"Sure thing." Tiana nodded in agreement.Sage and Tiana then soaked in several different hot spring pools and took numerous selfies. Before they knew it, night had fallen.In the evening, Tiana stepped out to answer a call from Wilson while Sage went into the restaurant first. Dinner was held in the resort's luxurious dining hall. Even though it was also in the form of a buffet, the food was much more lavish than the snacks and barbecue they had in the hot spring area earlier. There was an assortment of fresh seafood available.Everyone was starving after a long day of fun, so their eyes lit up when they saw the delicious food. Some found using the utensils troublesome and ate the lobsters with their hands instead. Sage felt hungry after watching everyone inhale their food.Perhaps the harsh hunger she experienced in the psychiatric hospital in her previous life intensified her love for food. Most of the time, she ate alone when she was at home. Even when Ian was around, the wa

His dark gaze made her uncomfortable. Sage forced herself to calm down and said, "Whether you marry her or not has nothing to do with me.""Sage—""Tiana, over here!" Ian was about to say something, but Sage cut him off and waved to Tiana, who was at the entrance.Tiana walked over to them and asked, "Mr. Holcomb, are you done with work?"Ian nodded slightly. "Excuse me. I have to go over there for a bit, but please carry on.""What's going on? Why do I feel like there's some strange tension between you guys?" Tiana asked.Sage told her what Ian had said earlier."Ian's worried that you'll be upset, so he's explaining why he didn't turn Ivy away at lunch," Tiana said. "I've been telling you that he has feelings for you and that he doesn't want to divorce you. Do you believe me now?"Sage rolled her eyes at Tiana. "I don't think so. Even if you're right, it wouldn't change my mind about getting a divorce."Tiana couldn't help but speak up, "Sage, you've loved Ian for so many ye

Sage looked over in the direction Tiana pointed and spotted Ian's figure. He looked tall and handsome in his casual shirt next to the cool and refined Wilson. Both of them looked like characters straight out of a comic book—breathtakingly beautiful and pleasing to the eye."My husband is so handsome." Tiana sighed.Sage nudged her. "You're drooling.""Oh, come on! As if you're any better than me when you look at Ian." Sage rolled her eyes at Tiana. Their conversation caught the attention of the men up ahead, causing them to turn their heads."Darling, do you know Mr. Holcomb?" Tiana walked up to Wilson and linked her arm with his.Wilson responded calmly, "We've met a couple of times before."Wilson was highly regarded in his field. Many would take the initiative to get to know him. In addition, he often attended formal award ceremonies held by the government as a distinguished representative of the hospital, so it wasn't surprising that he would be acquainted with a successful

Sage walked along a path paved with white pebbles, feeling uncomfortable. Tiana was right. She had overeaten.Ian noticed her knitted brows and figured she wasn't feeling well. He called Terry and asked, "Could you check if there's a drugstore nearby? Have someone get me some antacids."Sage couldn't help but think of her previous life when she heard that. She used to have occasional stomach pains as a result of her excessive dieting. Ian happened to be at home that night. When she brought him a glass of milk, her stomach hurt so much that her face turned pale from the pain, and she almost spilled it. Yet, he didn't even ask her what was wrong. He simply asked her to leave.Meanwhile, she hadn't made a sound just now, yet he noticed her discomfort and took the initiative to ask someone to get her some medications."It seems that men can learn to be attentive," she brooded. He had only been inattentive to her because he didn't love her.Sage had also noticed his changes. He did s

Terry, who usually followed Ian around, was nowhere to be found that day. Ian frowned when he heard that. "I'm not him. How would I know? Aren't we going to the drugstore? Get a move on."Sage was at a loss for words as she didn't believe that he had no idea about what was going on with Terri.The couple found the car. Sage had just fastened her seatbelt when she spotted Ivy in the parking lot. Her face was pale, and she looked like her legs were about to give out. Ivy also noticed them. "Mr. Holcomb, Mrs. Holcomb," she greeted them weakly."Where are you headed?" Ian asked.Ivy rasped, "I think the wound on my forehead has become infected. It hurts, but I forgot to bring my medications. I was just going to run out and get some."Ian said, "We're just about to head out. Text me a list of the medications you need, and I'll pick it up for you."Ivy endured the pain and shook her head. "Don't worry about it. I don't want to hold you up. I can manage on my own."Sage sneered as sh

