A Relentless Pursuit for Love Chapter 19
Yoel laughed as he walked toward Jace. He placed his arms around Jace's shoulders as he said, "Are you sure that she is that dull and tame ex-wife of yours? And it looks like you, her ex-husband, is only worth fifty cents." Clenching the fifty-cent coin tightly, Jace gritted his teeth. The veins in his forehead popped. Yoel went out cluelessly, "Since you guys are divorced, you no longer have anything to do with one another, right? So, you won't mind me making a move, right? I must say that that feisty woman is just my type…"Before Yoel could even finish his sentence, Jace landed a punch on his face and hissed, "Get lost!"'Pursue her? Yoel that idiot better not think about it,' cursed Jace under his breath.…The moment she got into the car, Sage lost her cool.She reached for her phone and called Luther. "Luther, what is Jace doing at Skye Hotel?""What did you say?" cried out Luther who was sitting in front of his laptop. Startled, he asked, "Jace Yuriel is in Salem City?

In the mirror of the bathroom in his suite, Yoel checked his bruised lips and gasped in pain. "We haven't seen each other in such a long time, and you punched me in the face the moment we finally got to meet again?" Yoel glared resentfully at the man sitting on the sofa. The expression of Jace's face was as cold as ice. Jace said nothing as he thought about Sage and how she had looked. The scene flashed through his head, second by second, as her words rang through his ears. 'Is that confident and charismatic woman with her sarcasm and indifference really Sage Luz?'Jace had his doubts.Sitting across Jace, Yoel lit a cigarette and said, "How unlucky can I get? Last night, I got slapped by your girl, and today you punched me in the face. I swear that the both of you are a match made in heaven. You're both violent and aggressive. So, tell me, why the sudden divorce?" Jace looked up; he was utterly cold when he said, "Ex-wife."He had corrected Yoel's misaddress.Yoel nearly

The man had only gotten greasier after three years.Upon seeing Julian walking toward her, Sage frowned and growled, "Stay away from me."After being rejected by Sage again, Julian's face finally crumbled.He was, after all, the CEO of the Jefferson Group, and he had plenty of women flinging themselves at him. It was only Sage Norah who treated him dismissively. Julian had grown bored of women like Yeva who were easily tamed. Now, he wanted a taste of women like Sage— hard to tame. His forehead was still wrapped in bandages from the injury he had suffered when Sage had thrown the rock at him at Rosa Garden. It was obvious by how Julian threw himself at her that he had forgotten how he had been attacked.Standing just three steps away from where Sage was, Julian studied her appealing and pleasing face. All he could think about was how gorgeous Sage was.The Jeffersons and the Norahs were family friends, and both Sage and Julian had known each other since they were young and cou

Sage was unfazed by Julian's confession. Instead, when he grabbed her hands, she frowned and quickly pulled them back. Trying her best not to be overwhelmed by her disgust for Julian, Sage said expressionlessly, "If you knew that Yeva had been up to no good, why had you not reported her to the police?" Looking flustered, Julian quickly defended himself. "She tricked me with her acting. I had really thought that you had fallen off a cliff accidentally. You don't know how devastated I was when I heard of your "death". I had even been diagnosed with depression and had to go for therapy. It was then that Yeva had taken advantage of the situation. She had come to me when I was miserable and lonely. She had even tricked me into sleeping with her—" Before he could finish his sentence, the timer rang, startling him.Sage reached for her phone and turned off the alarm before saying, "Time's up, you can go now."Julian was stupefied.He did not expect Sage to be unaffected by his explan

Notified of Jace's departure, Sage felt relieved yet, for some peculiar reason, sad at the same time. She requested a copy of the surveillance footage of the lobby. There, she saw how Jace's usually cold and solemn demeanor cracked with anger. "I'm so proud that I am able to make him this angry," she said as she smirked. Sage knew that Jace, a specially privileged person who lived an unrealistic life, had never been rejected, and now, it was Sage who had refused him. She had been the person who had been tolerating his countenance, and now, she was the one to give him a taste of his own medicine. 'Phew! This actually feels sort of nice,' Sage thought to herself.Watching Jace indignantly leave through the main entrance, she scoffed. 'This is what you deserve for divorcing me and marrying that witch,' she thought to herself.Although Finn was her trusted subordinate, he was unaware of Sage's whereabouts during the three years she was missing. He was filled with suspicion as he

Hearing Yoel gloat, Jace had a sudden urge to end the call.However, he still needed a favor from Yoel. Holding back, he asked, "How much do you know about Sage Norah?""I don't know much about her. To be exact, I know just as much as you do. She is the eldest daughter of the Norahs, and she is also the CEO of the Norah Group. That is all I know."Putting on the suit that Sage had given him as compensation, Yoel observed himself in the mirror. He smirked and added, "Oh, and one more thing, your ex-wife has good taste."Jace misunderstood. He thought that Yuriel was referring to Sage's choice in a husband, and he felt slightly better for some reason. Clearing his throat, he added, "Help me to look into it.""Look into who? Sage Norah?" asked Yoel.With Jace's soft 'yes', Yoel chuckled, "Bro, listen. As your friend and colleague of many years, I have to remind you that no matter who Sage Norah is, she and you are divorced. Plus, aren't you getting married soon? Why are you still th

Sage had not been lying when she said that she had been really busy.After returning to Salem City, Sage had been drowning in her work as well as business gatherings. With work as an excuse, Sage had turned down invitations from the brothers of the Bennett family. She had disappointed them. Tonight, she had to attend yet another business gathering.The streets gradually began to glow with lights. Salem City was always the liveliest and busiest at night. The streets were filled with couples leaning against each other as they held hands, which made the city glow with romance. Leaning into the car seat, Sage wound down the window and stared quietly at the outside world.A couple was sharing food at a food truck by the roadside. She fed her man, and he kissed her. She smiled sweetly at him, and then, hand in hand, they moved on to the next food truck. Sage thought that what they had was simple yet sweet. Such life was all she had wanted.Tomorrow would be his wedding. Sage had on

Sage had no intention of engaging in endless small talk with a stranger. "I wonder what type of cooperation you expect when you said that you would like to form a partnership with me?" she said, cutting straight to the chase."I'm interested in that piece of land in the northern suburbs of Salem City," said Yoel, who also kept it short and simple. He did not beat around the bush."Oh, really?"Sage studied Yoel who was dressed in a V-shaped collared suit, and looked at her with an air of playfulness. She had a feeling that Yoel was here to impress her, rather than to discuss work.With nothing to hide, Yoel sat still, allowing Sage to study him, and he even flirted with her a little. "So, what do you think? I look quite handsome in this suit, don't I?" The words flowed out of him so easily that he sounded quite narcissistic. Sage was not the type to lie, so she replied honestly, "Not bad." "The main point here is the person who chose the suit has good taste," he said. Sage

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.

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

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..."
