Sage’s appearance immediately stopped the quarrel between the three old men.
“Grandpa.”
Sage called out to Wayne and greeted Mister Mendoza and Grandpa Yuriel.
The three old men retreated their fangs immediately upon seeing Sage and sat upright and decent.
“You’re here, Sage. Come have a seat.”
Simon looked at Sage, his eyes filled with affection.
Wayne glared at Simon and called out for Sage to sit next to him, showing off his badge of biological
grandfather’ to the rest.
“What brings you here today?”
Wayne had been talking whilst carving. He managed to carve out a lively and delicate tiger while he
was chatting with the other two.
Sage’s eyes were glued onto the tiger. How she wished she could stay and observe every single line
and curve on it.
“I’m going back to Salem City. I came to say goodbye before I leave,” Sage answered. “Leaving so
soon?” Before Wayne could say anything, Mendoza and Simon stood up straight and asked with
concern.
Sage finally peeled her eyes off the tiger as she felt Simon and Mendoza staring at her. “That’s right,
my flight is in the afternoon. I have to go back to attend to some work.” “Yes, work is important,” said
Simon. He continued to ask, “Is Jace going with you?” Sage’s expression remained the same as she
answered calmly, “He hasn’t fully recovered. He’ll be staying in the hospital for a little while. He should
just stay put in Nadeem City for now.” “Right, he should stay. What use does he have following her
around anyway?” Wayne said straightforwardly. He then added, “It’s alright, Sage. Go back and tend to
your things, your beloved grandpa will gladly make more money to spoil you.”
“Alright…!” Sage was amused.
Sage stayed for a short while with her grandpa before Hunter told her that it was almost time to leave.
Sage bid her farewell to the three old men.
Before Sage left, she gave Mendoza a huge sum of cash, saying that it was for grandpa’s
accommodation fee.
Mendoza’s eyes widened and exclaimed, “Take it back! What accommodation fee are you talking
about? There’s no such thing here.”
However, his eyes were glued to the suitcase filled with cash in shock.
He was shocked not because he had never seen that amount of cash before but because he knew how
much money was there. This young woman is definitely much more generous than
her old man here,’ Mendoza thought.
“It’s not just for accommodation.” Sage laughed and said, “Grandpa is such a hot head. These are also
for your trouble of taking care of him.”
“Well… If you put it that way…” said Mendoza.
Wayne heard the conversation from inside and growled, “Who said I’m hot-headed? How am I hot-
headed?”
Mendoza stuck his tongue out at him playfully. “Look at that, he refused to admit it.” Wayne’s head
popped out of the window all of a sudden, startling Mendoza. He looked at the cash aside and said to
Sage, “My darling, your old man, don’t eat any abalones, nor did I consume any liquid gold. Why are
you giving him so much money?” “It’s really not a lot of money for a six months stay,” Sage said as she
gestured for Hunter to lead a pretty and simple-looking young woman in. “This is May. She’ll be taking
care of you from now on.”
Wayne and Mendoza waved their hands and shook their heads upon seeing the young woman who
seemed to be younger than Sage. “No, no, no, there’s no need!”
