A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 119

His skin was ice cold on Sage's lips, carrying the subtle scent of his aftershave. Her heart skipped a beat, and she hastily took a step back. As she did so, she realized that her red lipstick had stained his handsome face.

"Sage, what are you up to? Why'd you start kissing Ian all of a sudden?" Susan asked.

Sage had no idea he would suddenly turn his head! Ian rose from the couch just as she was about to explain herself. "Uncle Owen, Aunt Susan, please excuse me for a moment."

He then took a tissue and disappeared into the lounge. Sage followed suit as she couldn't be bothered to waste her breath on them.

Ian was wiping his face with a tissue when she walked in. His gaze was dark and unreadable. Sage closed the door and cleared her throat. "I didn't mean to… I just—"

"Just spit it out and get it over with," he growled, interrupting her.

Sage didn't beat around the bush either. "Have you signed the divorce agreement?"

Ian looked down at her when he heard that. Sage was much shorter than him and didn't like being looked down upon by Ian. Hence, she stood on her tiptoes and glared at him. "Well? Answer me! Don't just stare at me!"

Ian scoffed. "How could you ask me for the divorce agreement with a straight face after you deliberately called Uncle Owen and Aunt Susan here and acted all lovey-dovey in front of them? How is your skin so thick, Sage Joyner?"

Sage was dumbstruck. What did he say? Sage was too furious to even argue with him. "So have you signed the agreement yet?"

Ian gave her a stink eye. "It's on the desk outside."

Sage rolled her eyes, but she had gotten the answer she wanted. So, she turned around to open the door. But as soon as she opened the door, she noticed Susan leaning against the door as if she had been eavesdropping.

"Sage, what were you and Ian talking about signing just now?" Susan asked before Sage could ask what she was doing.
