A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 215

Ian felt a twinge of regret for letting her go when he looked at Sage. Even though she was wearing a modest swimsuit, it failed to cover her slender, long legs and curves.

"Ian, are you listening?" Calvin called out again.

Ian looked away, his tone tinged with irritation. "What is it?"

"Why are you so cranky? What? Are you pent-up?" Calvin teased. Little did he know that his joke would hit a nerve.

"In the future, just call Terry when you need something. Don't call me ever again!" Ian then hung up the phone on him.

Calvin was left hanging, puzzled. What did he do wrong? Why couldn't he call Ian anymore?

…

Meanwhile, Sage found Tiana. The latter had sent her colleagues away as if she knew the former would come looking for her. Tiana sat in the rose pond, holding her phone with a grin.

"What are you laughing at? You're going to get me killed!" Sage grumbled as she eased into the pool.

"What did I do? I brought you here to soak in the hot springs, not to cozy up to Ian!" Tiana teased. "You guys hugged it out like you never wanted to let go of each other. Those who didn't know any better would've thought you guys were newlyweds rather than on the brink of divorce."

Sage's face began to heat up again as she thought about what had just happened. Things weren't as it seemed, but she couldn't tell Tiana that Ian was aroused, so she had to go along with her nonsense.

"Oh, look who's blushing now?" Tiana continued. "You have no idea how envious and jealous my colleagues were just now. The girls were squealing next to me, telling me they couldn't take it anymore and that they wanted to get married and fall in love. I almost went deaf!"
