A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186 

Sage wondered why Linda was in such a good mood despite the savory news. 

After hanging up the phone, she looked at the messy kitchen and immediately arranged for a cleaner to come and take care of it. It was such a shame that Wanda was off today. 

A woman who treated herself as a housekeeper as well would only end up with endless chores. Sage couldn’t be bothered to be a virtuous wife who did all the work herself. She would rather take a nice bath and wash away the stench of that filthy man. 

Meanwhile, Ian received a video call from his grandmother while he was in the study. 

“Ian, what happened to your lips? It looks like it’s bleeding,” Linda asked, concerned. 

Ian wiped away the blood and replied perfunctorily, “It’s nothing. I just accidentally bit it.” 

However, Linda smiled knowingly when she heard that. “Sage bit you, didn’t she?” 

Ian narrowed his eyes when he thought of what had happened earlier. Sage had bitten both his lips and his tongue. He had just checked. She had bitten him until he bled. 

Sage was going all out now. She didn’t even falter in that situation. 

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you regretting your recklessness? Girls are like that. You’ve got to go along with what she wants. Only then she’ll be happy.” 

Linda grumbled, “I’ve always told you to be nice to Sage, but you never listen! Now it’s come to a point where Sage doesn’t want to be with you anymore! Yet you’re not even attempting to win her back. Furthermore, you just keep upsetting her!” 

Ian was still in a bad mood. “I’m not so sure she’s done with me. I think she has just changed her tactics and has gotten craftier now.” 

“You’re going to be the death of me, you rascal!” Linda exclaimed in frustration. “She’s almost at the point of no return! Yet, here you are acting all high and mighty. You will regret this in the future! Don’t come crying to me then!” 

Ian was nowhere to be seen, and the housekeeper arrived right after Sage had showered and returned downstairs. She crossed her legs and scrolled through her phone as the housekeeper cleaned the kitchen and the house.

He had always possessed formidable self–control. So why had he started to feel this inexplicable desire to dominate Sage and reduce her to tears whenever he caught a whiff of her intoxicating scent lately? Could it be that her perfume had an aphrodisiacal effect on 

him? 

“If you don’t move out of the way, I’ll kick you!” Sage threatened, attempting to sound composed. Ian remained motionless. 

“You sure have gone to great lengths just to impress me.” His voice was raspy as he scoffed. He then released her and left the kitchen. 

Sage was dumbfounded. What the hell? How could he spout such nonsense after he took advantage of her? She should’ve bitten him harder earlier and shut him up for good! 

The kitchen was a mess. There was flour and dough scattered all over the marble countertops and floor. 

Frustrated, Sage called Linda to complain. She told Linda that Ian had only made things worse by ruining the ingredients for the mille crepe cake, which meant she couldn’t make it for her this morning. 

Linda chided, “That little rascal doesn’t know how to do anything other than work and earn money. Sage, you should ask him to do more when you’re free. That way, he won’t be a nuisance next time.” 

Sage fell silent. There wouldn’t be a next time. She never wanted to cook with Ian again. 

“It’s okay. You don’t need to redo it. I just had a sudden craving for it yesterday. I forgot that the doctor told me to eat less sweets anyway,” Linda reassured with a smile.
