Wayne asked, "What about now?"

"I've seen enough now to know," Sage responded.

Wayne laughed audibly, "You're just like your father when he was young, smart, capable, with lots of temper."

"Huh? Really? I thought dad had a pretty good temper," Sage said genuinely.

Braxton and Zane did what they did to Sawyer, and yet he did nothing in return. If it were Sage, she would not have tolerated it.

"That's because of your mother."

Wayne said, "Your father was a capable man, and so was your mother. When they're together, your mother managed to subdue him."

Sage listened quietly. She liked hearing stories about her parents.

Wayne's version of her parents versus Sage's version of them was different because of their different identities to either person.

Wayne mentioned her father and mother leaving the house and starting their own business when Sage asked, "When father ran away from home to Salem City, was that mother's idea?"

"Yes, but not entirely," Wayne answered.

Wayne was reminde

    Uh…Sage chuckled and said, "My father…was pretty straightforward, huh?"Wayne responded, "Not just that, he was a thoughtless boy. At that time, I thought the boy would grow up to be successful, seeing as how odd he was, so I brought him home with me. I told your uncles that he was my son from another woman and had them treat him like their own big brother, and they did. Who knew that they'd bully him behind my back. However, your father was not someone that would tolerate bullies. He fought back and won."Sage said straightforwardly, "But they held grudges against him."Just like Yeva did.All Yeva had in her heart were grudges throughout the year.Wayne said calmly, "Yeah… not long after your father moved in, I started teaching Braxton and Zane carving. Both of them didn't like how it hurt their hands and never took it seriously. Your father, on the other hand, came to me by himself and told me he wanted to learn. I gave him a piece of white jade and a carving knife, and he st

    "I'm begging you!""Tragic!""FML!""You guys are trying to kill me so you could take over my title of Miss Jerffeson!"…"I'm going to kill someone!"Both of Yeva's front teeth had fallen. She finally got it filled, but she was still speaking with a slight lisp, which was why she refused to talk too loudly. Her stomach had been so painful from the repressed anger.Never mind the fact that she became a laughingstock all over the internet; what pissed her off the most was how Julian brought Queenie back to the Jefferson's Residence right after the wedding, just so he could take care of her.On top of that, Wilson Jefferson and his wife agreed to it as well!They even asked for Yeva to be nicer to Queenie, promising that they would only keep the child when it was born.Which meant that Yeva had not even gotten the newly-wed wealthy madam treatment before she became a stepmother!How atrocious!Braxton also agreed that they went overboard. He wanted to talk some sense into the

    It had been a few days since Wayne stayed in Rosa Garden. In the end, he still wanted to leave."I'm really not used to staying in a big house, nor do I enjoy being taken care of by other people. I prefer staying alone. Come on, Sage, please let me leave." Wayne really tried hard to pursue his eldest granddaughter by talking like a little child asking for candy.As Hunter and Leah heard Wayne asking to leave again, none of them responded at the dinner table. Both of them look at Sage.This time around, Sage did not reject Wayne's request directly. "It's alright if you don't want to stay in Rosa Garden. I bought a small house near Pheonix Vintage Market. Once it is ready, you can stay there."'Pheonix Vintage Market!' Wayne's eyes widened. The suggestion hit his sweet spot, and it was exactly where he was planning to move in to."That… works too." Wayne did not reject it. "But I need to go to Nadeem City soon. I have set an appointment with an old pal that I had not met for a long

    Sage narrowed her eyes. "Are you two dating now?"Leah and Hunter were stunned and looked up at the same time!…"I'd checked, and Mister Wayne is living in Rosa Garden now," Yoel told Jace the latest information he received. After that, he took a puff from his cigarettes and continued, "Hey, do you think you need to reconsider it over again?"Jace had been pulling the all-nighter last night. There was a ring of black circles under his eyes. He, too, was smoking to re-energize. He looked at Yoel through the smoke and said with a hoarse voice, "Reconsider what?""That you are going to invite Grandpa Wayne to help Yuriel Jewel. Do you really think Sage will agree with it?"Jace was Yoel's brother from a different mother, so he did not want to see Jace pass away at such a young age. Yoel tried to talk Jace out of it. "You should know how much Sage protects her family. She would just ignore you if you tried to set her up. However, if you try to trick her grandpa, she will definitely

