After that, everyone passed the spit bucket around. The guests behaved in the same way as Jace and Sage. Some were spitting wine, and some poured the wine away. It was a completely normal thing to do.Their natural actions struck Sienna, embarrassing her in silence. She was stunned at first, then her face flushed red.Luna felt ashamed and could not stand it anymore. She turned back and scolded her, "You! Sit down now!"As soon as Sienna took her seat, Luna asked her, "Didn’t you tell me you’ve been to a lot of wine tasting? How come you don’t even understand this basic etiquette?"Sienna came to learn that the sommelier used a wine pour spout to pour an ounce of wine. However, there were times where the sommelier poured more. In such a situation, people would usually drink a little and pour the rest away.The wine tasting event was a party for people to taste wine. It was not for one to chug the wines.A professional wine taste would not drink all the wine, or else they would ge
There was a tea room on the floor below the hall.Lucas ordered a pot of tea to help them bounce back after drinking. The waiter filled the cup with tea. The tea fragrance overflowed and helped clear their mind."As you get older, you have to learn to take care of your body. It’s better to drink more tea and less alcohol."Lucas’s voice was mellow and clear. His calm demeanor as he took a sip of tea showed the grace of an elder. If it were not for those rough, calloused palms, no one would know that Lucas was originally from the countryside.It took him thirty years to change his image as a countryside man. The young generation would not think of Lucas as the Yuriel family’s son-in-law. Instead, they recognized him as the famous and suave Chief Spencer. Jace was seated across Lucas. He sat for a long time without saying a word and remained expressionless.The father and son were sitting face to face. If one looked carefully, their lips were the strongest similarity between them.
When she stabbed the scissors on his lips, he bled. Jace did not cry or throw a tantrum. He just looked at Freya indifferently and said calmly, "Just kill me. Since you both don’t love me, you shouldn’t have given birth to me in the first place."His mother finally stopped. Then, she slapped him heavily, knocking him directly to the ground. Before he could recover from the excruciating pain, the scissors fell to the ground with a clatter. He watched as Freya jumped from the balcony on the third floor resolutely. "I know. You’re still blaming me for my divorce from your mother." Lucas’s voice was low and calm. There was a hint of guilt in his emotions but no remorse."I’ve been through a lot with your mother. We have loved each other and hated each other. Maybe the stronger the love, the stronger the hate." Lucas took a sip of tea and continued speaking. His voice sounded a little soft due to the heat."There’s no right and wrong in a love relationship. A good marriage has to
Sage had great fun and came home tired. After getting out of the car, Sage and Nigel walked home with heavy footsteps."Girl, you’re weak." Nigel paced steadily and smirked at Sage. "You must have been busy making money in the past few months. Are you lacking exercise?" Sage glared at him in annoyance. "Hey! I’m wearing high heels! Try walking in these heels!" Nigel snorted softly and said, "It’s not like I haven’t worn it before."Sage was stunned. She raised her eyes and looked at him meaningfully. Suddenly, she exclaimed, "You have an interesting taste."That made Nigel speechless. As soon as she said that, Nigel raised his hand and hit her head. He corrected her, "I mean the height insoles in my shoe. Girl, what the h*ll are you thinking about? Did you read too much erotica?" Sage rubbed her forehead and muttered, "You aren’t short. Why are you wearing that to increase your height?""You won’t understand. For men, wearing insoles to increase height is just as importan
She gave Nigel an understanding look and carried Puffy upstairs.Nigel blushed. He watched as Sage went upstairs, then turned to Sean and bickered, "Sage is still around. Be mindful of your words…"…The night passed silently.Sage got up and freshened up herself. Then, she walked downstairs with careful steps. She did not want to wake Nigel and Sean up and thought of making breakfast for them.She was surprised to hear some noises in the kitchen as soon as she went downstairs. Sean was already up and was frying some eggs.Sean heard the movement behind him and turned slightly. "You’re up so early?""Yeah. Good morning." Sage greeted him and strode into the kitchen. Sage had only seen Sean in the image of a lawyer in a suit. It was the first time seeing him in home clothes and an apron. Sean did not wear his glasses either. He looked very gentle in his homely appearance.He skillfully put the fried eggs on the plate and asked Sage, "Did you sleep well last night?"Sage nod
Nigel and Sage rushed to the hospital. Upon arriving at the door, they saw the nurse walking out of the ward with Lulu, who was covered in blood.She was injured by sharp objects in many places, including her back, calf, and ankle. Her white T-shirt was stained with blood. The glass fragments stuck on her calf looked appalling. Nigel’s usually warmed face changed greatly. He took a few steps forward and asked, "What’s wrong? What happened to her?" Sage furrowed her brows tightly and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and send her to the emergency room."The ward was a mess. The side lamp, bowls, and vase shards were all blood-stained. Asher was also injured, but not as badly as Lulu.The nurse explained to them. It was Lulu who rushed over in time and stopped Asher. She hugged him, but as a result, she was crushed to the floor and was injured all over.There was a loud quarrel in the morning. A loud crash followed after that. No one knew what was going on.Sage was angry seeing Lu
Asher's current situation was almost the same as Jace’s situation before. Back then, Jace had a period of extreme impatience. He was filled with anger and treated everyone as enemies.The closest ones would be the ones who would be hurt most.Sage thought that things would turn better after hard days that were finally over. Who knew that it was the beginning of the worst. There was nothing but darkness after the hardest days.Sage was about to say something with an icy face. Then, a soft voice came from behind her."If he tries to move impatiently in the future, tie him up and don’t spoil him. He’s a strong man. You should rather hurt him than yourself."Sage turned back and saw Jace’s indifferent face. As their eyes met, Sage’s face turned icier. Then, she looked away, took off her medical gloves, and went to the bathroom to wash her hands.Looking at Lulu's injuries, Jace’s eyes turned a little gloomy."Asher is worried about you and told me to check on you."The girl who alm
When Sage came out from the ward, she saw Jace sitting on the bench outside the ward. He was holding a thin cigarette in his hand, but it was not lit.He sat there with a stiff expression like he almost froze there.The door to the ward was not closed earlier. Perhaps, he had overheard her conversation with Lulu. Then, he must have overheard the four words she said. The two looked at each other. In just a split second, Sage moved her gaze and marched straight forward. Jace squeezed the cigarette and trembled a little. His throat felt dry.He could only blame himself, so he shut his eyes and cursed himself.… Sage headed to Asher's ward. She could hear Yoel yelling at Asher even from a distance."Hey, tell me. What are you doing? Are you an idiot? Did you lose your mind?"Do you think your injury isn’t serious enough? Do you want to hurt yourself again? If you don’t want to live anymore, tell me. I’ll kill you and cut your neck at once. I will guarantee you a quick and easy
