Jace was labeled and identified as one of Sage's brothers' biggest enemies. Yoel thought that Jace stood no chance at all.

Yoel wondered if Jace knew it was Sage's birthday today.

As his rival, Yoel had no plans of informing him.

Jace just got off a flight. Getting into a car, he headed straight to Bridge Lane.

He was once again back in Salem City. At the moment, he had mixed feelings. It was as if every time he came, there would be some changes to his relationship with Sage.

Just as her identity changed, the distance between the both of them increased little by little.

The first time he came, he found that his gentle and loving ex-wife from the countryside was the lady of the Norah family, one of the wealthiest families in Salem City.

He demanded answers from her at Skye Hotel, to which she replied coldly, "Sir, do I know you?"

The second time he came, he wanted to work with her on the racecourse project.

When he finally got to meet her at the Norah Group, she stared at hi

    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

    Standing in front of the cooking stove, she looked like a female warrior who was about to go to the battlefield. The ladle in her hand suddenly looked like a battle sword. She looked somewhat charismatic and intimidating.Dean and Jim, on the other hand, acted as Sage's sidekicks and did as they were told.The food materials were prepared beforehand, hence Sage only had to cook them. By the time all the dishes were ready, her brothers arrived one by one.The youngest among her brothers, Luther arrived first. He had gone to the airport to pick up Nigel Jett. He exclaimed at the delicious smell. "Damn, it smells amazing!"Turning his head to look at Nigel, he said, "Nigel, what did I say? I told you that Sage was going to cook, didn't I? See, I was right!"During their drive to the restaurant, Nigel and Luther already bickered with each other the entire time. Just when Nigel was about to say something, he saw Sage walking out of the kitchen. Beaming, he opened his arms and said, "Co

    "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. "Here, this is from my dad. It's some pocket money. Look carefully, I didn't keep any to myself."Who would reject the idea of receiving money? Even Sage was delighted to receive money. "Give my thanks to your dad!""Now, come and see what I've got for you."Patting Sage's head, Luther t

    Jace thought of seeing Sage first.However, Sage was not at Rosa Garden.Zamora supervised the maids in putting away the gift boxes in the storage room. The front yard was filled with all sorts of gifts, and the maids were all over the place, trying to tidy up.Zamora then noticed a familiar black car pulled over by the entrance. Walking over to the car, she greeted, "Sir, can I help you with anything?"Jace had his eyes fixed on the yard that was filled with heaps of gift boxes. His dark eyes clouded.With a low voice, he replied, "I'm here to see Sage Norah."Staring at him, Zamora felt a little displeased as she did not like the fact that Jace addressed Sage with her full name. She believed that someone as respectable as Sage should be addressed more politely."My apologies, Sir. Ma'am is not in at the moment. If you wish to see her, perhaps you might want to give her a call, or maybe visit another day? Please forgive me for being unable to let you in."She then ordered the

    The night skies were clouded that night, and not a star could be seen.The wind blew strongly, and it was forecasted that there would be a thunderstorm.Halfway through their drive to Bridge Lane, the rain started falling.Gauging the traffic, Zayne then said to Jace who sat in the backseat and was silent throughout their drive, "Mr. Yuriel, there’s road construction going on in front and it’s causing heavy traffic. Should we take the side road?"Jace recalled the route that Sage took and immediately ordered the driver to change to the shortcut.The route was not shown on the GPS, and Jace had to give directions by memory.The shortcut was so rocky and bumpy that the car jolted a lot. With one hand holding onto the car seat and the other hand holding the porcelains, Jace tightened his grip slightly and frowned.Zayne took a glimpse at Jace's hand, and his face went pale immediately. "Mr. Yuriel, your hand is bleeding!"He quickly reached for the first-aid box and plastered a ba

    "I must thank Aunt Florence," Sage nodded and added, "and Xavier too!"She then flashed a bright smile at Seth, "Thank you, Seth. You're the best!"Her words immediately triggered Nigel and Luther. "Eh, what about us? Don't you like our presents?""Exactly!"When it came to situations like that, Nigel and Luther were oddly in the same boat."Yes yes, of course, you guys are the best too." Not wanting to offend any of them, Sage immediately corrected herself.Sage could only surrender as she received gifts from them after all.Seth chuckled and quickly tried to smooth things over. "The costume is tailored according to your body measurements. Go change into it. I'll have Eleanor help you."Eleanor was Seth's assistant and she used to work in the fashion industry.Shortly after, Sage walked out of the changing room.The moment she showed up, everyone in the room had their eyes glued to her. Seth looked pleasantly surprised whereas Nigel and Luther were dazzled and stunned by her

    Even though Sage found that Kane's present was a little out of the place, Sage was quite fond of the crossbow.Kane was always a fan for weapons and tools. When Sage just turned five and was able to hold things properly in her hands, Kane put a gun in her hand at her birthday party.Sage recalled that at that moment; the air grew cold immediately.Now that twenty years passed, Kane still gave her tools as gifts. However, the crossbow was much more useful than being given a gun."Don't underestimate this crossbow. It looks like a slingshot, but it works like a gun."Kane then started to teach Sage how to use the crossbow. "You just have to press here. If you want to prank people, you can put toothpicks in here; but if someone angers or annoys you, you can put needles in here. It can pierce through their flesh perfectly."Kane and Sage were fumbling with the crossbow, whereas the rest of the gang slowly moved away as they did not want to be caught in the crossfire.Sage quickly un

    Nigel and Luther glanced at each other and started nudging their sister. "Sage, since you're in a costume, you should perform."Sage immediately rejected their idea. "No way! I can't sing or dance. What do you want me to do? Magic?"Kane replied, "You could."Sage threw a handful of peanuts in his direction in response. "Why don't you perform!"Nigel started complimenting his sister. "What do you mean you don't sing? You sing like a melodious lark. It's true! Even Sean says you have a unique voice. No one sings like you do."Luther added, "Sage can dance, too. There were plenty of men who couldn't take their eyes off her when she danced that time at Skye Hotel."Sage was unbothered by their compliments. "That was rave dancing! It's not the same as proper dancing.""It's all the same to us."Nigel and Luther refused to give up on pestering their sister to at least perform something. She was not allowed to end the night before doing so.Sage could not stand them anymore and thre

    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. Jace did not want to wake her up, so he did not carry her to the bathroom and bathe her. Instead, he wet the towel with hot water to

    "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
