A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 7

Sage found this laughable. When had Ian ever been nice to her? He still didn’t believe she was serious and thought she wanted to use the divorce to smear his reputation. It wasn’t as if getting divorced after a year of marriage was something to be proud of. Why would she go around announcing it to the world? 

“I swear I won’t mention a word about this. If you don’t trust me, you can add it to the divorce agreement as an additional clause,” Sage said with a mocking smile. 

For some reason, her smile irked Ian. “Stop dragging things out. Sign the agreement!” 

He made it sound like she was the one delaying things on purpose. Sage couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. She signed the agreement without hesitation. “Here, your turn.” 

She threw the pen and agreement at Ian, who sat at the other end of the table. Since he’d already had someone print the agreement, why hadn’t he signed it beforehand? He was wasting her time! 

Ian could sense Sage rolling her eyes at him. He suppressed his rage. They wouldn’t have anything to do with each other soon; he would bear with her for a few more minutes! 

Ian picked up the pen. He was about to sign the agreement when his phone rang. He glanced at it to see it was a call from Josephine Hall, the housekeeper who served Linda. 

As soon as he answered it, Josephine cried anxiously, “Mr. Holcomb, Mrs. Holcomb Senior suddenly fainted! I’ve already called a doctor. Hurry up and come over here!” 

Ian shot to his feet when he heard that. He strode out of the room. 

“Wait, where are you going?” Sage cried. “Sign the agreement!” 

Something suddenly occurred to Ian. He glared at her coldly. “Are you behind this?” 

Sage looked baffled. “What are you talking about? Who was that phone call from?” 

She’d deliberately chosen a seat far away from him, so she only knew the person on the other end of the line sounded anxious. She hadn’t heard what had happened. 

Seeing that Sage didn’t look like she was putting on an act, Ian didn’t press her further. “You’d better not be pulling any tricks over anything to do with Grandma, Sage!” 

With that, he hurried off. 

From his reaction and words, Sage could tell this had to do with Linda. She hurriedly called Josephine to find out more. When Josephine told her about Linda fainting, she ran out of the building. 

Linda had always treated her well. Not only had she thought of a way for Sage to marry Ian, but she’d also always spoken up for Sage whenever Sage was aggrieved. Linda was the main reason for Sage and Ian remaining married for so long. 

However, in Sage’s previous life, she’d let Linda down. Later, after she’d been admitted to the mental institution, she’d heard about Linda’s health deteriorating. It was why Linda hadn’t had time to ask about her. 

In this life, though Sage would no longer be Linda’s granddaughter-in-law, she still wouldn’t forget everything Linda had done for her.
