A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 226

"Don't you watch where you're going?" Ian grumbled. Sage had almost gotten hit by a car.

Startled, she came to her senses. What was she doing? Why did she suddenly get upset with Ian? Why did she sound so jealous?

It seemed like Tiana had brainwashed her into believing Ian was being good to her and that she didn't want a divorce anymore. Sage was terrified when she noticed a glimmer of hope rising in her heart yet again.

Ignoring Ian, she took a step back and said calmly, "I don't want to go to the mall. I'd just like to go to a pâtisserie."

Ian had expected Sage to become enraged and tell him that it had nothing to do with him and that he didn't need to worry about it. However, she didn't lose her temper at all. She seemed calm and rational instead.

Naturally, he preferred her current reaction—no fuss and no drama. Just straightforward communication. She didn't put up an invisible wall that made it impossible for him to communicate with her.

The couple got back into the car, and Ian casually placed the bag of medication on the dashboard. He then used the GPS to find a renowned pâtisserie.

When they arrived, they noticed a queue snaking out of the store. The pâtisserie must have been popular.

Sage was about to unbuckle her seatbelt and get out of the car when Ian noticed what she was wearing. "Stay in the car. I'll go and get the pastries," he said.

Sage stopped in her tracks when she heard that. Ian then got out of the car. Sage still felt uncomfortable, so she opened the medicine bag and took out an antacid. She felt parched after taking them and grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the car's mini-fridge.

Then, she accidentally spilled some water on the seat and herself while chugging it. Sage hastily wiped it with a tissue and accidentally knocked the medication Ian bought for Ivy onto the ground.
