Come home? As if Solaris Estate were her real home. Sage sneered inwardly in response to Ian's pointless questions and left without saying a word.
Wanda hurried out of the kitchen and called out, "Mrs. Holcomb, where are you going? You haven't had breakfast yet!"
"I'm in a rush, so I'm skipping it," Sage said before walking out the door. Her shoulder wasn't fully healed yet, and her left hand was injured, so driving wasn't an option. Sage pulled out her phone to book a ride instead.
To her surprise, Ian came out and said, "I'll take you to your grandfather's place."
"No—"
"I'll pay him a visit and bring him some things as well," Ian interjected with a reason she couldn't refuse.
Just then, Terry brought out several boxes of expensive supplement gift sets, while Wanda brought her two lunch boxes. "Mrs. Holcomb, you can't skip breakfast even if you're in a hurry. Here are some pastries that you can eat in the car."
Then, the driver pulled up in front of them. Sage accepted Wanda's lunch boxes, hopped into the backseat, and let Terry load the gifts and her suitcase into the trunk.
Soon, the group left Solaris Estate. It was pin-drop silent in the car, and the atmosphere was a little eerie. The driver was focused on the road, so he could remain silent. Terry, on the other hand, had nothing to do.
He regretted hopping into the car. After all, his boss had only asked him to retrieve some gifts from the locker. He hadn't asked Terry to accompany them to the Joyner residence.
Why didn't he just load the truck and find an excuse to leave? Now, he was stuck in this uncomfortable silence.
Terry could tell from the look of things that Sage never took the initiative to start a conversation. His boss seemed to be lost in thought as well. He had no choice but to break the silence. Hence, he reminded Sage, "Mrs. Holcomb, your breakfast will get cold if you don't eat it soon."
Sage responded apathetically, "I'm not hungry right now. I'll eat later when we get to my grandfather's place."
"Why aren't you eating on time when you're anemic?" Ian chided.
