A Farewell After Being Reborn novel Chapter 274

"No matter what I do, you are always the one in the right. Ian Holcomb, don't you think that is worse than suggesting divorce yourself?"

Ian's dark gaze landed on Sage. "I told you I'd attempt to meet your demands in the future. Besides, you clearly have feelings for me. We're not at the point of no return."

"I'll admit that the feelings I've developed for you over the years won't just disappear overnight, but those feelings aren't enough to keep me going," she said.

"I'm exhausted, Ian. I genuinely don't want to be a part of your life anymore. If you have even an ounce of guilt or feelings for me, please sign the divorce agreement as soon as possible."

Ian gazed at her for a moment when he heard that. He then tossed the tube of ointment that was in his pocket at her before walking away.

"What were you and Ian talking about? Did you guys fight?" Layla walked over while Sage stood in a daze.

"What brings you here?" Sage twisted open the ointment.

Layla took a seat beside her and grumbled, "My mother dragged me along to see if there are any eligible bachelors today." Susan would never miss an opportunity to find a rich husband for her daughter.

"What do you want?' Sage asked as she applied the ointment to her wrist. Their relationship wasn't at the point where they would just chat idly.

"What happened to your hand?" Layla asked.

"It's none of your business. Just get to the point."

Layla pouted. "Last time, Ian said he had friends in Padova City. I was wondering if he could give me their contact information."

"Why didn't you ask him yourself?"

"Has Henry been bothering you lately?" Sage asked.

Layla scoffed. "Don't you have his contact information? Why don't you ask him yourself?"

Sage cautioned, "If you want me to help you, you better behave yourself. I don't owe you anything."

Layla held back and told her that Henry still checked in on her every day, but he hadn't shown up in person in a while. Sage figured he was probably tied up with a project.

"By the way, you mentioned that Uncle Owen and Aunt Susan have been in a good mood lately. What's going on?" Sage asked as she recalled.

Layla explained that someone had introduced them to a major spice order. Maven Corporation's revenue for the year would double after completing this order.
