A Farewell After Being Reborn

“Haven’t you had enough of this, Sage? When will you stop causing trouble?” Ian snarled.

Sage laughed silently. She was his wife, yet he treated her worse than he did an outsider.

But before she could say anything, Ivy said, “Don’t be so fierce toward Sage, Ian.”

She turned to Sage and explained, “Ian didn’t drop by just to celebrate my birthday, Sage. It’s just that my father invited him over for a meal because he hadn’t seen Ian in ages.

“I didn’t expect you to get the wrong idea about this and even get hurt. I feel terrible, which is why I came over to explain the situation to you. Please, don’t be mad at Ian anymore. This is all my fault.”

Ivy’s tone was soft and gentle, as was her smile. Her apology also sounded earnest.

Sage could still remember how Ivy had also followed Ian home in her previous life. She’d given her the same explanation. But at the time, they’d been in the bedroom.

Sage had listened to Ivy’s explanation but had been enraged to see them looking so perfect standing side by side. In a fit of rage, she’d screamed at Ivy to get lost and had grabbed a vase from the bedside table and flung it at Ivy.

The vase had hit Ivy in the head, making her bleed and faint. Ian had been furious. He’d immediately lifted Ivy into his arms and taken her to the hospital. Then, he’d stayed there to take care of her for a few days.
