as soon as he walked into the master bedroom, he noticed that a lot of Sage's belongings were missing. Most of the bottles and jars on the vanity were gone, along with her frequently worn headband and the peculiar lights she used to illuminate her face. All of them had disappeared without a trace.

The dressing room, which had once been filled with bright and beautiful dresses, was now considerably barren. The shelves that used to hold her shoes and handbags were also empty. That hollow feeling washed over him once again.

Ian had been busy all day in Morita and hadn't gotten much rest on the plane either. He was exhausted. He flopped down on the bed where Sage's scent lingered on the pillows and blankets.

Ian thought about the past few days in Morita. He was worried that he would lose control and devour Sage whole if he slept with her at night.

If that happened, she'd be furious and run back to Haldon. So, he forced himself to sleep in a separate room. He regretted it now.

    "What are you doing?" Sage frowned. Her voice was slightly hoarse, and it made Ian's heart skip a beat. He cleared his throat and straightened up calmly. "We've arrived at Grandma's place. I was just about to wake you up.""Oh." Sage didn't think anything of it. She looked out the window and saw that they were indeed at Holcomb Manor. Then, she stretched and asked in confusion, "Where's Ralph?"Ian didn't answer her question. Instead, he turned around and said, "Let's get out."The couple walked together into the sitting room, where Linda was already waiting for them. When Linda spotted Sage, she grabbed her hand affectionately and said she had worked hard. She also said that Sage looked a little worn out. Throughout lunch, Linda kept urging Sage to eat more, while Ian was left out. Ian had to leave after lunch. Sage was feeling much better, so she stayed behind to chat with Linda.…Meanwhile, Calvin was waiting for Ian inside the CEO's office of Holcomb Corporation. "Why are

    Ian glanced at Calvin. "She has threatened me with similar excuses more times than I can count. If it could've had such a huge impact, wouldn't it have happened already?"Calvin was about to respond, but Ian had already risen to his feet. "Let me know as soon as you have the results. I've got a meeting to attend." Calvin then found himself alone in the CEO's office.…Sage had just walked out of Holcomb Manor when she received a call from Shane. He told her that he was going to return to Haldon and asked her to pick him up at the airport tomorrow."Do you not have a driver, or do you not know how to call an Uber? Why are you asking me to pick you up?"Shane snorted. "If it weren't for me, you would've been in trouble last time. So, you owe me a favor, and you have to repay it."Exasperated, she asked, "Let me guess… Giselle knows you're coming back, and she's going to pick you up?""She doesn't know the flight details, but there are only two flights a day from Morita to Haldon,

    Perhaps her gaze was too intense, but Giselle turned over and looked in her direction. The smile on Giselle's face stiffened when their eyes met. "Ms. Joyner, what a coincidence! Are you here to pick Shane up as well?" Giselle walked over to her without hesitation.Sage wasn't sure how she should treat Giselle. Before she went abroad, Shane intentionally created a lot of misunderstandings and even went to Morita in search of her. She figured Giselle must hate her.Sage had already explained that nothing was going on between her and Shane, and she even tried to persuade Giselle to give up on Shane the last time he tricked her into going to the restaurant and meeting Giselle. However, it was clear that Giselle did not want to give up on Shane.Sage could only maintain her composure in the face of Giselle's accusatory tone. "I owe Shane a favor. He used it to coerce me into picking him up. Would you believe that?"Giselle abruptly raised her voice and shouted, "You don't have to rem

    "Shanie…" Giselle called out timidly.Shane slammed the door shut. "What the hell is going on, Sage Joyner? Why is she here?" It was obvious that Shane was furious. He had even called her by her full name.Sage lied through her teeth, "Ms. Rosethorn's car broke down. She wanted to ride with us. She's your fiancée, after all, so I couldn't just leave her here."Shane was seething with anger. "I know you're just mad at me for not accompanying you back to Haldon! But you promised me you'd divorce Ian. It's been days, and you still haven't filed the paperwork. Of course, I'm going to be upset!" Sage was at a loss for words. She couldn't help but wonder when their "relationship" had gotten to this point. Wasn't he just obsessed with her? "Sage, if you have the guts to say you'll never get a divorce in front of Giselle, I'll give up on you!" Shane was doing this on purpose! There was no way she'd say such a thing!"Quit the act! My divorce has nothing to do with you," Sage snapped wh

