A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 273
Ian didn't tell her what it was right away. Instead, he said, "Don't take my father's words to heart. He's never pleased with anyone. it's not just you."Sage chuckled. "Is that so? I think he's quite pleased with Ivy."He remained stoic. "Uncle Ron used to be the steward of Holcomb Estate. My father trusts him, so he's got a soft spot for Ivy.""That's none of my business." she sneered. "After all, I won't be his daughter-in-law anymore starting tomorrow. What exactly were you going to say?"Ian stopped beating around the bush and brought up the issue in Colville. Sage's attention was instantly piqued.Ian explained that he stopped by the police station to gather some information before he went to the hospital the day before yesterday."Terry looked into it, and it turns out that those two guys were just regular street racers who used to zoom around town with their crew. "That day, they took a shortcut through the pedestrian street for a race. I've given all relevant informati

"No matter what I do, you are always the one in the right. Ian Holcomb, don't you think that is worse than suggesting divorce yourself?"Ian's dark gaze landed on Sage. "I told you I'd attempt to meet your demands in the future. Besides, you clearly have feelings for me. We're not at the point of no return.""I'll admit that the feelings I've developed for you over the years won't just disappear overnight, but those feelings aren't enough to keep me going," she said."I'm exhausted, Ian. I genuinely don't want to be a part of your life anymore. If you have even an ounce of guilt or feelings for me, please sign the divorce agreement as soon as possible."Ian gazed at her for a moment when he heard that. He then tossed the tube of ointment that was in his pocket at her before walking away."What were you and Ian talking about? Did you guys fight?" Layla walked over while Sage stood in a daze. "What brings you here?" Sage twisted open the ointment.Layla took a seat beside her and

Sage's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. All of a sudden, she recalled the huge order Delilah had mentioned. Previously, her grandfather had warned her uncle about it. But because she had been accompanying her grandfather in Colville for the past few days, she had forgotten about it. Could Layla be referring to the order from the Strombergs? Sage rose to her feet abruptly and told Layla, "Let's talk about your matters later. I need to find Uncle Owen now."With that, she went and found Owen. He was engaged in a lively conversation with Ian's relatives, and he had a smug look on his face. Sage apologized for interrupting them before pulling her uncle aside."What on earth are you doing, Sage? This is not how we do things." Owen was displeased.Sage asked, "Uncle Owen, did the Strombergs introduce you to a big business deal recently?"Owen's face lit up when he heard that. "Oh, so you've heard about it! Lovell's such a nice guy. He still remembers the favors our family di

Sage felt a little awkward. She wasn't afraid that others would find out about their divorce. However, it was Linda's birthday after all. It was a joyous occasion, and she didn't want to ruin it for everyone. Moreover, her uncle and aunt had always been against the idea, so she didn't want to cause any more problems. Moreover, she had just snapped at Leo a few hours ago, stating that she would get a divorce with Ian soon. However, her aunt unexpectedly started talking about having children in front of him. Sage figured she must've seemed hypocritical in Leo's eyes."Dad, didn't I tell you that Sage just blurted that out in the heat of the moment?" Ian said calmly before Sage could respond."As their elder, shouldn't you encourage them to reconcile when they disagree? How could you say something like that?" Linda added reproachfully."Grandma, I—""Don't mind him, Sage. He's always been this annoying," Linda cut Sage off.Leo didn't utter a single word after that. After all, it

"No way. As long as you don't find me annoying, Grandma, I'll definitely drop by more often to see you."It was just one night, anyway. Sage didn't mind staying one last night. Plus, she meant it when she said she would come to see Linda in the future. However, Linda wasn't pleased when she heard that. She asked as if she had already known, "Did Leo give you a hard time again this afternoon? I know you're a well-mannered young lady, and that you wouldn't have shut him down."Sage was touched when she realized just how much Linda understood and trusted her. She couldn't bear the thought of leaving Linda behind. "I wouldn't exactly call it a hard time. After all, I was at fault, too," she said.Linda didn't press any further and asked Sage to accompany her to her bedroom. Josephine took out a box from the safe and handed it to Linda before she left the room. Linda opened it and took out a necklace. It was made of platinum and had a beautiful emerald pendant."Sage, I wanted you t

Sage turned over and realized Ian had walked up to her at some point and was currently pointing out the flaws in the contract. His long arm almost touched her nose as he gestured at the computer screen. She couldn't help but catch a whiff of the cedarwood and alcohol on him."Don't look at me. Look at the contract." Ian turned her head with his hand. Sage rolled her eyes when she noticed his tone and actions were like those of a teacher teaching his apprentice. However, she didn't protest and turned her attention back to the contract.The problems he pointed out made her feel as if a light bulb had been switched on in her head. They were all difficult issues to spot, but he was able to point them out at a glance. No wonder he was able to manage Holcomb Corporation so well. Ian really was capable.Sage was able to identify and correct the problems in the contract under Ian's guidance. She then sent the revised contract to her uncle. Sage stretched after she was done. She was exha

However, Ian was nowhere to be found when she reached downstairs. Sage called him, assuming that he was at the office, but his phone was powered off. She also couldn't get through to Terry's phone.She eventually called the secretary's office at Holcomb Corporation and learned that Ian and Terry had gone on a business trip to deal with an emergency. Even the secretary had no idea when they would return.Sage thought it was a huge coincidence that Ian was away on business on the day they were supposed to get the divorce certificate. She couldn't help but feel like Ian had done it on purpose, but she also knew that Ian wasn't the kind of person who would come up with an excuse like that just to avoid getting a divorce.Mulling it over, she decided to unblock Ian and send him a message. "Why'd you go on a business trip all of a sudden, Ian? Please don't tell me you're going back on your word.""When will you be back? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"Sage was aware that she would

Shane was a pain to deal with, and Sage didn't want to waste her breath on him. Hence, she cut to the chase and asked, "Fine. When are you free?"Shane responded, "How about tomorrow? I'll give you two days to deal with the contract and work.""You're not going to embarrass me in public or set me up for something, are you?" she couldn't help but ask she noticed Shane's mischievous smile.He grinned. "Anyhow, you've agreed to it, so you'll have to jump even if there's a trap ahead."In the afternoon, Sage swung by Collin's research institution to sign the contract. Then, she headed back to Farsight Investment to meet up with Shane."Alright, since we're all done, let's get celebrating!" He appeared to be in a good mood.Sage politely turned him down. "It's alright. We'll have plenty of opportunities to celebrate in the future.""But that's that, and this is this," he said. "I've already canceled all my plans for the day. You're coming with me, whether you like it or not.""Are y

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
