A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 23
Terry found himself regretting his decision.Ian had worked overtime till the wee hours of the morning. He proceeded to spend the entire day wearing nothing but a poker face. It was clear that he was in a bad mood.Would Terry be making things worse for Ian by bringing up Sage's shopping spree at this time?"Get your ass over here right now if you want to talk to me about something!" Ian grumbled impatiently.Terry had no choice but to walk over to Ian. There, he tapped on the messaging app cautiously and displayed the horde of messages.Ian shot a glance at the screen, soon noticing the automated messages sent by various mall-based stores. There were purchases that exceeded hundreds of thousands of dollars, but there were also purchases showcasing only triple digits. All of these messages were sent from jewelry and apparel stores which were frequented by ladies.At that moment, a new message popped up on the screen with a loud ding."Thank you for shopping at Gentlemen's Styl

Ian's voice came drifting into Sage's ear when she was in the midst of stomping on the gas pedal. She raised her head immediately, only to find out that Ian was already standing next to her car.Yes, she might be embarrassed because of what happened, but she wasn't so immature to turn down his helping hand at a time like this.Sage pouted as she undid her seatbelt and got out of the driving seat.Ian got into the driving seat and spun the steering wheel around casually. Then, he threw the gear into reverse and slammed his foot onto the gas pedal. Just like that, he was able to back the tire out of the pit effortlessly.Soon, he got out of the driving seat. "You can continue practicing now."Sage pouted once again as she got back into the seat. The moment she buckled her seatbelt, she was surprised to see Ian getting into the front passenger seat."What are you doing here?" she demanded with a frown.Ian shot Sage a glance. Instead of answering her question, he asked, "Why did yo

It sounded as though a drunkard had just crashed into the wall after losing their balance.That thought weirded Sage out. Wanda and Ian were the only ones staying in Solaris Estate. None of them would ever drink.The next thing she knew, her room door was flung open from the outside with a loud click.Ian actually stumbled into the room afterward. He staggered about like he was about to keel over at any given moment. His cheeks were unnaturally flushed, with sweat beading on his forehead. Even the corners of his eyes were unusually red.Sage's instincts screamed at her that something was wrong. She closed her laptop with the intention of kicking Ian out of her room."Did you drink alcohol?" she asked as she opened the door. "Wan—mmph!"Before Sage could call out Wanda's name, she felt intense pain prickling from her lips. It turned out that Ian had just captured her lips with his own."You—"Shocked, Sage tried to push Ian away, but he responded by kissing her passionately.Ia

"I don't care about the beginning and the end of my life. Life goes on for me as usual. I'll forever cherish all three meals every day, and I'll also remember to be kind throughout the seasons of life. The best moment will come to me on the best day with the nicest weather where someone finally joins me on my walkway of life."There was a photo of a fancy spread decked out on the table below the post. Next to it was a selfie of Ivy's side profile.The photos and the tagline made it seem like Ivy was just posting about her daily life in an artistic way. But those who were observant enough would notice a small section of a man's arm being revealed in a corner of Ivy's selfie.It was evident that the man was wearing a dress shirt. The watch he wore might not be eye-catching, but it came from a luxury brand.Sage was very familiar with the watch. In fact, it was one of the watches Ian often wore.It turned out that Ian had been staying with Ivy this whole time.Then again, it wasn't

Sage shot Michael a smile. "I've just registered for a kickboxing class."Delight fleeted across Michael's expression. "What a coincidence! I'm a trainer who specializes in kickboxing!"It really was a coincidence.Sage thought the next time she'd meet Michael would be at a business meeting where they'd negotiate about the collaboration. She didn't expect to see him so soon."I guess I'll be seeing more of you in the future," Sage said smilingly. "Have fun working. I'll be leaving now.""Wait, miss!" Michael called out."What is it?" Sage asked.Michael offered shyly, "I don't know how to repay you for the kindness you've shown me back then. Why don't I treat you to a cup of joe?"Sage just smiled while shaking her head. "Perhaps next time. I don't want to take up your time since you're working at the moment.""It's fine. Actually, I'm about to get off work," Michael said hurriedly.He had a youthful face, to begin with. The sight of him looking so anxious made him seem like

It turned out that Delilah had sent Sage a barrage of text messages. There were photos and video clips as well as audio recordings in those messages.Sage decided to look at the photos first. Delilah had snapped a photo of the apartment's exterior where Ivy stayed. Next came a photo of Ivy's front door.Since the video clip spanned for a few minutes, Sage decided to listen to the audio recordings next."Sage, I've already taught I-bitch a lesson on your behalf! I can't just sit back and watch you suffer from more grievances!"The moment the recording ended, Sage saw Michael approaching the table with the drinks in hand."Miss, here's your rose latte.""Thank you." Sage got up to her feet after accepting the latte. "Something just came up. Sorry, but I have to leave now."Michael was sensible enough to hold his tongue when he noticed Sage's frosty expression. He waved at her politely instead."I'll see you at the sports complex, then.""Alright."Once Sage exited the coffee sh

Sage trailed behind Ian, looking as composed as ever.Soon, Ian sank into the couch in his study. As he tugged his tie off, he said, "I wonder how you'll be able to satisfy me with this solution of yours."Sage handed Ian the two documents."I have two copies of the divorce agreement. One of them states that I'll divorce you without getting any of your assets in return. The other one states that you'll have to pay me 100 million dollars in alimony. "I've already signed both copies of the agreement. Choose whichever copy that has the conditions you want and sign it."Ian raised his head immediately. "100 million dollars?"Businessmen were all money-minded, as expected. Ian's first reaction was to mentally complain about the absurd amount of money he had to pay."Yup," Sage replied. "You promised me ten million dollars back then, but I don't think that's enough for me."Come to think of it, you're the one who wronged me in this marriage. Besides, you're the one who was more eage

Ian was not romantically interested in Sage, but she had an inkling that he was interested in her body.After he had injured her lips that night, she had to suffer for three long days before the injury finally healed.Sage didn't want to argue with Ian. Instead, she asked, "Have you decided on which agreement you'll be signing?""It's difficult for me to make up my mind at this time."Ian grabbed both copies of the divorce agreement as he continued casually, "That's why I've decided to let your grandfather review the conditions of both copies properly. Perhaps he might be able to provide me with a better suggestion.""You don't have to make your choice anymore!" Sage reached out to stop Ian. "I'll just get a clean divorce without any additional payment from you!"Ian looked down at her. "I'm the one who wronged you in this marriage. If we were to take this to court, I'd have to pay you more than 100 million dollars, you know. I don't think your grandfather will want you to lose o

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
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 878
"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
