Tiana didn't take this matter to heart.In the evening, she finally managed to finish her tasks and planned to go downstairs early to wait for Calvin. Just as she arrived at the hospital entrance, she saw Larry pushing Wendy in a wheelchair toward her. Tiana didn't want to run into these two people and ruin her mood, so she turned and walked toward a nearby path."Tiana, please wait a moment!" Larry called out to her urgently.The next second, Larry pushed Wendy in front of her.When she remembered the incident in the hospital room last time, Tiana felt very annoyed. "If you two are here to give me trouble or insult me, I will call the police immediately!"Unexpectedly, Wendy spoke in a softened tone, "No, Tiana, you've misunderstood. We're here to apologize to you!" "Yes, Tiana, we sincerely want to chat with you. How about we find a different place to talk?" After all, Larry was a professor and cared about his reputation. He didn't want outsiders watching them.Tiana firmly
Tiana looked up. Calvin was walking over.He gently took her hand and asked, "Are you okay?"Tiana smiled and nodded, saying, "It's okay."Wendy and Larry naturally noticed Calvin as well.Wendy knew Calvin and had long suspected his relationship with Tiana was special. Now, seeing him holding Tiana's hand, she spoke in a slightly serious tone."Mr. Luther, is it? Tiana is Wilson's wife. Don't you think what you're doing is inappropriate?"Calvin calmly said, "Mrs. Tate, what you're saying isn't true. Tiana and Dr. Tate are already divorced, and she is now my girlfriend."When the word "girlfriend" was mentioned, Wendy's and Larry's expressions changed immediately.Wendy especially could hardly believe that Calvin wanted Tiana to be his girlfriend!In her mind, Calvin, being a wealthy young man, was probably just interested in Tiana for the novelty and was toying with her.How could he possibly not mind that Tiana was divorced? He was definitely just putting on an act, trying
"As long as Wilson doesn't go to such a dangerous place, I'll do anything. Tiana, what will it take for you to get over it? Should I kneel before you? I'll kneel right now!"Wendy suddenly tried to get out of her wheelchair to kneel before Tiana as she was speaking."Wendy, what are you doing?" Larry quickly stopped her.Wendy struggled and said, "Don't worry about me. I can't let my son go abroad to such a dangerous place. Isn't he trying to get remarried? I'll beg Tiana, even if I have to kneel…"Even though this was a small path with not many people passing by, Wendy's demeanor nonetheless attracted a fair amount of onlookers.Tiana wanted to leave, but Wendy grabbed her clothes and kept begging her to remarry Wilson.Wendy's crying was heartbreaking, and she looked especially weary. Sitting in a wheelchair, she had the appearance of a pitiful, helpless person.Calvin could only warn them verbally, feeling it wasn't appropriate to get physical."Dad, Mom."Just as Tiana and
"Even if you can endure it, I don't want to see you feeling awkward," Tiana continued. "And I certainly don't want you to build up resentment toward me every time something like this happens."So, rather than ending up as resentful partners, it's better to break up now."Hearing what Tiana said, Calvin felt both amused and exasperated. "How would your past marriage make things awkward for me?"A divorce isn't a permanent mark of shame. Tiana, your way of thinking is completely wrong."Tiana felt both touched and a bit bitter upon hearing those words. "So, you not speaking in the car wasn't because you were mad at me, right?"Calvin helplessly took Tiana's hand and said, "I'm not angry, especially not at you. I'm just worried."Tiana asked in confusion, "Worried about what?"Calvin said, "You've always had strong feelings for Dr. Tate. If it hadn't been for that day at the restaurant when Mrs. Tate forcefully took you back home and caused a huge scene, you wouldn't have divorced
Sage didn't feel awkward at all. She even leaned over to Tiana and said, "Tiana, your relationship is developing quickly. When are you moving on to the next stage?"Tiana gave Sage a nudge and said, "I'm not moving on to the next phase. I want to live with you until you get sick of me!""Wow, you have such impure thoughts, Tiana! I was talking about pure passionate love, and you went straight to thinking about living together!" Sage teased.Tiana covered Sage's mouth in embarrassment. "Stop!"The two bickered as they went upstairs.Sage also learned from Tiana that Wilson was going to join Doctors Without Borders. She was slightly surprised.In the past life, Tiana, heartbroken, joined Doctors Without Borders and went abroad to work as a nurse. In this life, had it become Wilson who was leaving?"What are you thinking about for you to make that expression?" Tiana asked curiously.Sage smiled and said, "It's nothing."She opened her arms and hugged Tiana. "Tiana, it's wonderful
Sage asked while playing with Thorn, "What is it, Ms. Sutton?"Abby, feeling a bit embarrassed, said, "Leo is really serious about the idea of me marrying Mr. Holcomb."I've heard that Leo's been putting a lot of pressure on him lately. He even reached out to some board members to try to have him removed from his position as CEO."Sage paused slightly while petting the cat. Shane had previously informed her that Leo was contacting shareholders to target Ian and try to sideline him.At that time, Shane also guessed that Leo was trying to force Ian to agree to something. It now seemed that he was correct.Leo wanted to use this situation to force Ian and Abby into an arranged marriage."Mr. Holcomb is not the type to sit around and wait for things to happen."Over the years, he has achieved a lot in Holcomb Corporation, and everyone has seen it. That's why many board members support him. It's just that…"Abby hesitated for a moment.Seeing that Sage stayed silent, she continued
"I thought we became good friends after that. When I heard about your past with Mr. Holcomb, I took it upon myself to try and help you two out."If what I'm doing is making you uncomfortable, I'm sorry."Abby's sincere words made Sage feel like she was making a big deal out of nothing.Was Abby paying attention to her because of these reasons at the housewarming party before?No matter what, once a seed of doubt was planted in someone's heart, it would become very difficult to trust the other person completely.Sage maintained a polite tone. "Ms. Sutton, what I did was just a small favor. There's no need to dwell on it. I would have done the same for anyone else."So, please refrain from getting involved in matters between Ian and me in the future.""Alright, I understand. I'll be more careful in the future," Abby apologized sweetly before switching the topic. "Ms. Joyner, about that issue with Mr. Morrison last time, I still feel really bad about it."I said I would treat you
Hearing what Shane said, Sage felt a slight pang of bitterness in her heart.Shane once said that the people in the Morrison family were quite firm in their beliefs. Sage didn't know if George would relent.But Shane was determined when he arranged to meet her that time, with absolutely no intention of compromise.A lot of unexpected things could happen in a year. Plus, one of the conditions the Morrison family gave Shane likely included reducing or avoiding contact with her. Otherwise, Shane wouldn't be so cautious.Sage understood this clearly in her heart, but at this moment, she couldn't bring herself to speak such harsh words.She also switched to a more relaxed tone, saying, "By then, my career should have stabilized, and I'll probably have time to think about my love life."Just as she said that, Sage sensed someone approaching the door.Lifting her head, Sage saw Giselle there, holding a clipboard, as well as the graceful and composed Marcus.The office door was open, a
