Sage was so relieved to have Luna in jail.Freya was very grateful to the PR team Primrose hired. Although she wrote the statement herself, the PR team was responsible for reviewing it and making it better.After all, the PR team was professional. Freya was able to win the battle because of their help.Freya paid for the team to have a great time in the cities around Nadeem City. Meanwhile, Primrose and Sawyer decided to stay in Nadeem City for a few days. Whenever Sawyer came to Nadeem City, he spent most of his time at the Yuriel Treasure Museum. He was very interested in the 'Forget Me Not' Antique Restoration Project. Whenever tempted, he would help the team too.However, most of the time, Wayne would complain about him."Go away. You're so clumsy. Don't disturb my work! Go find your wife instead!" Wayne was very strict when it came to his work. Sage and Jace saw the defeated Sawyer, so they could not help but snicker. "The only one who dares to complain about Dad is only
Sage said with a wry smile, "We're talking about how you and Dad kiss like nobody's there in front of Grandpa.""That's it?"Primrose's expression did not change after hearing that. She said, "What's wrong with that? We're legally married. What's wrong with kissing? It's not just before. We'll still kiss like nobody's business now."Primrose leaned over to the window and said to Wayne, "Dad, if you want to see us kiss, I'll call Sawyer out and give him a kiss?"Wayne almost choked at her words and went speechless. "Go away. Why are you bullying me, an old bachelor?"Everyone started laughing again. The old couple from the Luz family laughed along with them.Sage could not help but sigh. Her mother had always been bolder than Sawyer. She knew nothing about being shy.Primrose and Freya bought many things. Some were for Leah. Wayne had a sharp ear and overheard about Leah and Hunter's upcoming marriage. He ran out at once and shouted, "Leah's getting married?!""Yup. The weddin
Jace furrowed his brow hard upon seeing Sienna, who came out from nowhere. His expression turned cold.Sage stood behind Jace and leaned close to him. She glanced at Sienna on her knees and narrowed her eyes slightly. Looking at Sienna's state, it seemed like someone had taught her a lesson. Who did it?Sage looked around and saw a van parked on the roadside not far away. The few people leaning on the van looked like bad people. They had cigarettes in their mouths and looked over intently. They seemed aggressive with bad intent.Sage immediately understood. The debt collectors must be after Sienna. She had no way out and was desperate."Jace..." Sienna looked at Jace as if he was her only savior. She moved a few steps closer to him on her knees and sobbed, "I really have no choice… My father owed a lot of debts before he died. Those moneylenders came to me and forced me to pay them. If I don't, they'll beat me up. Sob… What does this have to do with me?"Jace's reply was harsh a
Jace grabbed the lighter and looked up without any trace of warmth in his eyes. His cold gaze made the big man unconsciously stay away from the car slightly and straighten up.Jace turned his head to Sage and said, "I'll go down first." Sage stared at him for a few seconds without any expression on her face. She nodded softly. "Okay." When Jace opened the door, Sienna saw hope and was almost crying with joy. "Jace, I knew you wouldn't leave me alone!"However, as soon as she shouted that, she saw Jace walking in the other direction. Jace pulled Zayne out of the group of debt collectors.While the crowd stared in confusion, Jace quickly got into the car with Zayne and ignored Sienna."Drive." Jace rolled up the window as the car quickly drove away. The debt collectors reacted too late. They wanted to chase them, but they could not catch up."F*ck!" A red-haired guy was so angry that he threw the stick out of his hand. He scratched his head in annoyance and turned around to give
The car had been on the road for quite some time now, and Sage did not say a thing. The atmosphere in the car was miserably quiet. Sage did not feel like talking, and Jace…did not dare to talk.Sienna had always been a sensitive topic between both of them. From Jace's point of view, Sienna was nothing special or important. It was just a past that he had long forgotten. However, he did not know how much Sage minded about it. The only thing he could be certain of was that Sage's emotion was greatly affected after seeing Sienna appear before them. She would be unhappy. In the end, he still blamed himself for it.Zayne was sitting in the front passenger seat. He felt the suppressing atmosphere in the car and thought he had a certain responsibility to say a thing or two."I know Mister Jace won't leave me alone out there." Zayne looked back and smiled. "When you got down from the car, I panicked. I thought you were going to save Sienna. Luckily, you headed my way…"It was impossible for
Jace widened his eyes and said, "So harsh?""Are you going to accept the punishment?" Sage asked.Jace smiled and said, "I'll accept it if that's what you want."Sage pinched his handsome face. "Tsk, tsk. You know I won't do it. So you are not scared, right?"Jace curled up his lips into a smile. He gazed into her eyes for a moment, then embraced her into his arms and held her tightly."Sage, I love you."His voice was low but full of determination, like it took all of his courage to say that sentence. Sage was shocked to hear it. Despite being a different person from previously, Jace was more cheerful now. However, he was still a restrained person. It was rare to hear him confess his love, and every time he did it, it shocked Sage's heart."I'm sorry." He hugged her and spoke with remorse, "I shouldn't treat you like that in the past."Sage sighed helplessly. "Didn't we agree to let the past be in the past?""But I'm afraid. Afraid that once you see Sienna, you will remember
