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
Luther wiped off the cake on his face and held on to his tummy that was hurt from laughing too much."Your singing is life-threatening."Sage lifted the crossbow gifted by Kane. Luther immediately felt fear and hid behind Seth.Nigel sighed and said to his sister, "You've always been a multitalented person. You're smart and a fast learner. Any teacher would want you to be their apprentice in a heartbeat. How come you refused to learn singing and dancing? I'll never know."Sage was unbothered. "I can't be good at everything. God is fair. It's not like I sing and dance for a living. Why should I learn to do that?""You're still really bad at singing!" Nigel was direct and brutal.Sage aimed the crossbow at Nigel. He immediately kept his mouth shut and continued eating the cake.Seth comforted his sister. "It's okay, Sage. I know many autotune specialists. Just let me know if you ever want to record an album. I'll recommend a few to you."Sage shot two white feathered bows in Seth
