No, Yoel did not want that.

"Okay. It's my fault. I won't do it again."

Yoel raised both his hands as he walked up to her. "Stop being so cold to me. I almost died in those girls’ hands last night at the Tasteful Restaurant!"

Sage was unfazed. "That can't hurt you. You're a playboy."

"That's not true. I'm quite innocent and pure."

Sage did not know where Yoel found the courage to say that. She reminded him, "You'd better walk your talk."

"It's okay. Your image as the well-behaved wife is long gone, too," Yoel replied without thinking about the consequences.

Sage looked up and glared at him. She retaliated in an icy tone, "Are you here to die? I don't mind sending you a ride."

Yoel felt her indifference. He took a few steps back away from Sage.

He chuckled awkwardly, "Hey, there's no need for that. We're just casually chatting over here."

Sage could not be bothered. "Why are you even here? Say your words or leave."

Yoel touched his nose. "I came here today to ask for your hel

    Sage kept a pair of comfortable slippers in the office.Yoel should have been grateful that she did not wear high heels or oxfords. Otherwise, he would have landed in the hospital."Listen to me! Don't get mad…"Yoel felt that things would end the wrong way, so he quickly corrected himself. "I'm not asking for you to have my babies. I want you to lend me yours!"Sage furrowed her brows. She could not understand Yoel."Borrow my babies? What the hell are you talking about?"Yoel carefully handed her the slippers and tried to put them on for her, but Sage grabbed them and put them on herself."You've mistaken my words…"Yoel carefully thought over his word choice, touched his nose, and continued, "To be honest, I'm attracted to your good genes. I want to have a smart and beautiful child!"Sage crossed her arms and legs. She sat on her chair with a stern face.It was terrifying. "I'd like to ask for your permission."Yoel's voice kept getting softer as Sage glared at him, but

    Jace looked up at Zachary, "Miss Norah?""I meant Sage."Zachary looked at them innocently, "You two are divorced, right? I can't just casually call her Sage, that's inappropriate."Jace was speechless. He felt uncomfortable being reminded of his divorce. Being reminded of it felt like a pinch in his heart.Zachary on the other hand wasn't bothered at all; he was all excited and said, "Miss Norah's new launch got everyone in my class discussing it. No one could get their hands on it no matter how long they queued. Luckily, I asked for a key charm from Sage beforehand."He then continued, "Everyone looked at me in envy when I told them the owner used to be my sister-in-law. It's a pity you two are separated now. If not, I could've gotten more from the back door…"Zachary kept on blabbering on, and on, and on, and every word he said felt like a sword stabbing into Jace's heart. His face darkened as Zachary kept talking."Nonsense!"Jace immediately reprimanded his cousin, "You sh

    "Sheesh… you didn't hold back at all huh."Yoel looked himself in the mirror as he examined his bruises and complained to Sage.Sage had no guilt at all. She even thought she could have hit him harder. "You asked for it, so why are you complaining now?"Sage's heart skipped a beat when she looked at the painting on the wall that was nearly destroyed. It was worth more than Yoel's life.Yoel knew that Sage was a tough nut to crack, but he didn't expect the heir of Fulton worth nothing to Sage Norah. She wouldn't even sell him her eggs.He stuck a band-aid on his bruises. It hurt a lot."I came to you because you have five half-siblings and that you might've been more open-minded about these issues, but I guess I was wrong…"Sage interrupted Yoel coldly, “Who else knew about it except you and Jace?”“I’m not sure, but I don’t think anyone else knew. Please, your files are almost impossible to decrypt for me. Who else could do it?"Yoel took a glance at Sage, and she still looked

    Yoel gulped."I'm not a person with a good temper. I'm not even kind. My brothers aren't kind, either.”Sage turned away and continued, "I'm going to pretend you never said anything today. Everything will be gone once you walk out this door, never to be mentioned again. I don't want to be enemies with you guys, so stop forcing me to retaliate."Yoel froze immediately after looking into her eyes and heeding her words of warning. He knew that she was furious.Meanwhile, at the Yuriel Mansion, Jace walked into the study and stood in front of his grandfather.Elder Yuriel did not want to bother with him and grunted, "Cut the b*llshit and leave after you're done.""Grandpa, do you have any connection with the Jade Master?''Jace went straight to the point. "Do you want to collaborate with her?" Grandpa Yuriel did not seem too surprised."Yes. We have a line of jewelry still stuck in the warehouse that hasn't been launched till today. I was thinking if we could put it on the market,

