Chapter 104
A Farewell After Being Reborn
Ianâs expression hardened on hearing her words. âI dare you to!â
However, Sage couldnât comprehend his words at all. Hugging the pillow, she started sobbing. âI
forgot⦠I canât even use his money. Heâs so stingy⦠he wouldnât even give me a million dollarsâ¦â
Lan couldnât be bothered to talk to Sage anymore. He retrieved a towel from the bathroom and wiped
her face roughly. He then sat her up, picked up the half glass of water from the bedside table, and
placed it near her mouth.
âDrink up,â he ordered.
Sage was much more docile after her previous outbursts. She lowered her head and took a sip.
However, she started coughing and spat out the water as soon as she swallowed, wetting Ianâs clothes.
âSage Joyner!â he snapped. âAre you doing this on purpose?â
Tears instantly welled up in her eyes after being scolded by him. âI donât want to drink water. I want hot
chocolateâ¦â she sobbed. âI waited in line for over an hour to get it. Why did you throw it away? Give
me back my hot chocolate!â
lan, who was usually calm and collected, was beginning to lose patience with Sage.
âYouâre not going to give it back to me, huh? Fine, then you can pay me back with your body!â Sage
rose to her feet and reached out to tug on his clothes.
He grabbed her hand with a hardened expression. âLook here. Who am I?â
Sage blinked and looked at him intently before flashing him a smile. âWoah⦠youâre handsome! Do
you have a girlfriend? If not, can I become your girlfriend?â
âDid you forget that you were married?â he said through gritted teeth.
âShh⦠Iâll let you in on a secret,â she whispered into his ear like a mischievous fox. âDonât let my
husbandâs looks fool you. The thing is⦠he canât get it up! Iâm going to divorce him soon.â
Then, she held his face and continued, âSo you can be my boyfriend!â
âSage fucking Joyner!â Ian was furious. âAre you drunk, or are you serious? If itâs the latter, I wouldnât
mind proving you wrong right now!â
He then yanked her over and was about to bite her. However, the sudden movement made it look like
she was about to throw up. Hence, he hurriedly lifted her head up.
âI feel awfulâ¦â Although Sage did not throw up, she collapsed onto his abdomen. âSleep with
meâ¦â
Ian shook the woman in his arms, but she had already drifted off to sleep. She even pinched his abs
dissatisfiedly. âItâs too hard⦠it hurtsâ¦â
âSage Joyner⦠you had better not be pretending to be drunk!â he said through gritted teeth.
Sage woke up thirsty. She reached out for her water with her eyes closed, but her hand came into
contact with something warm and firm. Instinctively, she began feeling it up.
âWhatâs your problem this early in the morning?â
Sage sat up abruptly, startled by the husky voice that rang in her ears. She then noticed Ian sleeping
next to her. He was lying on his side, facing her. He was topless, exposing his lean body.
As Sage realized she had touched his chest, images from last night suddenly flooded her mind. She
remembered seeing Ian, but she assumed that she was dreaming.
Hence, she complained that he was being mean to her. Then, she gleefully held up her hand to show
how much she had drunk. She cried, hugged him, called him handsome, and asked him to be her
boyfriendâ¦.
âHello? Earth to Sage.â Jan opened his eyes and frowned when she didnât answer him.
Sage suddenly came to her senses. She found the whole thing funny. He left with Ivy in his arms, but
instead of staying with her, he came home and slept in her bed.