Sage was amused to see Yoel in pain when Jace poked Yoel where it hurt the most.During his recovery time in Samuel Health Center, it was the period where the Zeldas were causing trouble. It helped Yoel better his image and proved that he was a good person.Melody told Sage when the Zeldas brought a bunch of reporters to create trouble in the center. No one knew what to do. Yoel quickly sent a group of people over to surround the entire center and blocked the reporter from entering. His people helped to maintain the order of the center. Without him, the center would be in chaos.Sage said, "Then he reacted swiftly."Melody continued, "Yes, he did. Too bad you weren't there to see it. He was talking happily to me with his crutches. Then the next second, his face changed. There was a reporter who tried to sneak in while disguising himself as a patient. He saw right through the disguise with his eyes and stopped the reporter with his crutch. Then he threw the reporter out by grabbing
In Sage's point of view, Seth was not the only one who could gain weight because he was happily in love.Seth laughed and answered, "Alright, alright."Suki picked the right time to show her face to the camera. She was smiling beautifully as usual. "Sage, why don't you join us for the movie premier?"Sage smiled and answered, "Sure thing."Then Seth shook his head at Suki, but he did not understand. Sage said, "Alright, stop with the winking. I know the movie takes place in the jungle. Don't worry. It's just a movie. Nothing will happen."Seth was still worried. "Are you sure?""Yes." Sage looked to the side. "He will be there with me."Jace smiled at her and nodded.…No matter how many times Seth expressed that this movie was not the movie where Seth and Suki set eyes on each other, the movie was still crowned as the movie which both of them fell in love with. As a result, Seth had to explain to everyone everywhere they went.Truthfully speaking, they had gotten into a rela
Sage heard of the saying, 'Marriage is for happiness, and so does divorce.'Based on Wikipedia, the definition of marriage was, 'Marriage is a long-term contractual relationship between a man and a woman based on equal consent.'Someone once said, 'Marriage is like a siege. Those outside wanted to break in, while people inside wanted to break out of the siege.'Sage and Jace had been through marriage once. In their first marriage, they were both losers. This time, they were both determined to win. They wanted to live their lives well. Even if their passion were to fade in the future, they would never leave each other. There were eight couples in line ahead of them. Sage and Jace were the ninth.Jace was eager for their turn. He counted carefully and then said with a smile, "It's nine again. It's a good day for this number."Jace suddenly came up with a good idea, "Let's have a daughter and call her Little Nine, okay?"'Did he just come up with that? How brave,' Sage thought and
The ninth of September arrived quickly.Sage was worried that Jace would not be able to get up on time, but Sage turned out to be the one who overslept. Sage had not slept all night because of a certain someone. She was so sleepy, while Jace was full of energy.Jace carried Sage to the bathroom to wash up and brush her teeth. "Open your mouth. Ah…"Sage squinted as she saw the terrible dark circles under her eyes. She turned around in anger and bumped Jace's head.Jace was caught off guard and felt dizzy from the impact. He rubbed his head. "Dear, aren't you hurting yourself by doing this…""Look at my dark circles. They're so ugly. How am I supposed to take pictures? Sage complained in anger.Jace squinted and rubbed his eyes. "Let me see. What's ugly?"He held Sage's face and observed it. "What's ugly? It's not ugly. My wife is the prettiest in the world!"Jace did not care about the toothpaste foam all over Sage's mouth and kissed her anyway.Primrose opened the door and
Jace made Sage stay up all night. Sage was so sleepy that her eyes were closing."Sleep. I'll wake you up later."Jace leaned down and kissed her forehead. As he closed his eyes, he remembered something and sat up sharply."By the way, we have to wear white shirts for tomorrow's photo session. We haven't prepared the shirt…"Jace rolled over and jumped off the bed right after saying that. Sage could not stop him in time, so she turned on the lamp helplessly. She leaned over the bed and waited for Jace in silence.Shortly after, Jace came back with two shirts. His eyes were shining. "Dear, you've prepared for us?""Yeah." Sage nodded weakly. "I've got them ready. I've had Zamora iron them for me."Jace could finally put his mind at ease. "What about the documents and identifications…"Sage pulled open the drawer of the bedside table and took out the papers and documents she had prepared ahead. "It's all here."Sage looked at Jace. "Everything is ready. You've checked three time
