Jim did not answer Jace’s questions, but he added, “So, you’re the ex-husband, Jace.”

Jace was dumbfounded. “Who you calling Jace?” Sage walked over in time and patted Jim’s back, “I’m not close to him,” and turned to Jace and said, “sorry, my kid is over-friendly with everyone.”

Kid? Did she just refer to this young man as a kid?

Jace looked at Sage’s usual unfazed eyes in contrast to this young man’s friendly attitude, he felt an ache in his heart and he looked down, “It’s not a big deal.”

Silence filled the room. Zayne walked over and broke the awkward silence, “Mr. Jace, we have to leave now before it’s getting too late.”

Hunter reminded Sage as well, “Miss Sage, we have to go too.” Jace huffed on his cigarette and let out a slight cough. Zayne immediately understood and looked at Sage with a smile, “Miss Sage, your car has been sent to the maintenance workshop, it’ll take some time to get fixed. We’ll be glad to send you back to the airport.”

Sage kept quiet. Hunter observed

    Jace suddenly opened his mouth, which shocked everyone in the car but Sage. She let out a frown. Jim tilted his head and looked at Jace.“I’m twenty years old.”‘Just twenty years old,’ thought Jace to himself. “You’re pretty young,” Jace said as he looked in Sage’s direction. Sage looked at him and felt mocked as if Jace deemed her relationship with Jim was unusual. Sage started fuming and as she was about to criticize Jace, Jim said calmly, “Not, I think maybe that made you feel old instead, Uncle Jace.”Sage held back her laughter. That was right, Jace was over thirty years old.Jace said lightly, unbothered by Jim’s remarks, “If you call me an uncle, you have to call that lady beside you an aunty. I was her husband, after all.”Sage was not worried about his mockery; she turned to him and yelled, “Uncle!”Jace was speechless. He looked at Sage and felt ridiculous. He was so angry that he laughed, asking, “What did you just call me?”“You’re an uncle, I’m calling you Uncle

    "Jim has no interest in talking with you."With a straight face and a cold tone, Sage added, "Either you shut your mouth, or get down from the car."Jace finally stopped talking.Shortly after, they arrived at the airport. There were two private jets on a huge empty space, and Jace planned to board the same jet as Sage. However, Sage did not give him the chance. Bringing Jim along with him, Sage quickly boarded the plane and closed the door behind them.Staring at the door that was closed as he stood still, Jace was dumbfounded.Zayne took a glimpse at Jace and felt sorry for him."Mister Jace, there's something that I don't know if I should tell you."With a hardened expression, Jace replied, "Forget about it then."Jace thought that if Zayne hesitated whether he should tell, it was probably some bad news.Scratching the tip of his nose, Zayne felt fortunate that he bit his tongue and stopped himself from saying anything, otherwise he would end up being sent transferred to th

    Salem City's airport was crowded with reporters and fans.Some confused passersby asked in confusion, "What's with the big crowd? Is it a top star? Are they shooting a movie here? But I don't see anyone from the production team."After asking around, they got to know that the fans were here to demand an answer and explanation from Sage, the CEO of Norah Entertainment, who changed Dean's role in a movie. A passerby shook his head and murmured, "These people really have got nothing else better to do."Dean's fans were able to get their hands on Sage's schedule. They found that her private jet would arrive at Salem City today, hence they waited at the airport the first thing in the morning. They looked as if they were determined to get an explanation from Sage today.Some of the fans got frustrated and impatient. "She should be here any time now, but where is she? Could it be that she got away?""Impossible! We have people blocking all of the exits. There’s no way that she could ge

    Yoel gloated, "I heard that you were attacked by fans at Ark Town? What the hell did you do to be treated like this?"He then started laughing uncontrollably.Sage felt a surge of irritation and hissed, "Shut your goddamn mouth if you don't want to die!"Sensing that Sage was angered, Yoel quickly cracked a flattering smile on his face and coaxed, "Don't be mad. I was just messing around with you."Sage didn’t bother to talk further with him. She glanced coldly at the man sitting next to her. "Why did you ask him to come?""It isn't that I asked him to come."Jace added, "He begged me."Yoel nodded shamelessly and uttered, "Yeah, I did. It's a rare sight of you being in such a weak and embarrassing situation. I wouldn't have let someone else have this chance of saving you, would I? So here I am. Touched?"Gritting her teeth, Sage seethed, "Yeah. But this doesn't stop me from wanting to punch you."When the car pulled over at a red light, Sage grabbed Yoel by his neck. Gasping

