Chapter 117
A Farewell After Being Reborn
âDo you have magnifying glasses for eyes or something? I canât believe you spotted him when thereâs
barely a hint of his face.â
Tiana continued, âHeâs goodâlooking, especially when heâs looking at you like that. Ooooh, I see that
twinkle in his eyes.â
âOh, hush. Donât 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.
âSo⦠did you chow down all that seafood and wine with that hunk?â she asked.
Sage clarified, âNo, we werenât alone. There were a handful of people there. Oh, and youâ
Iâve
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 nameâs Michael.â
âNo way! Him? What a small world. Is he the one Ian was rude to?â she asked.
âYep.â
âIâm guessing he only agreed to the divorce after you two fought?â.
âWhat are you getting at?â Sage asked.
âI just have a feeling that Ian stumbled upon your post on Instagram and went to the restaurant
because he was worried,â Tiana guessed.
Sage clicked her tongue. âIan 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 didnât have time to look at them.â
âBut he wasnât happy to see you with Michael, right? He probably expected you to explain yourself
when he brought you home, but you didnât say a word and even asked him for a divorce. Clearly, he
agreed in a fit of anger,â Tiana continued, sounding like an investigator. He must be jealous! He just
doesnât know it yet.
Sage thought that the idea of lan being jealous was ridiculous. âWhy would he be jealous when he
doesnât have any feelings for me?â
âWhy donât we bet on it since you donât believe me? I bet you guys wonât get divorced tomorrow
because Ian will change his mind!â Tiana said confidently.
âSure, but youâre going to lose.â Sage then changed the subject and asked, âSo when are your and
Wilson planning to come back?â
âWe should be back the day after tomorrow. Letâs get together then!â
âSounds good.â Sage then brought up the topic of Wilsonâs female classmate again.
Tiana told Sage that ever since she started sending lunch to Wilson, his female classmate had kept her
distance and hadnât acted out of line.
Î
Then, she mentioned that she had picked out a platinum bracelet for her motherâinâlaw and a ceramic
teapot for her fatherâinâlaw. 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.
âWanda, has Ian gone out already?â
âYes. Mr. Holcomb left early for the office.â
Sage immediately dialed Ianâs number. She half expected him not to answer, but his cold voice came
through after a few rings. âWhat is it?â
Sage walked away to a secluded corner and asked quietly, âHave you signed the divorce papers? Can
we go get the divorce certificate this morning?â
Ian remained apathetic. âNo. Iâm busy.â
Sage couldnât shake the worry that had crept in after what Tiana had said. Could Ian be having second
thoughts about the divorce?
âI understand youâre too busy to get the divorce certificate, but you can at least find some time to sign
the divorce papers, right?â Sage grew anxious. âWhere are you right now? Iâll come to you.
âMy office.â He then hung up the phone.
Sage walked over to the dining table. Wanda was no longer in the living room, so she probably hadnât
overheard their conversation.
