A Farewell After Being Reborn

Sage laughed to herself. In her previous life, she’d waited for eight years to receive a divorce certificate and news of him marrying Ivy. How could he fall for her in a month in this life?

“I just want to know whether you’d still want to get a divorce if Ian realizes how great you are and falls for you,” Linda said.

Sage met her hopeful gaze and nodded resolutely. “Yes.”

No matter how this life turned out, she still didn’t want to have anything to do with Ian anymore.

She’d had enough of the bitterness of love. She wanted to stay away from Ian and start a new life!

After walking out of Holcomb Manor, Sage saw Ian sitting in the car with a dark expression. Despite all the trouble they’d gone to, the divorce had still fallen through. She bet Ian thought she and Linda had schemed to pull this off.

She could already foresee Ian humiliating and interrogating her once she got into the car, so she decided to ignore him and hail a cab herself.

“Get in the car!” Ian ordered coldly when he saw what she was up to.

“Thanks, but no thanks. We’re going in different directions,” Sage said huffily. She was annoyed that they hadn’t managed to go through with the divorce. Why would she be dumb enough to serve herself on a silver platter for Ian to humiliate and insult her?
