When Sage saw Jace, her mind wandered with the cold wind. She suddenly thought of the time when Jace recovered from his high paraplegia and started to return to work at Yuriel Group. He had to fly off to many different places all the time. No matter how late his plane arrived, she would always pick him up at the airport.At that time, Sage was worried that his body and mind could not cope with the intense workload. However, Jace could not understand why Sage needed to worry about him and was unwilling to let Sage go pick him up from the airport. In the end, she could only wait for him at home.There was one time the television was airing a new and popular drama that took place in the middle ages. She was sitting in the living room and saw a scene where one of the actresses was crying and said, "Do you know how it feels to sit and wait alone all night?"Sage did not know if the actor's performance affected her emotionally or if it was the script that had touched her heart deeply. She
Since there were already people sitting in the driver and front passenger seats, four of them needed to sit in two separate cars. Jace had shown Ross and Luther to the second car and invited Sage to sit together with him in the first car.Luther was afraid that Sage would feel embarrassed and Jace might be up to something bad, so he wanted to change with Sage. However, Sage told him it was unnecessary. "Coincidentally, I have some business matters to discuss with Mister Jace."It was better to act normally rather than being awkward. They were divorced, not criminals.When they got into the car, Sage spoke first, "I'm sorry that Melody had disturbed and caused trouble for you. She is a very naughty girl."Jace tilted his head and looked at her, "Sage, you don't have to act like a stranger with me."After that, Sage began to talk about the racecourse project. Jace did not go to the discussion. Everything was decided by her and Yoel. They planned to launch it on Valentine's day for g
'Why do people fall in love? Was it because he was good to you and cared for you? Or was it because you think he has many strong points and you were slowly attracted to him?'Sage did not know the answer. All she knew was that the old Sage used to be like Melody. She suddenly fell in love with a man, and she could no longer control herself. However, how long could this love continue on? It was true that she had really fallen deeply in love, and it was also true that she no longer was now."Mister Jace." Sage said slowly as she stretched her lips into a curve, "Are you kidding me?"Not knowing why, Jace felt his heart stop beating for a second. He was prepared to be rejected by her. However, he never expected Sage to react this way, disbelieving and teasing him. Like she was saying, "Celebrate Valentine's day together? Do you even hear yourself?"Jace was never a person who would easily fall in love and disregard everything else. He did not have thick skin like Yoel. However, he tot
Yoel was caught off guard when Melody jumped on him. He wanted to push her away but was afraid that she would fall. 'You are scared now? Why did you do it then?'However, he himself was also nervous and scared. He coaxed with a stiff face, "Get off me first. I won't be able to explain it later…""No, no. You need to protect me. I'm not lying. My dad and aunt are really scary." Unlike the brave girl she was when she ran away, she was nearly scared to death.Melody had her arms wrapped around Yoel's neck tightly. He even had the desire to die while his heart was screaming, 'You think I don't know how scary your dad and aunt are? That's why you should get down right at this moment!'However, he was afraid he would scare Melody even more if he screamed at her. Hence, he could only try to be like a big wolf and slowly comforted her, "Be a good girl. Get down now, and we can talk it over…"Melody did not dare to get down. She saw people getting down the car and on their way to the house
With her big round eyes, she stared at Jace and asked, "Uncle, who are you?"'Uncle?' At that moment, Jace suddenly felt he had aged a lot. He did not know if he should laugh or cry. Since Melody was Sage's niece, he felt like he had already grown closer to her.He twisted the corner of his mouth as if he was teasing a little kid and said, "This is my house."Melody did not understand it at first. Then she suddenly remembered she was in Yuriel Mansion. She quickly responded, "Oh, so you are Jace Yuriel, my aunt…"Just when she was about to stand up and before she could mention the word, 'ex-husband', Sage stopped her and shouted, "Kneel down." Hence, the scared little bunny could only continue to kneel. Her eyes were glaring at Jace as her face was full of resentment. "So you are the heartbreaker who hurt my aunt and made her become a different person. I hate you."Jace was speechless by her comment. Later, Melody turned her head and talked to Yoel, "Brother Rich, don't play with
From her understanding, Mister Paul had not reached the age of retirement. On top of that, the Yuriels had always been kind and generous when it came to paying their maids and servants. A servant with a high position as Mister Paul would definitely be treated well in their old age.Retiring back home did sound like a decent decision. However, it was just the equivalent of a company asking its employee to tender resignation to preserve the employee's dignity.Mister Paul was an honest man, but he could also be cunning, especially considering his close relationship with the Zeldas. The fact that Sienna was able to move into the Yuriel Mansion so easily was partially because of Mister Paul.However, how could Jace get rid of Mister Paul so easily, the same man who was partially the reason Jace and Sienna got together? Could it be that Jace really had no feelings for Sienna anymore?Sage laughed to herself internally, and she could not be bothered with any of it anyway.Those things h
Melody kneeled on the carpet in the living room before the side table. She would occasionally sneak a glance or two at her father, aunt, and uncle, who were all glaring at her from the sofa.It was as if there were three tall mountains about to fall on her, making her breathless.Yoel stood behind Melody. The scene before him had stunned him speechless.Even though he did not do anything wrong, he felt like the anger coming from Ross, Sage, and Luther was partially directed toward him…The surrounding air was getting thinner when Ross finally parted his lips to utter, "You're all grown up now, are you? How dare you do such a heinous thing to your uncle? Apologize to him now."Ross was referring to the pistachios that were spiked with the Happy Pill and given to Luther.That was indeed Melody's fault. She turned her knees to face Luther and apologized with her heart. "I'm so sorry, Uncle Luther, I shouldn't have given you the pistachios. You must've suffered, laughing, right? Wh
'Guess I'll be protecting you from now on.'Melody was still deep in her fantasy when Sage called out to her, "Melody."Melody raised her arm up mischievously and said, "Present!"Sage looked up at her coldly and said, "Is that all from you?"Melody blinked her eyes and looked over at Ross' sunken face and was reminded that there were things unsettled.Sigh, it seemed that the good ol' Ross was actually angry, seeing that his expression had not softened, as if someone had owed him a million dollars."Ross," she called out.No one answered."Daddy," she called out again.No one answered."My dearest father.""Yes." Ross answered.Finally.Melody muttered, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have run away from home again and again. Making you, Aunt Sage, and all the uncles worried. I shouldn't have done that. From now on, I'll never run away from home ever again. Since I'm almost of age now, I should act more like an adult. If father could be so forgiving and kind as to allow Brother Ri
