Chapter 129 “Uncle Ron really liked the wine I gifted him last time. I'll have someone deliver a few more bottles to him.” “lan “Rest well. I'll be going now.” He then got to his feet and left the ward.

Sage woke up the next day feeling refreshed. She was so tired from practicing self-defense with Michael the day before. After a refreshing and soothing bath, she climbed into bed and drifted off into a deep slumber.

Sage stretched her arms and yawned. She was about to reach for her phone to catch up when she found a deep red brocade box on the nightstand. Intrigued, she opened it and found a pair of delicate diamond earrings nestled inside.

The earrings were simple yet elegant, with just the right amount of sparkle. It was perfect for everyday wear without being too ostentatious.

She had never bought such earrings before. Plus, it was placed on her nightstand, so it was clear that it was meant for her. Did lan leave them here? Had he returned last night? She had slept so soundly that she hadn't noticed a thing. Did he leave the earrings there as a way of apologizing for seeing Ivy yesterday? He had never been one for gifts. Even when she had dropped hints on numerous occasions- birthdays, holidays, or anniversaries he always brushed them off with excuses like he was busy, wasn’t interested, or she should just pick something out herself. It seemed like he was becoming more thoughtful.

Sage set the earrings aside, washed up, and did her skincare routine. After she had freshened up, she picked up the earrings and held them up for a closer look. B Upon closer inspection, she had a feeling that she had seen these earrings before. Sage frowned and pondered for a moment before it hit her-she had indeed seen them before... on Ivy! Ivy was wearing them in a series of photos she posted on Instagram. The caption to her post. read, “I mentioned that | loved orchids when | was a child, and someone remembered it! I'm so grateful to have received these custom-made earrings, so | took a few photos to commemorate them!” At the time, Sage had been green with jealousy, and she couldn’t help but look at the pictures over and over again. Eventually, she couldn't take it anymore and sought solace from her grandmother-in-law. Under her coercion, lan reluctantly bought her a pair of earrings as well.

Sage couldn't believe these earrings had somehow ended up in her hands! Just then, someone opened the door.

Sage turned around and noticed it was lan.

His expression remained unchanged when he spotted the earrings in her hand. “I cto get something,” he said apathetically.

+15 BONUS “Did you buy these earrings?” she asked.

He glanced at her. “I figured I'd save you from your usual spiel aboutnever getting you anything. Otherwise, you'd use this as an excuse to go and bother Grandma.” “When did you get them?” she demanded.

lan could tell she wasn’t in a good mood. He suspected that she was about to interrogate him. She could at least smile even if she couldn't muster up a simple thank you.

“What's your problem?” lan frowned.

“The stores were all closed when you left yesterday. Plus, you were in such a rush to get to the hospital. There is no way you had the tto get them,” Sage stated. “So you must've bought them beforehand. But you didn’t give them toright away when you got home. Instead, you waited until after you returned from the hospital...” “S07” “So, it’s nothing but trash!” Sage flung them into the trash can. “And that’s where it belongs.” lan’s forehead creased when he looked at the diamond earrings in the trash can. “Sage Joyner, what's gotten into you so damn early in the morning?”
