A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 122

Susan ordered the housekeeper to serve them coffee before settling into a chair.

“What’s wrong, Sage?” Donald asked gently.

Sage felt a lump form in her throat when she noticed her grandfather looking at her with the same indulgent and

helpless expression he had whenever she got into trouble as a child.

“Grandpa…” she choked out. Tears began rolling down her cheeks

“Why are you crying, Sage? What happened?” Donald inquired anxiously. Then, he glared at his son. “Owen, did you do

something to upset Sage?”

“That’s unfair, Dad, How could you jump to such conclusions?”

Susan couldn’t help but interject. “This has nothing to do with us. It’s your precious granddaughter! She wants a

divorce!”

“Divorce?” Donald was genuinely caught off guard. He almost dropped the glass that was in his hand.

“Watch out, Grandpa!” Sage dashed forward to grab her grandfather’s glass. Then, she placed it on the coffee table and held his hand to help him catch his breath.

“Stop pretending! If you don’t want to upset your grandfather, stop doing these foolish things!” Susan mocked.

“Shut it,” Owen snapped at his wife. “Dad, you can’t possibly go along with Sage’s antics this time. If we hadn’t gone to see lan today and Susan hadn’t found that divorce agreement in time, they might’ve already filed it!”

“Sage, is everything your uncle and aunt said true?” Donald asked solemnly.

“Grandpa, I’ve been meaning to tell you about this, but I was afraid it would worry you, so…!

“Why do you want a divorce?” he asked.

He had heard Sage joke about it a while ago, but he assumed it was just something she said in the heat of an argument with Ian. He had no idea that Sage and Ian were serious about it.

There were a lot of people who kept asking her why she wanted a divorce, and Sage was tired of answering. But she had to give her beloved grandfather a reasonable explanation.

“Grandpa, lan and I were never a good match. He doesn’t love me, and this marriage is just making the both of us miserable. So I’d like to end it.”

“No one is a match made in heaven. In the past, people didn’t even get to know each other before marriage, yet all of them still made it work!” Susan argued. “Besides, you were the one who begged for this marriage! Now you want to end it just because you’re unhappy? That’s a bit childish, don’t you think?”

“Yeah, I was the one who wanted this marriage. But that doesn’t mean I can’t get a divorce! Shouldn’t people be allowed to correct their mistakes?” Sage countered. Susan was rendered speechless. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Watch it, Sage. Is that any way to talk to your elders?” Owen fumed. “You’ve only been married for a short while, and

the Holcomb family has given you everything you need. So how on earth are you miserable? The way I see it, you’re just

being overly dramatic and selfish. You just want to make

everyone unhappy!”

“Just because I have everything I need doesn’t mean I’m happy,” Sage retorted. “If Layla was stuck in an unhappy

marriage, would you also force her to stay in it too?”

“1—” “1” Owen was tongue–tied.

“Alright, that’s enough,” Donald said. “Owen, Susan, go home. I’ll talk to Sage about this.”

“Dad, no matter how protective you are of her, we will never agree to Sage and Ian getting at divorce!”
