After ending a meeting, Jace walked out of the meeting hall with his phone in his hand. Walking toward his office, Jace typed and deleted a message.[There will be a thunderstorm at Nadeem City today. Be careful when you go out.]Jace thought, ‘This won't work. It's too formal.'He thought that perhaps he should be more informal and thought of adding emojis.Jace tried to recall how Zachary usually talked and typed another new message.[I heard that there'll be a thunderstorm soon. Do take care of yourself, alright?]Jace wondered to himself. 'Does it sound too informal?’Jace was slightly disgusted by himself.Hence, he deleted the message and typed another.[Sage, there'll be a thunderstorm today. Make sure to stay safe, okay?]He then sent the message.Jace was slightly nervous but he was reminded of what Zachary told him - that he should not suddenly be concerned with Sage out of the blue as this would give him away easily. Most importantly, he should ask for a favor to
Jace's brows knitted into a frown."..."Yoel glared furiously at Jace. "Dude, I've been saying so much, and that's the only thing that you care about?""The point of this entire story is not that Sage has another godbrother, it's her godbrother's daughter, Emily Samuel! And that girl has feelings for me and she wants me to run away with her! Doesn't that sound terrifying to you?"Jace pressed his lips tightly together. "Ross Samuel. Are you sure that he's the godbrother, not Sage's blood-related brother?""..."Yoel raged. "It's his godbrother! But judging by how they interact, they might as well be blood-related…are you even listening to me? Emily said she wants to run away with me! Runaway!"Jace thought that Yoel was being rowdy.Looking at Yoel in disdain, Jace said flatly, "But aren't you here now?""Duh! Do you think I would run away with her?"Yoel had his eyes wide open and went on, "Dude, her father is Ross Samuel. And who is Ross Samuel you asked? He’s a famous and
'Who are you texting with? And what's with that creepy smile on your face?"Yoel got curious. He reached out his hand to take Jace's phone but Jace was a step ahead of him. Jace locked his phone and put his phone away.He then shot a cold glare at Yoel. "Where are your manners?"Yoel arched his brows and said, "Sage unblocked you? Did she add you back to her contact?"Pressing his lips tightly together, Jace seethed, "Why do you care?""The smile on your face tells me that you're in love."Crossing his arms in front of his chest, Yoel added, "But judging from your current situation, it's unlikely that you're in a relationship with other ladies. Bro, I quite pity you at times. After what happened with that ex-wife of yours, how is it possible for you to fall in love with someone else?"Putting his hand on his forehead, Yoel thought hard. "What was the saying again? Ah, once you love someone, you will feel others are not the one, and it's hard to have intense feelings for other pe
Yeva raised her head and looked at Sage. Seeing that Sage was not going to say anything, she pressed her lips and walked toward Elder Norah. Wayne asked her to sit down on the couch and asked her kindly, "How are you? Do you still feel any pain?"It was the first time someone cared about her after her marriage got into trouble. Suddenly, she got emotional and was about to burst out crying. Her eyes had already turned red. She shook her head and said chokingly, "It doesn't hurt anymore."Sage and Leah looked at Yeva and said nothing. In their opinions, Yeva could only blame herself for what had happened. How could a man not cheat after marriage when he had been cheating when they were dating? Yeva thought all she needed to do was grab hold of being Missus Jefferson. However, she underestimated her husband and did not realize that when a man does not love you, any girl could easily attract him. As a result, he would not definitely care if you are his wife or not. He could easily take t
A father-daughter battle of the century nearly erupted in the Rosa Garden. Wayne was sitting on the couch with his leg crossed. He was amused and kept looking back and forth at angry Melody and Ross, who had a dark-looking expression on his face.He had a hard time understanding what was happening. When he finally figured it out, he waved his hand at Melody and asked her to sit beside him. "Melody, you like Yoel? You have good taste.""Am I right, great-grandpa? Do you really think so too? You have good taste too!" Melody finally found someone who had the same opinion as her. She grabbed Wayne's hand excitingly and was like a totally different person from that angry person before.Ross snorted in disdain. Although Wayne had only seen Yoel one time, he had a good impression of him. "He looked like a decent, humorous, and fun person. Easy-going too. So much better than that Yuriel kid who always had a straight face and pretended to be serious all the time."Melody could not agree mor
Luther turned around and stared at Ross. He was going to scold and curse the creator for his suffering. However, he knew he was no match for Ross, so he could only keep quiet and showed his anger and dissatisfaction through his stare.When Sage saw Luther, she finally could relieve her tensed nerves. "Did Melody look for you?""Yea, she said she missed me and wanted to see me. I was really thrilled to hear that. She wanted to learn how to hack from me. However, she got impatient after a while and directly asked me to check Yoel's location."Luther had never felt so speechless before. "I think there's something sneaky going on with her, so I tried to trick her into telling me her plan. Then she gave me the pack of pistachios."He tilted his head to look at Ross while feeling very wrong. "Ross, you have to help me. Your daughter bullied me!"Ross sneered coldly, and he asked Luther back, "Do I have a daughter?"Luther looked at Sage puzzlingly. However, Sage had a deadpan expressio
"Oh no, Brother Rich!" Melody quickly ran over and took some tissues for him to wipe his mouth. "Are you really that surprised to see me?"Yoel was out of words. 'Is this surprise? I'm in shock! Not surprised?' He looked at Melody while still feeling shocked. "Why, why are you here?""To look for you, of course," said Melody while looking at the food on the table. She was famished and looked at Yoel with her big and rounded clear eyes, "Brother Rich, I'm very hungry. Can I eat something?"Yoel could not reject such big eyes and passed her some sandwiches, "Eat it.""Thank you." Being the polite girl, she put down her backpack and sat across from Yoel, and started to eat. Although she was showing eagerness and really looked like she was very hungry, she did not eat like a dog. Instead, she bit small bites and filled her mouth like a squirrel.The maid cleaned the floor that was dirty by Yoel. After it was cleaned, the maid saw how cute Melody was, took more food out from the kitche
Yoel's tone hinted he was starting to panic a little. Melody looked up and told the truth, "They didn't know it at first, but they should have figured it out by now."Just when Yoel was going to let Melody tell him the whole story, his phone rang, and it was a call from Queen Sage. His heart started to beat rapidly, and the ringtone was like a death song to him. He tried to steady his hand to pick up the phone. His voice was also trembling as he said, "Hello."On the other side, Sage said coldly, "Did Melody go looking for you?"Yoel looked at Melody, and she was hinting and gesturing at him. However, he ignored it and admitted, "Yes, she is right in front of me. She had eaten some sandwiches, two hard-boiled eggs, two hash browns, and four glasses of orange juice."Sage did not know what to say. "Where are both of you now?"Yoel replied, "Yuriel Mansion."Sage squeezed her brows and repeated, "Where? Say it again.""Yuriel Mansion." Yoel thought Sage did not hear him clearly, s
