A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 170

Was he out of his mind? He used to be so uninterested in her. He wouldn't even spare her a glance when she walked around him in lingerie. Why was he holding onto her waist and giving her that look now?

Sage was so angry that she tried to shake his hand off. However, Ian seemed to have caught on and pulled her closer to him.

"What the hell are you doing?" she fumed.

His expression was unreadable. "Why did you call me? I missed it because I was in a meeting."

"Don't worry. I accidentally dialed your number."

"Were you upset that I left early at the company party last time?" he asked. There were only inches between the couple.

Sage pried his hand away. "Let go of me!"

Ian didn't budge. "Answer me."

Her expression hardened when she noticed that he didn't seem willing to let go of her. "No. Could you please let me go now?"

Her tone was cold, and her eyes narrowed. It contrasted strongly with the smile on her face when she first walked into the room.

Ian was annoyed. He released Sage and said coldly, "Do you seriously want me to believe you're not upset? It's clear as day that you are."

"Why does it matter to you?" Sage sneered. "This is ridiculous, Ian. It's been ages. Why are you only bringing this up now?"

"It doesn't matter how much time has passed. You should still explain yourself." Calvin's advice echoed in his mind.

Ian pursed his thin lips and said lowly, "It was just too chaotic that night. I was caught up in a whirlwind of things and didn't have time to tend to you. It was my fault.

"Grandma told me you've always wanted to go to the hot springs at Greenfield. My company's team-building event will be held there this Saturday. You're welcome to come along."
