A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 202

"He's just used to expressing his feelings. Give it a few days, and he'll back off."

Sage was a little disappointed when she heard that. "If only he would persist for a little while longer…"

Ian eyed Sage suspiciously.

Tiana's husband might have felt a sense of urgency about his marriage and started paying more attention to Tiana if Calvin persisted for a little while longer. However, she couldn't tell Ian that.

Hence, she said, "It's complicated."

Ian was rendered speechless. The driver dropped Sage off at Solaris Estate.

"I'll help you apply the ointment on your shoulder tonight, so don't bother Wanda," Ian said as she got out of the car.

Calvin had mentioned it last night as well. Still, she declined. "It's alright. Wanda can handle it."

He added lowly, "My waist is also injured. I'll practice on you first."

Sage quipped, "Maybe you should just keep your mouth shut. It might just speed up both our recoveries." Then, she walked away without sparing him another glance.

Ian frowned. He wondered why her reaction was different from what he had imagined. After all, he couldn't bring himself to act pitiful like Calvin. He had come up with a more reasonable explanation for his actions. Yet, Sage wasn't having any of it.

"Women are so difficult to understand," he groaned inwardly.

…

Sage was resting her eyes in the afternoon when she received a message from Shane. "The fishies have taken the bait."

She immediately perked up. "Can you catch them?"

"Relax. They're being cautious right now. However, with the right bait, I'm sure they'll take it."
