Semua Bab A Farewell After Being Reborn: Bab 631 - Bab 640

She had clearly warned him not to get any ideas about Layla. He was also aware that it was a lost cause. So why did he still want to see Layla? Why did he ask her to give him another chance?Sage briefly comforted Layla and told her she didn't have to pretend to be in a relationship with Henry anymore. If she found him annoying, she could just ignore him.After hanging up, Sage gave it some thought. Recently, Henry had only contacted her twice, saying that everything was fine. Even though Ronald was receiving treatment from doctors abroad, some of his nerves had died because he wasn't treated in time. Hence, he would have to use a wheelchair for the rest of his life.Ivy had probably been demoted recently and was back to working at Bolton Investment. Sandra said she hadn't stirred up any trouble. Thus far, she hadn't noticed anything amiss with the project Shekdotter Incorporated had signed. Sage felt as if something was wrong as she reflected on the recent events. After all,

Noticing her silence, he got annoyed and asked, "Is that too much to ask for, Sage?" Sage thought about it. His request was unreasonable, but it wasn't completely out of line. "Does the gift have to be expensive?" she asked. She wouldn't want to give him anything too expensive. "No, but don't just give me something cheap!" he said through gritted teeth. "Sage, you're the heiress of the Joyner family for crying out loud. Why are you so stingy?"What was wrong with being stingy? In her previous life, she was locked up in a mental asylum with nothing to her name, and she couldn't ask anyone to help her. If she had money back then, she wouldn't have suffered as much. Hence, she wasn't going to waste her hard-earned money in this life. However, she couldn't explain all this to Shane. "Alright, alright. I'll carefully and solemnly choose a gift for you.""That's more like it," he responded, satisfied.Once the issue was settled, she brought up Henry's situation with Shane and to

Wendy believed she understood her son well. He was proud and would never compromise with himself to accommodate others. Moreover, no one could make her son act so irrationally. Therefore, she concluded that her son couldn't have changed hospitals just because of Tiana. He was simply annoyed that she was already planning his second marriage right after their divorce and was using this transfer as a way to rebel against her.His previous marriage had caused a lot of emotional distress for him. He had just managed to break free from it. It was only natural that he didn't want to get married again. It was her fault for being too hasty.Wendy reassured him, "I will never interfere in your personal affairs again, and I'll also reduce my contact with Dr. Gates. "Wilson, the hospital values you. As long as you're willing to go back, they'll be thrilled to have you. Please go back to your old hospital."Wilson insisted, "Mom, I've already told you that I'm not going back."This time, We

Tiana chose not to respond to his question, and Wilson realized he had overstepped his boundaries. Back when they were married, she never asked about his whereabouts. Now that they were divorced, what right did he have to ask about hers?"I'm sorry, I just thought it's been a while since we've had dinner together, and I genuinely wanted to invite you out," he apologized.She responded lukewarmly. "Dr. Tate, your high-brow parents would surely be furious with me if they caught wind of your actions. We're divorced now. I don't want to live under the shadow you cast anymore.""Tiana—""I'm not joking around or playing games to spite you. No one at the hospital knows about our history. Please be mindful of how your actions might affect things, Dr. Tate. "Let's not have a repeat of what happened in the cafeteria earlier this day. It would be better if we just pretended not to know each other like before, for both our sakes." Tiana then hung up on him.Wilson held onto his phone and

As a familiar scent drew near, Sage knew who had walked in without even turning around. For the past couple of weeks, Ian hadn't shown up in front of her except for yesterday at Holcomb Manor. Sage assumed he had finally come to his senses and would no longer pester her. But lo and behold, here he was, walking into the shop."Mr. Holcomb, why'd you get out of the car? Didn't you have something to do?" Surprised, Abby turned around."Is this gentleman your boyfriend, Miss? He's more handsome than all the short drama leads I've ever seen!" exclaimed the young retail assistant. "This rosary bracelet would suit him perfectly. Why don't you buy one and give it to him?"When she heard that, Abby hurriedly set the bracelet down. "You can't just say things like that, young lady. He's not my boyfriend. The person he likes is this beautiful lady right here!"The retail assistant looked in the direction Abby pointed to and realized Ian's eyes were glued to the beautiful woman, who was stand
