The sapphire was lucent as a beautiful blue lake. The crystal shimmers added a touch of blue to Sage's dewy and soulful eyes. Sage had fair skin and perfect curves. She was so beautiful and gave Jace endless inspiration in painting.She inspired every stroke he made.As the rain outside poured harder, Jace's brush strokes hastened. He did not pause and immersed himself in the painting completely.His eyes were serious and deep. He seemed to have entered a different zone, focusing only on the painting and scene in front of him.It was Sage's first time watching Jace paint live. She felt something new. Sage liked men who were serious and focused. Her father once said, "A businessman and artist's personalities hardly overlap."What he meant was that creative artists were usually more simple, focused, and obsessive people. Meanwhile, businessmen needed to be worldly to get around in business. They were too influenced by money and greed. Such influences would affect an artist's purit
It was the last rain in the spring as the weather slowly warmed up. It was the start of June.On that morning, Jace had to send Sage to the airport. His mood had been on the downside since early morning. Both of them sat at the back of the car. Jace was grasping Sage's hand tightly in his hands. He played with her hands like it was made out of clay while acting like an elderly old man and kept on sighing.Sage looked at him and was amused by his action. "What's wrong with you?"Jace turned his head to the side and looked at her. He furrowed his brow and looked sad, while Sage looked energetic and cheerful. He turned from being moody into depressed.He turned side way to embrace Sage into his arms and placed his head on her shoulder while acting like a kid. "Why don't I go with you.""I'll buy another air ticket, and we could go back to Salem City together," he said while lifting his head and looking at her with hope and anticipation.Before Sage could say anything, Zayne, sitting
It was so amusing to Sage that she laughed nonstop the whole time. She felt her stomach was hurting because she laughed too much, so much that she did not even have the energy to coax Jace.Jace could not help and look back. He saw Sage laugh so hard that her brows were bending to show how happy she was. Jace had contradicting feelings toward it. He was happy to see Sage being so happy but angry because Sage did not care for him. He could not help and went over to grab the back of Sage's head and used another hand to pinch her lower chin and kiss her lips."Oh no!" Zayne heard the noises from the back, so he looked back a little and saw that loving moment. He quickly covered his eyes and told the driver, "Hurry up, wind up the divider!"He had regretted following Jace to send Sage to the airport. He knew he would see the couple displaying public affection for each other. However, if he had not come, he could not stop Mister Jace from following Sage back; that was something he needed
Sage looked at the funny scene not far away from her. Her eyes suddenly turned red while she was smiling.Since when had parting ways become so hard? She tried to suppress her emotion and waved at Jace. A thought came into her mind, so she made a love sign on top of her head.In the past, she thought it was childish when Jace made the love sign to her, but now she has become that childish person. Jace was startled by Sage's love signal. He stood there stunned while watching Sage wave her hand, turn around, and finally leave. His heart felt pain like thousands of needles were stabbing it.The only thought he had in his mind was to stop living apart in two different cities. He was determined to end this long-distance relationship as soon as possible!…When Sage returned to Salem City, she started another busy period. She was busy with her family and also work. Leah's wedding was getting near. Everyone in the family was busy preparing for her wedding.Salem City had many wedding
Primrose looked back and stared at Sage. "You do it."Sage was not scared. She tied her hair up and acted domineering. "Give me the needle!"Primrose passed the needle to Sage. Then Sage sat down and started to sew like a professional. Her skills were excellent, and so was her speed. Her posture looked good too. The servants were stunned by her and started to give her many compliments.Zamora smiled pleasingly. 'She is my apprentice. It's not surprising that she is so talented,' she thought."You are really quite good at it." Although Primrose always complained about Sage since she was small, she would still compliment Sage when it was appropriate.Later she started to ask Sage to teach her how to sew humbly. Too bad everyone had their own shortfall. Primrose could handle weapons but not the needle. Within an hour, she had accidentally stabbed herself many times.Sawyer's heart ached, and he disallowed her from sewing anymore. He even reprimanded Sage, "Do you think your mom is a
Sage looked at Shanie and asked a question that had been in her mind for a long time."Did Peter have actual feelings for you?"At that time, Shanie was drinking her coffee. When she heard that question, she nearly spitted out the coffee in her mouth. It took her great effort to swallow it down, but she still choked in the end. She coughed as a result of the choking.Sage quickly drew out some tissues and passed them to her. She said apologetically, "Are you alright?"Shanie waved her hand and wiped away the coffee stain at the corner of her mouth. She looked at Sage with a terrifying look. "Are you alright?"Sage was lost in words."What nonsense are you talking about? How could Peter fall in love with me and have actual feelings for me?" Shanie started wiping the stain off her dress and thought Sage's assumption was nothing but foolish words.Sage said, "Why is it impossible? You're pretty with a good figure and also cool characteristics. There's no reason why he won't fall in
Shanie realized what she meant and teased her, "Oh, dear. It seems like he's good in bed. Well, at least that matches his face."The two women went on and on. Sage coughed lightly and said, "No more jokes. Let's get down to business." Sage then told Shanie about Peter's question at Lucas's funeral.Shanie said, "That doesn't mean anything. He probably asked that casually because he had nothing to say."Sage asked her directly, "Has he ever called you, girl, in front of you?""No." Shanie shook her head. Her eyes flickered a little. "That dense man actually called me girl?"Sage nodded confidently and said, "Yep. I heard it loud and clear. Based on my woman's sixth sense, I think he's still in love with you."Shanie could not believe it. "Maybe he's just… pretending?""Do you think he has to act like he's doting on you in front of me?" Sage asked the critical question.Shanie was stunned. "Doting?!"'Is he really doting on me?' Shanie thought in disbelief.…Shanie was deci
The driver sped to Skye Hotel. The car flew down the road, but Sage kept complaining that it was too slow.Sage wanted to drive the car herself and told the driver several times, but the driver looked at her state and refused. He insisted on driving her to Skye Hotel. He was in so much rush that sweat covered his head.The moment the car stopped, Sage rushed into the hotel as fast as lightning. She grabbed her phone and ran in!The driver wiped the sweat from his head and sighed helplessly. "Women in love are really…"When Sage arrived at room 88, she keyed in the password code in a hurry. She always failed to enter the code on a digital screen because of the thick calluses on her fingers. She had no choice but to tell Luther to change it to a combination lock.For some reason, Sage failed to enter the password twice. She was unsure if it had failed because she was too hurried or for other reasons. Sage was so angry and stomped her feet. Just as she was about to key in the passcod
