Chapter 27 Sage shot Michael a smile. “I’ve just registered for a kickboxing class.” Delight fleeted across Michael’s expression. “What a coincidence! I’m a trainer who specializes in kickboxing!” It really was a coincidence. Sage thought the next time she’d meet Michael would be at a business meeting where they’d negotiate about the collaboration. She didn’t expect to see him so soon. “I guess I’ll be seeing more of you in the future,” Sage said smilingly. “Have fun working. I’ll be leaving now.” “Wait, miss!” Michael called out. “What is it?” Sage asked. Michael offered shyly, “I don’t know how to repay you for the kindness you’ve shown me back then. Why don’t I treat you to a cup of joe?” Sage just smiled while shaking her head. “Perhaps next time. I don’t want to take up your time since you’re working at the moment.” “It’s fine. Actually, I’m about to get off work,” Michael said hurriedly. He had a youthful face, to begin with. The sight of him looking so anxious made. him seem like an inexperienced and gullible teenager. Sage could finally understand how older women felt when they laid their eyes on vulnerable young men like Michael. She could practically feel her heart go out to him. Her lips curled into a small smile. “In that case, I’ll take you up on your offer.” “Okay! Just give me a moment, yeah? I’ll be back as soon as I change my clothes!” Michael acted very quickly. He had already exited the sports complex by the time. Sage reversed her car out of the parking slot. 1/4 +15 BONUS “Get in,” she said. Michael got into the car while looking at ease. Sage said jokingly, “I’m not that good at driving, so you’d better be prepared for what’s about to happen.” “It’s fine. I trust you,” Michael responded seriously, his clear eyes boring into Sage’s eyes. For some reason, she felt responsible for his safety. This elicited a light giggle from her. “Where are we going?” she asked. “What would you like to drink? It’s my treat.” Sage thought for a moment before replying, “Let’s go to a coffee shop.” She had always been a huge fan of lattes when she was still studying at her university. There was one time when she wanted to share her favorite beverage with Ian. One day, Sage spent almost an hour lining up just to buy a hot latte which happened to be the most popular drink at a well–known coffee shop in the university town. When she handed it to Ian, he claimed that he took his coffee black and that he would never drink low–quality coffee.

I assure you that it’ll taste great. Just try it out, alright?” Back then, Ian was probably in a rush to use the elevator, so he accepted the latte reluctantly. After Sage washed her hands in the restroom and walked out, she noticed an extra latte nestling inside a trash can when she walked past it. … Read More “A Farewell After Being Reborn Book – Chapter 27” »
Category: A Farewell After Being Reborn
Sage Joyner is reborn and given a second chance at life. In her previous life, she spent eight years of her life madly in love with Ian Holcomb. But all she got in return was a divorce certificate and a terrible death in a mental institution. Now that she’s been reborn, the first thing she wants to do is divorce Ian! At first, Ian is as cold and disdainful as always. “Don’t even dream of threatening me with a divorce. I don’t have time for your tantrums!”After the divorce, Sage’s career sets off, and countless outstanding men surround her. That’s when Ian loses his cool. He pins Sage to the wall and says, “I was wrong, babe. Let’s remarry …”Sage looks icy. “Thanks, but no thanks. You are not my type anymore.”
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. She had added Ivy in the past just so she could spy on her. Now that she no longer +15 BONUS cared about Ian, she decided to kick Ivy out of her social media feed so that she could finally relax. After putting her phone away, Sage decided to go out for some fresh air. The moment she drove out of the garage, she heard her phone’s ringtone. Sage glanced at the caller ID. It was a call from Delilah Stromberg, also known as her best friend in her past life. The Stromberg family had transitioned into expanding their company in the finance industry over the past two years. The scale of their company was quite small for the time being. In Sage’s past life, the Strombergs somehow got affiliated with Holcomb Corporation right after her admittance into the mental asylum. As a result, the Strombergs‘ company shares started skyrocketing. Despite knowing about Sage’s admittance into the asylum, Delilah never bothered visiting her at all. Humans tended to weigh the pros and cons when their own benefits were infringed. Sage knew that principle well, so she didn’t really resent Delilah for what the latter did. But Sage also knew that she could never trust Delilah anymore in this lifetime. That was the reason why she never contacted Delilah ever since she came to this lifetime. So, why was Delilah calling her at this time? Sage nudged her foot onto the brakes in order to stop the car. Then, she swiped a finger across her phone’s screen. “Where are you right now, Sage?” Delilah’s anxious voice drifted through the speakers the moment Sage answered the call. “I was about to go on a joyride. What’s the matter?” “How are you still in the mood for that? Didn’t you see I–bitch’s post on her social media feed?” “And what’s wrong with that?” 115 BONUS “Everything’s wrong with the post! Hurry up and check it out!” Delilah urged. “I bitch cooked up a feast and even posted a selfie with a man’s arm like the manipulative whore she is! “She wrote some bullshit about someone joining her on the walkway of life! God, she might as well announce to the whole world that lan is spending time with her right now!” Sage was calm as ever. “What does that have to do with me?” “Are you nuts, Sage? This is terrible news! How could you say it has nothing to do with you?” Delilah continued angrily, “Don’t go out right now! I’ll come pick you up! Let’s head over to I–bitch’s place and expose her ugly face! That bitch is being shameless as usual!” Delilah kept getting angry on Sage’s behalf in her past life. Sage had believed everything Delilah said, causing her to humiliate Ivy countless times afterward. The more Sage humiliated Ivy, the more disgusted and resentful Ian grew. Now, Sage didn’t want to waste time doing such meaningless things. If she wanted to humiliate Ivy once and for all, she’d do so by stealing Ivy’s thunder at her own profession which she took pride in. So, Sage replied, “Nah. I might as well use the time to read a few more books. I’m going to end the call now if that’s all you have to say.” “Sage!” Delilah called out hurriedly. “Is it because you’re worried that you might run into Ian there? Is that why you don’t want to go over to I–bitch’s place? “Why are you this dumb? You’ll be able to get evidence of him cheating on you with I–bitch if you catch him there! Once you hand over the evidence to Mrs. Holcomb Senior, she’ll deal with I–bitch for you! That way, you won’t even have to dirty your own hands!” … Read More “A Farewell After Being Reborn Book – Chapter 26” »

Chapter 21 Ian had even gotten the idea that Sage was demanding a divorce because she was throwing a tantrum over what had happened that day.

Shane paused to create suspense, then continued, “You won’t be able to make me believe you without a logical reason.” No one would be able to place their faith in a woman who claimed to want to work with them when they’d only seen each other once.
