Military life could be boring sometimes. Those in the army would think of various ways to amuse themselves. Sometimes, they would sing military songs to make each other laugh. They kept coming up with strange tricks as entertainment.Some couples could not see each other for years, so Yoel came up with the idea of live streaming while showering. The bad trend soon gained popularity.Jace looked at Sage's eyes twinkle with interest and said, "If you like it, we can try it sometime."Sage fell silent. She was so embarrassed after being exposed. "Who said I wanted to try it with you! You're so shameless!"Then, she ran away with her head down.Jace could not help but laugh. Was Sage shy again?…Sawyer was eager to see the antique furniture, so he rushed to Nadeem City with Primrose early the next morning.Primrose was more interested in the old Luz family couple. Sawyer, Wayne, Mendoza, Simon, Jace, and Sage gathered around to study the antique furniture. Meanwhile, Primrose an
Sage's medical team rushed to St Francis Hospital in the afternoon. The hospital welcomed them with great pomp and made it look grander than the mayor's visit.Before the intern doctors went into the operation room, the dean kept reminding them to pay attention. "Dr. S has a big temper. Watch and don't talk. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, okay?"Everyone nodded obediently in nervousness and anticipation. As Jace listened to the dean's comments about Sage, he could not help but think of the two major surgeries she had performed on him before.She operated on him when he got into a car accident four years ago. She operated on him again a year ago. At that time, he had a blood clot in his head because he was hit in the back of the head with a rod.He was in critical conditions in both situations, and Sage was the one who performed the operation on him and brought him back from the brink of death.Jace sometimes wondered how lucky he was to meet such a nice girl like Sage. He w
The little kids Sage ranted about were the best medical doctors who graduated from various medical schools. How would they feel if they heard her?"It can't be helped. Everyone looks up to my dearest Sage, the great Dr. S. Those school kids who can't stop loving you are even talking about introducing nice people to you," Jace said.Sage stayed in his arms and looked at him with a confused look. She stared at him with dewy eyes and asked, "Huh?""I won't give them that chance." Jace lowered his head and kissed her. He pecked the corner of her lips and swore, "You're mine, and I'll fight anyone who tries to take you away from me!"Jace had such a serious and stern face. He looked as if he was going to fight someone. Sage was amused and relieved from the pressure and tension from the earlier surgery.Sage met his beautiful eyes and willingly inched closer to him. Hugging his neck, she pressed her lips firmly to his like an invitation to him. Her initiation was like a spark that s
Sage held a post-operative Q&A session for the intern doctors in the meeting room. Meanwhile, Jace did not go into the meeting room and waited outside. He could see Sage through the glass panel on the door. Sage was sitting on the stage calmly. She was the youngest in the room, but her maturity and strong aura were the same as the seniors.When she spoke, the intern doctors and even the dean listened to her carefully. The dean was also nodding in agreement from time to time.The way Sage talked reminded Jace of what Faye showed him before. Faye showed him some videos of Sage as an interpreter at an international conference. At that time, she carried the same confidence and spoke with power and charisma.Many people said Jace was too mature for his age before. Jace found Sage the same. She had multiple identities and mastered many skills. She was dazzling and charming to most people, but no one really knew how much effort it was to achieve professional heights like her.Jace only
Howl's eyes lit up. "When can I start?" Sage said, "Anytime." Howl seemed a little worried and hesitant. "Can I start a couple of days later? If I go to work, I may need to hire a caregiver for my father.""No hurry. You can make your arrangement before starting," Sage said and felt like she was the best employer in the world. She cared so much for her employee.Before leaving, Sage handed a bank card to Howl. "Here's a year's salary in advance. The password is six sixes. If you need anything, feel free to contact me."Howl was stunned and stared at the bank card in his hand in silence. How could he be so lucky?! It was way too astounding!"I… Can I ask a question? Why are you two so kind to me? I'm shocked and somewhat flattered."Howl had always been an ordinary person. He grew up ordinarily surrounded by ordinary people with a simple life like him. He never thought that he would meet someone like Jace and Sage. They helped him again and again."After all, there's no such t
Sage met Jace's dark gaze and was slightly stunned. She got off his thighs and sat up straight."Are you proposing to me?" Sage asked suddenly.The driver's hand shook a little at Sage's abrupt question.Jace was startled too. He quickly shook his head and waved his hand. He stammered, "No, no. I'm not."Sage frowned at his reply. When he saw her frown, he hurriedly inched closer to her and explained, "How can I be so hasty in proposing? I wanted to pay your family in Salem City a formal visit. I wanted to visit Rosa Garden and gain your family's approval. After that, I'll propose to you. Then, we'll get married. Let's take it one step at a time, shall we?"Sage just kept staring at him without saying anything.Jace noticed her silence and added, "I just want to make sure that I've got all the steps right. I want to make it formal and show you my sincerity. I didn't prepare well last time… I'm going to make it up for you this time."Sage remained silent and glared at him with de
