A Farewell After Being Reborn novel 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 Ian 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.

"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?"

"I—" 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 a divorce!"
