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
Jace took Sage's hand and entered the house. The servants greeted Sage warmly.When Sage came to the Yuriel Mansion, she told them not to call her Missus Yuriel anymore, so they called her Miss Sage. Jace had always been a nostalgic person. The servants in Yuriel Mansion had been working for him for years. Nothing much had changed. To the servants, they still thought of Sage as Jace's other half. Jace ordered the servant to prepare fruits, snacks, and tea before taking Sage upstairs. Sage had not been here in six months. Indeed, Yuriel Mansion had become a very different place.Jace put Sage's suitcase into the walk-in closet and took out a pair of plush pink slippers. "It's washed."Sage put on the slippers and laughed when she remembered the box of slippers he had given her not long ago."How about I show you around?" Sage nodded. "Okay."Jacob's sense of design was good. He designed the place with the most popular minimalist style. He chose the multi-layer solid wood in
After a long silence, she patted her back lightly as if to comfort him. "Okay. I trust you."…Yuriel Mansion had a newly hired cook that specialized in local cuisine.The local dishes were usually appetizing. Sage wanted to stay in shape, so she usually ate less at night. However, she had been trying to fatten up lately, so she did not control herself and ate happily. She had two bowls of food and ate until she was satisfied and stuffed.After dinner, Jace took her to the supermarket for a walk and bought many snacks. Sage muttered softly, "Are you treating me as a kid?" Jace gently pinched her cheek. He said, smiling, "Aren't you still a kid, Little Sage?"People always said that only a man who loved you would spoil you as a child. Jace was willing to pamper her like a child, so she would be a child and let him pamper her. It was no big deal.She thought being a happy fool at the moment was the most important thing in the relationship.While waiting in line at the counter,
They spent a long time shopping in the supermarket. They no longer felt stuffed from dinner.Jace drove Sage home. While on the way back, Sage opened a bag of White Rabbit Milk Candy while sitting in the passenger seat. She had these as snacks as a child. It always reminded her of childhood memories."I remember a time when my parents were gone for half a month. I was little and didn't know what they were doing. They left me with my grandfather, so I thought they didn't want me anymore. I kept crying, so grandpa took me to a small store and bought some White Rabbit Milk Candy to coax me." Sage unwrapped the candy paper and stuffed one into her mouth. The taste of milk immediately filled her mouth. "Well, it still tastes the same in my memory." Jace looked at Sage, squinting her eyes while enjoying the candy, and smiled at her blissful face."Do you want some candy?" Sage asked him.Jace nodded. "I do." Sage then unwrapped one for him and put it in his mouth. Jace took it in a
