Sage looked at the clock; it was already ten o'clock at night. She was surprised to know how long she had slept…

She pinched the center of her eyebrows and asked, "Everybody must be sleeping now."

"Yes." Jace sat at the bedside. "We chatted for a while in the living room after returning. Everyone was tired, so they just returned to their bedroom after dinner."

When she heard the word 'dinner', she unconsciously toucher her stomach. She was a little hungry. Jace monitored every movement Sage made and asked her, "Are you hungry?"

Sage looked at him and nodded her head like a poor kid. She did not have the chance to eat during the wedding ceremony. Oh, wait. She did have a few peanuts before she was taken to the police station by the police. The police station did prepare a meal for her. Nonetheless, her mother said it was not appropriate to eat a prisoner meal on an auspicious day. Thus, they bought food for them from the outside, but she and Leah did not have the appetite to eat any

    The good aroma of the sauce and pasta eased Tim's face. Jace was very considerate and prepared a nice fork for Tim.Tim waved his hand. "I'll use the same cutleries."Jace handed over the cutleries.Tim said, "Thank you."Sage started digging in with large mouthfuls of food. She was starving and had completely forgotten about her ladylike manners."Eat slowly. Don't choke yourself."Jace saw her eating happily and reminded her to slow down. He poured a glass of warm water for the siblings."How is it? Does it taste okay?"Sage nodded. "It's very nice! I'll give you a five-star review!"Jace laughed in joy."Aren't you eating?" Sage asked him.Jace shook his head. "I'm still full from dinner. I'm not hungry. You can have all you want. There's still more."While they were talking, Nigel and Sean came into the kitchen. "I was wondering about the nice smell. So you're eating pasta bolognese! Is there more?""Yes." Jace served the remaining pasta to Nigel and Sean.Jace saw Ni

    Leah asked Sage, "Would you choose someone you love or someone who loves you?"Sage chuckled. "The old me would say this. I don't care if he loves me. As long as I love him, it's enough. After all, many people love me, but I love only that one person. Look at what happened to me later. Reality taught me a hard lesson.""However, I still think my love for him is more important than his love for me. Anyway, love goes both ways. Love or marriage it's a two-person thing and can't be done alone. I love him, so he has to love me more than I do. I'm just that domineering!"Leah could not help but laugh. Sage was domineering because she could. She had the power to walk the talk.…After that, Jace carried Sage out of the bathroom.Sage had a large towel around her. Jace dried her hair already, but her hair was not completely dry yet. She rested her head on Jace's lap while he gently combed her hair with a comb.Sage lazily let him comb her hair and closed her eyes comfortably. Then, she

    Jace knew Sage must have thought about it. Perhaps, she already had someone in her mind, and he was right. Sage did not want to think about it, but she could not help thinking about it after hearing what Sean told her at the police station. Sometimes, an outsider would see things more clearly than someone stuck in a difficult situation. Others could see the problem at a glance, but it took her a little longer to come to a realization."I have many enemies both publicly and in the dark. I have a few strong enemies in business, but I've formed an alliance with the strongest one."Sage looked over at Jace and smiled with squinted eyes.Jace did not expect her to be able to joke about such things. He was slightly stunned at first. After that, he laughed and leaned over to kiss her."Yeah. I've never expected the Norah and Yuriel family to become strategic partners." The two families were in the same boat."But." Sage said with a change of tune and coolness in his eyes, "I can't

She came over from behind and stood in front of him.She fixed her eyes on him."What are you seeing? What's on your mind?"Sheila asked and glanced back, "Are you wondering why there are thousands of lights out there, but none of them are on for you?"Finn did not say anything, but his body shivered as a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.Sheila caught it and chuckled. "I think I got it."Finn pursed his lips and did not say anything.Sheila was always powerful and could read his mind from their first meeting. She understood his thoughts and even the subconscious ideas he had. He was unwilling to think about those, but she was able to say them out loud for him.At first, he thought he had found his soul mate and confidante. Now, he just felt terrible.Rather than saying she understood him, she was just using him.Sheila used his obsession and de

    "Tim, I'll take her to wash up. See you at the court in ten minutes," Jace said to Tim sheepishly. Then, he picked up Sage and ran away in a flash.Tim watched as Jace carried Sage away and shook his head helplessly. After Sage had a boyfriend, her temper grew significantly. Jace was clearly spoiling her too much.…"Why are you getting jealous of Tim?"Jace moved so quickly as he carried Sage to the bathroom, showered her quickly, and then carried her from the bathroom to the dressing room. He changed her clothes and blew her hair. Throughout the whole time, Sage barely moved. Jace's voice became a little distorted, accompanied by the sound of the hair dryer. Jace was speaking to her, and Sage could only hear a little. However, she soon became distracted and thought about something else. At last, the sound of the hair dryer stopped.

    Sage got out of the car and walked into the martial arts studio. The interior seemed very new. She even noticed a faint smell of construction material from the newly renovated place."Miss, is this your first time here? Do you want to learn martial arts?" A young man with earrings and martial arts clothes came over with a big smile. When he saw Logan's stern and scary-looking face behind Sage, he withdrew his smile slightly and said, "Are you two together? We offer a discount on our couple cards. By the way, this store is run by a sweet couple.""A couple?" Sage's eyes were slightly austere.The young man smiled. "Yup. The store wasn't originally called this name. Recently, our boss bought it from the previous owner and gave it to his partner."Sage asked indifferently, "Are they married?"The young man just got out the cards for couples and wanted to tell them about the discount, but Sage's question startled him. "Oh, do you mean Mister Janssen and Miss Stone? Not yet. The two

"Let me see. What's ugly?"He held Sage's face and observed it. "What's ugly? It's not ugly.

    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

    "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.

    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.
