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
