Chapter 163
” Mrs. Holcomb is stunning! That’s strange… I can’t believe I hadn’t noticed how beautiful she was before,” Calvin mumbled. “I mean… it’s not that she wasn’t attractive before. It’s just that she didn’t have this kind of confidence and personality.”
Ian remained silent. In the video, Sage had on a bright smile and looked like she was enjoying herself. It was a side of her he had never seen before.
The way she twirled her drumsticks was especially captivating. It was as if she had shed all of her inhibitions. Her soul seemed to radiate an unbridled sense of freedom.
“Holy shit, Ian, check out these comments!”
Calvin excitedly read out one of them. “The person who filmed this must have a crush on her. Most people would focus on the surroundings, the technique, and the drummer’s skill. But the person who filmed this only filmed the drummer’s smile and the twinkle in her eyes. It’s hard to believe otherwise.”
After he finished, he continued scrolling excitedly. “Look! There are others who agree with this person!”
“Damn, you’re so observant! I was wondering why I couldn’t stop myself from smiling. It’s because this video is full of love!!
“Ian-” Calvin was about to read the other comments to Ian, but Ian snatched his phone away
and turned the video off.
“Ignore them! You can’t possibly believe all the nonsense that these netizens spout!” Undeterred, Calvin wanted to see what everyone else’s comments were.
However, Ian hit him where it hurt. Just because your proposal was approved doesn’t mean it’s all smooth sailing from here on out
Calvin was rendered speechless. “Oh come on, Ian,” he groaned. “No wonder Mrs. Holcomb’s been glowing ever since she decided to divorce you. You’re too much of an ice block.”
Ian’s expression darkened as he pressed the intercom. “Send two security guards over here and escort Mr. Luther out.”
Calvin hastily apologized. “I was wrong! I shouldn’t have said that! Please give me another chance, Ian.” Ian didn’t budge, nor did he rescind his order.
Calvin leaned over and said earnestly, “I know what I said wasn’t nice, Ian, but don’t you sense the urgency? Don’t you want to patch things up with Mrs. Holcomb?”
Ian stiffened and leaned over to cancel his orders.
7/2
Calvin wasn’t the least bit surprised. It was clear as day that Sage was no longer interested in lan. Ian, on the other hand, clearly wanted to patch things up with Sage, even though he was too proud to admit it.
The biggest issue was that Ian didn’t know what he wanted. Hence, as his best friend and the person who understood him the most, Calvin felt like it was his duty to help Ian.
“Ian, do you know who filmed this video?” he couldn’t help but ask.
Ian kicked his chair and snapped, “Get to the point or get the hell out of here!”
Calvin guessed that he did and that he didn’t like the person who had done it. Calvin scooted over. “Be honest with me, lan. Do you have feelings for her?”
Ian’s eyes darkened, and he leaned over the table again.
“Wait! This is a serious question!” Calvin blurted out. “You need to figure out how you feel about her first.”
Ian reluctantly set his foot down and said impatiently, “Marriage and divorce are both a hassle. I have enough going on. I don’t need more things on my plate.”
“I’m asking about your feelings,” Calvin repeated. “Think about it. How do you feel about her?
П
lan frowned. “Marriage is a practical arrangement. It’s not a matter of love.”
Calvin was rendered speechless. “Let me rephrase that. Would you be willing to let her go if you got divorced? Have you ever considered marrying someone else?”
