A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 53 There was a distant look in Ian’s eyes. He even frowned a little, Ivy was stunned when she saw that reaction. She began to feel a little awkward. Still, Ivy didn’t reveal her emotions on her face. She straightened herself as she apologized gently. “Ian, no matter what, I’m the one at fault for what happened today. I’m willing to take any punishment or reprimand.” With the explanations so far, Ivy’s actions seemed excusable. Ian didn’t probe further. He said in a cold voice, “We can’t afford any mistakes in this matter. Get someone to look into Benjamin. If he wasn’t framed, cancel the investment plans.” Ivy hastily said, “Don’t worry, I’ve already asked someone to look into it. If there really is something off with him, you don’t even have to say the word. I won’t dare to partner with him.” Ian’s expression relaxed a little. He rubbed his temples for a bit. “If there’s nothing else, you can leave now.” Ivy could see that Ian was experiencing discomfort. She asked gingerly, “Ian, you don’t seem well. Shall I massage your head? “Every time my dad gets headaches, I’ll massage his head for him. He says that I’m like a professional.” “It’s okay,” Ian declined. “Ask the driver to take me home.” Ivy said gently and casually, “It’s getting late, so why don’t you put up for a night here? We have a meeting about Benjamin tomorrow morning, anyway. You don’t have to rush back and forth.” Ian still declined. “It’s alright.” If Sage got herself into trouble again, Ian wouldn’t have the energy to deal with it. Ivy maintained a gentle smile on her face, but her heart was already filled with jealousy. These days, it was obvious that Ian was beginning to care about Sage. If the incident tonight had happened in the past, Ian wouldn’t have bothered with Sage at all. Ian had always been strict with work. Mimosa was an extremely important project, so Ian wouldn’t delay it. But today, he had chosen Sage over work. Also, it had been a few days, but even until now, he had never mentioned the incident where Delilah rushed into Ivy’s house to humiliate her. He had even intentionally avoided her. This wasn’t a good thing. Ian returned to Solaris Estate. “You’re back, Mr. Holcomb.” Wanda was already used to it by now. “I’ll make you some refreshing tea.” Ian sat on the couch and asked tiredly, “Where’s Sage?” “She has returned to the bedroom to rest. Ian held his forehead. He didn’t say anything more. When Wanda had prepared the tea, she found Ian already asleep on the couch. He was propping up his head, and he seemed to be extremely fatigued. His eyebrows were tightly knitted together. Wanda said softly, “Sir, the tea is ready.” Ian didn’t respond. After thinking for a moment, Wanda went to knock on the door to Sage’s room. + BONUS “Who Is it?” Sage’s wary voice sounded from within the room. “Mrs. Holcomb, it’s me.” In her pajamas, Sage opened the door. “What’s the matter, Wanda?” “Mr. Holcomb has fallen asleep on the couch downstairs. Since it’s nighttime, he might catch a cold. Would you like to get him back into the room to rest?” Wanda could see that Ian and Sage were getting along better now. It was especially obvious in Ian’s case. He was tired out, but he still asked about Sage. At this point, if Sage slightly cared for him a little, he would be touched for sure. So, Wanda came to talk to Sage. When Sage heard Wanda’s words, she wanted to say that it wasn’t her business whether Ian caught a cold or not. But then, she remembered that Ian had indeed. helped her out just now. She had to repay his kindness. So, she turned around and went into the room. Wanda thought that Sage had gone to make the bed so that Ian would sleep more comfortably when he came up later. So, she felt comforted as she waited. Soon, Sage came out with a thin blanket in her hands. “Here.” SURPERISE GIFT: 3000 bonus free for you,activity time is limited!
