Jace watched the agate figurine break into two halves on the floor, the body separated from the head.

It felt like someone stabbing his heart.

Sienna casually patted her chest as she was still not recovered from the shock, “It’s all your fault for being so loud…”

She stopped as she took a glance at Jace’s darkened face. She swallowed her words and changed her expression to a pitiful one.

“I’m so sorry Jace, I didn’t mean to drop it.”

“F*ck off!” Jace’s voice was cold, “I don’t like to repeat myself.”

“Jace…” Sienna called his name softly, “Is this expensive? I could just get someone to make a new one for you.”

Jace bent down and picked up the broken pieces. He froze as he heard Sienna’s words.

He straightened up and looked at Sienna gloomily.

His expressions had Sienna move a few steps backward. She thought he was about to hit her. If she was not a woman, Jace would lay his hands on her, and she would be the one in pieces!

“Get someone to make a new one?”

    “Oh my god!”Leah could not believe her eyes as she looked at the living room full of gifts, “Sage, look, there are so many presents for you! Who would’ve done this?”Sage sighed a little. There was no one other than her generous eldest dad.Zamora ordered the helpers to count the number of presents and she said to Sage, “A few trucks parked at our front porch this morning, and said it was all from Mr. Shelby. At first, I wasn’t going to allow them to enter the house, but Mr. K said there was nothing dangerous in it, and cross-checked Mr. Shelby’s handwritten note. “I didn’t realize there were so many of them… There’s more out on the porch, and it could no longer fit in the living room. I’ve asked the staff to move it to the storage for now.” Zamora then passed the handwritten note to Sage.She opened the exquisite envelope and there it was a handwritten note written in mostly Chinese, and “Happy Birthday” written in crooked English like it was by an elementary school kid. It was

    By the time she reached downstairs, Yoel got off the horse. With his arms wide open, Yoel walked over to Sage, wanting to hug her."Happy birthday, Sage darling!"He came to a stop in front of Sage, only to be pushed away by her.Sage could only see the white horse in front of her.It was a beautiful horse. Its fur was clean, soft, and glistening under the sunlight. At the sight of Sage, the horse raised its front hoof, greeting Sage friendly.Sage's eyes lit up as she stroked the horse. With a surprised look on her face, she asked, "Is this a Cremello?"Yoel looked even more surprised than her. Holding up his thumb, he said, "How did you even know?"Leah followed Sage downstairs, too. It was her first time encountering a horse, and she was rather afraid to approach it. "Sage, its eyes…"Hunter said, "It's a Cremello, one of the rarest breeds of horse. Cremello Horses have creamy skin, blue eyes, and rose pink skin."Lean nodded in awe. At the same time, Sage already got onto

    Embarrassedly, Jim nodded while scratching the back of his head."It's my first time getting a gift for a girl. I didn't know what to get, so I asked my aunt and she said that girls usually like bags or accessories. I haven't seen you wearing any necklaces, so I thought of making you one."Sage noticed the nicks on his fingers. Even though he did not have any band-aids on, she saw the cuts and dried-up blood on his fingers.She had experience in carving, hence she knew how the nicks came about on his fingers.Jim quietly hid his hands behind his back. "It's my first time, so I'm not used to it. But it'll get better."Sage stared at Jim silently. She did not know what to say.She owned a lot of accessories and pieces of jewelry.Just the pieces of jewelry she received from her mother were more than enough for her to wear. Plus, the gifts she received from her brothers, adding all up together, would be enough for her to open up her jewelry store.Sage rarely wore them simply beca

See, I was right!"During their drive to the restaurant, Nigel and Luther already bickered with each other the entire time.

    "Goodness Nigel! How could you think of giving Sage medical insurance as a gift? Hahaha…"Luther almost passed out from laughing too hard. He was baffled that Nigel and Sean would think of surprising Sage with such a gift.Luther thought that they were ridiculous yet at the same time adorable.Sage and Nigel stared at Luther in disdain. They looked as if laser beams were shooting out from their eyes.Annoyed that Luther laughed too hard, Nigel kicked him on his back and asked, "Then what did you get for Sage?"Nigel wanted to see what Luther had gifted Sage.With tears welled up in his eyes from too much laughing, Luther wiped away the tears, straightened his back and passed something to Sage.

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.

    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.

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.

    "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.
