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


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


    ended.


    “Ignore him,"n said to her. "Would you like something else to eat?" She shook her head. "I''m full."


    She struggled toprehend hown had endured Leo''s parenting when he was a child. Despite


    being born into wealth,n’s life didn''t seem all that rosy.


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


    high standards.


    The next day, Sage andn 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 ton 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 untilter,"n


    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.”


    Sage obediently replied, "It was my fault thest time. I will never do that again.”


    "d you know it. As punishment, you''ll spend the day and stay the night at my ce!"


    Sage had no reason not to agree since Linda invited her to stay. Linda had made up the excuse of


    needing Sage''s help to decorate the venue, but the housekeeper had already seen to it. All Sage


    needed to do was to keep Lindapany and go on a stroll together.


    After lunch, Sage apanied Linda to the chapel, where light music and a nice, woody scent filled


    the air. Linda loved performing religious rituals.


    On Sage''s previous visit to the chapel, Linda had asked her about the decision to divorce and


    persuaded her to dy deciding.


    40 days had since passed. Tomorrow would be Linda''s birthday. She took a bunch of sandalwood


    incense sticks, which Sage helped her to light.


    cing the incense on the altar, Linda asked, "Sage, have you changed your mind?"

    Sage had lost count of how many times Linda had asked her this question. Her response remained


    unchanged.


    Linda sighed softly without saying anything. Feeling bitter, Sage held Linda''s hand and said, "Grandma,


    it''s okay. If you don''t mind, just think of me as your granddaughter. I''ll visit you often.”


    Linda patted Sage''s hand but remained silent.


    "By the way, Grandma, I bought you a gift. I''ll give it to you now because you''ll be busy tomorrow." As


    she spoke, Sage ced an exquisite bag in Linda''s hand.


    “I made you an album with photos from ourst gathering. I know you love performing religious rituals


    and offerings, so here''s a rosary for you. Here are also some homemade aromatic incense to help you


    sleep better.


    "These gifts might not be worth much, but I put a lot of thought into them," exined Sage.


    Linda epted the gift graciously. “Thank you, Sage. I love them. But the best gift you could ever give


    me is to remain my granddaughter-in-w.”


    "Grandma, I..." Sage''s voice trailed off when she sawn walking into the chapel.
