Chapter 57
When Sage heard Calvin’s words, she didn’t get angry and embarrassed like she used to.
Instead, she asked him earnestly, “You’re close to Ian, right? Can you persuade him?”
Calvin said arrogantly, “Of course, I’m close to Ian. But I will never persuade him to fall for you!”
“I mean, help me persuade him to sign the divorce agreement.”
“I will never–Huh?”
Calvin thought that Sage would keep begging him, but what did she just say?
“Divorce agreement? Are you saying that lan wants to divorce you?”
“No, I want to divorce him.” As Sage corrected Calvin, she stuffed the container into Calvin’s hands.
Then, as she took out the divorce agreement from her bag, she said, “No matter what tactics you use, as long as you can get him to sign this, I’ll be very grateful
to you.”
“You… I…” Calvin was so shocked that he could barely think.
He wished that someone could tell him what was going on.
Why was Sage the one who wanted to get a divorce now?
Why would she carry the divorce agreement with her everywhere?
Just then, Calvin suddenly caught a whiff of a familiar scent coming from Sage.
He shuddered.
The blanket in Ian’s office had the same scent.
It was faint, but Calvin was very sure that it was the same scent.
So, the blanket Ian told him to put away actually belonged to Sage?
Then, two days ago, Ian’s relationship troubles might very well be because of… Sage?
“I can’t take this!”
When Calvin saw Sage trying to stuff the divorce agreement into his arms, he dodged it as if it were a hot potato.
“I don’t know you that well, anyway. I can’t possibly help you!”
With that, Calvin shoved the container back to Sage and escaped.
Sage was speechless.
After putting the divorce agreement away, Sage continued walking toward the
hall.
As always, the receptionist greeted her warmly.
Without anyone leading the way, Sage got into the elevator and went upstairs
herself.
Perhaps because of a notice from the receptionist, Terry wasn’t surprised by Sage’s visit. He even told her that Ian was resting in the inner office.
Sage opened the door and walked in. Ian was asleep in the armchair.
He had leaned his head against the back of the couch, and his brows were slightly furrowed. His lips were a little dry, and his breaths were heavy as well. He looked
like he was ill.
Sage had never seen lan look so tired before.
Usually, when he worked, he would behave like a robot. He could work overtime for many consecutive days,
Out of basic decency, Sage didn’t wake him up. She even walked up to him and checked the temperature of his forehead.
Indeed, he was burning up a little.
Sage wanted to go out and tell Terry to buy some medicine, but she had just started moving when Ian took her hand.
When Sage turned around, she saw that Ian had already opened his eyes. There was an ambiguous look in his eyes.
“Were you pretending to sleep?” Sage shook off Ian’s hand and questioned him in dissatisfaction.
Ian adjusted his posture. He still didn’t look too good as he said, “Sage, if you’re upset about anything, just tell me. You can’t keep waving the divorce agreement around.”
By the looks of it, Calvin had told Ian about the incident just now.
Sage didn’t mind either way.
She said, “The thing I’m most upset about is your hesitation to sign the divorce agreement!”
“Is that so?” Ian looked at her calmly. “Weren’t you the most upset about the fact that you were the only one having wishful thoughts about our marriage?”
Sage was stunned.
As it turned out, her senses that night were right. Ian had really overheard what
she said to Tiana.
Sage admitted frankly, “I was upset about it, but now, I’ve gotten over it.”
“If you’ve truly gotten over it, why would you care about me while insisting on the divorce? You didn’t even dare to let the elders know the truth,” Ian said.
Sage laughed in her heart.
In the end, Ian still didn’t believe that she would file for divorce.
Perhaps everyone who knew her wouldn’t believe it.
This was the result of her obsession with love.
It would be too difficult for her uncle and aunt to agree to her divorce.
They were also currently managing the Joyners‘ company. For the sake of her grandfather, she couldn’t cause a ruckus.
