A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 710
Sage started, "I—""Well said. Everyone, keep all of this here!" Shane said, clearly pleased. The staff all smiled and started showering compliments and praise on Shane. Sage wanted to explain, but she couldn't get a word in, so she gave up.Upon seeing this, Shane's smile grew even more dazzling and charming.Changing clothes, picking accessories, and getting hair and makeup done took a couple of hours. But at the end of it, Sage looked in the mirror and had to admit that the professionals had done a remarkable job highlighting all her best features.Shane, on the other hand, had changed into a white suit and slicked his hair back. What could have been a disaster for anyone else looked naturally elegant and striking on him.Once they were both ready, it was nearly time to leave. Shane's assistant carried several gifts and followed them to the parking lot.Owen's birthday party was set at a five-star hotel. The driver pulled up to the entrance. Soon, a doorman and valet came ov

The sudden pull made Sage let out a small cry. In the next second, she found herself in a broad embrace.The slightly familiar scent of cedar reached her nostrils. As she turned her head, she realized it was Ian.He must have just come from the elevator. His handsome face was slightly tense, and his dark eyes were coldly fixed on Shane."Who gave you permission to touch her?" Ian asked in a low voice.Shane's expression was equally unfriendly. "What does it have to do with you? And what right do you have to grab Sage?"Upon seeing the confrontation, Sage pulled herself away from Ian and stood beside Shane. Frowning at Ian, she asked, "What are you doing here?"Ian looked at Sage. Her makeup was flawless today, enhancing her already delicate beauty. She wore a white, form-fitting dress which was simple, yet exquisite. It perfectly accentuated her figure.The dress ended just above the knee, revealing her slender, fair legs. It made her look like an ethereal spirit.Standing next

"Not at all, Sage is very capable—""Grandpa." Ian couldn't bear to listen anymore. He called out to Donald and greeted Owen and his wife."Uncle Owen, happy birthday. Here's a small gift I prepared for you. Please accept it," Ian said as he handed a velvet box to Owen.Susan took it on behalf of Owen and opened it to reveal a fine snuffbox—a favorite of Owen's.Owen noticed and smiled. "Thank you, Ian. That's very thoughtful of you.""I knew you liked this, so when I saw it at the auction, I thought it would be perfect," Ian said with a faint smile."Sage, what gift did you prepare for your uncle?" Ian asked Sage.Sage gave Ian a less-than-pleased look. She was convinced Ian was doing this on purpose.Truth was, she had also prepared a snuffbox, but it was nothing compared to Ian's. She had picked it from a home store, so it was not as exquisite as Ian's.Now that his precious gift had been presented first, how could she possibly measure up?"We've prepared a rather large gi

Sage turned around and saw Zachary."Zack," said Sage with a smile.Zachary nodded and looked at Shane. "Is this your friend?" he asked."Yes. Meet Shane Morrison."Shane extended his hand and greeted Zachary. "Nice to meet you.""Nice to meet you too, Mr. Morrison," said Zachary politely.They made small talk for a moment before Owen approached Shane."Shane, you seem to know a lot about antiques. I have a friend over there who's a professional. Shall we go and talk to him?" asked Owen.Sage was worried that Shane would feel uncomfortable, so she tried to turn Owen down for him. "Uncle … ""Sure! As long as you don't think I'm annoying," said Shane with a smile. "Sage, I'm going to have a chat with them. I'll see you later."Shane nodded at Zachary cordially before walking off. Zachary watched him leave with Owen before saying, "Sage, you told me you would consider someone. Is Mr. Morrison the person you were talking about?"Sage could hear a tinge of bitterness in his vo

Sage asked confusedly, "Didn't he already leave?""He came back." Zachary pointed toward the entrance.Sage looked over and spotted Ian. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Ian's broad shoulders seemed to sag."Even Mr. Holcomb, who's so determined, chose to leave. It seems like you and Mr. Morrison are affecting him quite badly. Now I feel better knowing it's no wonder I don't stand a chance," said Zachary with a little self-comfort.Sage didn't know what to say. Zachary put his sadness aside and talked business with her. "Ms. Sutton is very pleased with the fragrance you designed for her and recommended another client to us. "However, the new designer we hired isn't experienced enough. I hope you can meet the client with us. Are you free in the next few days?"It was a good opportunity for Maven Corporation to start making customized perfumes, so Sage didn't refuse. Zachary told her that Abby's order was almost completed, and she would pay in full in another week. T

Sage was surprised to hear Donald's words. Ian had gone to see him alone? Sage couldn't tell Donald about what had happened in Toledonese, so she merely said that Ian had gotten into an accident and injured himself."Did he get injured from protecting you?" asked Donald.Sage nodded."And you don't feel touched at all?" Donald asked in surprise.In the past life, Sage's heart would have broken if Ian even scratched himself because of her, much less taken a bullet for her. Now, Sage just felt weary. She said simply, "The situation was complicated. It's hard to tell you everything all at once."Donald thought about it and said, "Sage, I hope that you only get into a new relationship because you love that person. Not because of other reasons."Sage knew what he meant and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa. I'm not accepting Shane just because I'm trying to make Ian jealous."Only then did Donald feel relieved. "Okay. You're really all grown up now."They chatted for a while more until
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 716
However, Shane was worried that Sage would ignore him and change her mind on giving him a chance if he pissed her off.Therefore, he had no choice but to hold her hand and say miserably, "Spare me a glance too, would you? Could you like me too?"Sage's heart softened a little, and she did not shake him off. "Zachary confessed his feelings to me a few times, but I rejected him. Today, he told me that he would slowly learn to let go and find a girl who loves him back," said Sage.Shane's eyes lit up. "Did you reject him for me?"Although Sage had never had any romantic feelings for Zachary, it was true that she had only rejected him outright after agreeing to give Shane a chance.She nodded and said, "I guess you could say that.""You could have just told me yes!" Shane wasn't very satisfied with her answer, but he appreciated it nonetheless. "Sage, everyone addresses you like they're so close to you. Can I do it too?" asked Shane.Sage couldn't help but laugh when she saw his

Ian tightened his grip around her and said, "Sage, I know you hate me. I hate myself too. I hate myself for not being more patient with you last time and not knowing my feelings for you sooner… "I was wrong. I'll appreciate you better from now on. Sage, don't leave me behind. Give me some time and give me a chance to correct my mistakes."Sage was stuck in his tight embrace and his hot breath brushed against her ear. She had thought that she had lost all feelings for him, but his words still made her feel sad. "Ian, not all mistakes can be made right." Sage made her tone sound indifferent and said, "I accept your apology, but I don't have feelings for you anymore. I can't give you another chance.""Is it because of Shane?" Ian looked up and his eyes were filled with pain."There will be other men even without Shane. I can't give up on love just because you hurt me. I would still start a new relationship. "You don't have to feel like you've lost. Stop asking me to take you back

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
