A Farewell After Being Reborn

“Don’t you watch where you’re going?” Ian grumbled. Sage had almost gotten hit by a car.

Startled, she came to her senses. What was she doing? Why did she suddenly get upset with Ian? Why did she sound so jealous?

It seemed like Tiana had brainwashed her into believing Ian was being good to her and that she didn’t want a divorc

anymore. Sage was terrified when she noticed a glimmer of hope rising in her heart yet again.

Ignoring Ian, she took a step back and said calmly, “I don’t want to go to the mall. I’d just like to go to a pâtisserie.”

Ian had expected Sage to become enraged and tell him that it had nothing to do with him and that he didn’t need to worry about it. However, she didn’t lose her temper at all. She seemed calm and rational instead.

Naturally, he preferred her current reaction–no fuss and no drama. Just straightforward communication. She didn’t put up an invisible wall that made it impossible for him to communicate with her.

The couple got back into the car, and Ian casually placed the bag of medication on the dashboard. He then used the GPS to find a renowned pâtisserie.

When they arrived, they noticed a queue snaking out of the store. The pâtisserie must have been popular.

Sage was about to unbuckle her seatbelt and get out of the car when Ian noticed what she was wearing. “Stay in the car. I’ll go and get the pastries,” he said.

Sage stopped in her tracks when she heard that. Ian then got out of the car. Sage still felt uncomfortable, so she opened the medicine bag and took out an antacid. She felt parched after taking them and grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the car’s mini–fridge.

Then, she accidentally spilled some water on the seat and herself while chugging it. Sage hastily wiped it with a tissue and accidentally knocked the medication Ian bought for Ivy onto the ground.

To keep things clean and organized, the prescription medications were packed in small transparent bags labeled with their names and dosages. Sage picked them up and took a look to ensure the water hadn’t damaged the medication before stuffing them all back into the bag.

Sage was on her phone when Ian returned. He sat back in the driver’s seat and noticed the water stains on the console and the water bottle next to it. “Have you taken the antacids?”

Sage nodded absentmindedly. The couple didn’t force a conversation on the way back to the resort. After getting out of the car, Ian offered to send Sage back to her room first, to which she agreed.

Along the way, the couple met several Holcomb Corporation employees, who greeted them warmly. One of them was bold enough to say, “Mr. and Mrs. Holcomb, you guys are literally a match made in heaven!”

Sage maintained a polite smile. She had already figured out why Ian had gone to such great lengths to get her to come to Greenfield Resort.

He probably felt bad for leaving her behind at his company’s party last time, which had caused her to be criticized, so he wanted to let everyone know that they were fine.

Well, he seemed to have achieved his goal. However, she never cared about being criticized. When they arrived outside of her room, she told Ian, “You can go now.”

Ian didn’t respond. Instead, he called out to a young housekeeper in front of them and handed him the bag of medications. “Could you please deliver this to Ms. Shekdotter:in room 3209?”

The man nodded and accepted the bag.

Meanwhile, Sage took the opportunity to open the door to her room. As soon as she walked in, she was surprised to see not only her belongings inside but also Ian’s.

What was he up to now? Only her belongings were in the room when she arrived earlier in the day. Sage turned around when she heard Ian’s footsteps. 1Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
