NovelEnglishlan couldn't figure out why Sage was so cold to him. It was obvious she had feelings for him, but she refused to let go of her grudges for sreason.
“lan, is Mrs. Holcomb still planning to divorce you?" Calvin asked cautiously since he didn't get an answer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe happened to overhear Sage saying that she didn't want to delay the divorce for even a single day before he knocked on the door. He was a little surprised that although Sage would disregard her safety for lan, she was unwilling to give him a chance to make things right.
lan's face turned grim when he heard Calvin's question. “It's not like | can't live without her. If she insists on getting a divorce, | won't force her to stay.” “Is that so?" Calvin cocked his brow. “Con, lan. Let's be real. Mrs. Holcomb is drop-dead gorgeous and has a great personality. Plus, she plays those drums like nobody's business.
“It's understandable for you to be reluctant to let her go. | told you to take her out for sfresh air the other day. Have you made any plans yet?" lan felt even more frustrated when he heard that. "My company's going to Greenfield for the team-building event the day after tomorrow. But she said she wants to hang out with her best friend and doesn't want to go." Calvin thought that sounded like an excuse. “lan, you should find a way to invite Mrs. Holcomb's friend then.
Couples need to spend more ttogether to strengthen their relationship.” lan glanced at him coldly. "Did you think | wouldn't hold you accountable for your actions just because you're saying all these things? How could you not help Sage when she got into trouble at the bar? You were at the fucking bar!" This was indeed his fault. He kept lan on tenterhooks by not telling him the address, and he didn't notice when Sage was being harassed. Knowing this, Calvin admitted his mistake.
"| just wanted to mess with you. | didn't expect you to be resourceful enough to find the bar yourself. You even B managed to beat up the hooligans for Mrs. Holcomb! But lan, how'd you figure out where we were?" lan cast him a scornful look. "You tagged the location in your stories.” Calvin smacked his forehead. He had posted a moment shortly after he arrived, but he had completely forgotten about it.
"Man, lan, you're so sharp. You notice every single detail.” Calvin began trying to butter up to lan. "Mrs. Holcomb will definitely see your strengths all over again once she spends more twith you!" "So... you're saying | don't have a single good quality left in her eyes?" lan asked lowly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“N-no, of course not,” Calvin hurriedly said. "You're so outstanding, lan. There's no way Mrs. Holcomb doesn't know that. But she's dealing with sstuff right now. Once you help her resolve them, she won't be mad at you anymore! “You should hurry up and get your waist checked, lan. Mrs. Holcomg is still waiting for you in her ward after all.” Meanwhile, Sage unlocked her phone. It was already dawn. Four or five hours had passed since she fainted.
Tiana sent her a message on Whatmentioning that the men who had bullied them at the bar had all been sent to the police station by lan's men.
Tiana also assured her that although her shoulder was bruised, there was no muscle or bone damage. She then told her to apply sointment to the bruise and that it would be fine in a few days. Moreover, she mentioned that she would cto the hospital in the morning and told Sage not to wander around.
Sage responded to Tiana's message and settled back onto the hospital bed. Fortunately, her shoulder wasn't seriously injured, or she would've regretted saving lan.
However, she still regretted it at that moment. Her actions had only deepened lan's misunderstanding of her. He even said that he wanted to forget about the divorce.
Forget it. lan had protected her a few times in the past, and he almost got hurt last night while trying to help her.
