A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 248

Shane, perhaps distracted by some fun thoughts, readily agreed to Sage's plan and promised to carry it out smoothly.

After hanging up, Sage laid on the king bed in her hotel room with a lingering fear for what happened earlier that night. She felt thankful that Donald wasn't hurt, otherwise she'd blame herself for it.

After lying around for a bit, she heard a text notification on her phone. Terry had texted her. "Unblock my number."

She could tell from the tone that Ian had composed the text. After hanging up on Ian the other night, she had blocked his contact on her phone.

To hell with his request! His text irked her. If only he agreed to the divorce, Ivy wouldn't have repeatedly stirred trouble for her.

Ian called her hotel room number after she refused to reply to his text. Annoyed, she unplugged the landline in her room for some peace. She later thought through the list of tasks to do next before taking a shower and going to sleep.

In the middle of her sleep, she groggily heard the door unlocking. Following that, she heard Ian softly thanking someone.

Heart sinking, she sat up in her bed. Ian had indeed shown up in front of her, donning the same suit he wore in the video call with Donald. He carried a small briefcase, looking as if he had hastily made his way here.

"W-Why are you here?" she stammered in shock. Why did he show up at Colville at this hour?

He calmly placed his briefcase on the floor and removed his jacket, which he placed in the closet. He moved around naturally, like a husband who had returned home.

"Why would the hotel staff let you in?" Sage confronted him coldly after collecting herself.
