A Farewell After Being Reborn novel Chapter 266

"Okay." Sage was relieved. Thank goodness she didn't make them worry. "Could you have someone bring me a change of clothes please? I'll take a quick shower before we head to the station to give our statements."

"Don't you have anything else to say about what happened last night?" Ian couldn't help but ask when he noticed how calm and collected she was after her initial embarrassment.

"What else am I supposed to say?" she asked. "Benjamin is behind bars, and Grandpa and Grandma are none the wiser. Isn't that good news?"

"So all this time you've been kicking up a fuss and insisting on divorce because I haven't consummated our marriage?" he asked lowly.

Sage sneered as she realized that was what he wanted to talk about. "You're reading too much into it. Last night was just an accident. I won't hold you accountable for taking advantage of me either. After all, you saved me, so I suppose we're even now.

"Let's go to the court tomorrow once Grandma's birthday celebration is over and get that divorce certificate."

"Haven't you had enough of this, Sage Joyner?" Ian roared. "Last night, you couldn't even stand the mere mention of divorce! Why are you acting like a completely different person after you've woken up?"

Sage scoffed. "Well, you're not wrong. You could think of me as a different person. But this is honestly so strange. Why are you upset when I'm the one who was taken advantage of?"

"Is that all this is to you?" he asked coldly.

"What else could it be?" she shot back.

Ian gritted his teeth. "Are you saying that no matter who it was last night, you'd still end up getting the short end of the stick?"

The bath towel she had wrapped around herself came undone, revealing her long, slender legs. His gaze was burning with desire as he stared at her legs.

"What are you looking at? Put me down!" she growled, clutching the towel.

His gaze was dark and unfathomable. "At this rate, it'll take you half an hour just to get to the bathroom."

As if he had the right to complain about her pace! He was the one who was to blame! Sage was aware that there was no point in arguing with him. Hence, she allowed him to carry her into the bathroom while blushing furiously.

"Can you manage on your own, or should I give you a hand?" Ian asked huskily as soon as her feet touched the ground in the bathroom.
