A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 184
"Sage Joyner, did you just call me stupid?" Ian couldn't help but lose his temper because of her constant nitpicking."Are you sure you're not stupid? After all, you can't even handle such a simple task," Sage said.It seemed like the old her had thought of Ian as overly perfect and capable. If she had discovered his clumsiness earlier, she might not have liked him as much.He snatched the rolling pin back from her when he noticed her shaking her head and sighing again. He ordered, "Stay out of it! I'll do it!"Sage rolled her eyes. Ian was still as competitive as ever. Ian was the kind of person who couldn't handle minor setbacks."Fine. I'll be waiting for your results then." Sage removed her apron. "Do you need me to tie it for you too?"Ian looked at him coldly to express his disdain. However, Sage didn't push it. Instead, she told him that since Wanda wasn't home, if he soiled his clothes he'd have to wash them himself. Then, she folded her hands, leaned back, and watched as

His hand roamed across her supple back. Her skin was smooth and delicate as it was the finest, most lustrous aventurine. Ian felt the flames of desire inside him grow stronger with each passing second. Initially, he wanted to punish her, but he couldn't restrain his desires any longer. His hand slid from her back to her chest.Sage squirmed and desperately tried to avoid his hand. However, Ian's strength was astonishing, and she couldn't use any of her boxing or kickboxing techniques in this position.Sage was no match for Ian, so she had no choice but to endure the discomfort and press her body against his chest. Even though this brought them closer together, she managed to avoid his wandering hands.His kiss softened just a touch, probably because he sensed her submission. Sage seized the opportunity and bit down hard on his lips. Ian let out a muffled groan in pain.She expected him to flip out and push her away. But to her surprise, he seemed aroused by the unexpected act. In

Sage wondered why Linda was in such a good mood despite the savory news. After hanging up the phone, she looked at the messy kitchen and immediately arranged for a cleaner to come and take care of it. It was such a shame that Wanda was off today.A woman who treated herself as a housekeeper as well would only end up with endless chores. Sage couldn't be bothered to be a virtuous wife who did all the work herself. She would rather take a nice bath and wash away the stench of that filthy man.…Meanwhile, Ian received a video call from his grandmother while he was in the study."Ian, what happened to your lips? It looks like it's bleeding," Linda asked, concerned.Ian wiped away the blood and replied perfunctorily, "It's nothing. I just accidentally bit it."However, Linda smiled knowingly when she heard that. "Sage bit you, didn't she?"Ian narrowed his eyes when he thought of what had happened earlier. Sage had bitten both his lips and his tongue. He had just checked. She had

Sage was perplexed. "What are you on about? I just sent you some rough information.""Cut the act," he teased. "Ian seems to be treating you well. He doesn't look like he's going to dump you.""Mr. Morrison, could you just get to the point?"Shane crossed his legs and said lazily, "I just got word that Professor Braun has decided that you'll be in charge of their drug promotion and distribution."Sage was stunned. "How's that possible? Are you sure?"She had just met with Collin yesterday, and he clearly wanted to work with Holcomb Corporation. Besides, Ivy also went to negotiate with them. How could he have decided to hand the project over to her after just one day?Shane snorted. "My sources are never wrong. Either Ian cares a lot about you, or he's giving you this as compensation because he's going to dump you."Sage couldn't be bothered to respond. Instead, she asked, "How's the thing I asked you to do?" She realized that they would need to expedite the matter if Collin real

He frowned when he heard that. Ivy was usually graceful and composed. Why was she so emotional today?"How should I know?" Ian retorted.Ivy was green with jealousy when she noticed his indifference and the wound on his lip. However, she simply started weeping."Ian, do you remember when my mother was seriously ill? I was a wreck, and I practically begged for someone to develop a drug to cure her illness. At the time, you consoled me and said if there were such a miracle drug, you'd definitely buy it for me." Her eyes dimmed. "Even though the drug developed by Professor Braun isn't the cure to my mother's illness, I still want to bring it to the market to fill the void in my heart."It dawned on Ian that Ivy's insistence on getting this project stemmed from her mother. Even though he couldn't remember much about what had happened when they were young, he did recall Ivy grieving for a long time after her mother passed away."Ian, Sage doesn't necessarily need this project. You co

"Forget it. Something came up," she said coolly."What the hell happened?" Henry fumed. "Didn't you say that he adored his granddaughter the most? He'd hand over the distribution rights without a fuss and agree to cancel the investment deal with Holcomb Corporation as long as we threatened him a little."Her expression darkened. "This matter is already set in stone. It can't be changed. If we make another move, we'll arouse suspicion from others. All we can do is switch to another project.""Well, you'd better hurry up and find one! I need to prove my worth with a successful career, or Layla won't give me the time of day!""Didn't you brag about how skilled you are with women? I thought you said no woman could resist your charm. It's been days, and you've made zero progress. Yet, here you are, making demands. Do you think I'm a fool?" she sneered as she listened to his demands."Of course not! I just need to work on a project to help you achieve your goals. Women these days have b

