Chapter 607 Tim smiled gently and said, “Yes, duly requested by our one and only Sage.” Sage rubbed her knees and giggled, “That’s right. I’ll bring it over tomorrow.”
“Don’t bother. Keep it for yourself.” Sage was surprised. “Why? Aren’t you always curious about that antique vase of Kane’s?” Tim replied, “I happened to collect a few better ones.”
He really was the eldest in the family. Sage said, “Fine. Then, I’ll keep this.” Tim then reminded Sage to rest early, but she decided to be a little more playful. “I don’t think I can. I have the journal to work on, otherwise” “Just work on it on the plane tomorrow,” Tim interjected before she could finish her sentence.
Well, the negotiation was unsuccessful. Sage pouted and replied, “Okay.” Before hanging up, she thought about something else. “By the way, Tim, regarding Jekyll…” Tim interjected in a very low and soft voice, “You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll arrange for something. He cannot die for now. We need him to lure Shawn.”
He continued sternly, “You can pretty much assume what he says is bullsh*t, understood?”
Sage was surprised that Tim was not only more talkative, but he even used words like ‘bullsh*t ‘. It was so rare.
She was stunned for a second or two before saying, “Yes.”
After hanging up, Sage sat cross-legged on her bed and reflected upon what Tim said. She figured Tim must have been pissed off. Jekyll must have somehow messed up.
She also looked forward to touching down in Tovres since there would be plenty of foreign fruits for her to enjoy.
It was late. The brothers stayed over at Rosa Garden, and the guest rooms were full. It felt so much like when the parents were still around.
