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
Sage hurriedly ran to the closet and buried her face in the wardrobe. Then, she slowly breathed out.Sage thought, 'That was so awkward. Am I an id*ot? How did I fall while walking on a flat surface? It isn't something anyone would normally do!'Sage hoped a handsome angel would take her away!When Sage calmed down, she realized that the closet was full of women's clothes and filled with rows of underwear and pajamas.Sage was confused. These were not hers and seemed newly bought. There were no tags on them, and they looked clean and washed.Sage reached out and looked around. Then, she realized that the women's loungewear was all her sizes. It was the same for the underwear too.It was the brand she always wore too. The fabric was very soft and very comfortable.Sage turned her head when she heard a light footstep from behind. She saw Jace walking in after he had changed into a loose white T-shirt and shorts. Jace looked clean and refreshed.Sage asked him, "Did you buy these
Sage and Jace moved from the sofa to the bed.Sage felt like a fish swimming in the man's arms. She kept squirming around but just could not break free from his hold. He was like a big mountain that was pressing on top of her. Sometimes, he was like a volcano, burning hot in her.The moon silently crept up the sky as the whole world turned silent. The roses in Yuriel Mansion bloomed beautifully in the courtyard under the moonlight. The flower bloomed extraordinarily gorgeous this spring. A kitten was meowing outside and purred happily. Sage wrapped her arms around Jace's neck tightly. He kept stirring her until she melted into a soft puddle of spring water.The next morning, Jace washed up with Sage in his arms. He took her downstairs to the gym and began his daily routine. Sage sat on the yoga ball lazily and watched Jace lifting the dumbbell early in the morning. She admired him from the bottom of his heart.He was working out after all the intense exercise yesterday late
Sage strained her neck slightly and wanted to move, but Jace stopped her. He suddenly said, "Don't move."Jace propped up his body above her. He maintained a push-up position and smiled playfully. "Next, I'll do planking." Before Sage could react, Jace kissed her lips.He rested his arms against her shoulders and held the pose. He remained still except for his mouth.…"Aunt, are you moving in with Uncle Jace so soon?""Moving in? Don't say nonsense.""Oh." Melody muttered as she massaged Sage's shoulders and neck, "You're staying in the same place, but you call that not living together…""You don't know anything, you little brat!" Sage sat up from the bed and moved her shoulders. She had been busy lately, and her shoulders were stiff from sitting and standing for too long. After that, she pressed her lower back and said to Melody, "Can you press my lower back? It's sore.""Fine. Lie down then."Sage must admit that Melody was great at massaging. It was so comfortable th
When Yoel saw Melody, he almost screamed."Ahhh! Why are you here?!""My family runs this health center," Melody said without a trace of warmth in her voice.Yoel's earlier voice and gestures shocked and disgusted her. She only had one thought in mind, 'How did I even fall in love with such a crazy man in the first place? Was I blind? Did I lose my mind?!'Melody breathed out a sigh helplessly and whispered a question to Sage, "Aunt, is Yoel really straight?" Sage shot Yoel a cool look. A dangerous and icy glint flashed in her sharp eyes."I'm doubting that now too." Yoel was shocked. "Why are you doubting my sexuality now?!"Not only that, but they said it out loud. Sage and Jace really did not bother to care about his feelings.Jace walked to Sage and tried to clear his name. "I'm straight. I'm very straight." Yoel glared at Jace with a sullen look and fell silent. 'He only cared about Sage! After he has her, he no longer cares about his brother!'"Hmph!" Yoel acted pat
