Semua Bab A Farewell After Being Reborn: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Ian had even gotten the idea that Sage was demanding a divorce because she was throwing a tantrum over what had happened that day.Even if it was unnecessary, she still couldn't help asking, "Since you knew that was the fifth anniversary of our first meeting, you must've known how important it was to me. Why did you still leave with Ivy?"Ian looked calm. "To me, it was no different from any other day."Of course. Since he didn't love her, what did any sort of anniversary matter? All of this was nothing but her single-sided expectations.Sage muttered self-deprecatingly, "I wonder where I found the courage to think I could move you one day."Ian didn't hear her properly. When he turned to look at her, her expression had already gone back to normal. "I'm not throwing a tantrum or kicking up a fuss. I'm serious about wanting to divorce."She was still going on about the divorce! Ian's expression darkened. "Do you think marriage is a game? Do you think you can get married and divorc

Terry found himself regretting his decision.Ian had worked overtime till the wee hours of the morning. He proceeded to spend the entire day wearing nothing but a poker face. It was clear that he was in a bad mood.Would Terry be making things worse for Ian by bringing up Sage's shopping spree at this time?"Get your ass over here right now if you want to talk to me about something!" Ian grumbled impatiently.Terry had no choice but to walk over to Ian. There, he tapped on the messaging app cautiously and displayed the horde of messages.Ian shot a glance at the screen, soon noticing the automated messages sent by various mall-based stores. There were purchases that exceeded hundreds of thousands of dollars, but there were also purchases showcasing only triple digits. All of these messages were sent from jewelry and apparel stores which were frequented by ladies.At that moment, a new message popped up on the screen with a loud ding."Thank you for shopping at Gentlemen's Styl

It sounded as though a drunkard had just crashed into the wall after losing their balance.That thought weirded Sage out. Wanda and Ian were the only ones staying in Solaris Estate. None of them would ever drink.The next thing she knew, her room door was flung open from the outside with a loud click.Ian actually stumbled into the room afterward. He staggered about like he was about to keel over at any given moment. His cheeks were unnaturally flushed, with sweat beading on his forehead. Even the corners of his eyes were unusually red.Sage's instincts screamed at her that something was wrong. She closed her laptop with the intention of kicking Ian out of her room."Did you drink alcohol?" she asked as she opened the door. "Wan—mmph!"Before Sage could call out Wanda's name, she felt intense pain prickling from her lips. It turned out that Ian had just captured her lips with his own."You—"Shocked, Sage tried to push Ian away, but he responded by kissing her passionately.Ia

Sage shot Michael a smile. "I've just registered for a kickboxing class."Delight fleeted across Michael's expression. "What a coincidence! I'm a trainer who specializes in kickboxing!"It really was a coincidence.Sage thought the next time she'd meet Michael would be at a business meeting where they'd negotiate about the collaboration. She didn't expect to see him so soon."I guess I'll be seeing more of you in the future," Sage said smilingly. "Have fun working. I'll be leaving now.""Wait, miss!" Michael called out."What is it?" Sage asked.Michael offered shyly, "I don't know how to repay you for the kindness you've shown me back then. Why don't I treat you to a cup of joe?"Sage just smiled while shaking her head. "Perhaps next time. I don't want to take up your time since you're working at the moment.""It's fine. Actually, I'm about to get off work," Michael said hurriedly.He had a youthful face, to begin with. The sight of him looking so anxious made him seem like

Sage trailed behind Ian, looking as composed as ever.Soon, Ian sank into the couch in his study. As he tugged his tie off, he said, "I wonder how you'll be able to satisfy me with this solution of yours."Sage handed Ian the two documents."I have two copies of the divorce agreement. One of them states that I'll divorce you without getting any of your assets in return. The other one states that you'll have to pay me 100 million dollars in alimony. "I've already signed both copies of the agreement. Choose whichever copy that has the conditions you want and sign it."Ian raised his head immediately. "100 million dollars?"Businessmen were all money-minded, as expected. Ian's first reaction was to mentally complain about the absurd amount of money he had to pay."Yup," Sage replied. "You promised me ten million dollars back then, but I don't think that's enough for me."Come to think of it, you're the one who wronged me in this marriage. Besides, you're the one who was more eage
