Jace pressed his lips and dared not to say more. The more he said, the more wrong he was.

Sage turned back and stared at him with red eyes. When Jace saw a tear suddenly roll down her cheek, his heart jumped.

'Was she crying? Did I make her cry?!'

"Sage..." Jace choked and did not know what to say. He lifted his wounded hand, wanting to wipe her tears, but Sage shouted at him and stopped him.

"Don't move." Sage was afraid that he would make the wound worse. She quickly wiped her tears with the back of her hand. "If you don't want me to shed tears, you should stop. Be good."

"Okay. I will." Jace dared not to move anymore. He leaned on the chair carefully. He turned sideways and continued staring at Sage's defined side profile.

Although his hands were dripping blood, he smiled while looking at her. He knew she was worried about him.

He was grateful that he was the one who was hurt, not her.

Sage rushed to the Samuel Health Center as quickly as possible and went straight to Ro

    Sage was already at the health center, so she went for a check anyway. Ross read Sage's pulse with his heart in his throat. After that, he was relieved to know that Sage was not pregnant.Ross thought he was going to be an uncle so soon. He was not prepared for this!Even so, Sage went to the blood collection office to have all the tests done for peace of mind. Jace stayed with her the whole time.The two were waiting for the results after the blood collection. Sage just threw the swab into the trash, and her phone rang right away. It was a phone call from Tim."Hey, Tim." As soon as Sage greeted Tim, she heard a heavy breath.Tim said in a low voice, "Are you pregnant?"Sage froze. She could feel Tim's coldness from a distance. Ever since she was a child, she feared whenever Tim talked to her in such a tone. Her feet went weak reflexively.Sage cursed Ross for being so quick to tell Tim only half of the story. How could Ross do that? He just put her in a tough position!

    Ross thought, 'I'm against this. Why am I supposed to take care of them?'Taking care of an unreliable daughter was enough to keep him busy for the rest of his life. He also had to deal with the womanizer around his daughter.Fortunately, Ross was not as loud as Luther. He only told Tim about Sage's pregnancy and no one else. If Luther knew, it meant the whole family would know, which meant Tim would not be the only one after her.Ross saw Sage all agitated. She was on pins and needles. Ross reassured her, "Don't be so nervous. It's not like you're actually pregnant. Just explain, and you'll be fine."When Sage glared at him, he dodged her gaze and let out a light cough."There's nothing wrong with Tim coming over to warn you. It's a good lesson to teach you not to be always reckless. If you actually get pregnant, it'll be too late.""How am I always reckless?!"Sage disliked the way Ross said things. "I'm just in love. How is that reckless? Even if I do get pregnant, what's w

    Tim held the long stick and pointed it at Sage across the room.His voice was intimidatingly cold."Come here." Sage would be a fool to go over at this time. She decided to listen to her instinct and hid behind Ross. She clung to Ross's back and refused to come out.After that, she poked out her head and shouted to Tim, "Tim, I'm not pregnant! If you don't believe me, ask Ross!"Sage slapped Ross hard on the back, reminding him to take responsibility for the mess he created.Ross almost vomited from the hard slap. He blurted out and said to Tim, "Ah. She's not pregnant. I forgot to tell you."Tim no longer believed in anything. His eyes turned grim. "Are you lying for her now?"Sage panicked in silence. Their explanation was futile. What else could she do? "Why aren't you coming over? Do you want me to go over instead?" Tim's face turned grim."Timmm," Sage called out to Tim in a pleasing tone. "Please listen to me. I'm totally not pregnant. It's just a false alarm."Tim d

