Sage looked at her fingers with disgust in her eyes."Why did you use so much bandage on me?"Jace could tell she was complaining about the way he bandaged her wound. "Shall I redo it?"As he spoke, he wanted to undo the bandage. Sage retracted her hand and said, "Forget it. Just leave it that way. I don't want to suffer twice."'It's ugly, but it's fine as long as he's handsome.'Jace looked at Sage's wounded hand and could not hide his heartache. He wiped off the blood on the carving knife and looked at the unfinished jade carving.Jace asked, "Are you going to continue with the carving?"Sage glanced at the half-done carving. After carving it out, the image of the memory deeply rooted in her mind seemed less significant than before. Suddenly, it just became a blur. Perhaps this was the feeling of how things had changed."I'm not carving anymore. Let's leave it."Sage was covered in jade shavings and powder. Her hands were dirty too. She wanted to get up and wash her hands,

Sage seemed like she wanted to continue the game to the end. She looked up at him and asked, "How dangerous?"Her provocation was bad. It seemed deliberate and a little childish, but it was a challenge to a man's pride. It seemed wrong to do nothing, so everything that followed came naturally.…It was freezing cold in the cell.Finn lay on the cold hard bed and looked up at the ceiling, unable to sleep all night.Finn lost count of how many sleepless nights he had. He did not dare to close his eyes anymore. Every time he closed his eyes, he would drown in the infinite ocean. He would sink deeper and deeper and get tangled in the water. No matter how much he struggled, he could not break away from it.It was getting harder and harder to breathe. There was nothing but darkness in front of him. He could not see the light at all.Finn wondered when he started to lose sight of his path. There were traps on the left and cliffs on the right. Both were tempting him to go over.Sheil

It was very windy at night. Soon, it started to rain heavily.The heavy rain cracked against the windows while the wind whistled like a baby's cry and whimper.Sage looked tired. She lay in Jace's embrace with her eyes closed. Her mind was dull, but she was still awake.Jace listened to her unsteady breathing and knew she was not yet asleep.Jace pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead and said in a low and deep voice, "It's raining outside." Sage replied with a soft hum. Then, she said, "It's noisy outside.""How about listening to some music?" Jace suggested.Sage opened her eyes in the darkness and answered with a soft hum.Jace grabbed the Bluetooth headset and connected it to the music. He played a soothing ballad, but Sage asked, "Is there anything more intense?""How about some heavy metal rock music?"Sage shook her head and took Jace's phone. She scrolled around and found a theme song of an epic battle movie."I was drunk from the gentle spring breeze. When we first

People were really strange creatures. Feelings were equally strange too. When he had no love for her, she could not evoke his feelings, no matter her actions. When he loved her, he liked everything about her, even her shortcomings. In short, there was no need to please someone who disliked her. It would be useless anyway.The most important thing was to find someone who really liked her. Even if she did nothing, he would continue to like her.Her real self might be ugly, but it was a hundred times prettier than the fake persona she tried so hard to maintain. All in all, sincere honesty would lead to an invulnerability relationship.If people were more honest and truthful with each other, things would be less complicated.Sage sighed imperceptibly.Jace noticed her distracted mood. "What? Are you still thinking about Finn?""Yeah." Sage was frank with him. "When I left, I gave him two choices. I told him to give me an answer in twenty-four hours."Sage grabbed her phone from th

Jace kept the phone away and looked at Sage. He rasped, "Sage, Finn is…"Sage heard the conversation. She rolled out of bed almost instantly and put on her clothes. She might have been too hasty. When the bottom of her clothes swung to the table, it knocked over the unfinished jade sculpture on the table.Thud! The jade sculpture fell to the floor and chipped at the corner. The boy's head was shattered.Jace and Sage were startled and looked at the unfinished jade sculpture. Both of them froze.Sage frowned a little. Suddenly, she felt nothing but emptiness.She looked around with dazed eyes and felt like there was no place to go.…The storm and rain went on heavily. In the dark, the darkness of the night seemed to continue to no end.Finn was dead.Sage and Jace rushed to the detention center in the rain, only to see Finn's corpse lying flat on a simple stretcher. His body was already cold and stiff. He lay there quietly without any sign of life.Jace escorted Sage in under

Cole had an ugly look on his face. After all, Finn's death happened due to the police officer's neglect of duty. The aftermath with the higher-ups would be a lot of trouble later."Finn is a felon and held in a single cell. The prison officer in charge of him was bribed."Cole explained, "He tried to run away after killing Finn, but we caught him. However, he started foaming at the mouth and died instantly."Cole was both frustrated and unhappy about the mess that night. Cole wanted to find the perpetrator, but he had no idea who was behind this.Sean said coldly, "I think it's Sheila. She wants to kill them and keep their mouths shut forever."Sheila was wanted by the police, but she was able to cause more trouble. Even the police did not expect her to have such a strong influence.Sheila was wanted on a national warrant. The order had been given to every province, city, and district. The police cast a wide net to catch her.If Finn had not died and taken the blame, Jon and Jer

Sage fell ill after dealing with Finn's funeral and sending Nigel and Sean off.It started as a slight cold on a rainy night. Sage thought it was not serious and that she would get better after taking medicine. She did not expect a high fever which went on for days and almost led to pneumonia. Jace was so worried and stayed by Sage's side the whole time.Soon, Freya and Roy also came to Salem City to visit. If the family had not stopped Grandpa and Grandma Yuriel, they would have come to Salem City."So many things have happened in such a short time. It must be hard for her."Freya looked at Sage lying on the bed. She was distressed to see the pale Sage. She also reprimanded her son for not taking care of Sage well.Jace dropped his head and listened to his mother's lecture obediently. He also blamed himself deeply.If he could, he would rather be ill instead of Sage. He would rather suffer himself than let Sage suffer. Primrose defended Jace, "This isn't Jace's fault. He ha

Everyone was rendered speechless by the couple's affectionate exchange. After staring for a while, they felt a little annoyed.Luther was the first to hiss. "Fine, fine. We shouldn't stand in the way and disturb the couple. Time to get some food for the lady. Let's go."After that, everyone exited the room and gave them some space. Before leaving, Sawyer urged Jace to take Sage's temperature again to see if her fever had subsided, which Jace did.Jace first used the electronic thermometer to read Sage's temperature. Sage still had a low fever of 37.1 celsius. Jace was still worried, so he took the mercury thermometer to take her temperature again. He shook the temperature and gave it to Sage. "Here. Put it under your armpit."Sage obediently put it under her armpit and looked at him intently.Jace reached out to Sage's head and felt a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. He used a clean towel to wipe it off."You're starting to sweat. That means the fever is going down. Are you t

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.

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.
