Laura explained that she hurt her waist during a mission.

She made it sound light, but Sage looked at her expression and knew that the injury was serious.

"Turn around. Don't look," Sage ordered Jace. Jace obeyed and turned around in silence.

After Louis mopped the floor, Sage sent him to receive Luther and Kane.

The three of them were the only ones left in the spacious cafe.

Laura could not help laughing, looking at her old comrade, who became as docile as a big golden retriever. She commented, “I didn’t expect the high and mighty Old Dried Fish to be so docile now. Has life trained you or something else that conquered you?"

Jace gritted his teeth. He could not turn around, so he had to swallow his frustration. He pretended that he heard nothing.

"Old Dried Fish?" Sage arched her brows slightly.

Laura explained, "Jace’s nickname. Yoel and I gave it to him. Isn’t it nice?"

Sage almost laughed. She glanced at the back of Jace’s head and agreed, "Yeah. It suits him."

    Laura squinted her pretty eyes sharply. Luther patted his chest and said, "I got shocked, Sage. I thought you were caressing a man."Sage was speechless.What were they thinking about? How could they mistake such a pretty girl for a man?"So what if I'm caressing a man? Can't I touch any men?"Jace glared at Sage. He would never let that happen.Before Jace could speak, a cold voice was heard."You're not allowed to," said Kane coldly.Sage and Luther both looked in Kane's direction with confusion on their faces.Laura looked up slightly. "None of y—"Kane grabbed Laura’s shoulders with his arms directly across Sage and Luther, and his face was solemn as he said, “This is your sister-in-law. My wife.”Laura was dumbstruck. Both Sage’s and Luther's jaws dropped.After a few seconds of silence, Laura grabbed Kane's arms with her shoulder against his body. She was about to slam him down, but she forgot she had just hurt her waist. Kane was unfazed and waited for her movement, b

    Yoel stared at Melody, and not a single word came out of his mouth.It was the first time he saw her in simple clothes. It looked perfect on her, as if it was custom-made to her body. She looked like an angel.He thought he saw Sage and not Melody. Their unfazed expressions were like two peas in a pod.Nat looked up and down at Melody, and she was slightly threatened. "Who are you?"Melody thought for a moment and said, "If you're his ex-girlfriend, I'm his next girlfriend."What did she mean by that?Yoel's lips moved. He felt his waist aching again.Nat furrowed her brows. "You're a high schooler at most. Are you even of legal age? Such shameless words coming out of your mouth. Where are your parents, little girl? Go home."Melody slowly raised her brows and replied coldly, "I'm sorry. This is my home."Nat was taken aback.Quest heard the commotion and came over. He wore the same kind of simple clothes and looked dashingly handsome."What's up?" Quest naturally positioned

    Yoel gritted his teeth with his eyes closed, anticipating the pain.However, he only felt an itch at the back of his waist and Melody's voice saying, "All done."Huh? That was it?Yoel was stunned for a bit as he opened his eyes. Before he could turn back, Melody held him down. "Don't move. It'll take 10 minutes."Yoel was dumbfounded. "You put the needles in already?"Melody replied, "Yes, it was only three needles. I could do it with my eyes closed. You can even run around once I pull out the needles."Yoel was still in disbelief. If what she said was true, how did he not feel a thing? He said to Melody, "Hey, take a photo with my cellphone. I want to see it. It's in my pants pocket.""Why would you want a photo of this?"Confused, Melody reached into Yoel's pants pocket, but her hands were in too deep. She felt something stiffen up as she searched for his phone."Don't touch that!" Yoel's face flushed bright red.Melody was unaware of what he referred to and muttered, "I d

    Yoel was both surprised to see his former mate and shocked by Laura's words. He twisted his waist yet once again.That was how both Laura and Yoel ended up on the clinic beds, both getting massages and treatments.Melody gave Yoel a massage with her excellent masseuse skills. Yoel enjoyed it a lot. However, no one seemed to care about Yoel as they all looked at Sage and Laura.Kane looked at Laura's tiny waist full of concern and asked, "Will she suffer from any long-term complications?"Sage prepped the needles as she responded lightly, "It may be difficult for her to make a full recovery."Kane's sharp brows furrowed hard.Yoel was lying face down, but it did not stop him from talking. He took a look at Laura with his head tilted."Weren't you injured from the Mission Rohaim years ago? I remembered that you were nearly paralyzed from the waist down, and we all thought you had to retire. We thought you were fully healed when you came back three months later."He added, "Why do

    Laura had sensed that someone was following her for a while. She was good at shaking them off stalkers as well.Recently, she was almost caught. Laura decided to run to Nadeem City to hide from them.She took a break from the company, plus her injuries were not completely healed. Laura thought it was best to avoid any trouble that would cause her to be demerited.However, she never expected the stalker to have followed her all the way there! Have they got no boundaries?"No, I got the right gal," said Kane with a determined yet unusual calm voice, with a tad mockery, "Unless you weren't the person who hit me when I was a kid?"Laura almost lost it. She had punched so many people in her life, and they usually would not even go near her. That was the first time someone came after her."Please, pal, that was ages ago. Why can't you just let it go?"Laura took a look at Kane's face and that attitude. She knew he would not let her off the hook so easily."Fine. We'll fight it out on

    Sage and Laura quickly became best friends a little sooner than everyone thought.They were both direct and straightforward, and there were no issues communicating with each other. Though Laura had a military background and seemed masculine at times, she was still a little girl at heart and enjoyed pretty things.Sage spent most of her time in Nadeem City working, jade engraving, visiting Jace's mother, looking after Melody, and shopping with Laura.Laura had a banging body figure, just like models on a runway. Her androgynous style suited any of the clothes Sage picked for her, and even girls could fall for her…Sage got too excited and could not help but take pictures of her in various styles. It was like a photo shoot. Sage gasped in awe when she looked at the photos she had taken of Laura."Babe, come work for me as a brand ambassador when you retire from the military. It's a waste not taking advantage of your face and figure as a model."Laura fiddled with the bucket hat in

    Laura pursed her lips with a displeased expression. "I'm ashamed of having such a humiliating ex-colleague!"Sage smiled half-heartedly and replied, "Yes, he's blind, but not entirely wrong."Sage was a little tipsy, and she was slightly fazed."I hid my true identity from him for three years. I kept everything about Sage Norah in the dark, and every single day, I was worried that my true identity would be exposed."I became an entirely different person. I was no different than a people-pleasing puppet. How could Jace like me when I don't even like myself?"Laura thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "You know, I previously had a crush on Jace. Do you know how he rejected me back then?"Sage looked up and sneered, "He only had eyes for Sienna at that time, and he must've told you that he had someone else in mind."Laura replied, "No. He told me that… he's a killer, not a lover."Sage was dumbfounded. "What a stupid man."Laura laughed and added, "He was what they called a k

    Laura told Sage, "It's not hard to see that Jace still loves you. I don't know if you still love him or not. I'm no love guru, but if you're still in love with each other, why don't you give yourself another chance?"Laura did not understand Sage. Laura had always been straightforward with her feelings. If she liked somebody, she would go for it. If she no longer had any feelings for him, she would split up with him.With death constantly looming around the horizon, Laura had no time to wait for happiness to come knocking.Sage was not convinced. "It's because you have yet to fall in love. Just wait until you fall in love with another person. Then, you'll understand that love isn't binary. There are always some external factors that you have to consider. Those who are able to be together are always the fortunate ones, but unfortunately, not everybody can be so fortunate."Sage did not tell Laura how disappointed she was when she signed her name on the divorce papers. She could not

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.

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

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.

    "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.

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
