A Farewell After Being Reborn

"Okay." Sage was relieved. Thank goodness she didn't make them worry. "Could you have someone bring me a change of clothes please? I'll take a

quick shower before we head to the station to give our statements."

"Don't you have anything else to say about what happened last night?" lan couldn't help but ask when he noticed how calm and collected she was

after her initial embarrassment.

"What else am I supposed to say?" she asked. "Benjamin is behind bars, and Grandpa and Grandma are none the wiser. Isn't that good news?"

"So all this time you've been kicking up a fuss and insisting on divorce because I haven't consummated our marriage?" he asked lowly.

Sage sneered as she realized that was what he wanted to talk about. "You're reading too much into it. Last night was just an accident. I won't hold

you accountable for taking advantage of me either. After all, you saved me, so I suppose we're even now.

"Let's go to the court tomorrow once Grandma's birthday celebration is over and get that divorce certificate.”

"Haven't you had enough of this, Sage Joyner?" lan roared. "Last night, you couldn't even stand the mere mention of divorce! Why are you acting like

a completely different person after you've woken up?"

Sage scoffed. "Well, you're not wrong. You could think of me as a different person. But this is honestly so strange. Why are you upset when I'm the

one who was taken advantage of?"

"Is that all this is to you?" he asked coldly.

"What else could it be?" she shot back.

lan gritted his teeth. "Are you saying that no matter who it was last night, you'd still end up getting the short end of the stick?"

"I can't give you an answer to something that didn't happen,” she responded bluntly.

Perhaps, even in her hallucinations, she would still be able to tell that it was lan. Or perhaps she'd mistake just anyone for lan.

"I wasn't inthe right frame of mind,

so I havemo idea how I'd react. But

don't wrty. If I do end up cheating

on yot; I won't tell a single sou We

candust keep this a secret afd

To hell with that! lan was about to lose it. He felt like nothing more than a dildo. Just then, his phone rang. He excused himself and stepped out onto

the hotel balcony to answer it.

Sage grimaced and noticed a towel at the end of the bed. She took it and wrapped it around herself. She felt her legs go weak, and her thighs ached

when she tried to get out of bed.

Sage had only taken a few steps before she was lifted into the air. She yelped in surprise. lan had somehow returned to the room and was now lifting

her in his arms.

legs.

"What are you looking at? Put me down!" she growled, clutching the towel.

His gaze was dark and unfathomable. "At this rate, it'll take you half an hour just to get to the bathroom."

"Can you manage on your own, or should I give you a hand?" lan asked huskily as soon as her feet touched the ground in the bathroom.
