Tiana was standing in front of the camera. Behind her, her husband had his head lowered as he looked at the documents in his hands.
It wasn’t quite a group photo, but Tiana was smiling happily.
Sage couldn’t bring herself to disrupt Tiana’s sweet holiday. After thinking about it, Sage sent a message to Priscilla.
“Mrs. Xenith, do you have time this afternoon? Would you like to go for a full- body spa day?
“I’m not trying to rush you about the matter with Mimosa. I just heard that there’s a newly opened beauty salon which is quite decent. I want to invite you to try it out with me.”
Sage felt that it would be too sudden to tell Priscilla straight away, but she would feel bad if she didn’t say it. So, she wanted to see how Priscilla felt about
Benjamin before deciding on her next step.
After a while, Priscilla replied, “Sure.”
Sage sighed in relief. After settling on a time with Priscilla, she sent her the address of the beauty salon.
Just then, Wanda served lunch.
“Let’s eat together, Wanda. There’s just the two of us, anyway,” Sage invited her.
Wanda felt that Sage had gotten friendlier and more casual than before, so she didn’t decline
“Mrs. Holcomb, Mr. Holcomb had spent the whole night on the couch last night. When he went out this morning, I heard him coughing a little. I wonder if he caught a cold,” Wanda said.
Sage simply gave an “Oh” before enjoying the meal.
Wanda fell silent. She had a feeling that Sage didn’t care about Ian that much anymore, but she had no idea why.

Wanda continued, “Mrs. Holcomb, why don’t you call Mr. Holcomb and ask him to come home early? This morning, Mrs. Holcomb Senior asked that you make sure Mr. Holcomb drinks his herbal soups.”
It would be quite an interesting task to make sure that lan drank his herbal soups. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Wanda, is the herbal soup ready?” Sage asked.
Wanda nodded. “I’ve placed it over low heat on the stove, so Mr. Holcomb can drink it whenever he likes after he comes back.”
“Let’s not wait for him to come back,” Sage said. “Herbal soup is only effective if you take it on time. Wanda, please put some in a container. I’ll deliver it to lan!”
Sage would pass by Holcomb Corporation on the way to the beauty salon. She had quite some time to kill before she met up with Priscilla, so she felt that she could watch Ian’s expressions while she was at it.
Ian might feel so embarrassed that he would want to sign the divorce agreement in a fit of rage.
Wanda felt very comforted when she heard Sage’s words. She thought that she was looking too much into it and that Sage still cared a lot about Ian.
After the meal, Sage drove to Holcomb Corporation.
Sage was holding the container of herbal soup and was about to enter the building when she saw a man walking in her direction.
His hair was combed back, and he was wearing branded clothing. He was dressed up just like an idol.
Sage knew him. He was Calvin.
Calvin was two years younger than Ian, and Sage heard that he had idolized Ian since young.
Ian was dissatisfied with Sage, so Calvin also refused to acknowledge Sage as
Ian’s wife.
Sage felt that she was not obliged to humor people who didn’t acknowledge her.

Hence, she looked up and decided that she would pretend to be a stranger.
Of course, Calvin spotted Sage as well.
He was waiting for Sage to greet him enthusiastically, just like before.
But in the end, Sage kept walking without even sparing him a glance.
Sage was about to walk past him when Calvin let out a loud cough.
Sage heard it, but she hastily stayed away from him as if she didn’t want to catch the virus. She decided to walk around him instead.
Calvin was speechless.
“What are you doing here?” In the end, Calvin stopped Sage.
When he noticed the container in her hands, Calvin snorted. “You’re going to pester lan again, huh? He’s very busy, so he doesn’t have time for you!
“Sage, you can’t force someone to like you. Can’t you fall for someone else and set lan free?”
