Sage scoffed. "What is this? Compensation?"


    Sage declined. "That won''t be necessary. My family isn''t short on money."


    Her tone made him feel as if there was no longer any connection between them. He suppressed his


    difort and asked lowly, "Should I tag along then?"


    Sage took the card as soon as she heard that. Even though he might not have meant it, her mood


    would''ve been ruined if he decided to join them out of spite. Since he was offering, she would be a fool


    not to take it.


    Donald was already waiting in the yard when they arrived. Sage walked over to him with a smile.


    "Grandpa!"


    "Sage, why would you want to apany me to Colville? In the past, you always said you didn''t want


    to go because the climate there is too dry,” Donald inquired.


    "That''s not a big deal. I packed a lot of hydrating mists and face masks. I just want to spend time with


    you, Grandpa!" she responded.


    this hour?"


    “That''s so kind of you,n.” Donald smiled. "Since you''re already here, why don''t you stay for lunch


    before you head back?"


    It was almost 11:00 a.m.n nced at Sage and was about to ept Ronnald''s invitation when his


    phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Ronald.


    n, Ivy hasn''t eaten anything sincest night. Could youe over and help me talk some sense into


    her?" Ronald pleaded.


    "She said she''s not feeling well and doesn''t have an appetite, but I know she''s just mad at me," Ronald


    choked out. "She''s upset because I questioned your wifest night. Ivy is worried that you''d get the


    wrong idea and thought she asked me to do that.


    “I was just too worried about Ivyst night,n, so I questioned your wife in the heat of the moment. It''s


    my fault. It has nothing to do with Ivy..."


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    “I haven''t found out the truth aboutst night''s incident yet, so I''m not ming any of you."


    “Ivy said there''s no need to look into it anymore. After all, this matter involves your wife. She doesn''t


    want to put you in a difficult position." Ronald choked out, n, you haven''t called her sincest night.


    Ivy might not have said anything, but she''s hurting. She''s my one and only daughter. Please, just for


    her sake,e over and talk to her." Instinctively,n wanted to look at Sage''s expression when he


    heard that. However, she and her grandfather were nowhere to be found. n?" Ronald called out


    again when he didn''t get a response.


    After hanging up the phone, the driver walked over to him and said, "Mr. Hob, Mrs. Hob said


    she didn''t want to hold you up since you''re so busy. Mrs. Hob and Mr. Joyner Senior still had some


    things to take care of, so they went inside."


    It was obvious that she was attempting to get rid of him.n stood frozen in ce for a moment before


    heading toward the car.
