A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26 

I don’t care about the beginning and the end of my life. Life goes on for me as usual. I’ll forever cherish all three meals every day, and I’ll also remember to be kind throughout the seasons of life. The best moment will come to me on the best day with the nicest weather where someone finally joins me on my walkway of life.” 

There was a photo of a fancy spread decked out on the table below the post. Next to it was a selfie of Ivy’s side profile

The photos and the tagline made it seem like Ivy was just posting about her daily life in an artistic way. But those who were observant enough would notice a small section of a man’s arm being revealed in a corner of Ivy’s selfie

It was evident that the man was wearing a dress shirt. The watch he wore might not be eyecatching, but it came from a luxury brand

Sage was very familiar with the watch. In fact, it was one of the watches Ian often 

wore

It turned out that Ian had been staying with Ivy this whole time

Then again, it wasn’t unusual for him to be there. He had summoned all of his willpower just to suppress his lust that night

Since Sage refused to sleep with Ian, he’d have to find another woman to bed. He 

was known to be a germaphobe who couldn’t care less about random women

hence the lack of romantic scandals he was involved in

That was why Ian had no choice but to seek comfort and relief from Ivy, also 

known as his female best friend

Ian and Ivy must have gotten a lot closer than usual these days. That was probably the reason why Ivy decided to post such sentimental stuff on her feed

Sage chuckled dryly as she deleted Ivy from her friends list on the social media platform

She had added Ivy in the past just so she could spy on her. Now that she no longer

cared about Ian, she decided to kick Ivy out of her social media feed so that she 

could finally relax

After putting her phone away, Sage decided to go out for some fresh air. The moment she drove out of the garage, she heard her phone’s ringtone

Sage glanced at the caller ID. It was a call from Delilah Stromberg, also known as her best friend in her past life

The Stromberg family had transitioned into expanding their company in the finance industry over the past two years. The scale of their company was quite small for the time being

In Sage’s past life, the Strombergs somehow got affiliated with Holcomb Corporation right after her admittance into the mental asylum. As a result, the Strombergscompany shares started skyrocketing

Despite knowing about Sage’s admittance into the asylum, Delilah never bothered visiting her at all

Humans tended to weigh the pros and cons when their own benefits were infringed. Sage knew that principle well, so she didn’t really resent Delilah for 

what the latter did

But Sage also knew that she could never trust Delilah anymore in this lifetime. That was the reason why she never contacted Delilah ever since she came to this lifetime

So, why was Delilah calling her at this time

Sage nudged her foot onto the brakes in order to stop the car. Then, she swiped a finger across her phone’s screen

Where are you right now, Sage?Delilah’s anxious voice drifted through the speakers the moment Sage answered the call

I was about to go on a joyride. What’s the matter?” 

How are you still in the mood for that? Didn’t you see Ibitch’s post on her social media feed?” 

And what’s wrong with that?” 

115 BONUS 

Everything’s wrong with the post! Hurry up and check it out!Delilah urged. I bitch cooked up a feast and even posted a selfie with a man’s arm like the manipulative whore she is

She wrote some bullshit about someone joining her on the walkway of life! God, she might as well announce to the whole world that lan is spending time with her right now!” 

Sage was calm as ever. What does that have to do with me?” 

Are you nuts, Sage? This is terrible news! How could you say it has nothing to do with you?” 

Delilah continued angrily, Don’t go out right now! I’ll come pick you up! Let’s head over to Ibitch’s place and expose her ugly face! That bitch is being shameless as usual!” 

Delilah kept getting angry on Sage’s behalf in her past life. Sage had believed everything Delilah said, causing her to humiliate Ivy countless times afterward. The more Sage humiliated Ivy, the more disgusted and resentful Ian grew

Now, Sage didn’t want to waste time doing such meaningless things. If she wanted to humiliate Ivy once and for all, she’d do so by stealing Ivy’s thunder at her own profession which she took pride in

So, Sage replied, Nah. I might as well use the time to read a few more books. I’m going to end the call now if that’s all you have to say.” 

Sage!Delilah called out hurriedly. Is it because you’re worried that you might run into Ian there? Is that why you don’t want to go over to Ibitch’s place

Why are you this dumb? You’ll be able to get evidence of him cheating on you with Ibitch if you catch him there! Once you hand over the evidence to Mrs. Holcomb Senior, she’ll deal with Ibitch for you! That way, you won’t even have to dirty your own hands!” 

Why would Delilah involve Linda in Sage’s mess of a marriage? Was she planning on stressing the old woman out

Sage’s response came out more clipped than usual. I said, I’m not going. Do you not understand me?” 

+15 BONUS 

Sage-” 

Sage hung up on Delilah right away

The fact that Delilah kept provoking her to start a ruckus at Ivy’s place was more 

than enough to prove that she was up to no good

If it weren’t for the fact that the Joyners and the Strombergs were good friends

which led to Sage and Delilah being best friends for years, she would’ve started a fight with Delilah over the phone just now

The recollection of her experiences while being confined in the mental asylum, coupled with the unpleasant memory of almost getting sexually assaulted by Ian a few days ago, gave Sage an idea. She wanted to pick up some selfdefense skills just so she could protect herself

Sage had always been a decisive person. She wasted no time in researching a couple of gyms and complexes that provided classes on various combat arts

Sometime later, she selected a largescale sports complex that specialized in 

kickboxing techniques

The trainers there had actual combat experience as well. So, Sage keyed the 

location into her car’s GPS and drove over immediately
