All Chapters of A Farewell After Being Reborn: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Calvin realized that he had gone too far when he noticed the look in Ian's eyes. He cleared his throat and joked, "What I mean is, I get where you're coming from, but your delivery needs work. Why don't you put yourself in her shoes for a second? "Would you be thrilled if she dashed off to the hospital in the middle of the night to see some guy and returned the next morning with a present that was meant for someone else?"Ian frowned and said impatiently, "Look, she used to pester me for gifts. I figured bringing it back for her would get her off my back.""But you can't be so perfunctory," Calvin responded. "Wouldn't you be upset as well if she gave you a gift that was bought by another guy?""Shut your trap." Ian snapped. "What other guy? Where the hell would she find another guy?"He accidentally let his tongue slip again. Calvin smacked his forehead. "I was just giving you an example, Ian. Look, even the example makes you uncomfortable. Don't you think it would make her uncom

To be honest, everyone at Mimosa could have thought of it. But because they had all been panicking, their natural instinct to play it safe prevented them from thinking clearly."I have to admit that it's a rare treat to see you blush," Shane remarked.Sage couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "Well, are you satisfied with this solution, Mr. Morrison?""Eh, it's alright." He rose to his feet. "Since we're done here, you're coming with me.""Where are we going?""To talk outside." Shane straightened his coat and walked out of the office. Sage said goodbye to Priscilla and followed him outside. Sage, still a little peeved about Shane's earlier behavior, said coldly, "So what's with all the secrecy? Where are we headed? Just so you know, we're not exactly friends, so don't come to me for anything unrelated to work.""The feeling's mutual." Shane cast a disdainful glance at Sage. "I've got my eye on a new project, and I want you to take a look into it."She hadn't officially joi

Sage had no choice but to sit down and accept the waiter's menu."I'm going to the restroom," Shane said while she thumbed through the menu.She ignored him and ordered several dishes. Regardless of what Shane was up to, her stomach came first.Shane returned after she had placed her order. He took the menu from her, swiftly circled a few dishes, and handed it to Sage. "Bring this to the kitchen and tell them to change all the dishes in room 1 to these."Sage took a look at the dishes Shane had marked. They were all cucumber dishes—stir-fried cucumbers, mashed cucumbers, cucumber salad, pickled cucumber, and cucumber with eggs. Sage realized that Shane was attempting to pull a prank on someone."Mr. Morrison, could you please clarify what you're trying to do here?""What's the rush?" He continued, "It's not like I'm asking for a lot. I just want to observe their reaction. Stop fussing and go already!""I'm not going," she said confidently. "Why should I change someone else's ord

Sage was completely baffled by Shane's actions. Why couldn't he have used a more sophisticated approach if he were going to go against Ian? She couldn't accept his childish approach at all.Ian ignored Shane's provocation. Instead, he turned to Sage and said, "You're coming with me to Room One."Her brows furrowed together. "Why?" Surely he wasn't going to hold her accountable for this mess?Shane chimed in, "She's my driver today. I don't mind if you bother her, but she isn't going anywhere with you!"Ian frowned and shot Shane a cold glance. "Mr. Morrison, word has it that your elder brother is going to be promoted. He might not forgive you if something were to go awry now.""Do you seriously think you have that much power?" Shane scoffed.Ian's tone remained apathetic. "I know he's over in Brookfield, but it just so happens that he's particularly interested in involving Holcomb Corporation in his investment plan this time."Shane snorted. "What does that have to do with me? I

Sage's cheeks were slightly red. She glared at Ian and sat down, saying, "I'll just comply then.""Mr. Holcomb, your wife is so lovely. You shouldn't make her angry. You must apologize properly when you go back later," said Colin.Ian, as if he were truly a man who had angered his wife, readily agreed, "Okay."Just as they were talking, the restaurant manager knocked on the door and handed a bottle of ointment to Ian before apologizing on behalf of the waiter for what happened earlier. Only then did the people in the room notice the redness on his hand."Mr. Holcomb, why didn't you speak up earlier? This burn could be serious," someone said.Remaining calm, Ian replied, "My wife helped me to rinse it with cold water earlier. I'm fine."Terry couldn't help but snicker inwardly seeing how Ian seemed to be calling Sage his wife more and more naturally now.Then, he began to recall a previous dinner appointment at a seafood restaurant not too long ago. Ian had refused to go and inst
