"No way. As long as you don''t find me annoying, Grandma, I''ll definitely drop by more often to see you."


    It was just one night, anyway. Sage didn''t mind staying onest night. Plus, she meant it when she said


    she woulde to see Linda in the future.


    However, Linda wasn''t pleased when she heard that. She asked as if she had already known, "Did Leo


    give you a hard time again this afternoon? I know you''re a well-mannered youngdy, and that you


    wouldn''t have shut him down."


    Sage was touched when she realized just how much Linda understood and trusted her. She couldn''t


    bear the thought of leaving Linda behind. "I wouldn''t exactly call it a hard time. After all, I was at fault,


    too," she said.


    Linda didn''t press any further and asked Sage to apany her to her bedroom. Josephine took out a


    box from the safe and handed it to Linda before she left the room.

    Linda opened it and took out a ne. It was made of tinum and had a beautiful emerald pendant.


    "Sage, I wanted you to wear this at your andn''s wedding, but..." Linda fell silent before handing the


    ne to Sage, "no matter what happens with you andn, I just want you to be happy."


    Sage didn''t dare to take it. "Grandma, you''ve already been so kind to me. I''m so grateful. I can''t ept


    any more gifts from you."


    "It''s just something small," Linda said with a smile. "Come on, squat down. Let me put it on you."


    Sage could only bend down and let Linda ce it on her neck. She felt like she couldn''t refuse Linda''s


    kindness after sharing so much. The emerald pendant was heavy and cool against her skin. Sage felt


    goosebumps all over as she stood back upright. "Thank you, Grandma."


    "It''s not your fault that your marriage failed. It''s not your fault for pursuing love. It''sn who didn''t


    cherish you."


    Linda held her hand and said lovingly, "I would''ve loved for you to stay as my granddaughter-inw, but


    I can''t force you to do that. After all, marriage is about seeking happiness, and so is divorce."


    Tears streamed down Sage''s cheeks. "Thank you, Grandma."


    The two of them talked for a little while longer before Sage asked Linda to go and rest when she


    noticed how tired Linda was.


    Sage then went back to the room Linda had prepared for her andn. The room was decked out in red


    and pink, like a newlywed couple''s honeymoon room.


    However, she andn had only spent one night there. Ian used work as an excuse and went through


    his emails for the first half of the night before sleeping on the couch in the second half. He didn''t even


    come close to the bed, let alone touch her.


    Sage took off the ne and stowed it away in her bag. "La told me that she''s already contacted


    your friend in Padova City. Thank you."


    Sage was worried that there would


    be some kind of trap as it involved arge sum of money, so she flipped through the pages carefully


    and read every single word. Strangely enough, the contract seemed to be in order. Sage decided to


    read it again.
