy foods, ordered a mountain of seafood and had the chefs grill them for the party. Not only that, she requested for them to add more spices and garlic seasoning.

"Aunt Susan, Ian doesn't take spicy foods," Sage blurted out, her mind still on the gift from Donald. She noticed a faint smile on Ian's lips but pretended not to see it.

Since Ian was a picky eater, she had put in the effort to memorize the list of foods he wouldn't take. When Susan mentioned the spices, Sage reacted instinctively.

"Sage, you should order the food since you know Ian's preferences the best!" Susan handed her the tablet used for ordering.

Sage refused to take it. "It's fine, Aunt Susan. Just decide for us. There's a lot of food going around anyway. He can find something else to eat if he can't take the spices. He won't starve tonight."

Susan did not insist. She ordered some expensive seasonal foods for dinner. Meanwhile, Owen started discussing business with Ian. The two chatted merrily as the table slowly filled with food.

Just as Sage was thinking about Layla and wondering how to bring up the topic, she heard a crisp voice pierce the air.