Sage knew they were all experienced. Their dirty discussion crushed her, who was still a virgin! Jace explained, "I don't know what to give Aunt Primrose. I wanted to give her a set of jewelry, but she said she has plenty of those. Aunt Primrose asked if I had something different and unusual. I asked her what she had in mind, and she said something like an antique adult book. I happened to have a set in my collection, so I gave it to her."Sage's face was still red after listening to his explanation. "Why did you even collect this stuff?""It's a highly collectible antique from the Middle Ages. A great painter made it and drew the figures vividly. It's interesting. "Jace tilted his head and looked at her. "The poses are also quite…"Sage stopped him before he could finish his sentence. She covered his mouth and warned, "Okay, stop there! That's enough!" Jace took her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. Then, he held her hand and interlocked their fingers.He reassured her soft
Jace needed the equipment to play tennis.Luther stared at Jace's boring suit and decided to give him his shirt. He took off his sweatshirt without a word and gave it to Jace. Before Jace could take it, Sage threw it back into Luther's arms with a disgusted look on her face. "Why would he wear your stinky clothes?"While Luther was stunned and confused, Sage took Jace upstairs and grabbed all the good stuff from her brothers' room. Jace's figure was closer to Tim's, so Sage chose a white sweatshirt for Jace from Tim's wardrobe.After that, Sage went to Kane's room and took a pair of limited edition blue sneakers from his collection. It was a limited edition for collectors, and he had never worn it before. Sage wanted Jace to be the most handsome on the tennis court.Kane was watching the game. At halftime, he laughed at Nigel for almost falling to save a ball earlier. When he turned around and saw the three people walking to the court, he saw Jace wearing the sneakers he considered
Sage heard of the saying, 'Marriage is for happiness, and so does divorce.'Based on Wikipedia, the definition of marriage was, 'Marriage is a long-term contractual relationship between a man and a woman based on equal consent.'Someone once said, 'Marriage is like a siege. Those outside wanted to break in, while people inside wanted to break out of the siege.'Sage and Jace had been through marriage once. In their first marriage, they were both losers. This time, they were both determined to win. They wanted to live their lives well. Even if their passion were to fade in the future, they would never leave each other. There were eight couples in line ahead of them. Sage and Jace were the ninth.Jace was eager for their turn. He counted carefully and then said with a smile, "It's nine again. It's a good day for this number."Jace suddenly came up with a good idea, "Let's have a daughter and call her Little Nine, okay?"'Did he just come up with that? How brave,' Sage thought and
The ninth of September arrived quickly.Sage was worried that Jace would not be able to get up on time, but Sage turned out to be the one who overslept. Sage had not slept all night because of a certain someone. She was so sleepy, while Jace was full of energy.Jace carried Sage to the bathroom to wash up and brush her teeth. "Open your mouth. Ah…"Sage squinted as she saw the terrible dark circles under her eyes. She turned around in anger and bumped Jace's head.Jace was caught off guard and felt dizzy from the impact. He rubbed his head. "Dear, aren't you hurting yourself by doing this…""Look at my dark circles. They're so ugly. How am I supposed to take pictures? Sage complained in anger.Jace squinted and rubbed his eyes. "Let me see. What's ugly?"He held Sage's face and observed it. "What's ugly? It's not ugly. My wife is the prettiest in the world!"Jace did not care about the toothpaste foam all over Sage's mouth and kissed her anyway.Primrose opened the door and
Jace made Sage stay up all night. Sage was so sleepy that her eyes were closing."Sleep. I'll wake you up later."Jace leaned down and kissed her forehead. As he closed his eyes, he remembered something and sat up sharply."By the way, we have to wear white shirts for tomorrow's photo session. We haven't prepared the shirt…"Jace rolled over and jumped off the bed right after saying that. Sage could not stop him in time, so she turned on the lamp helplessly. She leaned over the bed and waited for Jace in silence.Shortly after, Jace came back with two shirts. His eyes were shining. "Dear, you've prepared for us?""Yeah." Sage nodded weakly. "I've got them ready. I've had Zamora iron them for me."Jace could finally put his mind at ease. "What about the documents and identifications…"Sage pulled open the drawer of the bedside table and took out the papers and documents she had prepared ahead. "It's all here."Sage looked at Jace. "Everything is ready. You've checked three time
