Sage was rendered speechless. Fortunately, Jace managed to catch Sage in time and steadied her. When he saw Primrose ready to kick Sage, he rushed to hold Sage to escape.

...

Meanwhile, Shanie and Peter got into the black car. Shanie sat in the back seat and kept staring at Peter for a long time.

Anyone would have been furious if someone else stared at them for so long. However, Peter was determined and firm enough. He allowed her to continue staring at him like this without a word. He did not say anything either.

At last, Shanie could not resist and asked, "Did you and Missus Norah know each other before?"

She had asked the question. He answered, "No."

"I don't believe it," Shanie answered quickly and frowned.

"Aunt Primrose was looking at you with such a strange look. She probably knows you. She said you look like her distant cousin. Could you two be distant relatives? Did you perhaps meet her as a child?"

'When I was young…' Peter looked back to his memories with nostalgia a

    This conversation sounded very familiar. The same talk would happen every few years."Wow. You're really busy with your business. You probably should quit being Missus Hill and work as a matchmaker instead. I'm sure you'll do well at it." Shanie sneered coldly."Stop yapping! If you don't come back, we'll arrange the marriage for you."The caller's attitude was brutal, leaving the conversation with no room for discussion.The caller was arrogant and refused to budge.Shanie's face turned cold. "Sure. If the other party doesn't mind me cheating on him daily, go ahead. Anyway, the marriage license means nothing to me. I've already been married thrice. What's the big deal with divorcing thrice again? If you push it further, I'll let the other party marry a corpse.Missus Hill said coldly, "You don't have to threaten me. If you can, you can die. You have to listen to us as long as you're alive!""You..." Shanie shook in anger. She was about to lose her temper and curse profanity.P

    Sage jumped out of his arms and said, "If my mom doesn't want to talk about it, no one can force her to say it. She won't tell us, but she'll tell my dad. As long as my dad knows it, it's fine. When it's time to let us know, they'll tell us. They know what they're doing. Don't worry."After changing clothes and going out of the room, Sage saw that her parents' door was still closed. There was no movement at all.Sage was tempted to go over and eavesdrop, but she held back.She went over and knocked on Tim's door. A low and deep voice came from inside, "Come in."She pushed open the door and saw Tim busy with work at the desk. Tim was still dressed in a white shirt and black pants in the hot summer. He sat there and worked meticulously.Sage interrupted him anyway. "Hey. Tim. I'm going to dine out with Jace. We're going to have crispy fried chicken. Do you want to come?"She invited him along."No," Tim refused without looking up. He also snickered, "It's unhealthy."Sage pouted

    Sage and Jace went to a shopping mall in the city center to look for a famous fried chicken restaurant. The restaurant has a moderate size seating layout. It occupied two floors. The first floor was already full of diners, so Sage and Jace went to the second floor.Logan and the rest of the bodyguards followed behind them and sat at a table not far away from Sage and Jace. They were in their casual outfits.Jace took out his phone to scan the code for the menu and discussed what to order. They also took the liberty to order food for the bodyguards.Most of the diners in the restaurant were either young adults or families with children. Of course, there were also couples who vacant the restaurant too. The atmosphere of the restaurant was noisy, with people chattering everywhere.Due to her sharp ears, Sage heard a familiar voice from the noisy environment."Little missy, slow down. Can you leave some for me?"She cocked her head up and followed the voice. There was a young couple

    "And you lost to him?" Sage looked at Melody with surprise and regretted that Melody did not live up to her expectations.Melody opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Yoel cut her off. "What do you mean that's all? Don't you look down at the game? Not everyone could land it upright. Melody can't do it. However, I land every single try. The others call me the Bottle Flipping King."Jace looked at him with contempt. "That's enough. Don't go too far with this. Or else you are going to regret it."Melody was someone who would boost other people's morale. She nodded her head seriously and said, "Aunt Sage. It's really very difficult. I never landed it upright once."This time, Sage was lost for words.Coincidentally, Sage and Jace's order was served. Yoel saw their huge order and quickly said, "You have to pay for your own order. Melody is only responsible for paying for my food and hers."Jace got annoyed and kicked him. "Are you a man? Are you seriously going to let a gi

    Sage did it so quickly without any extra movements. Before the diners could see how it was done, she had already succeeded.Jace and Melody were the closest people to Sage. After seeing how Sage did it, their eyes widened, and they clapped their hands. The bodyguards also cheered for her.Those diners thought it was easy when they saw Sage successfully land the water bottle upright. They started to challenge themselves and threw the bottle in the air to attempt it. However, no one landed their water bottles upright. It was easier to look than to do it.Melody gave Yoel a look while feeling proud of Sage. "I told you Aunt Sage is very good at games."Yoel replied, "It's just beginner's luck. Again!"He picked up another water bottle from the table and weighed it with his hand. Then he bent down a little by squatting and flipped the water bottle into the air. Once again, the water bottle landed upright on the ground."Oh, yes!" He clenched his fist and made a winning gesture as if

    The diners cheered and rooted happily in the restaurant. Melody looked at the motivated and energetic Yoel and thought, 'He's really a womanizer. Attracting their attention everywhere he goes day and night.'Suddenly, she remembered what her old man had told her."You have to be prepared to avoid another woman eyeing him if you really fall in love with such a womanizer. Don't think that he will give up the entire forest because of you. It's better to put your hope in winning the lottery than expect he will change into a better man. Even if you don't mind sharing him with another woman, you still need to prepare yourself. You can get married and have kids with him. But who knows, one day, there will be a woman at the doorsteps with a kid saying your husband is her kid's father. Then your kid will have to share his father with another kid from a different mother."Sadness appeared in Melody's heart. She did not understand why she would fall in love with him when there were so many oth

    Yoel thought deeply about what Sage said.Without waiting for his reply, Sage looked at Jace and said, "Call Cole and ask if he is free to meet up."Jace knew what Sage was up to. He responded and gave Cole a call.Yoel immediately said, "Hey! I know I lost the bet, but I never said I'm going to treat Cole to a fancy dinner."He looked like a scrooge, not willing to let other people take advantage of him. As soon as he finished talking, Cole's voice came from the phone. He howled out, "Damn you! Are you really my friend? What's wrong with treating me to dinner?"Yoel ignored Cole and asked Sage, "Why don't we rain check? I promise I will treat you one day."Sage gazed at him with her full attention. She knew when Yoel said he wanted to treat them to dinner, he actually wanted to bring Melody out for dinner.Cole continued to act berserkly on the phone, "What do you mean rain check? What's wrong with me joining the dinner? It's been a long time since I had a fancy dinner. I don't

    Yoel was angry at Cole and kicked him under the table. Cole could not endure Yoel's attack and kicked him back immediately.Jace called a halt when they were about to get into a fight."Come on. You should stop fighting. My dearest Sage is looking. You don't mind being embarrassed, but I do."The words hit home. Yoel and Cole turned and chided Jace in unison, "What's the big deal?"Jace almost got hit by them. He put his arm on his hand to block their attack and then responded with a serious face, "Well, it's great."Yoel and Cole snorted in unison. "Bah!"Jace was lost for words while Sage made a silent laugh.They were distracted by a short argument and finally got down to business.Sage called Cole over to ask about Sheila's situation.Cole said, "We haven't found her yet, but we know she was smuggled out of the country. We've launched a detailed investigation of her and found out about her involvement in several lawsuits involving death. We've contacted the police in Harbo

    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.

    "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.

    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.

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."