    Sage seriously suspected that Tim and Ross were embarrassed by this misunderstanding, so they used this as a way to get out of the mess. Sage and Jace exchanged a glance. When she read Jace's soft smile, she understood at once.No doubt, she was right. These two foxes!Tim wanted to beat and scold her, but he tried to disguise it after realizing it was just a misunderstanding. How could she let him go easily?"Ross, you don't have to explain so much to him. He can't digest everything so quickly." Sage refused to play along with them. She interrupted Ross's rambling and then looked at Tim."Tim, today's misunderstanding happened because of Ross. You can settle the score with him. Meanwhile, I've suffered a lot of shock from this.""Anyway, we're not planning to get pregnant before we get married, nor are we planning to get married because of the pregnancy. It's still too early for us to get married. We want to take our time. There's no rush."Sage gave Jace a look and signaled

    Sage went to the supermarket with Jace during a really crowded weekend. She held Jace's arm and stayed with him the whole time, worrying that his hand would get hurt while squeezing in the crowd. She protected him with high alert and was better than a bodyguard. She even walked in front to clear the way for him. Jace had never enjoyed such a privilege before. Suddenly, he felt like she was protecting him like a princess. Whenever he was with Sage, he had a feeling that their genders and roles were reversed. Sage was really manly when she protected him.Sage finally relaxed a little when she arrived at the cold food area with a lesser crowd. "You wait here for a while. I'll go push a cart over."Sage grabbed a shopping card from somewhere and soon returned. She wore a white chiffon top with a black skirt and draped her long curly hair on her shoulder.She dressed casually and simply, but Jace noticed her at first glance in the crowd. Rather, he only had his eyes on her.Jace was

    The young woman was stunned by the sudden change in Jace's expression. Suddenly, a figure swept past her and ran to the man.It was Sage. Sage and Jace were already standing very close, but Jace took two steps forward anyway. "Did you get it?""Yeah." Sage showed him the ingredients in her hand. "And a handful of vegetables. It'll help with your recovery.""Okay." Jace stroked her head and responded with an indescribable gentle voice and doting eyes.After paying the bill, the couple left intimately, pushing the cart away.The young woman was a little dazed by the two's interaction. The couple was such a perfect match. She was not worthy of being like them.…They all thought it was just a small hiccup, but they did not expect to bump into each other again at the underground parking. The couple and the young woman happened to park their cars in one place, next to each other.When the young woman saw Sage with her mask off, she recognized her at once. "Suzy! Are you Sage, the

    They were so close to kissing. Jace tried to lean forward slightly, but instead, he heard a click. Sage helped him buckle his seat belt and returned to the driver's seat."Sit tight. We're going home." Sage started the engine. She was amused when she caught a glimpse of Jace's disappointed look.'You're talking to another woman, but you want me to kiss you. Dream on. Good luck holding it in."Halfway through the silent drive, Jace looked at Sage. Something flashed in his eyes. After that, he asked slowly, "Are you jealous?"Sage had to turn to him and give him a speechless glance. "Hm?"'Seriously? Did you just notice that?!' Sage thought in anger and amusement."Was I not obvious enough? Or was I not jealous enough? Are you a little too slow?"Jace took such a long time to realize this. His reaction was very slow."Are you really jealous?" Jace straightened and looked at Sage with a stern face. "Are you jealous because of me?" Sage was annoyed and amused. "Are you goin

    Whenever Jace and Sage showered together or made love, Sage could not help feeling heartbroken when she touched his scars.Jace looked at the way Sage blew on his wound gently to comfort him. Somehow, he felt like she was tickling his heart and tantalizing him."Sage." He called her softly and asked tentatively, "Are you going back tonight?""Huh?" After she was done with the medicine, Sage bandaged him again and looked up at him in confusion. "Back where?""Looming District." Jace pursed his lips. "Well, Tim's back. If you don't go home to the Looming District, wouldn't he complain?""He probably wouldn't. He hasn't seen Ross in a long time. They are probably going to get drunk tonight."Sage gave it a thought and said, "But to be on the safe side, I'd better call him. Otherwise, he'll pick on me again."…Sage dialed Tim's number. When the call connected, Sage greeted him, "Tim."Tim responded with a soft hum and asked, "What's up?"Sage heard the clinking glasses on the

    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

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.

    "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.

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.
