Chapter 26

“I don’t care about the beginning and the end of my life. Life goes on for me as usual. I’ll forever cherish all three meals every day, and I’ll also remember to be kind throughout the seasons of life. The best moment will come to me on the best day with the nicest weather where someone finally joins me on my walkway of life.”

There was a photo of a fancy spread decked out on the table below the post. Next to it was a selfie of Ivy’s side profile.

The photos and the tagline made it seem like Ivy was just posting about her daily life in an artistic way. But those who were observant enough would notice a small section of a man’s arm being revealed in a corner of Ivy’s selfie.

It was evident that the man was wearing a dress shirt. The watch he wore might not be eye–catching, but it came from a luxury brand.

Sage was very familiar with the watch. In fact, it was one of the watches Ian often

wore.

It turned out that Ian had been staying with Ivy this whole time.

Then again, it wasn’t unusual for him to be there. He had summoned all of his willpower just to suppress his lust that night.

Since Sage refused to sleep with Ian, he’d have to find another woman to bed. He

was known to be a germaphobe who couldn’t care less about random women,

hence the lack of romantic scandals he was involved in.

That was why Ian had no choice but to seek comfort and relief from Ivy, also

known as his female best friend.

Ian and Ivy must have gotten a lot closer than usual these days. That was probably the reason why Ivy decided to post such sentimental stuff on her feed.

Sage chuckled dryly as she deleted Ivy from her friends list on the social media platform.
