Category: A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 183  Delilah kept apologizing to Sage and seeking reconciliation. She also promised to always consider her feelings and opinions in the future. Sage wasn’t in the mood to deal with Delilah, so she made up a few excuses and hung up on her. Feeling uneasy, she sent a message to her grandfather, asking him to warn her uncle not to be overly ambitious. Exhaustion swept over her after she took care of these things. So, she laid back on her bed and soon drifted off to sleep on the newly changed bedding. Sage was fast asleep when she felt something heavy on her waist. She tried to shake it off, but it wouldn’t budge. When she opened her eyes, she noticed that Ian had slipped back into the room. His arm was resting on her waist, and she was facing him with her head nestled against his shoulder. The first thing that came into view was his sharp jawline. Even though both of them were in their own blankets, she still felt uncomfortable being in such an intimate position. Hence, she abruptly pushed his arm away and sat up in bed. Ian squinted at her groggily, closed his eyes, and went back to sleep. Sage was flabbergasted. How did she end up next to Ian when she clearly remembered she had fallen asleep on the edge of the bed? It was still early. Ian, who was always disciplined and woke up early, looked like he had no intention of getting out of bed. But Sage couldn’t fall back asleep. Thus, she put on a jacket and went to the kitchen to make the mille crepe cake. The dough in the fridge had already risen, so Sage took it out and rolled it into strips. Then, she flattened it into discs. Then, she added the prepared filling and kneaded it into the dough. It still needed to be kneaded into strips, cut into mini balls, and pressed into the shape of small cakes before placing them in the oven. There were quite a few steps. Ian came downstairs as Sage busied herself. His tall, handsome figure exuded an air of elegance that his loungewear couldn’t detract from. He walked toward her steadily. It seemed like she hadn’t done a number on him last night since he was completely fine now. Ian halted right in front of her, towering over her. “What brings you here?” she asked with a frown. Sage had never seen him enter the kitchen < о 1/2 before. “I heard you’re making mille crepe cake for Grandma. She called me and asked me to help you,” he responded. “It’s alright, I can handle it.” She didn’t need or want his help.

Chapter 182  Her brows knitted together when she noticed the way the sender had addressed her despite the unsaved number. Sage had a fairly good idea who the sender was. “Sage, I’m at Above & Beyond. I ordered your favorite cocktail. I miss our nights out. drinking together.” Sure enough, it was Delilah. Sage assumed she would stop bothering her after their last gathering. Yet, here she was, reaching out to her again. There was no way she actually cared about their friendship. Above & Beyond was one of the most luxurious bars in Haldon. Delilah often held parties there to pretend that she was rolling in it. However, Sage was always the one who had to foot the bill. Could it be that she had one too many drinks and suddenly remembered her ” ATM“? “Sage, you said you’d never be mad at me. You also said you’d give me a chance even if you were. Why did you go back on your word?” She did say that. Back then, she truly regarded Delilah as her best friend. She was naive to think that their friendship would last forever. Little did she know that Delilah would team up with Ivy. In reality, Delilah’s manipulations weren’t all that clever. However, she was desperate for Ian’s love, and she trusted Delilah completely. Hence, she heeded Delilah’s advice and tried to get rid of Ivy time and time again. “Sage, I was in the wrong about what happened in the past. I want to make it up to you, so I asked my dad to reach out to a friend who works as a spice agent. He can order a large amount of spices from Maven Corporation for you.” Sage was about to block Delilah’s number and go to bed when she received the message. She froze, her hand hovering over the block button. In her previous life, the Strombergs had also introduced a business deal to her family. However, something went wrong during the delivery, and the other party refused to accept the goods. Maven Corporation had to pay a hefty penalty for breach of contract and didn’t dare to sell the goods to anyone else. Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates… The goods ended up piling up in a warehouse. This incident tarnished Maven Corporation’s reputation and led to a lot of canceled orders. It was the start of the company’s decline. In her previous life, she hadn’t given these things much thought. But in retrospect, if < 1/2 Delilah had already teamed up with Ivy at the time, there was a good chance tvy had a hand In all of this, So it turned out that Ivy really went out of her way to bring Sage down. Delilah suddenly called her, probably because she hadn’t been replying to her messages. ‘t been replying to her messages. Sage reluctantly answered the phone. Delilah’s pitiful voice rang out. “Sage, I’m serious about this. Why don’t we go find your uncle after my dad and his friend sort things out? That way, your aunt won’t think you’re useless anymore!” “How long will it take for your dad to finalize the deal?” Sage asked. Delilah perked up when Sage didn’t turn her down. “I’m not sure, but my dad said it’d be a billion–dollar deal if it goes through. It’s worth the wait!‘ Sage remained silent. She would never fall for this kind of trap, but her uncle might. Her grandfather once said there was a suitable candidate for the position of vice CEO, but that person had already joined another company. So for the time being, the company was still under her uncle’s control. “Delilah, like I said before, our friendship is over. You don’t need to go out of your way to help my family’s business,” Sage said coldly. “Please tell Uncle Lovell not to worry about us. Maven Corporation is pretty busy right now. Besides, Ian recently helped my uncle close a deal.” To her surprise, Delilah didn’t snap or insist on discussing the deal further. о

Chapter 181  lan, who had been busy in the study, walked in after she showered and finished her skincare routine. Sage didn’t want to talk to him, so she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. The sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom. Shortly after, it stopped and Ian got into the bed. Sage lay perfectly still, attempting to make herself invisible. But the next thing she knew, the covers were being pulled off her. Before she could react, Ian got on top of her. “What the hell are you doing?” she asked angrily, opening her eyes. His arms were propped up on either side of Sage, and his ink–black eyes were unreadable.” Didn’t you resent me for not fulfilling my duties as a husband? I’m making it up to you now. “Ian Holcomb, are you out of your mind?” Sage pushed him, but he wouldn’t budge. All of a sudden, she remembered the self–defense techniques Michael had taught her. When Ian showed no signs of backing away and looked like he was going to force himself on her, Sage raised her knee and drove it into the middle of his thighs. Caught off guard, Ian hissed and doubled over in pain. Sage seized the opportunity and pushed him away again. This time, she had no trouble doing so. Sage, who had initially felt victorious, felt a twinge of embarrassment when she observed his tightly knitted brows, pale complexion, and the part of his body his hand was clutching. It seemed like she had unintentionally hit something she shouldn’t have. Truth be told, she hadn’t meant to. In her desperation, she had raised her knee without much thought. Little did she know that… this would happen. “Are you okay?” she asked worriedly. His eyes burned with anger. “Are you out of your mind? How could you be so ruthless?” He wasn’t actually going to force himself on her. He just wanted her to tone down her Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates… attitude and ask him to forgive her. There was no need to resort to such drastic measures! Her sense of guilt vanished in an instant. “It was your fault for being so arrogant and presumptuous! Is that what you think I meant? I’ll kick you in the balls if you dare to have such thoughts again!” о 1/2 It was his fault for feigning … Read More “A Farewell After Being Reborn Book – Chapter 181” »
