A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 205

Then, she spotted lan’s car approaching. Sage ran over to it, ignoring Shane, who was “in pain “, and Giselle, who was in tears. She swung open the car door and slipped inside without

hesitation.

Ian was glancing at the entrance with a hardened expression. Sage figured he must’ve seen Shane standing in her way. However, she didn’t feel the need to explain herself to him.

After all, he was much closer to Ivy and never explained himself to her. So why should she bother?

“Let’s go,” she said to the driver.

The driver turned to look at Ian and waited for his instructions. Ian shifted his attention to the driver and nodded at him. He then asked, “Why did you meet up with Shane again?”

“Don’t even start,” she scoffed. “Why can’t I meet with him? It isn’t my problem that Shane don’t get along.”

Ian was taken aback. “Sage, can’t you tone down your attitude and have a normal conversation with me?”

“Oh, sorry honey, but I’m very petty. I can’t have a civilized conversation with you.”

Sure enough, she wasn’t coquettish like she was on the phone when she was in the car with him. Ian decided not to dwell on this subject anymore. Instead, he said, “So what just happened? Did Shane

give you a hard time?”

Regardless, Ian did save the day, so she didn’t snap at him. “It was just a minor issue. No big deal.”

Shane had called her over to be his human shield. However, he still had something she needed, so she couldn’t afford to turn against him.

“By the way, why’d you call?” she asked.

Ian could tell Sage wasn’t telling the truth. He was also aware that, even if he pressed her, she wouldn’t tell him if she didn’t want to. He suppressed his discomfort and asked, “How’s your shoulder? I hope you didn’t strain it just now.”

“I didn’t,” Sage responded. She didn’t even drive to the restaurant. Moreover, she greatly valued her life, so she wouldn’t disobey the doctor’s advice. “Is that it?” she asked, confused.

“I’m sure my grandmother has told you that my father will be returning to Haldon soon,” he said.

Sage nodded. “Yeah, she did. Why? Is he arriving today?”

“He’ll arrive in a couple of days,” Ian responded. “He’s not used to living in Holcomb Manor, and Holcomb Estate has been inhabited for ages. There’s just a housekeeper there, so we might need to go over and sort things out.”

Realization dawned on Sage. “I’ll pass,” she responded. “I’ve never met Mr. Holcomb Senior, and I don’t know his preferences. I wouldn’t be much help. Besides, my shoulder’s killing me. I don’t feel like running around.”

“So your

shoulder doesn’t hurt when you meet up with Shane, but it hurts when you go to Holcomb Estate?”

“Of course, it hurts! That’s why I need to go home and get some rest.” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Ian’s expression darkened. He then questioned, “What did you just call my father?”

“Mr. Holcomb Senior! Isn’t he the chairman of Holcomb Corp?” Sage realized what she had just said. “Don’t worry. I’ll still call him ‘Dad‘ until we get divorced.”

“Divorce,

, divorce. That’s all she ever talks about,” he brooded.

“My grandmother’s birthday is just around the corner, Sage. Could you please refrain from mentioning that word? It’s upsetting.”

Sage realized it wasn’t a good time for rumors of their divorce to spread. Linda had also said that Leo wouldn’t be home for long.
