A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 165

Calvin pointed out, "Ian, regardless of what she did afterward, the fact is that you left her there and took off with another woman."

Ian didn't get what the big deal was. "Ivy's injury was severe. I didn't have time to attend to Sage. Plus, she wasn't injured anyway. Why couldn't she go home on her own?"

Calvin sighed inwardly. How could Ian ever win his wife back with this kind of mindset? He was hopeless.

"Mrs. Holcomb is a woman, Ian, and an accident happened at the banquet. I'm sure she must've been scared, even if she wasn't physically hurt. How could you leave her behind?

"Did you even think about how she felt? There were so many of your employees and business partners there too. Didn't you think they would have laughed at her?"

Ian's forehead creased when he heard that. He instantly thought of the photo of Sage standing on the dance floor attached to that viral post.

Her face was crestfallen, and her large eyes were dull as she stood alone in the crowd. The post also claimed that she was being neglected, that her marriage was just a façade, and that she was actually getting a divorce.

When he came across the subsequent topics about Mimosa, he assumed that it was part of Sage's plan. However, he hadn't considered the fact that if it hadn't been her doing, then she would've been subjected to ridicule and mockery.

Mulling it over, Ian couldn't shake the sinking feeling he had when he first stumbled upon that tweet that night. "If she wasn't feeling well, why didn't she tell me?"

Calvin analyzed the situation and said. "I reckon she thought telling you wouldn't change anything. Moreover, Mrs. Holcomb is no pushover. She decided to go with the flow and make the best of the situation when she realized she couldn't change public opinion. Of course, she wouldn't bother complaining about being wronged if she benefited from it."

The image of Sage's tear-streaked face popped up in Ian's mind. That night, she said she wasn't upset and wouldn't let herself be taken advantage of. Ian couldn't help but wonder if this was how she felt.

"So… what should I do now?" he asked with a frown.