    Jace looked at Wayne's energetic face and clear and illuminating eyes. He spoke very slowly, "Yuriel, Jace Yuriel."He did not have the intention to hide his true identity. He was there for a purpose, and eventually, he would have to tell Wayne about his identity, so hiding it did not make sense.Upon hearing the last name, Wayne slowly narrowed his eyes and said, "You are Simon Yuriel's grandson?"Jace nodded his head and answered, "Yes. To be exact, his daughter's son."Wayne raised his eyebrow and confirmed, "Freya's son?""Yes." Jace replied, "Freya Yuriel is my mother."The brightness in Wayne's eye increased and he smiled. "No wonder you look so familiar. Your eyebrows and eyes are almost identical to your mother and grandfather. As if it was directly copied and pasted onto your face."Jace also smiled and said, "I only knew about your relationship with my teacher and my grandfather when I called him. The Three Musketeers of Peach Garden, am I right?"Wayne laughed out lo

    "Jace, please excuse me for a moment. I have some family matters to attend to." With that said, Wayne picked up a long wooden stick from the corner. He tried it on his hand and walked out of the workshop.Jace frowned, and no one could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his face.…At the CEO's office, Sage officially took over the position of chairman of the board soon after she kicked Braxton out. However, since she had just started, the Chairman's office had to be renovated so she could only work from the CEO's office.It was a sight to see the forever busy Hunter stay in the CEO's office for a long time without going out. The employees in the office started to speculate what could be the reason for that."Hunter had gone in for a long time, and he has not even come out once. Could there be another tricky project? Come on, please, I have only rested for two days."Louis was holding a pen with his right hand and a dumbbell with his left hand. He said without raising h

    By the time Sage, Leah and Hunter arrived at the hospital, Wayne was already in the operating theater. Both Zamora and Mister Wando waited outside. When they saw Sage and Leah, they greeted them in a hurry, "Miss Sage, Miss Leah.""What's Grandpa's situation?" Sage and Leah asked at the same time.Zamora felt very guilty and said, "Mister Braxton pushed him, and he fainted after that. The doctor said he suffers from a cerebral hemorrhage…"Leah covered her mouth with her hands and her eyes reddened. Hunter immediately hugged her and comforted her, "Don't worry, Grandpa will definitely get through and be better. We can pray for him."Sage's face was dark as she asked, "So Braxton laid his hand on Grandpa?""It's my fault. I shouldn't have let him in…" Mister Wando blamed himself for what happened.Zamora regretted it as they had never thought Braxton would be so daring to hurt Wayne, his own father. It was so outrageous.As soon as Braxton entered Rosa Garden, he kept on scolding

    After that, the doctor gave some advice since Wayne was already in his senior years, and his blood vessels were brittle. He would need to avoid overeating, avoid experiencing dramatic changes in his emotions, and lastly, he was not allowed to get mad. Sage and the rest of the people listened carefully and nodded to show they understood."Grandpa…"After the surgery, Wayne was still very weak. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Sage, who was sitting beside his bed. His lips trembled, "It's a tragedy for our family, for me to have such as… a son…" Leah cried out loud, "Grandpa!"Sage held Wayne's hand and showed him a smile to comfort him. "Grandpa, don't worry. I'm here. No one can hurt you."After putting Wayne to sleep, the smile on her face disappeared immediately once she was out of the ward."Where is Braxton?"Hunter answered, "He is still in the hospital. He suffered quite a serious injury after being kicked by Mister Jace. His old wound has not healed yet, and now his tai

    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