    It was a rare opportunity that Yoel got to drive Sage, hence he insisted to send Sage back to her place but was rejected by Sage.When they arrived in town, Sage's men had been there waiting for her.Sage got out of the car and walked away without saying anything else.Yoel said to her, "Hey, you're leaving just like that?"With her phone in her hand, Sage turned around with a look of annoyance on her face and asked, "What do you want?""Nothing big. But we helped you a big time, didn't we? You should buy us a meal, right Jace?" Yoel tried to get support from Jace."Sounds good." It was rare that Jace took Yoel’s side.Sage thought that those two were feathers of a bird.Sage answered, "It isn't very decent of you to be expecting something in return after helping."Yoel retorted, "Well, it's inhuman to be ungrateful."Yoel studied Sage's expression carefully.Sage did not bother to keep it up with Yoel. "Tonight, it is then. 7 pm at Tasteful Restaurant. I'll buy dinner."Yo

    "Yeah."Sage guessed that Seth purposely showed up at the airport to divert the crowds' attention. She then asked, "You and Suki…"Seth, who was on the other end of the call, chuckled softly, "You'll have to greet her as your sister-in-law the next time we meet."Sage cracked a smile and uttered, "Congratulations, Seth. It's all finally paying off, isn't it?""Indeed."Seth then added, "We didn't plan on announcing it to the public so soon. I know that you have your reasons regarding the arrangements for Dean, but I really couldn't stand people criticizing you."Sage felt warm in her heart but then guilty."Sorry for the trouble."Suki replied instead, "Not at all! It's always a tricky situation whenever it involves fans, but it will all be over soon. Don't be too worried about it."Sage replied, "Mm, thank you, my sister-in-law to be."Seth chuckled again. "There, now, my girlfriend’s embarrassed."After a few more exchanges, Sage ended the call.The fans and reporters who

    Yoel and Jace did not wait long until Sage showed up.She was dressed casually with a black crop top tee and a pair of black short jeans. On her feet, she had a pair of white sneakers. She did even bother to put on the shoes properly. The back of her feet stepped on the shoes, wearing them like a pair of slippers.Her shoulder-length black hair was slightly wet and she wore no make-up. Her fair skin glistened under the street lights. She looked casual yet sophisticated. She also smelled nice.Yoel had his eyes glued on Sage.He never saw her dressed that way. Hence, he was baffled.Yoel thought to himself that Sage looked stunning.Jace, on the other hand, stared at Sage for a while before furrowing his brows together, thinking why Sage lost so much weight.It was as if she was only skin and bones.Sage took a glance at the guys and wondered why the guys did not wait in the car but leaned against the car, waiting for her. It was as if they tried to look cool.Both Jace and Yoe

    Yoel and Jace immediately held onto the handles and put on their seat belts."Does your ex-wife always drive like this?"Leaning near the car window, Yoel was prepared to jump off the car if anything happened.With a complicated look on his face, Jace replied, "This is my first time too."Noticing that both men looked anxious and nervous, Sage pulled into a smirk, turned the steering wheel to the right, and stepped on the accelerator, making a drift turn."Jesus Christ! Sage slow down -"Yoel shrieked as he was caught off guard, and crashed into Jace next to him. ***They managed to arrive safely at the Tasteful Restaurant.Yoel felt his legs go weak when he got out of the car. He concluded that female drivers were too terrifying and not to be messed with.Sage, who looked unbothered, threw the car keys to Yoel, and said, "Let's go!"Holding onto Jace, Yoel walked into the restaurant with Sage leading in front of them. He then said to Jace, "Do you have the feeling that Sag

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.

    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.

    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.
