A Relentless Pursuit for Love Chapter 139
It had been years since Jace drove. He was driving as slow as a snail.Sage did not make a sound, and she did not hurry him up. She knew how tough it was to drive once again for someone who had been in a car accident.After her parent’s deathly car accident, and not long after, Jace the man she loved so much was also involved in another car accident, Sage was so traumatized by cars that she swore off driving for a while.She had witnessed every step of Jace’s recovery after the accident. From only being able to lie down to sitting, kneeling, and finally standing. Every step was filled with buckets of blood, sweat, and tears.The tears of his loved ones, that was.She’d never seen Jace cry even when he was experiencing immense pain after surgeries. He must have been swallowing his tears to the heart.“Don’t mind me driving slowly. I got to get used to it again,” Jace broke the silence in the car.Sage said lightly after hearing his words and said, “No rush. Just take your time.”

“I’ve brought you the porcelain plates.” Jace fulfilled his end of the promise and pass the plates to Sage. Sage gleefully accepted the plates. She opened up the box, and carefully wiped her hands with wet wipes. She then daintily picked up a plate in her hands and observed it.People could tell if someone was truly passionate about antiquing by looking at their gesticulations.Under the warm lights, Jace asked Sage gently, “You like it that much?”Sage answered with her eyes glued to the plates, “Obviously.”Sage tried to keep her excitement down about these little porcelain plates back then at the auction. She wanted to bring these plates home so badly. Never did she know Jace was going to bid the plates, too.She knew Jace was an obsessed antiquer. Wealthy people loved collecting antiques, which was commonly known, but she didn’t know he was such an avid antiquer.She also knew if they bid against each other, they would ruin the market rate for these plates and the media woul

Sage looked at Jace who had a shocked expression on his face, and said calmly, “Mr. Yuriel, please don’t lay it bare.”‘That is her painting!‘What else do I not know about Sage?’ Jace thought shockingly.Jace tried to suppress his astonishment and curiosity as Sage stared at him silently. Sage was a woman full of surprises. He might look stupid if he continued to be in shock as he learned new things about her.This was no normal painting. It was replica art, and it was not something one would tell everybody about.Sage knew Jace was full of questions. Jace looked lovingly at the painting and touched it carefully as though it was fragile to touch; Sage felt that he looked rather funny.Sage opened her mouth, “It was a painting I did in my childhood. It was about 14 years old. I went to an art gallery with my father. I fell in love with Mr. Dunford’s poetry. To me, this poetry signifies come what may. We don’t have to be afraid even we are faced with the worst situations in life.”

Myles Damian’s cooking was so excellent that even if it was just some common home dishes, he was able to make it exquisite and extremely mouth-watering.“Enjoy your meal.”Sage and Jace sat across from each other. They talked about the turf club project as they ate. Both of them were of a few words, but they were hitting the nail on the head. Just as he started speaking, she would have already known what he meant. Their tacit was no match.Both of them were happy and the atmosphere was rather harmonious. It was like two old friends meeting up.Sage suddenly recalled something Yoel said to her, “You can still stay friends even if the marriage didn’t work out.”Her pupils contracted, eyes on Jace. It was obvious that he put an effort into putting together his outfit today. Even though Jace was always seen wearing formal suits, the sage green suit with juniper-colored cufflinks matched with a bright red tie was not his usual style. He looked almost Yuppie.Jace was extremely charism

Even though Jace had gotten used to Sage's coldness, he still could not bear with her use of harsh words.“Meeting a lady?”Jace was all confused and asked, “Me?”Sage leaned back and looked up with that cold, distant eyes again. “Nothing to be ashamed of. It’s pretty common to have friends with benefits. But being a two-timer? Bit unethical, don’t you think?”'Old habits die hard. If he can still be involved with Sienna when they were still married, there’s nothing he wouldn’t do now that they’re divorced.''One disloyal episode and you’re out. The rule applies to everyone, including friends, employees, or even ex-husbands.'Jace thought long and hard about who she was talking about and finally realized who the pretty woman was; he asked “You mean, Suki West?”“Ah, so that was Suki West. She’s gorgeous. I thought you only liked innocent-looking girls like Sienna. You have a pretty wide range when it comes to girls,” said Sage lightly.Jace’s lips tightened. He looked solemn.

Sage was stunned.She said as Jace stared intently at her, “I’m just saying. You could make your arrangement, Mr. Yuriel. It’s getting late. I’ll see you soon.”Sage got into the car and left.Jace watched her car go out of sight. He looked down and let out a bitter smile.'What am I fantasizing about? Am I fantasizing about her telling me that she hopes I'd stay back and go to the festivals with her? If she were to say it, I'd surely stay back.''But, she hates me so much now that she would feel terrible even to take a look at me.''Then why would I appear before her and make her apalled?'“Just get in the car, Mr. Yuriel.” Zayne waited for him to get in. He couldn’t help but hurry Jace as he saw him frozen staring into the nothingness for too long.Zayne wanted to tell him to give up and stop making both sides suffer anymore.Jace waved his hands and said to Zayne, “Let me take a walk around. I’m not getting in the car.”Salem City was an ancient city full of colonial build

Sage immediately told her driver to turn back to Bridge Lane.She had Zayne stay on the phone so she could secure their location. Sage knew Salem City inside-out. She found them not long after Zayne informed her of the approximate location. She brought Hunter and the others to rush over, too.Jace was lying on the floor with blood all over when she found them. Blood ran down his face, and his cheeks were badly bruised.Upon seeing Jace, Sage’s felt a sharp tug on her heart, and her pupils constricted.She couldn’t believe Jace was so seriously wounded. 'Who has the right mind to do this to him?!'“Madam, you’re here!”Zayne’s face looked pale as he held Jace in his arms frozen. Zayne was so worried that he could hurt Jace further and he wouldn't be able to forgive himself!He had already called for an ambulance and the cops, but Sage managed to arrive earlier.Sage rushed towards Jace, and her face clouded over as he asked. “Who did this?!” “We don’t know,” Zayne shook his he

Jace was sent into the operating theatre for further examinations. Sage’s heart skipped a beat as his hands let go of her.She stood in front of the theatre momentarily as Yoel rushed to the hospital. Breathlessly, he asked, “How is he?”“He’s in there now,” Sage pointed at the theatre entrance.Yoel frowned deep and asked, “What happened? Why did he got beaten up out of nowhere? Did you manage to find out who did this?”Sage couldn’t be bothered to answer his multiple questions. Zayne answered and said the police came and collected evidence from the crime scene. They are investigating it and they asked if Jace had made any enemies lately.“We just came to Nadeem City not long ago. We are not even familiar with this place yet, not to mention making enemies.” Zayne said as he looked at Sage, and he mumbled, “Well, there is Mrs. Sage…”Sage gave Zayne a sideways glance and asked him, “You think I did it?”Zayne waved his hands repeatedly and said, “No, I don’t mean that.”Yoel kn

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. 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..."
