A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 127

Sandra’s eyes sparkled as she held the debit card. “Don’t worry, Henry will definitely up his game. He actually planned to rescue the damsel in distress yesterday. Unfortunately, that girl had to bail. He’s already planning his next move, though. He’ll win that woman over!” Ivy didn’t press for further details. Instead, she just said, “Don’t drop by unannounced. I’ll come to you IF I need anything in the future.” She made sure to emphasize the second part. Sage and Ian had spotted Sandra at her place last time. Even though she and Sandra were family, Henry was currently attempting to get close to Layla. If Sage and Ian found out, she would undoubtedly be dragged into the fray. Hence, it was better to proceed with caution. Sandra tucked the card away. “Oh, Ivy, I genuinely came to see how you were doing. It must be tough for you to be all alone in the hospital.”

Ivy propped her chin up. “Tell the nurse I passed out. She’ll know what to do.”

Realization dawned on Sandra. “That’s true. Mr. Holcomb’s company will definitely be better than mine! I’ll go find the nurse right away!”

Meanwhile, Sage returned to Solaris Estate. When she noticed that there wasn’t a single soul in the living room, she went upstairs. However, she noticed something amiss when she opened the door to her bedroom.

There were now more of Ian’s belongings, and her chaise lounge had been replaced by two simple chairs and an elegant, round, coffee table.

Sage was dumbstruck when she heard footsteps coming from the dressing room. After a moment, she saw Ian walking out in a fresh set of loungewear.

“What’s going on? Who did this to my room? And where’s my chaise lounge?” she asked with

a frown.

Ian seemed cold and impatient. “Whose idea do you think this is? Uncle Owen and Aunt Susan went to Holcomb Manor in the afternoon to find Grandma.

“They spilled the beans about our divorce, and she called me right away to give me a piece of her mind. She also warned that she’d disown me if I dared to sign another divorce agreement and not sleep in the same bedroom as you!”

“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Guilt washed over Sage. She figured that her uncle and aunt would settle down after her grandfather asked them to leave.

But to her shock and surprise, they went straight to Linda. This meant that her grandmother- in–law must’ve found out she had broken her promise and asked Ian for a divorce again. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Why was she so unlucky? Not only did she fail to get a divorce, but she also made her grandfather and grandmother–in–law restless. 1

“I could’ve told you earlier, but someone decided not to answer her phone,” he continued.

Sage fell silent as she remembered the call she had rejected earlier.

“Sage Joyner, what the hell are you playing at?” Tan scoffed. “I can’t believe you’d let your aunt and uncle find out about the divorce agreement. Don’t you dare deny it too!”

Sage felt frustrated by his accusations and tried to explain herself. “I accidentally bumped into an employee, and then…‘

She stopped mid–sentence when she noticed the contemptuous look on lan’s face. He seemed convinced that she was just attempting to weasel her way out of this and that she had never really wanted a divorce.

Hence, Sage didn’t want to waste her breath. “You know what? Let’s just hold off on getting the divorce certificate until after Grandma’s birthday. Until then, I won’t bug you about it. I’ll also ask Uncle Owen and Aunt Susan not to bother you.

She told herself that it would be over in the blink of an eye. After all, it was just ten days. She had to stop causing trouble for herself.

Ian sneered when he heard her promise. He didn’t say a word and simply strode toward the bathroom.

Just then, his phone, which was on the coffee table, rang. Unintentionally, she glanced at it and noticed the number. Ian hastily picked up his phone and answered it.
