A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 266

"Okay." Sage was relieved. Thank goodness she didn't make them worry. "Could you have someone bring me a change of clothes please? I'll take a quick shower before we head to the station to give our statements."

"Don't you have anything else to say about what happened last night?" Ian couldn't help but ask when he noticed how calm and collected she was after her initial embarrassment.

"What else am I supposed to say?" she asked. "Benjamin is behind bars, and Grandpa and Grandma are none the wiser. Isn't that good news?"

"So all this time you've been kicking up a fuss and insisting on divorce because I haven't consummated our marriage?" he asked lowly.

Sage sneered as she realized that was what he wanted to talk about. "You're reading too much into it. Last night was just an accident. I won't hold you accountable for taking advantage of me either. After all, you saved me, so I suppose we're even now.

"Let's go to the court tomorrow once Grandma's birthday celebration is over and get that divorce certificate."

"Haven't you had enough of this, Sage Joyner?" Ian roared. "Last night, you couldn't even stand the mere mention of divorce! Why are you acting like a completely different person after you've woken up?"

Sage scoffed. "Well, you're not wrong. You could think of me as a different person. But this is honestly so strange. Why are you upset when I'm the one who was taken advantage of?"

"Is that all this is to you?" he asked coldly.

"What else could it be?" she shot back.

Ian gritted his teeth. "Are you saying that no matter who it was last night, you'd still end up getting the short end of the stick?"