Sage spread out the notebook and looked at the blurred handwriting. She slowly read it out loud, "Step one, conquer her with sweet talking. Use sweeter and flirtatious words that would make people blush. Forget about modesty and shame in bed. It's best to whisper them into her ears…"Sage read the notes with a straight face, making Jace so embarrassed that he could hardly keep his feet on the ground.Jace strode forward with a stiff face and tried to snatch the notebook away. Sage was quick to dodge and continued reading with her head down."Step two, be aggressive at your offense. Focus and remember this, being rough yet gentle. You can use props such as blindfolds, ties, handcuffs, and so on…"Sage's face turned red while reading it. As the images popped into her mind, she had to stop reading.Jace was about to go crazy. He buried his face in his hands, unable to look up at Sage."Where did you learn all these?" Sage threw the notebook at Jace. "Rough yet gentle? Are you seriou
'Electric drill? Seriously?!' Jace thought and got a headache.Seeing that Sage was about to open her mouth again, he panicked and kissed her directly to shut her up.Dean was stunned by Jace's quick action. When he saw the couple kissing in the light, he suddenly raised his hand and hit his head.'I must be on the set… Who else would be so shameless as to kiss in public like that?' Dean thought.Sage finally calmed down after a long kiss. Jace breathed a sigh of relief and picked her up. He told Logan, "I'll leave the other guy to you!""Oh," Logan responded. Then he picked Dean up like a kid and walked out the door.Jace was tired and sweaty by the time he arrived at the hotel. Sage was already soundly asleep. Jace put her to bed and took off her shoes, socks, pants, and clothes. He stripped her clean.Sage drank a lot and was reeking of alcohol. Jace did not want to wake her up, so he did not carry her to the bathroom and bathe her. Instead, he wet the towel with hot water to
In the words of the commentators, the basketball game was very smooth. The national team played well! At last, the national team defeated the opponent team by a score of 106-73.The crowd was thrilled that the national team had won the game. The internet was buzzing with excitement too. There were several hot searches about the national team's victory. The topic #RisingStarJim made the headlines too.Sage had lost her usual composure. She was following the fans and shouting wildly, cheering for the victory.Perhaps this was the power of sports. It made the audience exhilarated and trembling with excitement. Jace looked calm on the outside, but he was actually quite excited on the inside.Sage was cheering in excitement. She jumped up and down like a child while hugging Jace. Jace followed and laughed with her too.They were planning to leave after the game, but Sage was really happy and stayed for the team's celebration party. Sage even asked Jim for his teammates' shoe sizes and
"Is that so?" A trace of interest flashed in Jace's eyes.Sage did not understand, so she asked, "What does a small forward do?"Jace explained, "The small forwards are typically the tallest and most athletic of all players. They are responsible for scoring points and defending. The main goal of strong shooters is to score and create opportunities for teammates. In other cases, they would operate as off-ball specialists. They would wait for teammates to pass the ball, catch the ball, and shoot to score."Seeing Sage's confused look, Jace added, "James and Durant, for example, are playing as small forwards.""Oh!" Sage immediately understood after hearing the name of these famous basketball stars. Her eyes lit up. "Isn't that amazing?"Jace saw the sparkle in her eyes and found her really adorable. He said, smiling, "It is. Basketball is all about teamwork. Small forward is probably the most versatile of the five main basketball positions and carries multiple functions in the game.
The next morning, Sage, Jace, and Dean went to the basketball arena for the World Championships after breakfast.It was the men's basketball world championship, where their country's basketball team was up against another country. By the time they got to the arena, many people were in the audience.The staff guided Sage and the group to their designated seat in the family section.As soon as Dean sat down, someone next to him called out his name. Dean seemed unsurprised by this. He even smiled and waved at them. After that, he gestured for them to be polite and silent. It was not Dean's first time watching his younger brother's basketball game live. Many of his fans knew that Dean's younger brother was playing on the national team. They especially came over to get closer to him. Some were Jim's fans too. They knew Dean was Jim's brother, so they would greet him.After listening to Dean's explanation, Sage's businessman side as the owner of Norah Entertainment appeared again."If
Jace muffled his laughs and relaxed in the night light. He said, "I have to work harder, or someone will call me old.""Hey." Sage knew he would get back at her.She rolled over and lay on top of Jace. She played with his chest and said in a muffled voice, "I have a new nickname for you."Jace responded, "Hm?"Sage looked up at him. "Vengeance."Jace was stunned and soon broke into a peal of laughter. Sage leaned on him and felt the rise and fall of his breathing. As his chest resonated with his laughter, Sage followed along with his laughter. Both of them were laughing like fools. Sage and Jace lay flat on the bed after laughing nonstop. They opened up and improved their intimacy so much. As a result, their whole body and mind were very relaxed tonight. "Hey..." The two spoke in unison, exchanged a glance, and smiled again.Sage said, "Go ahead."Jace looked at Sage and muttered, "I'll say something, but don't get mad at it.""Just say it." Sage looked at him.Jace though
