FreeNovelChapter 181 lan, who had been busy in the study, walked in after she showered and finished her skincare routine. Sage didn’t want to talk to him, so she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
The sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom. Shortly after, it stopped and lan got into the bed.
Sage lay perfectly still, attempting to make herself invisible. But the next thing she knew, the covers were being pulled off her. Before she could react, lan got on top of her.

His arms were propped up on either side of Sage, and his ink-black eyes were unreadable.” Didn't you resentfor not fulfilling my duties as a husband? I'm making it up to you now.
“lan Holcomb, are you out of your mind?” Sage pushed him, but he wouldn't budge.
All of a sudden, she remembered the self-defense techniques Michael had taught her. When lan showed no signs of backing away and looked like he was going to force himself on her, Sage raised her knee and drove it into the middle of his thighs.
Caught off guard, lan hissed and doubled over in pain. Sage seized the opportunity and pushed him away again.
This time, she had no trouble doing so.
Sage, who had initially felt victorious, felt a twinge of embarrassment when she observed his tightly knitted brows, pale complexion, and the part of his body his hand was clutching. It seemed like she had unintentionally hit something she shouldn't have.
Truth be told, she hadn't meant to. In her desperation, she had raised her knee without much thought. Little did she know that... this would happen.

His eyes burned with anger. “Are you out of your mind? How could you be so ruthless?” He wasn’t actually going to force himself on her. He just wanted her to tone down her attitude and ask him to forgive her. There was no need to resort to such drastic measures! Her sense of guilt vanished in an instant. “It was your fault for being so arrogant and presumptuous! Is that what you think I meant? I'll kick you in the balls if you dare to have such thoughts again!” o 1/2 It was his fault for feigning ignorance when he understood what she meant perfectly. Sage had let him off the hook easily.
lan gritted his teeth and snarled, “If something happens to me, Sage, you can forget about divorcingin this lifetime! You will be a virgin for the rest of your life, and we'll just have to drag this out.” Sage was at a loss for words because that sounded like something lan was capable of doing. She didn’t care if she had to live as a virgin for the rest of her life. After all, in her previous life, lan hadn't slept with her until she died. 1 However, she didn’t want to be tied to lan in this life. Hence, she walked over to him and asked with concern, “Are you in a lot of pain? Should | call an ambulance for you?” “Get out of the way!” lan was sweating profusely from the pain. He didn’t want Sage to see him like this, so he forced himself to get up from the bed and storm out of the room.
Sage watched as he hobbled away with his back slightly hunched back. She suppressed her laughter until he slammed the door shut. It felt so good to see the arrogant man in such a sorry state! Sage lay down on the bed and sent Michael a message. “The self-defense techniques you taughtseriously cin handy. Remember to sendsmore practice videos when you're free.” Michael soon responded to her message, asking why she wasn’t asleep yet. Sage then asked him how he was doing in the competition.
In the middle of their conversation, a new message popped up on the screen. “Sage, | miss you. Do you want to go out for drinks?”
