"Let go of me!" Sage elbowed Ian's chest and he grunted.

Sage hesitated as she thought about the night in Southbend County when his wound reopened while he was protecting her.

Meanwhile, Ian seized the moment and tightened his arms around her. In a hoarse voice, he said, "Don't fight me, Sage. Give me a chance…"

His hoarse voice, laced with the scent of alcohol, enveloped Sage. It made her heart skip a beat.

She wondered if he was behaving like this because of what she had said earlier about never going back to her ex.

Her senses were overwhelmed by his presence. Uncomfortable, she pushed him away. "Let go of me."

"No. If I do, you'll leave me, and I won't be able to hold you again." His voice was tinged with frustration and desperation. He buried his burning cheeks in her neck and murmured, "I miss you so much, Sage."

He did miss Sage.

Even though they had spent several days together in Southbend County, even though they had just seen each other a few hours ago, even though

    In an instant, his desire became uncontrollable. He held her hand, led it to his throbbing arousal, and rasped, "I miss you so much, Sage. It's driving me crazy…"Her cheeks turned as red as a beet as her hand came into contact with his erection. Sage desperately tried to yank her hand away and fumed. "You pervert!""Sage." His scorching, hot breath grazed her ear. "Give yourself to me. I know you want it just as much."Sage did feel a burning desire within her. She despised her drunk self for being so easily aroused. His hands began to roam, and her body reacted to his touch. Her resistance proved futile, and she found herself giving in, welcoming his advances even. When he sunk his teeth into her neck, Sage cried out in embarrassment, "Stop it, Ian…"Ian lifted his head when he heard her sobs. The burning desire in his eyes made her heart race. His voice was dripping with lust as he asked, "Did I hurt you, Sage? Do you want me to be gentler?"Tears streamed down her flushed

    Sage realized she was in a sorry state from the playful tone and mischievous glint in his eyes. The blouse and suit she was wearing that day had suffered during their makeup session earlier. He had ripped off several of her buttons. Not only was her bra exposed, but there were also visible bite marks on her chest. Sage realized her disheveled appearance was far more embarrassing than being held by him. She gave up and buried her head in his chest. She also tried to cover herself with his jacket. Ian chuckled as he watched her do all that. He then planted a kiss on her head and carried her into the elevator. After the doors closed, he realized something and asked in a low voice, "Which floor is your apartment on?"After she murmured the floor number, he pretended to reach out to press a button before tightening his grip on her hips. Sage could feel his erection pressing firmly against her. "Can't you think of something else?" she asked, embarrassed and angry."Well, what I wan

    "I'm glad Ian didn't waste all my efforts," Calvin said, relieved.Tiana remarked, "You're quite the loyal friend to Ian. I'm surprised you went to such lengths for him""Of course." Calvin felt proud of himself for a moment. "Tiana, do you know what Mrs. Holcomb meant by the wedding gift? I asked Ian, but he wouldn't tell me."She filled him in on the bracelet Ian had designed for Sage. "In my opinion, Sage's feelings for Ian might not be entirely over. Otherwise, she wouldn't accept it, even if she liked it.""That's great!" Calvin exclaimed after hearing that. "I'll have to push Ian to step up his game so he can win Mrs. Holcomb's heart back sooner!"As the two of them gossiped, Tiana couldn't help but feel like this moment called for some drinks and a barbecue. After hanging up the phone, she decided to rush Sage, who was taking a shower, so she could get more insight into her thoughts and feelings. Just then, her phone rang. Her mood immediately soured as she looked at th

    Under Sage's supportive gaze, Tiana answered the phone."Tiana, has Mom called you?" Wilson asked.Instead of answering him, she asked, "When are you free tomorrow? Let's have a proper conversation."He pondered for a moment and said, "I'm not sure whether I'll be free tomorrow, but I'm free right now. Where do you live? I'll come find you."Tiana checked the time. It was 9:00 p.m. It wasn't too early or too late to talk. She had no idea when Wilson would next be free, so she figured it was best to talk to him now. "Alright." Tiana agreed to meet Wilson at a café near Bayview. Before heading out, she hastily wiped her face and threw on a coat. Sage cheered her on. "Don't worry. I've got your back no matter what decision you make." Even though she hoped Tiana could break free from the tragedies that had happened to her in her previous life, if this was what Tiana wanted, she could only respect her decision.Tiana nodded. Soon, she arrived at the café. While she ordered he

