“If it weren't for Grandma's efforts to stop us, we would've gotten a divorce a long tago. Why won't you sign the divorce agreement now?” Sage asked.
lan gazed at her coldly. “I don’t have tto play games with you, Sage.” Exasperated, Sage retorted, “What do | have to do to convince you that I'm not playing around? | really want a divorce!” “I'll only believe you when both of our families are gathered in the sroom with the intention to discuss our divorce in an amicable manner.” Sage fell silent at that response.
