A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 155

Sage’s grin didn’t anger Ian in the slightest. It had been a while since she smiled so brightly at him. Usually, she only gave him cold smirks and an occasional gleeful laugh when she pranked him.

Sage’s smile might have been fake, but it stirred something in him. Her smile, once common, had become rarer lately. He struggled to get used to its absence.

“Don’t worry. Your card might still be with me, but it’s technically still yours,” she added in the face of his silence.

“Sage, don’t be childish,” he said with a snort. “Didn’t I say that you have the freedom to do anything with the gift I gave you? I’m only here to tell you this before I leave: Terry has taken care of the incident last night. It will not happen again.”

With that, Ian left in great strides, leaving her frozen in shock. Ian’s behavior was unusual. Why did he defend her, and why wasn’t he angered by her provocation?

She decided to put her thoughts behind her. She had never managed to read his mind anyway. Nonetheless, she felt relieved to learn that Ian had taken care of the incident last night.
