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
Sage scratched her head. "I haven't practiced in a long while. It isn't that great. I hope you like it."Tim stood beside them and said, "You better open it after you get on the plane. I'm scared it would hurt my eyes because it's too ugly."Sage fell silent and glanced at Tim. She silently thought, 'Even if I write with my eyes closed, it's still better than your handwriting!' However, Sage was good at reading moods and dared not say that out loud. A small smile tugged at his lips. He looked at Sage and thanked her, "Thanks for the gift."Sage answered with a nod, "Have a safe trip."Sage looked at Yale's leaving figure and felt a little melancholy. She did not know when they would meet again after this separation. They had their own lives. Perhaps, this was what it meant to be an adult.Everyone had to face different challenges in life. One could not just simply share their hardships with others."Let's go. We'll see each other sooner or later." Tim tapped Sage on the shoulde
Sage could finally breathe a sigh of relief and relax for a while after the Annual Rose Festival was over.Yuriel Group's Antique Restoration Project, 'Forget Me Not', released plenty of good stuff in the third phase.Sage was itching to see Wayne restore the few antique pieces Howl had sent. She wanted to see them soon, so she decided to go back to Nadeem City with Jace."That's all an excuse. You just want to go with your boyfriend. Why don't you just admit it?" Primrose saw Sage packing in her room and exposed her real intention. Sage threw two sets of pajamas into her suitcase and looked up when Primrose teased her. "Yeah, yeah. I just want to be with my boyfriend. What's wrong with that?""Look at you. You follow your last name when you're in love," Primrose said with contempt.Sage said, "I follow my dad's last name, not yours."Primrose choked in anger and fell silent. She was so furious that she gave Sage a hard slap on her buttock. "How dare you talk back to me?"Sa
Primrose got up from the bed. She came to Sage and rubbed her head. It was rare for her to be so motherly with Sage."I hope you've really thought it through. No matter what, don't be afraid and just do what you want. You have the power to do so. The sky won't fall with your dad and me around. Even if it does, your brothers will be here for you."Sage laughed, but her nose felt sore, and her eyes were moist. After all, she was lucky enough to have such a big family who would protect her at all costs. It was a blessing that allowed her to go after what she really wanted without fear.…When Sage was back in Nadeem City, she wanted to return to her own apartment in the Looming District. Jace seemed reluctant and asked tentatively, "I renovated the Yuriel Mansion. Do you want to come and visit?" Sage was stunned. "You renovated the Yuriel Mansion?""Yeah." Jace nodded. "I had Jacob design it. He hasn't graduated, but he's not bad at it. He did it with a group of his classmates
