Finn's face was red from coughing. He still looked surprised when Sage walked in."Sage, what are you doing here?!""I came to visit you." Sage came to visit Finn with a fruit basket and bouquet.After Sage placed the basket on the table, the girl beside Finn reached out to take the flowers. "Give me the flowers."The girl looked beautiful and gentle, but her eyes looked empty and cold. Sage observed her impassively and handed her the bouquet."Thanks." The girl took the flowers and placed them on the side table. Then, she looked at Sage and said nicely, "You must be Miss Sage, right? I've heard a lot about you from Finn. I'm Finn's girlfriend, Sheila Stone." Sage guessed who she was and was not surprised to hear that. "Hello, I'm Sage."She shook Sheila's hand. When she wanted to withdraw her hand, Sheila held it. Sage looked up slightly to meet Sheila's sharp and cold eyes. Sheila's grip on Sage's hand gradually tightened. Sage did not move and felt Sheila's strong grip.
Sasha followed behind Sage as they left the ward. She said unhappily, "When did Mister Janssen get a girlfriend? I had never heard him talk about her. She is a bit weird, but she is quite pretty though. The way she speaks is just too weird. So baffling.""Yes, I have the same feeling," Sage said. Although it was quite uncomfortable, she did care about it too much. Maybe the girl thought Sage was her love enemy, and that was why she was so hostile.Sage felt sleepy and yawned. "Finn finally got himself a girlfriend. Just let them be."After she got in the car, her eyes felt heavy. She sat down and immediately fell asleep. She had no idea that the car had stopped and someone had placed a thin blanket on her.When the car stopped, she was carried away while being wrapped in a blanket. That shocked her and woke her up. "Who…"The first thing she saw was Jace's deep and dark eyes. She was stunned and trailed off. She wondered if she was dreaming.Jace crackled uncontrollably when he s
When Jace and Sage were in the room, Jace finally put Sage down and switched on the light. The room looked plain, like all the other suites. The room was filled with the ambiance of a bachelor.Just as she was about to comment on a thing or two, she saw Jace's lustful look when she turned around. She swallowed all the words she had back into her stomach.There was no need for words between them. Both of them took a step forward together and kissed each other. She heard people talk about long-distance relationships or living in two different cities. It was until now she experienced exactly how it felt like having a long-distance relationship and how short partings made the reunion even sweeter.Both of them put effort into kissing and their breath interchangeably between each other. Maybe they were so affectionate that she accidentally knocked her teeth on his lips and tasted some blood.Finally, when they were apart, Sage pursed her lips, and her cheeks were blushing in rosy red. "
The feelings Sage felt last night were something she had never felt before. She had not expected it to be so painful and yet, so sweet. Was that the feeling everyone said, the pain and yet happy feeling?She felt like she had opened a door that led to a new world. She was like a tiny boat floating in the sea. Sometimes the boat was heavy and sometimes light. Her survival instinct told her to grab Jace's arms tightly and use her legs to wrap around his thin waist. When she was afraid and in pain, she would bite his shoulder to take revenge and leave bite marks…There were moments she felt she was in a theme park playing the roller coaster. The wind blew past her ears, and she shouted out happily. Then she could be a fairy, flying in the woods, playing with other fairies, picking fruits to eat, and playing hide and seek with animals. When she was finally tired, she would sleep on the tree branch.It was so comfortable…Jace looked at Sage, who was sleeping in the bathtub while leanin
Jace was quick. By the time Sage freshened up and left the bathroom, he was back with the medicine. Both of them met each other at the entrance. They made eye contact, were demure, and had no idea what to say.Jace stepped forward and touched Sage's face when he saw she looked unwell. He asked nervously, "Are you not feeling well?""A little." Sage pursed her lips. "I'm bleeding a lot, down there."It was weird. She was not bleeding last night, so Jace and her did not worry about it. Everyone who had attended human physiology class knew not all females would bleed during their first time. Sometimes, extreme exercise or injuries might tear the layer.Sage did not expect the bleeding to only start this morning, and the amount was quite a lot. It scared Sage as it was not really like menstrual bleeding."Maybe it ruptured," Jace said.Sage stared at him, "It's all your fault. So…thick and long."The descriptions were so direct. Jace burst out in laughter. Sage punched him heavily.
Sage had a deep thought about what Jace said. She did not think Sheila was jealous of her because of Finns, but she felt Jace was being jealous. With her eyes squinted, she asked, "Is she the jealous one, or was it you? Don't tell me you treat Finns as your love enemy."Jace stuttered, "Am I…that obvious?""Very." Sage exposed him mercilessly.Jace accidentally choked on his own saliva and coughed.Sage said, "Save your jealousy. It's true that I have known Finns since we were young, but our relationship is so far from being childhood friends. He is the son of our driver, Uncle Janssen. He grew up in the suburbs. Up until he was in high school, Uncle Janssen worried about his education, so Uncle Janssen requested my father to transfer him to the city to continue his education. Then he stayed in the house together with Uncle Janssen."Jace furrowed his brow, and Sage continued talking, "Although he stayed in our house, he attended boarding school during his high school years. I did
Sage gave him a look. "You can just get married. I'm not going to get in your way." Hunter looked at Sage with a bitter expression. "I've proposed three times, but Leah always says it's not the right time. According to her, you haven't married Mister Jace yet, so it's not right for her to get married before you. Why don't you and Mister Jace speed things up a bit? Can you get married as soon as possible?"Sage was tired of being rushed, so she frowned and tsked. Hunter was scared and took two steps backward. He did not dare to speak anymore.Sage glared at him and made a phone call. "Have Leah, the designer from the design department, come to my office." Hunter arched his brow.Leah knocked on the door and entered Sage's office. "Miss Sage, you asked for me?"Sage snapped the pen in her hand. She said faintly, "It's a private matter. Call me Sis.""Sis." Leah greeted Sage obediently and looked over at Hunter, who stood aside warily. She asked him apprehensively, "What's wron
Primrose was overjoyed after learning about Leah and Hunter's marriage."Uncle Sawyer, Aunt Primrose, thank you." Leah felt touched looking at Sawyer and Primrose working hard on her wedding preparation and a little flattered."Don't worry about it. I thought I'd be bored in retirement, but now I have something to do." Primrose disliked Zane, but she liked Leah very much. Leah had been obedient and a good child since she was a child. Leah's mother died young, and Leah's father was terrible. Therefore, Sawyer and Primrose were in charge of helping with the wedding preparation instead. They had little time and needed to prepare many things for the wedding. Everyone was busy.Finally, Leah and Hunter chose a good day and went to get legally married. Sage looked at Hunter and Leah showing off their marriage license on Facelook and liked their posts. She felt like she was basking in their happiness. "Open your mouth." Jace picked up a readily cut pear on a toothpick and brought i
