A Farewell After Being Reborn novel Chapter 252

Eyes shut, Sage murmured, "I guess so. We met once before this."

Ian asked calmly, "And you're calling him 'Zack'?"

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

Ian pursed his lips. "Why don't you call him Zachary?"

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

Ian argued, "Well, 'Iany' is my nickname."

Sage knew what Ian was getting at. How ridiculous! Last time, Ian 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 him Iany.

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

She snorted. "Ian Holcomb, 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 Solaris Estate.

As Sage didn't want to be near Ian, she ventured into the kitchen where she found Wanda preparing dinner. Ian made his way to the upstairs study.

Wanda looked around and said to Sage cautiously, "Mrs. Holcomb, Mr. Holcomb 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?"

"A client gave these to me. I forgot to throw it out and decided to leave it on your table instead." Ian wandered over while Sage was admiring the decor. He nonchalantly explained the bunnies to her.

She shot him a disapproving glance. "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 placed 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 Leo coming to Solaris Estate? If she had a choice, she did not want to meet Leo at all. What was the point of meeting her father-in-law 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.
