A Relentless Pursuit for Love Chapter 156
Jace thought, 'I can’t make her angry again now that she’s opened up a little to me.'He had to practice self-restraint and lie back on the bed.Her biological clock woke her up and as she opened her eyes and turned over. She realized the bed next to her was empty. Jace was not there.She furrowed her brows and got up. A sizzling sound came from the kitchen corner. Sage walked towards the kitchen and saw Jace dressed in his hospital gown frying an egg in the kitchen. He felt her at the door and he turned around immediately. "Awake already?” he asked.Jace gently smiled at her as a drop of oil splattered on him and he jumped. He quickly checked on his fried egg. Jace was not like his usual CEO persona at all. He looked clumsy.Sage sighed and signaled him to step away. It was a wonder he didn’t start a fire. She rolled up her sleeves and took the spatula over from Jace, “I’ll do it.”Jace was ordered to stay aside. He quietly observed as Sage flipped the egg. A perfect sunny-s

Jace answered Yoel with pride, “Sage made chicken noodle soup.” Jace smacked his lips at Yoel. “You had Sage’s cooking?!” Yoel was shocked by what he said and dashed to their table.“Anymore left for me? I’m so hungry… What! not a single bite left for me?” Yoel yelled as he looked at their empty bowls and the room was still filled with the delicious smell of the food, “Make me another bowl, please.”Zayne stood at the door and sighed. 'Why can’t these men grow up?' Sage wiped her mouth and said, “Next time. I’m running out of time already.” She glanced at Jace and said, “I don’t think you can make it to the turf club today. Let’s meet again another day.”“No, no. I can go,” Jace said as he tried to take the bandage off his head. Sage held his wrist and glared at him as she said, “You are not fully healed yet. Just stay here if you don’t want it to be worse.” Jace obediently put down his hand and nodded, “Yes. Whatever you say.”'What is happening?' Yoel stared at them with his

Braxton’s trip to Yusemite wasn’t fruitful. He only bought a few pieces of worthless pebbles. He almost spent all his savings, too, and he fought with Zane all the way home about stuff that happened in the past. Yeva fell into her father’s embrace and cried hysterically as she saw him. She scolded about how Sage bullied and traumatized her while he wasn’t around.Braxton was not interested in their squabble. He comforted his daughter half-heartedly and said, “Your sister did that for your good. I’ll have less to worry about if you are half as smart as her.”Yeva was not pleased with how her father reacted. She felt a great deal of disappointment. She was longing for her father to teach Sage a lesson. In the end, that was all she got from him. ‘Might as well be unhappy together,’ Yeva thought. Then, she told her father about his land being turned into a turf club.Immediately, Braxton was pissed at what happened to his precious land. He almost had a heart attack, and he questione

Everyone stood up and bowed lightly at Sage as they saw her. They greeted, “Good morning, Miss Norah.”Braxton got even angrier. These idiots didn’t even look at him as they saw him, the director of the company!Sage nodded lightly and signaled everyone to take their seats.She walked towards the right hand seat of the conference table, and Hunter fetched her a chair. As Sage sat down, all the board members and voting members instantly pulled their chairs nearer to Sage and turned towards her.They clearly had a preference when it came to who was the real decision-maker of this corporation.“Hello my niece, you finally came." Braxton lowered his body onto the table as he glared at Sage who was seated opposite and said in an unkind voice, “You seem to owe me an explanation on the turf club issue.”“What else do I need to say? You clearly knew it all,” Sage looked up lazily and threw a file across the table.She added, “This document stated more than twenty reasons as to why this

When Sage first returned, she was courteous towards them and compromised to benefit both sides. That time round, she was prepared to turn against Braxton and Zane. Moreover, she was fearless because situation was extremely unfavorable for them.Zane had a guilty conscience. He was a man with no substance; he only knew how to spend money and never learned how to make it. He was never interested in running a business, and all his life he was obsessed with antiquing and nothing else. During the trip to Yusemite, he unintentionally got involved in gambling all his money away. He hadn’t recovered from it financially.Zane was still hoping to sell some Norah group shares to cover his loss. He needed the share price to inflate just a bit more. If Sage were to kick him out now, he would have lost everything.It was not worth it for him.He thought of that, shrunk back to his seat, and kept quiet. Braxton on the other hand felt extremely uneasy.Braxton opened his mouth after two long br

Just as the meeting adjourned, Jace received updates from Norah Group’s meeting in his ward.“Did Sage win?”“Yes, she did,” Zayne reenacted the scene at the Norah Group’s conference room. He added gleefully, “You should’ve seen her performance. Both Braxton and Zane were completely defeated and left speechless. Don’t think they’d ever recover from that.”Jace smiled as he heard how Sage handled it. He knew how sharp-tongued Sage was as he experienced it first-hand.“I think Madam doesn’t need our help handling her uncles anymore. You don’t have to worry a thing about her,” said Zayne.Jace looked down and sighed with mixed emotions. On one hand, he’s glad that Sage had a determined and stern personality, but on the other hand, she would not be needing him anymore as she’d grown more and more independent. He felt helpless.After moments of silence, he ordered, “Get someone to follow Braxton and Zane. After today’s humiliation, they won't be letting go so easily. Make sure they

No one was more loyal than Finn Jansen. This was why Sage’s father took him under his wings, and why Sage transferred him back to her side three years ago. Hunter and Finn, both were her most capable and trustable assistants.However, both of them treated her in different ways.Hunter looked up to her as a boss. They were compatible as working partners, and Hunter was full of potential and capability. He would not stay an assistant forever, and she had plans to promote him in the future.As for Finn, he took her as a sister, or even like a master. He was definitely loyal, no doubt about that. But it could be blind loyalty, and he was often emotional. That was what caused him to leak her secret to Jace.Sage could understand, but she couldn’t forgive him. Therefore, Finn must serve his punishment. “You have not settled your mission and completed your project. I don’t need you here,” said Sage with a cold tone. “I need you to complete the task I gave you, and do your job. Underst

In the evening, Jace finally tasted the fish stew he unreasonably requested from Sage. It was absolutely delicious. The fish stew tasted refreshing and not at all fishy. Jace nodded in satisfaction and asked, “Did your boss make this?”It was Sage’s personal assistant who sent the soup. The young woman answered honestly, “No, this was from the restaurant in the lobby of our office building.”Looking at Jace’s disappointed expression, she added, “Miss Norah said she was too busy, and she had no time to make you the fish stew.”He was speechless. ‘That cold-blooded woman,’ thought he.Jace put down his bowl as the soup didn’t taste as delicious as before. He wiped his mouth and said, “Is she really that busy?”“Yes she is,” said the assistant, “She had a few conferences and didn’t get to have lunch. She’s still in the office right now. Not sure when she’ll be able to get off work.”Jace narrowed his brows.As the night fell, Sage had just ended her video conference. She said goodb

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

"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.