    Sage was rendered speechless. Shane was a pro at wining and dining. He effortlessly named a restaurant that wasn't far from where they were that had a great atmosphere and delicious food. Since Sage was starving, so she drove to the restaurant he suggested. After they arrived, Sage handed the keys to the valet and walked into the resplendent lobby with Shane."Mrs. Holcomb?" A waiter had just come over to greet them when a woman's voice came from behind them. Sage turned around and was surprised to see Ivy. She was clad in a professional-looking suit. Beside her were several men in suits, and Ian, who was wearing a black suit. The group had obviously just finished lunch and were descending the stairs. Ian, who had been conversing with the person next to him, looked up when he heard Ivy's voice. His gaze darkened when he noticed Sage and Shane together. "Mr. Morrison, you're here as well. What a coincidence! Are you guys here for lunch?" Ivy greeted Shane as if she were oblivio

    Ian walked up to her and asked, "Did you go to the airport to pick Shane up?""What's it to you?" Sage asked.He looked at her coldly. "Did you take up the chauffeur position at Farsight?"Sage was at a loss for words. Who was he mocking here? Just then, a waiter walked in with the appetizers. Sage ignored Ian, picked up her cutlery, and started to eat.He was annoyed by her reaction or rather her lack thereof. "If you're not his chauffeur, why did you drive him to the private restaurant the other day? And why did you go to the airport to pick him up today? "Is it because Farsight doesn't have any other chauffeurs, or is it because you've taken a liking to him? Did you forget that you were married? Is spending more time with him all that's on your mind?"Sage raised her head and smiled. "That's right. Since you have such a clear understanding of my intentions, let's get a divorce as soon as possible."Ian was rendered speechless for a moment. Then, his demeanor and tone turned

    Ian nodded slightly and walked into the elevator. Ivy tightened her grip on her phone and walked toward another elevator.…Calvin was already there when Ian arrived at his office. The former wasted no time and handed the latter a folder. "Ian, I found out that Mrs. Holcomb's friend, Delilah Stromberg, has secretly been in touch with Ivy. Here are their call records and some photos from a café."Ian took the folder and looked through its contents. Just like Calvin had said, the folder contained call logs and several screenshots from the surveillance footage. "Were there any financial dealings?" he asked.Calvin shook his head. "I had someone look into it but couldn't find any. Ms. Stromberg has been spending a lot on designer shoes and bags lately. Plus, it's all from her own pocket."Mrs. Holcomb used to gift her those," he explained. "But she and Mrs. Holcomb had some kind of fallout recently. Mrs. Holcomb seems to have blocked her phone number as well."Oh, and Ms. Stromberg's

    Sage turned him down without a second thought. "No thanks. I'd rather buy my own place."Calvin scratched his head as he could tell Sage wasn't in the mood to chat. "Mrs. Holcomb, although Ian and I are close, when it comes to your relationship, Ms. Ford and I are both rooting for you!" Sage found it amusing that Calvin had to emphasize that he was on the same page as Tiana when he expressed his support. "You wouldn't have a thing for Tiana, would you?" she couldn't help but ask.Calvin hurriedly said, "Oh, hell no, Mrs. Holcomb. Ms. Ford and I are just friends who hit it off right away. I would never have a thing for her!" Sage didn't think Tiana would have a thing for men like him either."Mrs. Holcomb, while I support your decision, if you think Ian doesn't care about you and you're only considering divorce out of spite, I'd still like to stand up for him. He does care about you. He's just not very good at showing it," Calvin added."Calvin really is Ian's close friend," she

    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

    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
