Sage scoffed. "What is this? Compensation?" lan would never use that term ever again after she offered him 10 thousand dollars to accompany her for a month. "If I can't accompany you and Grandpa to another state, I'll cover all of your travel expenses instead," he explained.
Sage declined. "That won't be necessary. My family isn't short on money." Her tone made him feel as if there was no longer any connection between them. He suppressed his discomfort and asked lowly, "Should I tag along then?" Sage took the card as soon as she heard that. Even though he might not have meant it, her mood would've been ruined if he decided to join them out of spite. Since he was offering, she would be a fool not to take it.

Donald was already waiting in the yard when they arrived. Sage walked over to him with a smile. "Grandpa!" "Sage, why would you want to accompanyto Colville? In the past, you always said you didn't want to go because the climate there is too dry," Donald inquired.
"That's not a big deal. I packed a lot of hydrating mists and face masks. I just want to spend twith you, Grandpa!" she responded.
lan and his driver, who was carrying the supplements, walked over as the two chatted. Donald was surprised to see that lan had also calong. "What brings you here, lan? Shouldn't you be at work at this hour?" lan gestured for his driver to take the supplements inside and smiled politely. "I learned that you were going to visit an old friend, Grandpa, so I prepared a little something for you." "That's so kind of you, lan." Donald smiled. "Since you're already here, why don't you stay for lunch before you head back?" It was almost 11:00 a.m. lan glanced at Sage and was about to accept Ronnald's invitation when his phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Ronald.
lan excused himself and walked off to answer it. "Uncle Ron, what's up?" "lan, Ivy hasn't eaten anything since last night. Could you cover and helptalk ssense into her?" Ronald pleaded.
lan frowned. "Why won't she eat anything?" "She said she's not feeling well and doesn't have an appetite, but I know she's just mad at me," Ronald choked out. "She's upset because I questioned your wife last night. Ivy is worried that you'd get the wrong idea and thought she askedto do that.

"I was just too worried about Ivy last night, lan, so I questioned your wife in the heat of the moment. It's my fault. It has nothing to do with Ivy..." "I haven't found out the truth about last night's incident yet, so I'm not blaming any of you."
"Ivy said there's no need to look into it anymore. After all, this matter involves your wife. She doesn't want to put you in a difficult position." Ronald choked out, "lan, you haven't called her since last night. Ivy might not have said anything, but she's hurting. She's my one and only daughter. Please, just for her sake, cover and talk to her." Instinctively, lan wanted to look at Sage's expression when he heard that. However, she and her grandfather were nowhere to be found. "lan?" Ronald called out again when he didn't get a response. lan nodded absentmindedly. "I'll go over there in a bit."
After hanging up the phone, the driver walked over to him and said, "Mr. Holcomb, Mrs. Holcomby said she didn't want to hold you up since you're so busy. Mrs. Holcomb and Mr. Joyner Senior still had sthings to take care of, so they went inside." It was obvious that she was attempting to get rid of him. lan stood frozen in place for a moment before heading toward the car.
