A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 254

"Where are you off to? Are you seriously leaving your father alone at the dinner table?" Leo growled.

Ian replied, "We will excuse ourselves for now because I'm worried our lack of manners will spoil your appetite."

"Ian, you're really something." Scoffing, Leo got up and left. Sage felt uneasy about how the dinner had ended.

"Ignore him," Ian said to her. "Would you like something else to eat?"

She shook her head. "I'm full."

She struggled to comprehend how Ian had endured Leo's parenting when he was a child. Despite being born into wealth, Ian's life didn't seem all that rosy.

Fortunately, she wouldn't be Mrs. Holcomb anymore, freeing herself from worrying about meeting Leo's high standards.

…

The next day, Sage and Ian visited Linda. Sage had a headache when she recalled Leo's attitude from last night.

If it weren't for Linda's sake, she might have refused to go and confessed to Ian that there was no need to change her, as she wouldn't be married to him any longer.

"It's okay. Grandma's here, and she'll support you. Besides, Dad won't be home until later," Ian comforted Sage, seemingly having read her thoughts.

She nodded. "Don't you have work to attend to? Go ahead."

Linda came out to greet them. "Sage, you're here! Come over."

Sage happily skipped her way to Linda. "Grandma."

"Gosh, you're finally back," Linda teased. "I was worried you might stand me up again."
