A Farewell After Being Reborn novel Chapter 277

"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 one last night. Plus, she meant it when she said she would come 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 young lady, 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 accompany 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 necklace. It was made of platinum and had a beautiful emerald pendant.

"Sage, I wanted you to wear this at your and Ian's wedding, but…" Linda fell silent before handing the necklace to Sage, "no matter what happens with you and Ian, 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 accept 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 place 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's Ian who didn't cherish you."

There was an untouched glass of water on his nightstand. Ian looked up at Sage when he heard her footsteps. His gaze lingered on the emerald pendant around her neck, which flickered in the moonlight, as if he recalled something.

Sage took off the necklace and stowed it away in her bag. "Layla told me that she's already contacted your friend in Padova City. Thank you."

Ian remained silent as he looked at her. Sage ignored him and sat down at the desk. She booted up the computer before settling into the chair to read the contract her uncle's secretary had sent her.

Sage was worried that there would be some kind of trap as it involved a large 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.

"The penalty clause is way too steep, and the standards for delivery and acceptance need to be more specific." Ian's deep voice suddenly came from beside her as she was reading.
