Melody's cries rang throughout the whole course and that drew everybody's attention.Sage, Leah, and Hunter immediately went over to Melody and before Yoel could say anything, all three of them said in unison, "Did you hurt her?""I didn't, it's not me. I didn't do anything!" explained Yoel, clearly flustered from all the commotion.Melody doesn't cry often, but when the tears started to flow, it couldn't be stopped. Melody looked toward Sage and said, "Sage, he…"Yoel couldn't believe what he was hearing, and looked at Melody in disbelief.Sage stared at Yoel menacingly, "Don't be afraid, Melody. Tell me, what did he do to you?"Melody replied in between sobs, "He… he was mean to me."Yoel couldn't believe that she actually thought that he was mean to her. "What did I say?" asked Yoel.Melody snapped around and stared at Yoel with tears still flowing down her face. Her eyes were now red from crying, and her nose was stuffed. She said, "You were laughing at how I fell off a pon
The pony was just as frightened by the sudden turn of events. After Melody finally recovered from her outburst, she walked up to the pony and started stroking its mane to calm it down."Were you shocked? Don't be scared Ross, I won't let him do anything to you. You're mine, and I'll make sure that you're taken care of," said Melody as she lightly pat the pony.Yoel was bemused by Melody's words and he turned to Sage, "She's funny. Did you raise her?"Sage wasn't planning on hiding anything, "Almost. Melody was adopted by my brother, Ross. Ross found her abandoned at a foot of a mountain and he took her home. Then he told everybody that she was his, and said her mother died during childbirth. Grandmother believed him and raised her like our own. Not long after, Grandmother fell ill and could no longer keep Melody by her side. After that, Melody was sent to Rosa Garden."Yoel was surprised by Sage's explanation, he could not believe that the famous doctor Ross actually had a daughte
"This was what I meant! You just have to text like this in order not to let Sage be suspicious of what's happening here!" exclaimed Zachary as he thrust his phone into his brother's face.Jace sat in front of his desk, with a cigarette in between his fingers, his eyes couldn't help but twitched when he saw that Sage was giving Zachary the bracelet for free.'How generous of you,' thought Jace to himself.Zachary replied Sage with kisses emojis.[Thanks, love you lots!]"Your text was too formal, but if you add some emojis, it would sound more laid-back," explained Zachary.Jace glanced at the screen and couldn't help but feel that maybe his brother was illiterate. Yet, he still nodded and said, "Okay."He made a mental note to add more emojis to his texts and perhaps try not to text like he was initiating a business conversation."Also, you have to understand that nobody just texts somebody out of the blue. For example, when was the last time I texted you?" asked Zachary."Whe
Zayne knew the answer before he asked the question. As such, he replied to his boss professionally, "Noted."All the residents of Salem City were shocked to see how quickly the clear skies gave way to a sudden downpour of rain.Sage was just as confused too. She was still in the cafe of the racecourse discussing the details of the racecourse when the lights suddenly flickered for a moment and then popped. The manager immediately rushed through the rain and into the cafe. He explained to Sage that the sudden malfunction was because of the monthly reparations of the racecourse's electrical grid and the sudden storm that caused the workers to stop the reparations due to health hazards. As such, the electricity would only be back on after the storm resides.Sage remained calm and told the manager to prioritize the health and safety of their workers first. Yoel also chimed in, "Safety first!"After he said that, a small nimble person darted up the ladder in the corner of the room. O
Sage took Melody to the corner of the room by her ear. Melody stayed silent as Sage scolded her for her actions.Melody knew that what she did today was considered too much, and Sage's anger was justified. That was why she did not argue with Sage and instead just stood there and listened to what she had to say in fear of making Sage any angrier than she already was.After Sage was done, Melody finally lifted her chin and looked at Sage pitifully, "I'm sorry, Sage. I won't do it again. Please forgive me."Sage was never the type to be easily persuaded. She kept her angry face on and continued, "Just tell me the truth. What are you trying to accomplish here?"Melody looked at Yoel who was standing at the window with a cigarette in his mouth and said, "I think I like Yoel, but he still thinks I'm a kid. I just want him to see that I'm not a kid." Melody even puffed up her chest to accentuate her point.Sage could not understand what was going through the young girls head nowadays. Lo
Melody eyes were blinking frantically and she tried to process what just happened.‘Was I rejected? That was my first time confessing my feelings to another person, and I was rejected?’ Melody thought to herself.Sage sent Ross a text. [Your daughter is about to find a boyfriend for herself.]Ross immediately replied. [Who is this unfortunate victim?][He's no victim, he's more of a perpetrator.][I see. Well best of luck to him. I applaud his bravery.] Sage was at a loss for words, how could Ross be so nonchalant about it.[Are you sure you're her dad? You should take her back, I think she’s going to forget you if you drag this out any further.] Not long after, Ross’s reply finally came in. [I'm at Rosa Garden already. Tell Melody to behave herself and to also bring that guy home. I want to see who this perpetrator is.]Sage couldn’t help but feel in awe of how Ross can make it sound like he didn’t care at all but in reality, he cared about that young girl more than anyone
The storm thundered outside the cafe, and Melody's words thundered inside Yoel's head.Yoel has always been a lady's man, this wasn't the first time he was being confessed to. However, this was the first time somebody wanted to run away with him.'Is every kid nowadays so forward-thinking?' Yoel thought to himself.Yoel turned to Sage for help. "Why are you so calm. Do something about her!"Sage glanced at Melody, "Can't help you. You can take her if you want to," replied Sage.Yoel was at a loss for words.When Yoel looked at Melody, he caught her staring intently at him and his heart sank. 'She wouldn't actually be serious about liking me… Right?' Yoel thought to himself.When the storm outside calmed down, Sage and the others left the racecourse.Yoel, who was scared that Melody who do anything to him, immediately fled the scene.Melody stared intently at Yoel's car and asked Sage, "Why is he so scared of me? I'm not going to hurt him.""Hah. He isn't scared of you. He's a
"You're wrong. Humans are emotional animals. Nobody will ever be willing to sacrifice for nothing. No matter how deep your love for him is, there will come one day when you get tired of him," explained Sage.Melody's brow furrowed, "That doesn't mean that we should be afraid to love just because it might hurt us one day!""That's not what I meant. The point I'm trying to make is, that you have to understand your love has to do with you and only you. If you understand that, then you won't be overwhelmed by regrets in the future. If you decide to love somebody, do everything you can, and live your life to the fullest. If no matter what you do, your feelings are still only one-sided, then you have to be able to let go and be okay with failure." Sage replied wholeheartedly.After a few moments of silence, Melody finally understood what Sage was trying to tell her."I understand now. I have to be honest with myself. If I love him then I should be ready to do everything I can but I have
