PopularNovelAfter informing the front desk staff, Sage finally went to sleep in relief. The next morning, Donald knocked on Sage's door for breakfast.
She scrambled up from the bed and replied, "Grandpa, I'll be there right away!" She quickly washed up, put on a jacket, and answered the door with a bare face.
Donald and Dexter were waiting for her. Donald had the habit of waking up early, and he wanted Sage to sleep in while he and Dexter went for breakfast, but she insisted on tagging along.
The buffet restaurant was located on the first floor at the side of the main lobby. Since it was only 7:00 a.m., not many hotel guests were present.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHolding onto Donald's arm, Sage chatted and laughed with him. Suddenly, Donald pointed in front of him. "Is that lan?" Her gaze followed. She found lan sleeping on the long couch for guests in the main lobby. He remained dressed in the shirt and pants from last night.
Slumped on the couch, he did not have anything to keep him warm except for the jacket he was wearing. Despite looking disheveled, he exuded the air of a prince.
Sage did not expect to see him crashing on the main lobby couch. She thought he'd check into another hotel after storming out of her room last night.
She replied to Donald, "Why would lan be here? You must have mistaken someone else for him. Let's go for breakfast." Then, she attempted to direct Donald to the restaurant, but he tapped her on the forehead.
Donald chided her, "Do you think I'm senile? How could I not recognize lan?" She pouted and told Dexter to head to the restaurant first. Then, she went up to lan with Donald. Donald questioned, "lan, when did you arrive in Colville, and why did you sleep in the lobby?" lan opened his bloodshot eyes upon hearing the question. He obviously had not had a good night's rest. Sitting up, he replied, "Grandpa, I arrived after midnight. I rested in the lobby because the rooms were fully booked." His voice, usually clear, was hoarse that morning.
"How could you get any rest in the lobby? Why didn't you go to Sage's room?" Donald asked, feeling sorry for the young man.
lan shot Sage a look. "I didn't want to wake her up because it was late in the night." She silently scoffed. lan was sensible enough not to rat on her to Donald this time.
Nonetheless, Donald knew something had happened between the two. He remarked, "You shouldn't sleep in the lobby just because you didn't want to disturb her. Sage, bring him to your room to get srest." She reluctantly handed lan her room card. "You can go on your own." "You little brat—" "Grandpa, it's fine. Please excuse me." lan accepted the card, picked up his briefcase from the front desk, and took the elevator to Sage's room.
Donald knowingly asked his granddaughter, "Sage, you must have kicked him out after he went to you at midnight. Is that right?"
She pouted. Her silence was an admission. "You must know that he's here because he's he's worried about you Donald lectured her. "Not only you," were you not moved by his actions, you even threw him out of your room!" Sage admitted, "So, Grandpa, do you believe that I'm no longer in love with lan now? I wanted a divorce for a good reason."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDuring her tat Colville, not once had she mentioned lan. She did not call him to update him as well.
Instead, it was lan who took the initiative to video call her.
Donald shook his head. "You must still be resentful toward him."om Resentful? She had wanted to deny the claim, but Donald merely said, "Let's have breakfast." After breakfast, Dexter stayed with Donald in the garden for a morning exercise routine, while Sage returned to her room.
lan must have been exhausted because he fell asleep on her bed without changing his clothes. She did not wake him up.
She quietly changed into fresh clothes and put on makeup in the bathroom, after which she visited the hospital with Donald again.
