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

    Perhaps, Finn was still stuck in the dream. "Why are you dazed?"The woman's voice was soft and delicate, just like her body. 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. Jace looked at the dazed Sage and brushed her hair gently. "Sage...""Hm?" Sage finally returned to her senses.Jace looked at her. "Did you hea

    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

    The martial arts studio was quite big and occupied three floors. There were many students. Many parents accompany their children to learn martial arts and strengthen their bodies.Many girls also came to learn martial arts for self-defense purposes. They wanted to avoid the risk of domestic violence in the future and practice with great vigor.Sheila acted like the lady boss and guided Sage inside while introducing her to the place."This is a prime area with a high rental. Finn is spending a lot of money for you," Sage chatted with Sheila.Sheila chuckled and turned to Sage. "Miss Sage. Are you jealous?""Well, a little." Sage was surprisingly frank."I guessed he would start his own business after he resigns from Norah Group, but I didn't expect his first venture to be a martial arts studio. I knew Finn was a workaholic, but I didn't expect him to be such a loyal lover. He would do anything for love. I'm really impressed with him.""Not really, but he's really nice to me."Sh

    Sage walked into the dressing room and changed into the martial arts uniform. It was a white overshirt with a label on the chest.Sage stared at the black flame-shaped label and furrowed her brow slightly. She unconsciously touched the label with her hand. Somehow, the label seemed very familiar-looking. She might have seen it somewhere before."Miss Sage, are you done changing?" Sheila knocked on her door.Sage responded with a hum, opened the door, and walked out.Sheila had changed into a similar outfit as her and wore a black belt with her name embroidered on it. There were three gold bar lines on the belt too.Sheila had a level three black belt in martial arts. It was pretty impressive for a girl to reach this level at this age.Sage looked at it indifferently as if this was common. Her indifference made Sheila feel uncomfortable.Sheila thought her rank would stir Sage. She could not wait to see her reaction, but Sage did not show any reaction at all.She wondered if Sag

    The young man smiled sheepishly and said, "Bro, I'm not joking. Sheila is a master of the masters. Many came to challenge Sheila when the studio was newly opened, but they were all defeated. Don't just look at the three lines on her belt. Sheila is really experienced in combat, so someone ordinary can't defeat her."Logan maintained a tense face and said nothing. After all, Sage was no ordinary person.If Logan had not fought Sage before, he might have been worried. However, he had personally tested Sage's skills before. During the fight, he could not even get an advantage over her.Logan did not believe that Sheila was that capable of winning against Sage, who had a level seven black belt. Sheila could not win unless Sage went easy on her.Soon after, the young man exclaimed, "Woah!" His loud exclamation made Logan's head buzz.Sage and Sheila's sparring fight had begun.Logan watched the two figures moving on the stage intently and watched Sheila's movements closely.Sometimes

    Sage sensed Sheila's anger from the punch earlier, but she did not feel sorry.Firstly, Sheila was the one who attacked her face first. It was normal for self-defense and a follow-up attack in a sparring session.Secondly, Sage did not hit her hard. After all, it was just a spar. There was no need to get so serious. She would have slapped her for real if this were an actual fight.However, Sheila obviously had no intention to stop. She kicked at Sage again.Sage did not go easy on her this time. Instead of dodging, she retaliated with a hard move. Both of them leaped in the air at the same time. They lifted their legs high and collided with each other.Logan and the young man could only hear the whoosh in the air. The young man went wide-eyed at the fight on stage. For a moment, he felt like he was watching a martial arts movie.At this point, rules did not matter anymore. As soon as Sheila's leg was up, Sage knew she was serious.Sage was not afraid. Instead, she seemed a littl

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. 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.

    "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. 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."
