A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 25

It sounded as though a drunkard had just crashed into the wall after losing their balance,

That thought weirded Sage out. Wanda and Ian were the only ones staying in Solaris Estate. None of them would ever drink.

The next thing she knew, her room door was flung open from the outside with a loud click.

Ian actually stumbled into the room afterward. He staggered about like he was about to keel over at any given moment. His cheeks were unnaturally flushed, with sweat beading on his forehead. Even the corners of his eyes were unusually red.

Sage’s instincts screamed at her that something was wrong. She closed her laptop with the intention of kicking Ian out of her room.

When lan heard the whining, he didn’t stop kissing her at all. Instead, he responded by biting down on her lips forcibly as though he was annoyed by the sounds.

Wanda bounded up the stairs hurriedly as soon as she heard Sage’s scream. It was then she saw Ian and Sage trapped in an intimate embrace, his head hovering inches above her neck hungrily.

Stunned, Wanda was rooted to the spot.

“Wanda, help me-

“Get out!” Ian covered Sage’s mouth while growling out that order hoarsely.
