A Farewell After Being Reborn

“He’s just used to expressing his feelings. Give it a few days, and… back off.”

Sage was a little disappointed when she heard that. “If only he would persist for a little while longer…”

Ian eyed Sage suspiciously.

Tiana’s husband might have felt a sense of urgency about his marriage and started paying more attention to Tiana if Calvin persisted for a little while longer. However, she couldn’t tell

Ian that.

Hence, she said, “It’s complicated.”

Ian was rendered speechless. The driver dropped Sage off at Solaris Estate.

“I’ll help you apply the ointment on your shoulder tonight, so don’t bother Wanda,” Ian said as she got out of the car.

Calvin had mentioned it last night as well. Still, she declined. “It’s alright. Wanda can handle it.

He added lowly, “My waist is also injured. I’ll practice on you first.” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Sage quipped, “Maybe you should just keep your mouth shut. It might just speed up both our recoveries.” Then, she walked away without sparing him another glance.

Ian frowned. He wondered why her reaction was different from what he had imagined. After all, he couldn’t bring himself to act pitiful like Calvin. He had come up with a more reasonable explanation for his actions. Yet, Sage wasn’t having any of it.

“Women are so difficult to understand,” he groaned inwardly.

Sage was resting her eyes in the afternoon when she received a message from Shane. “The fishies have taken the bait.”

She immediately perked up. “Can you catch them?”

“Relax. They’re being cautious right now. However, with the right bait, I’m sure they’ll take it.

Sage was put in a good mood by his words. “Thank you, Mr. Morrison. I’ll treat you to dinner when this is over.”

“Why wait? Let’s go out for dinner tonight.”

“I apologize, but I’ve injured my shoulder and need to rest. I can’t go out yet.”

“It’s okay. You don’t need your shoulders to eat.

“Do I have to? I was just being polite.”

“Yes, you do. Or else, I’m afraid I wouldn’t know what I’d do.”

Sage was at a loss for words. Luckily, he sent his driver to pick her up. When she walked in, she noticed Giselle in the restaurant, and her head started to throb.

She hadn’t heard from Giselle since she ran out of Shane’s office in Farsight Investment in tears the last time. She assumed that Giselle had given up on Shane. She hadn’t expected to see her here.

“There you are.” Shane spotted Sage and walked over to her with a smile on his face.

Sage glared at him. “I’m not playing your games anymore. I’m out of here.”

He kept smiling. “Hold on a second. We’re in this together. Besides, you’ve made me out to be your ‘hopeless devotee‘. Even if I didn’t invite you out, chances are that Giselle would come looking for you.”

“Well, you’re the one who’s head over heels for me, not the other way around. I have nothing to fear even if she comes searching for me.”

Sage turned to leave, but Shane’s words stopped her in her tracks. “The bait’s been set. Don’t you want to reel it in?”

“Shane Morrison! You were setting me up from the moment you messaged me, weren’t you?” she asked through gritted teeth.

Shane shrugged. “Don’t say that. We’re both getting something out of this.”

Giselle couldn’t sit still anymore. She got up and walked over to Shane and Sage. “Shanie, could you give us a minute? I’d like to talk to Ms. Joyner alone.”

Shane arched his brow. “What are you going to talk to her about? I’m warning you, dare bully her. Even if your older brother steps in, I won’t let you get away with it.”
