Chapter 223
Sage looked over in the direction Tiana pointed and spotted Ian’s figure. He looked tall and handsome in his casual shirt next to the cool and refined Wilson. Both of them looked like characters straight out of a comic book–breathtakingly beautiful and pleasing to the
“My husband is so handsome.” Tiana sighed.
Sage nudged her. “You’re drooling.”
“Oh, come on! As if you’re any better than me when you look at Ian.”
eye.
Sage rolled her eyes at Tiana. Their conversation caught the attention of the men up ahead, causing them to turn their heads.
“Darling, do you know Mr. Holcomb?” Tiana walked up to Wilson and linked her arm with
his.
Wilson responded calmly, “We’ve met a couple of times before.”
Wilson was highly regarded in his field. Many would take the initiative to get to know him. In addition, he often attended formal award ceremonies held by the government as a distinguished representative of the hospital, so it wasn’t surprising that he would be acquainted with a successful entrepreneur like Ian.
Tiana introduced Sage, “Even though you’ve seen her before, allow me to formally introduce you. This is my friend, Sage. She’s Mr. Holcomb’s wife.”
Wilson nodded at Sage, and she responded with a smile. It was just like Tiana had said Wilson seemed reserved and unapproachable. It made her wonder how the bubbly and lively Tiana could put up with him.
Even though Ian was aloof, his upbringing had instilled in him a sense of gentleness that shone through his interactions with others. However, this gentleness was also accompanied by a sense of distance that made people feel like they couldn’t quite reach him.
“Please don’t let us keep you waiting, Wilson.” Ian wrapped his arm around Sage. Sage went along with it.
Wilson nodded. “We’ll be off then.”
Tiana didn’t beat around the bush either. “Could you please take Sage for a stroll, Mr. Holcomb? She ate too much and was feeling uncomfortable.”

Sage was a little embarrassed to be called out in public. She glared at Tiana. “You ate more than I did.”
Tiana smiled mischievously. “So what? I can exercise with
my husband.”
Sage was rendered speechless because she understood what Tiana meant by “exercise“. However, she wasn’t as thick–skinned as Tiana.
Her cheeks turned red as she huffed and walked toward the shaded path. Her reaction made Tiana burst into laughter.
Ian followed after Sage. Tiana kept her arm linked through Wilson’s and asked, “Darling, how did you run into Mr. Holcomb?”
Wilson responded, “After I parked the car, I ran into him while he was on the phone outside.
“What did you guys talk about?”
“Nothing much.”
Wilson noticed her keen interest and added, “He also mentioned that my suit looked good and asked if you bought it for me recently.”
“Why did he ask you that out of the blue?” Tiana found that odd. “I haven’t bought you a suit recently.”
He shook his head. “I have no idea. I told him that it was from last year’s collection. I rarely wear suits, and you usually choose casual and comfortable clothes for me.”
She pondered for a moment. “Maybe Ian wants Sage to buy him clothes. Sage has been asking for a divorce lately, so she hasn’t bought him anything in a while now.”
Even though the news of their divorce was surprising, Wilson had never been one for gossip. He couldn’t be bothered to waste his time on something that didn’t concern him.
Tiana understood him well and suggested, “Darling, there’s an indoor hot spring here. Why don’t we soak in it and relax?”
“Sure.”
The scenery of the resort was truly breathtaking. It was situated on a mountain beside a waterfall, and the garden outside was also very well–kept.
