Her brows knitted together when she noticed the way the sender had addressed her despite the unsaved number. Sage had a fairly good idea who the sender was."Sage, I'm at Above & Beyond. I ordered your favorite cocktail. I miss our nights out drinking together." Sure enough, it was Delilah. Sage assumed she would stop bothering her after their last gathering. Yet, here she was, reaching out to her again. There was no way she actually cared about their friendship.Above & Beyond was one of the most luxurious bars in Haldon. Delilah often held parties there to pretend that she was rolling in it. However, Sage was always the one who had to foot the bill. Could it be that she had one too many drinks and suddenly remembered her "ATM"? "Sage, you said you'd never be mad at me. You also said you'd give me a chance even if you were. Why did you go back on your word?" She did say that. Back then, she truly regarded Delilah as her best friend. She was naive to think that their friendship

"Sage Joyner, did you just call me stupid?" Ian couldn't help but lose his temper because of her constant nitpicking."Are you sure you're not stupid? After all, you can't even handle such a simple task," Sage said.It seemed like the old her had thought of Ian as overly perfect and capable. If she had discovered his clumsiness earlier, she might not have liked him as much.He snatched the rolling pin back from her when he noticed her shaking her head and sighing again. He ordered, "Stay out of it! I'll do it!"Sage rolled her eyes. Ian was still as competitive as ever. Ian was the kind of person who couldn't handle minor setbacks."Fine. I'll be waiting for your results then." Sage removed her apron. "Do you need me to tie it for you too?"Ian looked at him coldly to express his disdain. However, Sage didn't push it. Instead, she told him that since Wanda wasn't home, if he soiled his clothes he'd have to wash them himself. Then, she folded her hands, leaned back, and watched as

Sage wondered why Linda was in such a good mood despite the savory news. After hanging up the phone, she looked at the messy kitchen and immediately arranged for a cleaner to come and take care of it. It was such a shame that Wanda was off today.A woman who treated herself as a housekeeper as well would only end up with endless chores. Sage couldn't be bothered to be a virtuous wife who did all the work herself. She would rather take a nice bath and wash away the stench of that filthy man.…Meanwhile, Ian received a video call from his grandmother while he was in the study."Ian, what happened to your lips? It looks like it's bleeding," Linda asked, concerned.Ian wiped away the blood and replied perfunctorily, "It's nothing. I just accidentally bit it."However, Linda smiled knowingly when she heard that. "Sage bit you, didn't she?"Ian narrowed his eyes when he thought of what had happened earlier. Sage had bitten both his lips and his tongue. He had just checked. She had

He frowned when he heard that. Ivy was usually graceful and composed. Why was she so emotional today?"How should I know?" Ian retorted.Ivy was green with jealousy when she noticed his indifference and the wound on his lip. However, she simply started weeping."Ian, do you remember when my mother was seriously ill? I was a wreck, and I practically begged for someone to develop a drug to cure her illness. At the time, you consoled me and said if there were such a miracle drug, you'd definitely buy it for me." Her eyes dimmed. "Even though the drug developed by Professor Braun isn't the cure to my mother's illness, I still want to bring it to the market to fill the void in my heart."It dawned on Ian that Ivy's insistence on getting this project stemmed from her mother. Even though he couldn't remember much about what had happened when they were young, he did recall Ivy grieving for a long time after her mother passed away."Ian, Sage doesn't necessarily need this project. You co

Sage couldn't help but remind him, "Mr. Morrison, I'm the one who's divorcing Ian, not the other way around.""Aren't you giving up on him because he doesn't love you back?" Shane asked mercilessly. "Sure, you might see yourself as ' moving on', but let's face it. It's no different from being dumped by him."Sage was rendered speechless. …In the evening, Tiana, the busy bee, finally had some time to spare. "Sage, I heard about this awesome new bar. Let's go get a drink, and you can perform your special drum solo for me!"Tiana added before Sage could respond, "You promised me, so you can't go back on your word now!"Sage agreed reluctantly. "Sure thing. It's just a drum solo."The girls met up at the bar. The first floor was a large open hall with some seating scattered around, while the second floor had private booths. There was a massive stage in front of the entrance on the first floor. When they entered, someone was performing on it, adding an electric air to the atmospher
