A Farewell After Being Reborn -
Chapter 283
"Let's go," Shane said.
Sage hastily turned him down. "It's alright. There's so much good food here. It would be a waste not toeat it. You go ahead. I'm still hungry."
He didn't insist after he heard that. He got up and left. Sage felt relieved as she watched him walkaway. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to eat in peace because she would have to constantlyworry about him setting her up.
No wonder Shane chose this place. The food was delicious and authentic. Moreover, the restaurantwas clean and hygienic. Sage savored each bite and ate until she was full and satisfied. She thenheaded downstairs to hail a cab after settling the bill.
When she passed the private dining rooms, she noticed one with its half-ajar door. She saw Henryinside entertaining a group of friends. The small room held a dozen people, all of whom wereconstantly toasting and showering Henry with compliments. Henry had his arm around a woman as heaccepted everyone's toast. Sage pulled out her phone and secretly took a picture of the scene. Shecould send this to Layla in case her judgment got clouded.
Initially, she wanted to book an Uber when she reached the first floor, but she noticed a man walkingtoward her. "Mrs. Holcomb, please get in the car. I'll take you home."
When she heard that, she realized it was Ralph, the driver-cum-bodyguard lan had arranged for her.However, she hadn't informed him of her whereabouts. So, how did Ralph know she was here?
"Mr. Holcomb sent me to pick you up," Ralph answered respectfully, as if reading her mind. Sage wassurprised that lan knew where she was and even sent Ralph to pick her up.
All of a sudden, she thought of Shane, who had left in haste. Could that also have been lan's doing? Itseemed unlikely, so Sage dismissed the thought.
Sage had no reason to send Ralph away since he was already here, so she got in the car. It wasalmost 10:00 p.m. when she arrived at Solaris Estate.
Wanda poured her a glass of water
and said, "Mrs. Holcomb, I've
prepared the guest room next door
for your driver. Mr. Holcomb thought
it would be more convenient for him
to stay in the house, in case you
need to go out or use the car."
Sage didn't comment on it. Instead, she said, "I'll leave it for you guys to figure it out." Then, she wentupstairs.
Sage walked into her bedroom, took
out her suitcase, and packed some
essentials and a few outfits. She had kept her promise to Linda, so even if she didn't get divorced thatday, she
didn't feel obligated to stay in Solaris
Estate anymore. Sage decided to
move out and replace a new place
starting tomorrow.
The next day, Sage woke up, freshened up, and went downstairs where Wanda had prepared breakfastas usual.
"Mrs. Holcomb, Ralph has gone out to familiarize himself with the surroundings. Are you planning to goout today? I can call him back to get ready."
Wanda went to answer it. After asking who they were, she said, "Mrs. Holcomb, there are two peopleoutside who said you called them here."
Wanda let the men, who were
dressed in a moving company's
uniforms, in. "Mrs. Holcomb, are you
planning on changing the furniture
again? Why did you call the
movers?" she asked, puzzled. Sage
had changed the furniture in the
past to make the house cozier.