Sage couldn't help but remind him, "Mr. Morrison, I'm the one who's divorcing Ian, not the other way around.""Aren't you giving up on him because he doesn't love you back?" Shane asked mercilessly. "Sure, you might see yourself as ' moving on', but let's face it. It's no different from being dumped by him."Sage was rendered speechless. …In the evening, Tiana, the busy bee, finally had some time to spare. "Sage, I heard about this awesome new bar. Let's go get a drink, and you can perform your special drum solo for me!"Tiana added before Sage could respond, "You promised me, so you can't go back on your word now!"Sage agreed reluctantly. "Sure thing. It's just a drum solo."The girls met up at the bar. The first floor was a large open hall with some seating scattered around, while the second floor had private booths. There was a massive stage in front of the entrance on the first floor. When they entered, someone was performing on it, adding an electric air to the atmospher

Two young men pushed a cart over to them. The cart was adorned with bright red roses, and next to them were various liquors and bartending tools. Each of them held a bouquet in their hands. When they reached Sage and Tiana, they got down on one knee and gave them a bouquet each. "Your majesties, I hope you'll have a delightful evening here tonight."Sage found their cheesy words amusing. "Thanks," she said as she accepted the flowers.Tiana also accepted the bouquet. She smiled as she said, "These guys are professional bartenders who have participated in competitions. They are here to whip up cocktails for us!""Ohh, and here I thought you had arranged for some hunks to keep us company," Sage joked softly."I figured it wouldn't be the best idea since we're both married and all."Tiana suggested, "Why don't I get some hunks to drink with you now?"Sage pretended to ponder for a moment. "Forget it. Though you could find me a bunch once I'm divorced.""Would a bunch be enough? I

Ian said calmly, "I just got back from a business trip and came by to check on Sage."Giselle didn't ask more questions. She explained to Sage, "I just saw Selena over there. I went to her and clarified that this was my idea. Selena said it was okay."Seeing Selena's calm and relaxed demeanor, Sage didn't have the energy to pretend to be friendly with her.She said to Giselle, "I'm going back to the ward," and then headed to the elevator.Ian was at her heels. "Sage, if you're too tired, just lean on me."Sage stayed silent and didn't respond to Ian, just staring blankly at the numbers on the elevator panel.In the hospital room, Tiana had been waiting for Sage for a while.Seeing Ian, Tiana was equally surprised and asked, "What are you doing at the hospital? Weren't you on a business trip away from town?"Ian succinctly said, "I came back once the task was done."Tiana looked at Sage. "How did it go?"Sage nodded numbly. "Pretty good."Tiana could tell from Sage's expressi

Sage paused slightly in her steps and turned to look at Shane. Her voice was slightly hoarse as she asked, "Is there anything else?"Shane felt an indescribable discomfort as he watched Sage's unsteady appearance.But he didn't know why he had to call out to Sage, especially since he didn't remember anything about her."Since you say we are good friends, and I got hurt because of you, why can't you visit me more often?" Shane questioned, finding a reason.“Sorry, she won't be available.”As soon as Shane finished speaking, the door to the hospital room was suddenly pushed open.Sage turned her head and saw Ian's tall, upright figure.He was wearing a custom-tailored black suit, looking like he had rushed over from somewhere, carrying an air of exhaustion.Ian had been on a business trip for the past two days. Why did he suddenly show up now?Sage glanced toward the doorway but didn't see any signs of Giselle.Sage had a faint guess about who was behind this. She gave a self-d
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 882
Shane's thought process was quite logical.Sage calmly replied, "You were worried that she was only momentarily taking a step back, so you couldn't fully trust her and wanted to observe for a while."Shane also mentioned that when Sage came to the hospital room two days ago, the way she spoke to him was very familiar. It wasn't like how typical business partners would interact.Sage admitted that they were not just business partners but had become good friends through their interactions."But I wouldn't take a good friend to my mother's grave," Shane suddenly said.Sage was taken aback upon hearing this. Had Giselle told Shane about this, too?Seeing Shane looking at her, Sage calmed herself. "You were deceiving Giselle."It's not just this, but also some of our daily interactions. You embellished the details and even went out of your way to act nice to me in front of her."Shane indeed did that before. Sage wasn't at all diffident to talk about it.Shane could see it, too. "S

