Chapter 139 Sage’s cheeks were slightly red. She glared at lan and sat down, saying, “I'll just comply then.” “Mr. Holcomb, your wife is so lovely. You shouldn't make her angry. You must apologize properly when you go back later,” said Colin.

lan, as if he were truly a man who had angered his wife, readily agreed, “Okay.” Just as they were talking, the restaurant manager knocked on the door and handed a bottle of ointment to lan before apologizing on behalf of the waiter for what happened earlier. Only then did the people in the room notice the redness.

“Mr. Holcomb, why didn’t you speak up earlier? This burn could be serious,” someone said.

Remaining calm, lan replied, “My wife helpedto rinse it with cold water earlier. I'm fine.” Terry couldn't help but snicker inwardly seeing how lan seemed to be calling Sage his wife more and more naturally now.

Then, he began to recall a previous dinner appointment at a seafood restaurant not too long ago. lan had refused to go and instead had asked him to go as a representative. But just as he was about to arrive, lan called to say that he wanted to go along too.

Terry couldn't understand lan’s indecisiveness over such an insignificant occasion. It wasn’t until he saw Sage in front of the restaurant that he understood his true intentions.

Seeing the ointment in lan’s hand, Terry quickly suggested, “Mrs. Holcomb, why don’t you help Mr. Holcomb B apply the ointment? It'll be inconvenient for him to apply it using his left hand.” “Yes, it's important to apply the ointment promptly. Otherwise, it might ulcerate, “Colin chimed in.

When Sage was done applying the medicine, lan’s heart fell slightly.

“Ill go wash my hands,” she said to everyone before heading to the washroom.

Standing in front of the mirror in the toilet, Sage thought about the urgency in lan’s tone when he pulled her into his arms and how natural he seemed when he introduced her with his arm around her waist.

There was a hint of inexplicable bitterness in her heart. There was a twhen she had longed for him to care for her and to publicly acknowledge her identity. But he always avoided her and treated her with disgust. Now, however, she had everything she always wanted. She found the situation rather ironic..

After washing her face with scold water, she put on a firm expression. Regardless of how she felt now, she could no longer hold any expectations for lan. She had tasted the bitterness of love once, and that was enough for her. When the dinner ended, Terry escorted Colin and the rest back. Meanwhile, Sage and lan walked to the courtyard to wait for the driver to bring the car over.

It was a fairly breezy night, and she subconsciously rubbed her arms to warm herself up. As she did so, a coat was draped over her shoulders.

The coat was warm and smelled faintly of pine. She lifted her head and saw a hint of displeasure in his dark eyes. “Why didn’t you wear something warmer when you know it's going to be cold?” Just as the driver arrived, Sage tossed the coat back to him and said, “I don’t need your fake kindness!” With that, she got into the front passenger seat. Holding the coat that had been. thrown back to him, lan glanced at the woman's cold and distant face.

Eventually, he got in the back and asked, “Why were you with Shane today?” SURPERISE GIFT: 3000 bonus free for you,activity tis limited! +15 BONUS
