Her face turned crimson as she hastily covered her chest and retreated into the room. Her pajamas were done up perfectly fine when she went to bed last night. How had the buttons come undone? Her pajamas were of an ordinary and conservative style, and the buttons couldn't have come undone on their own. Even if Ian hadn't unbuttoned them, they must've come undone while he was carrying her to bed!Sage buried her face in her hands as she thought about how she had just opened the door in such a state. She was mortified. She changed her clothes, freshened up, and put on some light makeup before cautiously cracking the door open just a bit to take a look outside.The doctor had already put away his medical instruments and was speaking sternly to Ian. "Your fever has gone down, but you're still quite weak. You need to rest. Be sure to avoid alcohol while you're taking your medication. You got lucky this time because you're healthy. Who knows what will happen next time if you aren't car

"If you've got something to tell me, just spit it out. There's no need to go to a restaurant for that." Ian sunk into the couch.Sage wasn't the least bit surprised to hear that. She simply smiled and said, "Alright." Then, she disappeared into the room. Soon, she returned, holding two folders. Ian recognized them right away. His forehead creased as he said, "Did I not make myself clear that night? Or are you hinting at me to do something with you because I've been neglecting you recently?"Sage wondered how the CEO of a company could utter such things without feeling embarrassed. She placed the documents in front of Ian and said, "I'm not here to argue with you, nor am I acting up. I just haven't had a chance to talk to you about this because you were sick and swamped with work."She continued solemnly, "The other day, you said you'd go to the court with me and explain everything to our families after you finished this project, and I agreed. "I know you wouldn't come up with ex

"Tsk, you're such an ugly crier," Shane remarked disdainfully. "Weren't you acting all tough just now? You even bashed his head. What happened to that?"Sage had been scared the whole time! Wait... "You saw that? Why didn't you show up earlier to help me?" she asked through her sobs. She had been scared out of her wits and thought she was done for!"That guy was huge! I can't take on a bear. Obviously, I had to wait for the police to show up," he answered matter-of-factly. Sage was at a loss for words. All she could do was stare at him with tear-filled eyes. "Stop staring. Your eyeballs are going to pop out of your sockets." Shane impatiently helped her up from the ground. "Come on, get up. I'm busy."Sage felt a jolt of pain in her ankle as she stood up. She figured she had sprained her ankle, so she shifted her weight onto her other foot and let go of his arm. Puzzled, she inquired, "What are you doing in Morita?" There was no way this was a coincidence. There was a glin

Sage couldn't help but sneer when she noticed Ian's displeasure and accusatory tone. "Why can't I stick up for him? I told you last time that I intend to move on with him."Ian was rendered speechless. After all, she had indeed told him on the phone last time that she wanted to move on. He recalled the way Shane had put his arm around her. It was so natural, and she didn't resist at all. Yet, she would recoil at even the slightest touch from him, as if she was afraid that he would take advantage of her. Ian wondered why she wasn't wary of Shane."So you're in such a hurry to get a divorce just to be with him?" he asked with a hardened expression. His grip on her foot tightened slightly. "Ouch!" Sage yanked her foot back. "And what if I am?"Her words made him furious. "Do you think he'll fall for you just because you're interested in him? Even if he does, his family would never accept a divorced woman like you into their family!"Sage chuckled and raised her head. "That's my bu

That was such a stupid question! He wouldn't have asked Calvin if he knew what he had done wrong! "Stop beating around the bush and just spit it out!" Ian snapped.Calvin covered his ringing ears. "Ian, answer me this first. Do you think Mrs. Holcomb was behind what happened last time?"Ian didn't answer him. Instead, he recounted the details of that evening. Sage was very upset with Ivy before they went to the drugstore. When they arrived, she picked out the medication and paid for it on her own. "Then, for some reason, she calmed down and said she wanted to buy some pastries. She stayed in the car while I went to get them, and yes, she did touch the bag of medications." "So… you do think it's her doing?" Calvin inquired.Ian didn't like the way he phrased that. "I was just stating the facts. The truth hasn't come to light yet, and I never said she was behind it."Calvin sighed once more. "But after what you've said, it sounds to me like you're blaming Mrs. Holcomb. So, one of
