Chapter 207
Ian was baffled by her abrupt change of demeanor. Even though he intended to mend their relationship, he found it hard to keep his cool when he looked at her tear–filled eyes and distant demeanor. “Sage Joyner, why are you being so fickle?”
Sage looked up at him and retorted, “I’m pretty sure you’re the fickle one. In the past, I begged you to bring me here, but you couldn’t be bothered to. Yet, you now insist on bringing me here when I told you I wasn’t interested anymore. Ian Holcomb, aren’t you just doing this because I haven’t been paying much attention to you lately?”
“Do you seriously think that I’m doing this because I’m upset?” Ian countered.
“What else could it be?” she scoffed. “Would you notice me, care about what I think, or bring me here on your own if I were still revolving around you every day like I used to?”
For a moment, he was stumped. In the past, Sage was too clingy. She would always want him to spend time with her, and she always wanted his eyes to be on her. Sage would do anything to grab his attention. She’d doll herself up and wear revealing outfits just to bring him a glass
of milk
However, those tactics were child’s play. Not only did she cry, make a scene, and complain
when Ivy joined the company, but she also threatened and harassed Ivy, causing Ivy to suffer unjustly.
The mere thought of Sage’s constant demands and relentless questioning made his head throb. Ian didn’t even want to go home, let alone bring her to Holcomb Estate.
“I had a feeling you wouldn’t,” Sage sneered. “I know you despise me and want me to stay as far away from you as possible. Yet, you’re feeling upset because of your ego after I’ve given
you what you wanted.
“Ian Holcomb, I might’ve been hopelessly in love with you in the past, but I’m not some toy you can play with when it suits you and discard when you’re done! I have feelings, too!” Sage then turned on her heels and walked downstairs with tears brimming in her eyes.
The housekeeper noticed her and asked, “Mrs. Holcomb, do you have any food allergies?”
“Thanks, but don’t bother. I’ll be leaving now.” Sage walked straight out of Holcomb Estate.
The estate was situated in a rich neighborhood, where every household owned a car, so it was rare to see cabs there. Sage pulled out her phone and was about to hail when she noticed Ian’s car approaching her.
“Get in,” Ian said as he rolled down the window of the back seat.
Sage turned him down. “No thanks. I’ll hail a cab on my own.”

‘Even if I only saw you as a ‘toy‘, I wouldn’t leave you here.” His tone was indifferent. “Get in the car. I brought you here, so I’m obligated to take you home.”
Sage decided to get in the car after she heard that. After she did, Ian didn’t say anything else. He booted up his laptop and started to check his emails. The couple rode in silence.
Wanda was already home when they arrived at Solaris Estate. “Mr. and Mrs. Holcomb, you must be starving! I’ve prepared dinner. Please dig in,” she said as soon as she noticed them.