Sage spread out the notebook and looked at the blurred handwriting. She slowly read it out loud, "Step one, conquer her with sweet talking. Use sweeter and flirtatious words that would make people blush. Forget about modesty and shame in bed. It's best to whisper them into her ears…"Sage read the notes with a straight face, making Jace so embarrassed that he could hardly keep his feet on the ground.Jace strode forward with a stiff face and tried to snatch the notebook away. Sage was quick to dodge and continued reading with her head down."Step two, be aggressive at your offense. Focus and remember this, being rough yet gentle. You can use props such as blindfolds, ties, handcuffs, and so on…"Sage's face turned red while reading it. As the images popped into her mind, she had to stop reading.Jace was about to go crazy. He buried his face in his hands, unable to look up at Sage."Where did you learn all these?" Sage threw the notebook at Jace. "Rough yet gentle? Are you seriou
'Electric drill? Seriously?!' Jace thought and got a headache.Seeing that Sage was about to open her mouth again, he panicked and kissed her directly to shut her up.Dean was stunned by Jace's quick action. When he saw the couple kissing in the light, he suddenly raised his hand and hit his head.'I must be on the set… Who else would be so shameless as to kiss in public like that?' Dean thought.Sage finally calmed down after a long kiss. Jace breathed a sigh of relief and picked her up. He told Logan, "I'll leave the other guy to you!""Oh," Logan responded. Then he picked Dean up like a kid and walked out the door.Jace was tired and sweaty by the time he arrived at the hotel. Sage was already soundly asleep. Jace put her to bed and took off her shoes, socks, pants, and clothes. He stripped her clean.Sage drank a lot and was reeking of alcohol. Jace did not want to wake her up, so he did not carry her to the bathroom and bathe her. Instead, he wet the towel with hot water to
In the words of the commentators, the basketball game was very smooth. The national team played well! At last, the national team defeated the opponent team by a score of 106-73.The crowd was thrilled that the national team had won the game. The internet was buzzing with excitement too. There were several hot searches about the national team's victory. The topic #RisingStarJim made the headlines too.Sage had lost her usual composure. She was following the fans and shouting wildly, cheering for the victory.Perhaps this was the power of sports. It made the audience exhilarated and trembling with excitement. Jace looked calm on the outside, but he was actually quite excited on the inside.Sage was cheering in excitement. She jumped up and down like a child while hugging Jace. Jace followed and laughed with her too.They were planning to leave after the game, but Sage was really happy and stayed for the team's celebration party. Sage even asked Jim for his teammates' shoe sizes and
"Is that so?" A trace of interest flashed in Jace's eyes.Sage did not understand, so she asked, "What does a small forward do?"Jace explained, "The small forwards are typically the tallest and most athletic of all players. They are responsible for scoring points and defending. The main goal of strong shooters is to score and create opportunities for teammates. In other cases, they would operate as off-ball specialists. They would wait for teammates to pass the ball, catch the ball, and shoot to score."Seeing Sage's confused look, Jace added, "James and Durant, for example, are playing as small forwards.""Oh!" Sage immediately understood after hearing the name of these famous basketball stars. Her eyes lit up. "Isn't that amazing?"Jace saw the sparkle in her eyes and found her really adorable. He said, smiling, "It is. Basketball is all about teamwork. Small forward is probably the most versatile of the five main basketball positions and carries multiple functions in the game.
The next morning, Sage, Jace, and Dean went to the basketball arena for the World Championships after breakfast.It was the men's basketball world championship, where their country's basketball team was up against another country. By the time they got to the arena, many people were in the audience.The staff guided Sage and the group to their designated seat in the family section.As soon as Dean sat down, someone next to him called out his name. Dean seemed unsurprised by this. He even smiled and waved at them. After that, he gestured for them to be polite and silent. It was not Dean's first time watching his younger brother's basketball game live. Many of his fans knew that Dean's younger brother was playing on the national team. They especially came over to get closer to him. Some were Jim's fans too. They knew Dean was Jim's brother, so they would greet him.After listening to Dean's explanation, Sage's businessman side as the owner of Norah Entertainment appeared again."If
Jace muffled his laughs and relaxed in the night light. He said, "I have to work harder, or someone will call me old.""Hey." Sage knew he would get back at her.She rolled over and lay on top of Jace. She played with his chest and said in a muffled voice, "I have a new nickname for you."Jace responded, "Hm?"Sage looked up at him. "Vengeance."Jace was stunned and soon broke into a peal of laughter. Sage leaned on him and felt the rise and fall of his breathing. As his chest resonated with his laughter, Sage followed along with his laughter. Both of them were laughing like fools. Sage and Jace lay flat on the bed after laughing nonstop. They opened up and improved their intimacy so much. As a result, their whole body and mind were very relaxed tonight. "Hey..." The two spoke in unison, exchanged a glance, and smiled again.Sage said, "Go ahead."Jace looked at Sage and muttered, "I'll say something, but don't get mad at it.""Just say it." Sage looked at him.Jace though
