Chapter 47 It was a message from Delilah.
Sage hadn't contacted Delilah since she went to Ivy’s place. She had blocked Delilah’s messages on Whatas well.
Now that Delilah had sent her a photo on Telegram, it was probably not good news. Sage immediately deleted the message and blocked her number.
“Please, you must accept it,” Michael sent another message after the money transfer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTo maintain his dignity, Sage decided to accept the payment.
Michael then asked, “Are you very busy? | haven't seen you at the sports complex.
For the past few days, Sage had been occupied with drafting the investment plan. Thus, she didn’t have the tto attend the lessons she had applied for. She replied, “I'm busy with work matters.” Following that, Michael sent her a bunch of encouraging cute gifs. Sage found them amusing, so she saved a few.
She then checked Michael's social media feed and found that his life was rich and full of positivity. Apart from part-twork updates, there were posts about music bands, which portrayed him as a cheerful and optimistic young man.
Sage felt a bit envious. She realized that it had been a long tsince she experienced the feelings of youth and enthusiasm.
As Sage was browsing through the feed, she received a notification which indicated she had been tagged in a Whatgroup chat. B It was a group chat created by Delilah and sclassmates. Delilah had sent a photo to the group and tagged Sage.
Sage glanced at the image, which featured an appetizing bowl! of pasta on the coffee table and a cup of passion fruit juice.

Sage couldn't tell if the photographer intended it, but it was a garment she recognized all too well- the one lan had worn earlier.
The background in the photo was also familiar to Sage as it was Ivy's residence.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA while later, Sage received a phone call from an unknown number. It was Delilah, who sounded displeased.
“Sage, what's going on? You blockedon WhatsApp, and now, you've blocked my number too?” “Did lan blyou for last time?” Delilah added, “I told you to tell him it was my idea alone. If he didn't listen, you could have discussed a countermeasure with me. Why are you sulking?” Sage didn’t bother responding. She waited for her to continue.
Sure enough, Delilah said, “The photo | sent you was the one I-bitch posted on her social media feed not long ago with a disgusting caption. I left a nasty comment, and she deleted the post! “But | saved the photo before it was gone. How is that called taking care of a drunk friend? There's clearly something going on between them. It’s disgusting!” Delilah rambled on without getting a response from Sage. “Why aren't you saying anything? Are you angry? Should we go to her place again?” Sage chuckled and said, “You care a lot more about them than | do. I unfollowed Ivy's social media long ago. If you really considera friend, do the same. Don’t do stupid things in my nagain.” “What do you mean, Sage?” Delilah was getting angry. “I did it for you! | was standing up for you. Yet instead of thanking me, you're callingstupid?” Sage calmly replied, “I don’t know if you're stupid, but don’t takefor a fool.” “Fine! Sage, if you can’t win lan over, don’t ccrying to me. | won't help you anymore!” After that, Delilah hung up in frustration.
Sage saved the image from the Whatgroup as she considered it potential evidence for future divorce proceedings.
After anxiously waiting for a day, Sage finally received news from Shane late at night.
He said, “Benjamin’s situation is a bit complicated. Let's meet up and talk”
