A Farewell After Being Reborn novel Chapter 152

"Where are you going?" Ian demanded.

Sage chuckled and explained, "I'm giving up my seat to Layla. Didn't you hear her earlier?"

He commanded, "Sit down." His eyes flashed with a subtle annoyance. It seemed that he wasn't interested in Layla at all.

However, Sage wasn't going to shield him. She was about to leave her seat when Susan intervened, "Layla, what are you doing? You're an adult. It's time to stop clinging to Sage and Ian. Come have a seat beside me. I ordered your favorite seafood."

Susan and Owen had silently observed the interaction among the three. They picked up on Ian's frustration and did not want to risk humiliating Layla. Susan then added, "Who said Ian and Sage are getting a divorce? They're doing well."

"Ian, just ignore Layla's nonsense. She has liked squabbling with Sage from a young age," Owen chimed in with a smile.

Ian said nothing in response. When he noticed Sage standing, he reached out to pull her back into her seat.

Since it wasn't the right time and place to have a fallout with him, she reluctantly returned to her seat. Besides, she had other plans for that night.

After eating, Layla still wasn't over the confrontation. She turned to Sage and said, "You mentioned some earrings on the second-hand website. You must have listed them right?"

Sage looked like a wealthy woman, and she drove luxury cars and carried bags worth millions. She used a black card when making purchases. It didn't make sense for her to be selling off her jewelry.

Layla hoped that Ian would start to detest Sage if he learned about her shameful actions.

To Layla's surprise, Sage didn't look embarrassed by her statement at all. She even nodded openly. Sneering, she replied, "Yes, that was me. You're not dumb after all I guess. At least you noticed it."

"I threw them out," Sage confessed honestly. "I consider what's not mine as trash. But I changed my mind later, thinking that I could probably get some use out of them. I'm surprised that you regard my trash as your treasure."

Sage's words only fueled Layla's rage. She had tried to irk Sage, but it ended up backfiring on her.

She fumed and hissed, "Why would you throw away such an expensive pair of earrings for no good reason? I know Ian is rich, but you shouldn't have done that!" Layla started stirring trouble again.

"The earrings were hers. She could do anything she wanted with it," Ian casually defended Sage. "I won't stop her."

Layla blushed in embarrassment as she did not expect Ian to speak up for Sage.

Meanwhile, Sage cast an astonished glance at Ian. Ian clearly knew which earrings Layla was referring to. Sage wondered why Ian was defending her when he should have been angry.
