A Farewell After Being Reborn

"Nothing's wrong. I just want to get some medicine."

"What kind of medication do you need? Let Terry get it and deliver it to the estate.”

Her cheeks burned as she cleared her throat. "It's fine. I'll go get it myself."

lan could roughly guess what she wanted from her reaction. His gaze darkened as he said lowly, "There were condoms in the hotel room."

Sage realized he had taken precautions and was relieved. She couldn't risk another accident after what happened the night before.

His irritation returned as he noticed Sage visibly relaxed. "Didn't you hint to me before that you wanted to have children with me?"

"People’s desires change over time. Let's not dwell on the past,” she responded coolly. lan was at a loss for words.

Then, the couple arrived at Solaris Estate. Sage wanted to open the door and get out, but lan insisted that she stay put. He then opened her door anc

carried her out of the car.

"What do you think you're doing?" Sage was surprised.

"You're too slow," he responded.

Sage was rendered speechless. She thought she was pretty strong since she had been able to deal with so many things after what she had been

through.

Wanda was pleasantly surprised when she noticed lan carrying Sage inside. She hastily gave them some privacy. Sage could only pretend not to

notice as lan carried her upstairs.

Sage used some foundation to cover up the hickeys on her neck, put on some makeup, and changed into a high-collared dress and a chic jacket.

Sage looked much better despite how minute the changes she had made were.

The couple arrived at Holcomb Manor in the middle of the afternoon. lan still wanted to carry Sage out of the car, but she stopped him. "I can manage

on my own."

After all, she didn't want to be the center of attention. Plus, with their impending divorce, she wanted to maintain a low profile. lan pursed his lips and

extended his arm, which Sage did not refuse.

After all, lan was the CEO of Holcomb Corporation. It was only natural for his relatives to come over and say hello.

had alsp read between the lineg, so

he pinched Sage's waist. Sage; who

was already weak, felt her legs give

Way and almost lost her falance.

He reached out and caught her. "Do you feel neglected?"

Sage shook his hand away angrily and responded, "Yes. I can't go on like this for another day!"

"Sage Joyner!" lan wrapped his arms around her and threatened, "If you don't behave yourself, I'll make sure you miss out on dinner altogether!" From NôvelDrama.Org.

Her cheeks burned in an instant. How could this jerk say such suggestive things in front of his relative? Sure enough, his aunt smiled mischievously.

"I'm so glad you guys are so lovey-dovey!"

"I—" Sage was cut off by a stern voice.

"What are you guys doing?"
