Chapter 63
Sage was furious as she thought, “What’s wrong with lan? He’s being so unreasonable!”
Sage knew that even if she tried to drag him out, she wouldn’t be able to succeed. So, she dashed over and grabbed the pillow lan was leaning against.
“Fine! Stay here all you like! I’m going to sleep in the guest room!”
When lan heard that, he closed his eyes. He was indifferent to her words.
With the pillow in her arms, Sage went to check on the guest rooms. The beds were all empty, and there wasn’t any bedding to be found. It was only then that Sage realized why lan didn’t respond to her words.
Sage could sleep on the couch or a bare bed, but she didn’t see why she should suffer.
Holding the pillow in her arms, she stomped back to the master bedroom. She wanted to drive lan out,
but then, she saw him on a video call with Donald.
“Grandpa, Sage is here.” lan aimed the phone at her.
Sage hastily put on a smile. “Grandpa, why are you still awake so late at night?”
“You didn’t call me when you arrived home. I was worried about you, so I called.”
As Donald spoke, he asked curiously. “Where did you go with the pillow?”
“Oh, well, I was grabbing a pillow from the side.”
“lan said just now that he’s feeling a little sick, and he has a fever. Take good care of him, and don’t run
around so much.”
“Got it, Grandpa.”
“Alright, now go to bed soon, you two. I’m hanging up.”
After the video call ended, Sage still wanted to talk about the bed, but lan said, “You’ve promised
Grandpa to take good care of me, so you can’t go back on your word.
“If not, I’ll record a video and send it to Grandpa.”
Sage was speechless.
She knew that lan might not do something as childish as that, but she couldn’t be bothered to keep

arguing with him anyway.
She tossed the pillow onto the lounge chair. Then, she went to the bathroom.
By the time she finished showering and entered the room, lan was already asleep.
She didn’t know if he felt too hot or uncomfortable, but he had undone a few buttons on his pajamas. His well–developed chest muscles were exposed.
Sage thought for a moment. Then, she grabbed her phone and took a photo of lan. She even made sure that the pink bear on the bed was in the frame. Then, she sent it straight to Ivy.
Ivy liked to use that tactic, so Sage would let Ivy have a taste of her own medicine.
Sage didn’t care if she managed to provoke Ivy. She just wanted to offend Ivy.
Then, after Ivy got together with lan, she would remember that lan was still sleeping on Sage’s bed even though he was on the verge of divorce. Ivy would feel upset because of that.
After everything was done, Sage put her phone away and lay on the lounge chair. She soon fell asleep.
The next day, Sage woke up to find herself on the bed.
She didn’t sense anything off at first, and she even stretched naturally.
But then, when she recalled what happened last night, she suddenly came to her senses. Why was she
on the bed?
Did she sleepwalk here? Or did she go back to her bed halfway through her slumber because she couldn’t get used to the lounge chair?
Where was lan?
Sage glanced around her. lan was nowhere to be seen, so he must have gone to work.
Sage sighed in relief. Then, she casually unlocked her phone. Unexpectedly, she saw the internet blowing
up because of Benjamin’s incident!
She tapped in to read the details. As it turned out, Benjamin had published an alarming post on his news
feed early this morning.
However, the author of the post obviously wasn’t Benjamin himself.
After all, there was a refreshing sense of resolve in the contents of the post.