    Wilson patiently responded, "Mom definitely didn't choose her words wisely. I'll talk to her and ask her not to say such things in the future."Tiana could see right through him. She chuckled and said, "It's alright. I won't make things difficult for you anymore. "Your parents have never liked me, and I'm done trying to please them. Let's go to the courthouse and file our divorce papers when you're free."He massaged his temples. "It's been days, Tiana. Are you still not over it? "Mom has already promised me that she won't meddle in our affairs anymore. We'll be responsible for our own lives now. "Maybe she's mad because you haven't been home in a while and have been ignoring her calls."He paused before continuing, "Tiana, I have a lot of work piled up and academic reports to complete. Could you please drop this? What happened in the past was my fault, and I'd like to apologize to you."Tiana had never argued with Wilson before. Usually, if something upset her, she'd just su

    Tiana turned around and was surprised to see Calvin getting out of his car. He was holding a bag of grilled skewers wrapped in aluminum foil and a few bottles of beer. She thought about how she had casually said she wanted beer and barbecue when they were gossiping earlier. Did he go out of his way to buy it because he had taken what she said to heart?"What are you doing here, Tiana?" Calvin walked up to them and glanced at Wilson, who was standing beside her. "Who's this?""Wilson Tate, my husband." Tiana then introduced Calvin to Wilson. "This is my friend, Calvin Luther.""Oh, so you're Wilson! Nice to meet you!" Calvin extended his hand to Wilson.Wilson frowned slightly as he glanced at Calvin, who had the air of a nepobaby, and at the skewers and beer in his hands. However, he maintained his composure and extended his hand for a handshake. "Nice to meet you.""Wilson, I brought some food and drinks over to see Tiana and my sister-in-law, Sage. Would you like to join us?

    Ian glanced at the ward. Benjamin had already regained consciousness, and a doctor was checking on him. The pale-faced Benjamin spotted him as well and got excited. "M- Mr. Holcomb!" He started coughing violently. However, he was too frail, and he almost fell off the hospital bed. Ignoring the doctor's attempts to stop him, Benjamin stumbled over to Ian and pleaded for mercy."I messed up, Mr. Holcomb. I didn't mean to harm your wife. It was Ivy Shekdotter who instigated me!"The police officers and doctors worked together to restrain Benjamin and drag him back into the ward.Noticing his knitted brows, Priscilla filled him in on Ivy's manipulation of Benjamin on two separate occasions. "Does Sage know about this as well?" Ian asked lowly.She nodded. "I visited Benjamin a few days ago. Benjamin has become arrogant due to the adulation and praise he has received over the years, Mr. Holcomb. "Ivy must've taken advantage of this to manipulate him. Although there's no direct e

    When he heard Priscilla's question, he pursed his lips. "I'm sorry, Ms. Davis. There are some things I can't tell you."Priscilla understood. After all, she didn't know the full story between Sage and Ian, and it was perfectly understandable for him to have other concerns and plans.…The next day, Sage woke up on the couch. Tiana had already gone to the hospital, and she left breakfast for her on the table as usual. Turning on her phone, she noticed that Tiana had sent her two pictures of herself sleeping. Tiana had jokingly called her "sleeping beauty" and said she had suggested to Priscilla that she be Mimosa's spokesperson. Even though she didn't tell her about her decision after talking to Wilson last night, Sage could tell from Tiana's good mood that she had decided to reconcile with him.After reading her messages, Sage noticed two missed calls from Zachary, both from last night after she had returned home. It suddenly struck her that she had promised him that she woul

    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