"Don't you watch where you're going?" Ian grumbled. Sage had almost gotten hit by a car. Startled, she came to her senses. What was she doing? Why did she suddenly get upset with Ian? Why did she sound so jealous?It seemed like Tiana had brainwashed her into believing Ian was being good to her and that she didn't want a divorce anymore. Sage was terrified when she noticed a glimmer of hope rising in her heart yet again.Ignoring Ian, she took a step back and said calmly, "I don't want to go to the mall. I'd just like to go to a pâtisserie."Ian had expected Sage to become enraged and tell him that it had nothing to do with him and that he didn't need to worry about it. However, she didn't lose her temper at all. She seemed calm and rational instead.Naturally, he preferred her current reaction—no fuss and no drama. Just straightforward communication. She didn't put up an invisible wall that made it impossible for him to communicate with her.The couple got back into the car, an

"What is the meaning of this?" Sage asked as she pointed at his belongings.Ian responded calmly, "Everyone at the company knows we're married. What will they think if we sleep in separate rooms?"There was only a week left until their divorce. Everyone would find out then anyway. However, she kept her mouth shut as she didn't want him to think that she was throwing a tantrum and green with jealousy. Instead, she quipped, "Ian Holcomb, if you're feeling frisky and need someone to satisfy your urges, there are plenty of volunteers outside. Don't drag me into your mess."Ian gave her a cold look, probably because her words stung. "You were the one who slipped and fell into my arms in the afternoon. You were in a bikini, and you were so close to me. I'm a man, not a saint. I think it's pretty normal for me to react."Sage was rendered speechless. After all, she had been careless and slipped into his arms in the afternoon. She couldn't be bothered to waste her breath on him anymore,

Hospital? Sage was a little surprised. Was someone injured? Why did he need her there? But before she could ask any more questions, Ian had already hung up the phone. Just then, Terry's voice came from outside the door. "Mrs. Holcomb, please come downstairs when you're ready. I'll go start the car right now."Ian was really efficient. Terry was already outside her room before she could think about it or refuse. Sage changed out of her pajamas, put on a loose T-shirt, and grabbed her purse before heading downstairs.She wondered what on earth was going on for him. Sage got into the back seat, slightly annoyed. Terry was focused on the road and didn't seem like he wanted to talk to her. "Mr. Zane, did Ian threaten you or something? Is that why you're not talking to me?" she couldn't help but ask. Terry didn't dare to utter a word. "Oh, nothing of the sort happened, Mrs. Holcomb. Mr. Holcomb just wants me to do my job properly."Sage didn't push any further because she knew that

Ronald's words were cut short when he noticed Ian emerging from behind the security door. He was on a phone call. "Ivy has been through so much pain, Ian, you have to stand up for her!"Ian looked at Sage, who met his gaze stoically. Sage had put two and two together based on the middle-aged man's words. Ivy had taken the medication Ian bought in the resort, and something had gone wrong. Ivy had her stomach pumped in the hospital, and Ronald thought it was her doing.So, Ian left because Ivy had been taken to the hospital. He called her here because of Ivy."Dad, this could all be a misunderstanding. Please don't put Ian in a tight spot," Ivy said weakly."My poor Ivy, you're just too considerate for your own good!" Ronald said. "Just think about it. How many times has this woman schemed against you and hurt you? I wouldn't have known about any of these things if your Aunt Sandra hadn't told me about what had happened last time!"Ivy gritted her teeth and said, "It was just a scra

Sage had browsed the aisles to avoid running into Ian. "I'm sure you've also found out that I haven't bought any amoxicillin.""That corner is a blind spot for the surveillance cameras," Ian said.Sage couldn't help but sneer at him. "Are you suggesting that I stole the medication from the drugstore and then swapped it out with Ms. Shekdotter's in the car?" Ian remained silent.Sage snorted. "I had no idea which medications she needed. How could I have prepared the warfarin ahead of time?""Why wouldn't you have been able to prepare it? The wound on Ivy's forehead was inflamed. Anyone would've guessed that she'd need anti-inflammatory medications!" Ronald snarled.Sage frowned and shot Ian a cold look. "Do you think so too?"Before Ian could say anything, Ronald snapped, "How could you be so cruel? What has Ivy ever done to you that you'd attempt to harm her over and over again?"The middle-aged man raised his hand and was about to slap Sage's face when Ian stopped him. "Calm do
