Chapter 80
Ian pursed his lips, not questioning Sage’s attitude. He said calmly, “You requested this before. What’s wrong with me agreeing to it now?”
Sage couldn’t help but scoff. “You said so yourself. I requested this before, which means it was in the past. You didn’t agree to it before. And now I don’t need it anymore. The only thing you need to do now is to sign the divorce agreement!”
“If you really didn’t want to pair my clothes anymore, why did you let Aunt Susan bring my things into the bedroom, Sage? You even told her I don’t come home often for dinner.”
Sage immediately felt awkward after hearing Ian’s words.
Susan actually told lan about that!
“I didn’t ask her to come over. What she did has nothing to do with me…” Sage tried to explain.
Before she could finish talking, Susan called out from downstairs, “Sage, Ian, hurry up and come downstairs. Dinner will be ready soon!”
Sage composed herself and said to lan, “We can talk about this later. No matter what Aunt Susan requests of you later, don’t agree to it.”
Ian shot Sage a neutral look but said nothing.
Sage soon lost the mood to change her clothes. She then went downstairs.
Wanda was helping Susan bring the food out from the kitchen. Not only was there herbal stew, but there were also high–quality ingredients like lobster and caviar. It sure lead like Susan had given it her all for this dinner.
It was also obvious that Susan was trying to appeal to them with this meal.
“What are you standing there for? Where’s Ian? Have him come join us for dinner!” Susan gestured at Sage.
Sage said right away, “You shouldn’t come here to cook anymore, Aunt Susan. Wanda will
cook whatever we want to eat.”
Susan understood Sage’s meaning. She chastised, “I’m only doing this for your own good, Sage. I want you to grow closer to Ian.
“What’s so wrong with a husband and wife having a happy relationship? Why does it sound

like you’re blaming me for being nosy?”
Sage said, “You still can’t just interfere in our personal affairs like this.”
It made Ian think it was Sage’s idea!
Susan didn’t understand at first. “What personal affairs did I interfere in? Oh, do you mean by me putting Ian’s items back into the master bedroom?”
Susan continued, “Your housekeeper was cleaning things up when I arrived, so I went to check it out. I had her put the items outside the bedroom back inside. What’s so wrong with that? You shouldn’t have gotten angry with Ian in the first place!”
Sage gazed at Susan. “Aunt Susan, it’s best you worry about the fact that Layla won’t be able to graduate in your spare time. I don’t need you to worry about us here.”
“You!” Susan choked on her words. She happened to see Ian come downstairs, so she ignored Sage and went up to greet him. “Hurry and come sit here, Ian. Dinner will be ready soon!”
Sage was speechless.
Susan animatedly chatted with Ian during dinner. “Ian, you must be really busy with work, huh?”
Ian ate some stew and said in a tone that was neither distant nor friendly, “A little.”
Susan sighed. “Your uncle is busy every day, too. But unlike you, he’s mindlessly busying himself for the company. Not many people want to see him, so he’s been really concerned.”
“If Owen is so tired, then he should hire a professional management team.” Sage couldn’t you must’ve h bout.” help but speak up. “I suggested this to Grandpa last time, which

‘What professional management team?” Susan instantly got upset. “Don’t you trust in your uncle’s capabilities? Why waste so much money to hire outsiders?
“If word gets out, people will talk about your uncle behind his back and think he’s incapable!
