A Relentless Pursuit for Love Chapter 62
Jace was unfazed. He did not think that the enamel plates had anything to do with Sage divorcing him. Besides, it was he who had asked for the divorce and not her. Jace and Sage were once again at the center of attention. Neither of them looked like they were going to back down. Testing each other's patience, Sage and Jace took turns increasing the price by a hundred thousand dollars each time. The crowd watched in confusion. They felt like they were watching an argument between two kids. Were they going to continue bidding until a billion dollars? The auctioneer was slowly getting exhausted, too. When the bid reached five million dollars Sage stopped. Luther asked, "What's wrong? Too tired? Here, let me help you."He comforted Sage. "There, there. Don't worry about the final price. I'll pay for it. This is the Bennetts' turf, I will not allow anyone to bully you."Luther was about to raise the sign when Sage stopped him, shook her head, and said, "The plates are only worth

On the way home, Sage sat at the back of the car with her lips pressed tightly together. She did not say anything. The atmosphere in the car was tense. Hunter, who was behind the wheel was tense. He was trying his best to drive carefully so as not to cause Sage any discomfort. He did not wish to be caught in the crossfire.Hunter had been working with Sage, and he knew Sage's temperament all too well.If she went to great lengths to argue with a person, it meant that she was not angry nor was she provoked by the argument. If, however, she was silent, like how she was now, it meant that she was fuming with rage and that one had to tread lightly around her. Upon reaching Rosa Garden, Hunter got out of the car and opened the door for Sage. Getting down from the car, Sage said, "Get some rest. Come pick me up at eight in the morning tomorrow.""Yes, ma'am," replied Hunter. Carefully studying Sage's expression, he added worriedly, "Ma'am, I know that you're still upset about what h

'So why did she stop bidding?'Jace felt as if he was drowning in an ocean of doubts. Rubbing his temples, Jace sighed."Let's go."Taking another look out the window, Jace thought that he would eventually get the answers he needed someday.…Returning to her room, Sage took a shower.At soon as the hot water gushed out of the showerhead, Sage could no longer contain her anger, and she screamed. It was a short scream, but she was finally able to let out all the anger that had been building up inside her.She was feeling extremely frustrated with the fact that she had lost the chance to own the set of enamel porcelain plates.After showering, Sage pulled on a robe and sat in front of the dressing table. It was time for her nighttime skincare routine. Her room was painted in shades of white, grey, and black, and most of her furniture was gold in color. Her room was minimalistic and classy. It was totally different from her room at Yuriel mansion. At that time, she had wanted

Not only was her face red from the slap but the corners of her lips were bruised.Sage's grip accidentally ripped Yeva's wound causing her to flinch in pain. Pushing away Sage's hand, Yeva hissed, "None of your business!"Sage would be more than glad to leave her alone. Leaning against the door, she looked calmly at Yeva, who was throwing a tantrum.Yeva was glaring furiously at Sage with her reddened eyes."It's all your fault! If you didn't humiliate Julian in front of everyone earlier, he wouldn't have been this upset, and he wouldn't have hit me."Touching her left cheek, Yeva still felt the burning pain.Earlier when Julian had spent nearly a fortune on Sage, Yeva was fuming with jealousy. Once the auction had ended, Yeva had started whining and sulking in hopes that Julian would comfort her. However, instead of comforting her like he normally did, he slapped her across the face. When Julian's hand landed on her face, Yeva was stumped. The ringing sound in her ear did not

Drinking from the glass, Jace seemed unfazed."What is there to be worried about?"Seeing how Jace was all calm and composed, Yoel cursed at Jace under his breath.Holding back his anger, Yoel started advising Jace, "Tell me, Jace. Why did you decide to come all the way to Salem City?""For business," Jace replied in a matter-of-fact manner. "Didn't we agree to work together on the horseracing business?"Yoel nodded. "Yeah, I know. But do you know who we'll be working with?"Still looking unbothered, Jace said, "It doesn't matter."Jace had an ulterior motive for coming to Salem City. The horseracing business was an excuse. Therefore, it did not matter who he would be working with. Observing Jace's cool unconcerned attitude, Yoel did not want to tell Jace the truth, but he could not help himself. His desire to tease Jace outweighed everything else. "Seems like you did not even look into it in the slightest, huh? The piece of land on the outskirts of Salem City belongs to Nor

Leaning against the wall outside the toilet, Sage wished she was nowhere near Yeva, who stank. Realizing that she was lying on the toilet bowl, Yeva frowned in disgust. Just when she tried to get up onto her feet, her legs gave way."Ah!" Yeva groaned in pain. Looking down, she noticed the bruises on her knees that were badly swollen.The pain knocked Yeva back to her senses.Scenes from last night flashed across her mind.She remembered how she had shouted at Sage. She remembered how Sage had leaned lazily on the door, looking at her. She remembered how Miss Zamora had the guards drag her to the toilet and proceeded to keep her there. She also remembered throwing up, the guards taking care of her, and proceeding to keep her in the toilet despite her begging and pleas. 'My God!' thought Yeva to herself.Yeva felt as if her world had come crashing down on her. ‘So, I really spent an entire night kneeling by the toilet bowl?'She looked at Sage with resentment and fear in

The book of house rules had stated clearly how Yeva should be punished."You're crazy!"Yeva could not imagine how painful it would be to be hit by the ferule. "My parents had never once hit me, so what makes you think that you can hit me? Who do you think you are?!"Unfazed, Sage replied, "I've made myself clear that if you wish to stay in my house, you will obey my rules. The Norah family has always instilled the value of respect for one's elders in their members. Have you forgotten that your dad and Uncle Zane were both disciplined by my dad? They never dared to go up against my dad. So, what makes you think it will be any different for you?"Sage had the servant place the rulebook by Yeva's bedside table. "I suppose two days would be enough for you to memorize all of it, right?""I will test you after two days. If you get any of it wrong, then you will be hit once, and if you dare scold anyone, you will be slapped. You can try your luck if you do not fear any pain or being h

"Hey."Yoel got to his feet. Hesitating, Jace stood up, too.Sage was dressed casually today. She wore a light blue blouse, and a pair of white trousers, and on her feet were a pair of high heels. She had a light gray sweater coat simply worn behind and tied in front of the body.Though her outfit was simple, she looked fashionable and attractive.Jace squinted slightly. Sage had never failed to surprise him with something new every time she showed up, but she had never once acted like the woman he had known. The Sage that he knew had always dressed in warm-toned casual outfits, and she always wore her hair down or tied up in a bun. She had always presented herself as a good wife.Jace had never had a problem with that, but it had always felt like she had been pretending to be someone she was not just so she could please him. That made him feel uncomfortable.The person standing in front of him was who she really was.Even though he felt as if there was a distance between th

Sage heard of the saying, 'Marriage is for happiness, and so does divorce.'Based on Wikipedia, the definition of marriage was, 'Marriage is a long-term contractual relationship between a man and a woman based on equal consent.'Someone once said, 'Marriage is like a siege. 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. This time, they were both determined to win. They wanted to live their lives well. Even if their passion were to fade in the future, they would never leave each other. 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

The ninth of September arrived quickly.Sage was worried that Jace would not be able to get up on time, but Sage turned out to be the one who overslept. 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

"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.
