Eyes shut, Sage murmured, “I guess so. We met once before this.”n asked calmly, "And you''re


    calling him ''Zack''?"


    She opened her eyes and shot him a puzzled look. "What''s wrong with that?"


    Sage replied, "Zack is his nickname. He usually goes by it."


    Sage knew whatn was getting at. How ridiculous! Last time,n got drunk at the family gathering that


    they attended with Linda. There, he pestered her about why she had stopped using his nickname. Not


    only that, he even forced her to call himny.


    Presently, he seemed petty over how she addressed Zachary. People might mistakenly think that he


    cared about her.


    She snorted. n Hob, you''re being silly.” Then, she turned to stare out of the car window.


    He stared at her for a while but said nothing. The couple sat in the car in silence until they arrived at


    Sris Estate.


    As Sage didn''t want to be nearn, she ventured into the kitchen where she found Wanda preparing


    dinner.n made his way to the upstairs study.


    Wanda looked around and said to Sage cautiously, "Mrs. Hob, Mr. Hob cares for you very


    much. When you were in Colville, he''d check the weather forecast in Colville every morning over


    breakfast.” Sage replied absentmindedly, "Is that so? He must have had nothing better to do."


    Wanda seemed very interested in chatting. “Is that true? He''d stare at your photos when he got home


    from work."


    "Oh, Wanda, how did you even know that?" teased Sage. "Did Grandma make you say that to me?"


    Wanda, sensing Sage''s distrust, hurriedly rified, "Mrs. Hob, I''m telling the truth. Mrs. Hob


    Senior has nothing to do with this.


    “I found Mr. Hob staring seriously at your photo when I brought some milk to the study room for


    him. I had to call out to him a few times to get his attention. Only then would he turn off his phone


    screen.” "Alright, I got it. Wanda, the soup smells heavenly. I''ll have a bowl of it now because I''m


    starving!"


    Sage dismissed Wanda''s words, knowing that thetter intended to help repair their spousal


    rtionship.


    Sage was already quite full by dinner time. She hurried toward the bedroom beforen came down for


    dinner.


    When she entered the bedroom, she noticed that themp she had discarded had been put back on


    her bedside table. It was glowing at that moment. Beside themp was some cute bunny decor.


    She picked up the pair of exquisite bunnies. Their coats were lustrous, and they looked adorable with


    those long ears. It melted her heart slightly.


    "A client gave these to me. I forgot to throw it out and decided to leave it on your table instead.”n


    wandered over while Sage was admiring the decor. He nonchntly exined the bunnies to her.


    She shot him a disapproving nce. "How could you throw out these cute bunnies? You have really


    bad taste.”


    He scoffed. "I don''t understand what''s so cute about them."


    Sage ignored him and ced the bunnies on the bedside table. Then, she went to the dressing room to


    get some clothes before heading into the shower.


    He tagged along. Then, he said impassively, "Dad will join us for dinner. Would you like to meet him


    today, or would you prefer to say hi to him tomorrow?"


    She froze in the middle of picking her outfit. Was Leoing to Sris Estate? If she had a choice,


    she did not want to meet Leo at all. What was the point of meeting her father-inw when divorce was


    imminent? Still, Linda''s birthday was in two days. Even if she avoided Leo for the next two days, she''d


    have to see him at Linda''s birthday party.
