A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 117

“Do you have magnifying glasses for eyes or something? I can’t believe you spotted him when there’s barely a hint of his face.”

Tiana continued, “He’s good–looking, especially when he’s looking at you like that. Ooooh, I see that twinkle in his eyes.”

“Oh, hush. Don’t make stuff up.

Sage zoomed in on the photo again. Michael was sitting next to her. Even though only half of his face was visible in the picture, one could still see his chiseled features and the way he looked at her. His bright eyes were filled with warmth.

“So… did you chow down all that seafood and wine with that hunk?” she asked.

Sage clarified, “No, we weren’t alone. There were a handful of people there. Oh, and you‘

I’ve

met him before. Remember the last time we went shopping? He was the one I helped pick out the suit for at the mall. His name’s Michael.”

“No way! Him? What a small world. Is he the one Ian was rude to?” she asked.

“Yep.”

“I’m guessing he only agreed to the divorce after you two fought?“.

“What are you getting at?” Sage asked.

“I just have a feeling that Ian stumbled upon your post on Instagram and went to the restaurant because he was worried,” Tiana guessed.

Sage clicked her tongue. “Ian was there for a business appointment with his assistant, and we just happened to run into them. Besides, he never checks Instagram. I used to tag him in my posts, and he told me that he didn’t have time to look at them.”

“But he wasn’t happy to see you with Michael, right? He probably expected you to explain yourself when he brought you home, but you didn’t say a word and even asked him for a divorce. Clearly, he agreed in a fit of anger,” Tiana continued, sounding like an investigator. He must be jealous! He just doesn’t know it yet.

Sage thought that the idea of lan being jealous was ridiculous. “Why would he be jealous when he doesn’t have any feelings for me?” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

“Why don’t we bet on it since you don’t believe me? I bet you guys won’t get divorced tomorrow because Ian will change his mind!” Tiana said confidently.

“Sure, but you’re going to lose.” Sage then changed the subject and asked, “So when are your and Wilson planning to come back?”

“We should be back the day after tomorrow. Let’s get together then!”

“Sounds good.” Sage then brought up the topic of Wilson’s female classmate again.

Tiana told Sage that ever since she started sending lunch to Wilson, his female classmate had kept her distance and hadn’t acted out of line.

Then, she mentioned that she had picked out a platinum bracelet for her mother–in–law and a ceramic teapot for her father–in–law. The girls then chatted about Mimosa for a while before hanging up.

It was already 9:00 a.m. when Sage woke up the next day. After freshening up, she went downstairs, where Wanda had breakfast ready.

“Wanda, has Ian gone out already?”

“Yes. Mr. Holcomb left early for the office.”

Sage immediately dialed Ian’s number. She half expected him not to answer, but his cold voice came through after a few rings. “What is it?”

Sage walked away to a secluded corner and asked quietly, “Have you signed the divorce papers? Can we go get the divorce certificate this morning?”

Ian remained apathetic. “No. I’m busy.”

Sage couldn’t shake the worry that had crept in after what Tiana had said. Could Ian be having second thoughts about the divorce?

“I understand you’re too busy to get the divorce certificate, but you can at least find some time to sign the divorce papers, right?” Sage grew anxious. “Where are you right now? I’ll come to you.

“My office.” He then hung up the phone.

Sage walked over to the dining table. Wanda was no longer in the living room, so she probably hadn’t overheard their conversation.
