A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 24

Ian’s voice came drifting into Sage’s ear when she was in the midst of stomping on the gas pedal. She raised her head immediately, only to find out that Ian was already standing next to her car.

Yes, she might be embarrassed because of what happened, but she wasn’t so immature to turn down his helping hand at a time like this.

Sage pouted as she undid her seatbelt and got out of the driving seat.

Ian got into the driving seat and spun the steering wheel around casually. Then, he threw the gear into reverse and slammed his foot onto the gas pedal. Just like that, he was able to back the tire out of the pit effortlessly.

Soon, he got out of the driving seat. “You can continue practicing now.”

Sage pouted once again as she got back into the seat. The moment she buckled her seatbelt, she was surprised to see lan getting into the front passenger seat.

“What are you doing here?” she demanded with a frown.

Ian shot Sage a glance. Instead of answering her question, he asked, “Why did you style your hair like this?”

Sage gazed at her shoulder–length wavy hair in the rearview mirror.

“It’s my hair. I do as I please to it. It has nothing to do with you.”

Ian’s expression crumbled slightly at Sage’s response.

“Is there anything else you’d like to talk about? If not, then get out of my car. Can’t you. see that I’m busy?”

Sage didn’t hesitate to chase lan out of her car.

Ian forced his anger down for the time being. He put on his seatbelt before snapping coldly, “Aren’t you going to practice your driving skills? What are you sitting around for?”

Sage could tell what Ian was up to. “Mind your own business. I’m fine with practicing

on my own.

Ian huffed in response. “In that case, how the hell did you get your tire stuck in a pit just now?”

“It was too dark. I just so happened to not notice the pit,” Sage grumbled stubbornly. “Are you sure you’ll be driving to brightly lit places without any obstacles in your way from now on?”