    Jace was dumbfounded.Was it Sage's birthday soon?Freya was greatly displeased looking at her son's obvious surprise. She raised her thin and long brows and reprimanded her son, "Is this how you get her back? By forgetting her birthday?"Jace's lips were tightly compressed together. She continued scolding him, "Men are all the same. If you love her, you have to take action, not just say it with your mouth! You'll never get her back in a thousand years if you keep this up!"Jace looked down and responded with a hoarse voice, "I know. I'll prepare a birthday gift as soon as possible.""I've already prepared it for you," Freya signaled the maid to hand over a box.Jace took two steps forward and received the box from his mother. He opened it and was instantly blinded by the golden ray in the box. He could barely keep his eyes open.There it was, a brooch of the shape of a daisy, and the core was a cat's eye emerald. It even shone ever so brightly in its place.Jace's pupils const

    Sage suddenly remembered she promised Jim that she would have a taste test with his cooking today.She looked at the time and said, "Let's go, get the car around.""Right away, Miss Sage."It was the rainy season in Salem City, so the air was humid. It started pouring heavily on the way to Tasteful Restaurant. The raindrops pitter-pattered on the car.The car slowed down as they reached Bridge Lane. People were hurriedly running around and it was chaotic.Sage hated rainy days. She never got out to play whenever it rained, and her mother always made her stay in the room. She was only allowed to practice the piano or read educational books that were accompanied by the sounds of rain and wind.She suddenly missed those days. She now no longer had anyone forcing her to do anything.'Those were the good old days,' she thought to herself.Sage suddenly felt stuffy in the car as she thought about many things. She rolled down the window and let the rain seep in. Her face was moistened

    Jim could not believe that he had been exposed by Sage. He felt embarrassed."You did something out of kindness. Why are you so embarrassed by it?" Sage teased him as she glanced at his soaked shirt, "Go get changed before you get ill."Jim touched his shirt and said nonchalantly, "It's fine, it'll dry up in a minute."Sage kept quiet. Meanwhile, Hunter walked in with two shopping bags, "Miss Sage, I've got the clothes."Sage signaled a sign, and Hunter immediately stuffed the bags into Jim's arms, "Miss Sage ordered these for you. It should fit you perfectly, go try it on."Jim looked at the clothes in the bags and said surprisingly, "Miss Sage?"Sage said lightly, "Go get changed quickly. It’s time to get to work.""How much was it? I'll transfer it back to you." Right when Jim was about to take out his phone, he found another lollipop in his pocket.Sage laughed again as she looked at the lollipop. She grabbed it from his hands and said, "I'll take this in exchange for the c

    Sage went straight from the office to Tasteful Restaurant. She didn’t get the chance to remove her makeup. Her eyeshadow, rose-colored hair, and red lips looked sharp and gorgeous.Sage’s outfit was rather casual today. She had a red sleeveless top on, paired with navy trousers and black stilettos. She had an incredible figure. Her tiny waist gave her an hourglass figure, and her skin was fair and bright. It certainly attracted others’ attention.“Oh my gosh, is this girl a waitress? I’ll be damned.”“No, she can’t be. Have you ever seen such a pretty girl as a waitress? She’s probably either the restaurant owner or the owner’s daughter.”“Oh, how I wished I had her figure! She’s tall and slim. Not too slim! Look at her sleek shoulders and those arms! Perfecto!”All the praises were from girls, and as for the boys, they couldn’t take their eyes off her.Myles lifted the curtains and got a shock.“Oh my gosh, why are they taking photos of her?”Jim was extremely busy and focus

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.

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..." 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." Sage looked at him.Jace though