Taking a deep breath, Sage knocked on the hospital room door.Giselle walked over, glanced down the hallway, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What took you so long? Where did you go?"Sage forced a smile. "There were a lot of people waiting for the elevator."Giselle saw how broken and fragile Sage looked. Thinking she was worried about meeting Shane alone, she couldn't help but gently pat her on the shoulder."It's okay. Take your time talking with Shane. If Selena returns, I'll tell her that everything was my idea."Sage didn't have the energy to explain further to Giselle. She simply said thank you and then walked into the hospital room.Shane sat upright at the head of his bed, dressed in a hospital gown, with bandages still on his head.His handsome face looked a bit thinner than before. Under the hospital room's lighting, he had the delicate appearance of a frail young nobleman.Shane was also quietly observing Sage as she walked over.She had a slender and delicate

Selena nodded. "It's understandable, Ms. Joyner. However, before you go to see Shane, could you take a moment to hear me out?"Sage was aware that Selena had been deliberately waiting for her.Sage sent a message to Giselle saying she would be a few minutes late, and then followed Selena to the stairwell beyond the emergency exit.The stairwell was brightly lit, with gleaming floors and an overall quietness that inexplicably added a sense of oppression.Sage asked, "Ms. Morrison, what do you want to talk to me about?"As soon as she finished speaking, Selena suddenly knelt down in front of her."Ms. Morrison, what are you doing?"Sage hurriedly went to help Selena, but the injuries on her back hadn’t fully healed yet. The movement caused her wounds to hurt, and she winced in pain, furrowing her brow."Ms. Joyner, please don't help me up. Let me finish speaking."Selena's face showed determination, and her almond-shaped eyes, similar to Shane's, had a hint of tears."I know Sh

Since Giselle already knew, Sage didn't deny it. She asked directly, "So what do you think? Are you planning to go abroad with Shane?""Do you even need to ask? Of course I'm not going!"Giselle was somewhat annoyed. "Nothing's going on between Shane and me! Why would they suddenly want me to go abroad with him?""But your brother thinks this is a good opportunity for Shane to develop feelings for you," Tiana said.Sage also shared Marcus' analysis with Giselle. "Your brother hopes that you and Shane will end up together in the end. If you still have some feelings for Shane, this could be a good opportunity.""I couldn't care less about such an opportunity!" Giselle said. "No matter how much I liked Shane, that's all in the past now."I'm not a martyr. I would never degrade myself just to win a man's affection. Besides, even if I gave him everything, what I might get in return could be resentment, not love.""Giselle, you are truly wise and perceptive!" Tiana couldn't help but s

"However, Elle has become more thoughtful and no longer acts willfully now. I believe that Shane will change his opinion of her."With them spending so much time together, there's a high chance that Shane will develop feelings for Elle."Sage fell silent. People were naturally fragile when they were alone and were easily moved by the care and warmth shown by others, especially considering they would be in a foreign country.Therefore, it seemed highly likely that what Marcus mentioned could happen."Even though my parents agreed to dissolve Elle's engagement, they are quite satisfied with Shane. They watched Shane grow up and know him well."If our two families could be united through marriage, it would be a joyous occasion for everyone."Ms. Joyner, I know that Shane likes you, but he has currently forgotten you. You also understand that it is very difficult for the two of you to be together."Even if Elle didn't accompany him for the treatment abroad, Mr. Morrison Senior would

Marcus put down the gift he was holding and said tactfully, "I've heard about your situation from Elle. I just visited Shane, and I thought I'd drop by to see you as well."Sage thanked Marcus and invited him to sit down. Then, unable to hold back, Sage asked, "How is Shane doing? Is he okay?"Because Shane didn't remember her, and the Morrison family wouldn't allow her to visit, Sage hadn't been able to see Shane in person for the past couple of days.Marcus said, "He's doing okay, more or less. He has multiple injuries, and his hand and leg are not very functional. On top of that, he frequently gets headaches, and his mood is quite unstable.""He probably remembered you, right?" Sage asked intentionally.She could definitely guess that Shane remembered Marcus. However, she wanted to know if Shane still harbored the same hostility toward Marcus.Instead of asking directly because it didn't seem appropriate, she decided to ask a different question instead.Marcus knew what Sage

George acknowledged her with a slight nod, while Simon asked bluntly, "What are you here for?""I heard Shane has woken up and came to check on him," Sage said honestly.Simon's tone was stern as he said, "Ms. Joyner, you should be aware of the current situation with Shane.""We won't hold what happened between you and Shane against you anymore, but we hope you'll stop bothering him in the future and completely cut ties with him."Before Sage could speak, Giselle's voice rang out. "Mr. George, Simon!"Seeing Giselle, Simon's attitude softened a bit.George also had a kind smile on his face. "Have you come to see Shane, Elle?"You see, even though Shane has forgotten so many things, he remembers everything about you very clearly. That shows he still cares about you," joked George.Giselle glanced at Sage and replied with a hint of playfulness, "Mr. George, you really shouldn't joke with me like this."Shane hasn't completely lost his memory, so it's perfectly normal for him to
