A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 21

Ian had even gotten the idea that Sage was demanding a divorce because she was throwing a tantrum over what had happened that day.

Even if it was unnecessary, she still couldn’t help asking, “Since you knew that was the fifth anniversary of our first meeting, you must’ve known how important it was to me. Why did you still leave with Ivy?”
