A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 217

Ian looked up at Calvin, who had already changed into swimming trunks and was now wearing sunglasses. He strutted around like a peacock flaunting its feathers, drawing the admiring glances of many girls.

"Are you done? If so, you're free to go," Ian said, dismissing him.

Unabashed, Calvin said, "Since I've come all this way, and it's still early, it'd be a shame if I didn't soak in this 5-star natural hot spring."

Ian wasn't the least bit surprised by his shamelessness. Plus, he couldn't be bothered to deal with him. He simply ordered, "Stay away from me." He found Calvin's ostentatiousness embarrassing.

"Where's Mrs. Holcomb, Ian?" Calvin was unfazed by his attitude. He snickered. "I heard you guys were recently seen canoodling in public. Is that true?"

The thought of Sage's supple body and the way her cheeks flushed while she was pressed against him reignited Ian's desire. He crossed his long legs and said, "That's none of your business."

"You're so heartless, Ian. How could you prioritize hoes over bros?" Calvin lamented, "I was the one who convinced Ms. Ford to bring Mrs. Holcomb here. Yet, you're not even willing to share such a joyous moment with me!"

"Shut up," Ian snapped, annoyed. He looked ahead and noticed Sage and Tiana getting out of the pool and heading for the dining area. He couldn't help but stare at Sage as she walked away.

Her hair was slightly damp, her curves were accentuated, and her fair skin was glowing under the sunlight. Sage looked like a mermaid who had just emerged from the sea.

Ian had never found Sage particularly attractive in the past. Why did he suddenly think she looked so much better now? He even felt uneasy when other men's gazes lingered on her.

Calvin followed Ian's gaze and spotted Sage and Tiana. The girls were both wrapped in towels and laughing so hard that their eyes crinkled. "Aren't you hungry, Ian? Don't you want to grab something to eat?" he asked pointedly.

Ian looked up at him. "Are you hungry?"

Calvin was aware that Ian just couldn't bring himself to admit that he wanted to be near Sage, so he nodded. "I'm starving. Would you mind grabbing a bite with me?"

Ian begrudgingly rose to his feet. "Let's go."

Calvin trotted over to Tiana and Sage and took off his sunglasses with a flourish. "Hey, ladies!"
