The driver thought he had misheard, but lan's deep voice was unmistakable. The driver questioned, "Mr. Holcomb, are you askinga question?" lan fell silent.

The driver mustered the courage to reply. "Well, my wife has the final say in my household. She'll take care of any emergency, so I have nothing to worry about." Knowing that the driver misunderstood his question, lan did not bother to explain further. The doctor who treated Sage had cto a hasty conclusion without understanding the situation they were in when Sage got hurt.

Besides, this was not the first tSage had faced off against Ivy. lan believed that he'd only embolden Sage if he unreasonably sided with her.

Moreover, he had no idea that Sage was hurt. When he attempted to learn about the details, Sage was long gone and uncontactable. Therefore, he didn't think he had mishandled the situation. If Sage insisted on traveling to Colville with Donald out of spite, he had no choice but to let her be.

Although lan somewhat managed to convince himself, he felt troubled when he recalled the mocking expression on Sage's face.

After lunch, Sage and Donald arrived at the airport with Dexter. Since she couldn't possibly share a room with Donald, and she was clueless about the exact tand place of Donald's accident in the past life, she requested Dexter to tag along just to be safe.

After getting their boarding passes, the theaded to the business class lounge to rest. Sage's phone rang while Donald and Dexter were chatting with each other.

She checked her phone and was surprised that it was Linda who had called. Why would Linda call her at this time? She answered the call and asked, "Grandma, what's the matter?" Linda replied, "Sage, lan's dad is flying htoday. Didn't you promiseto join us for dinner at Holcomb Manor?" Sage smacked herself on the head. She had completely forgotten about the promise. Ian had not brought up the matter earlier in the morning. But even if he had, she wouldn't have altered her travel plans for the dinner anyway.

"Grandma, I'm so sorry. I'm accompanying my grandpa on a trip to visit his old friend at Colville. I won't be around for a few days, so I can't have dinner with you tonight," Sage explained apologetically.

Then, she added, "When is Mr. Holcomb Senior coming home? I'll call him to apologize." "There's no need to apologize to Leo. I didn't invite you to dinner because of him. It was because I wanted to meet you!" Hearing that, Sage was further riddled with guilt. Not only did she fail to make the mille crepe cake for Linda, but she also stood Linda up. She felt like a bad granddaughter-in-law.

"Sage, did lan upset you? Why would you suddenly travel to Colville?" Linda questioned.

Sage quickly de up a white lie. "Grandma, my grandpa is old. I'm too worried to send him on a trip alone, so I decided to go with him. But don't worry! I'll be back before your birthday, and I'll make sure you have a good one!" Linda instantly sensed Sage's reluctance to bring up lan. The young couple must have gotten into a fight again. Yesterday, she received news that lan had brought Sage to the team-building event. They looked lovey-dovey in front of everyone, and their interactions were captured in photos as well. It did not make sense for Sage to suddenly depart for Colville the next day.

Linda mistakenly thought that the couple's relationship had improved his ever since she transferred the housekeeper away, but the improvement didn't last long. "Sage, you know I want more than for you to celebrate my birthday with me," Linda confessed.

Sage understood Linda's intentions, but she could not fulfill Linda's expectations. She apologized hurriedly. "Grandma, I'm sorry."

"Silly child. I know it's not your fault.” Since Linda couldn't possibly stop Sage from boarding the plane, she requested that Sage return from Colville two days earlier than scheduled.

She informed Sage that she wouldn't throw a grand birthday celebration, but she would like Sage to help with the venue decorations because many family and friends would be in attendance. Feeling guilty, Sage agreed to Linda's request. "Sure. I'll let you know when I'm back." X
