Sage laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes. The Iceman was really an iceman.Yale did not know what she was laughing at. However, his mood brightened when he saw her smile. He smiled too."Let's try again!" Sage tossed the coin to Yale and told him to toss it. Yale placed the coin at the edge of his nail, put his index finger against it, and flipped the coin.The fifty-cent count leaped into the air and flew high in midair. When it fell back, he caught it with precision.Yale opened his palm. This time, it was the heads."Ah, the heads. It's your turn to ask." Sage opened a packet of dried mangoes and munched them while waiting for Yale to ask her a question. Yale gave it a thought and said, "Tell me about your childhood. I heard from your brother that you were a pain in the *ss when you were a kid.""Me? No, don't listen to him!" Sage repeatedly denied it, "I'm just a little bit naughty, but I'm not a pain in the *ss! I'm better behaved than the boys."Yale chuckl
Well, that was definitely something to be thankful for.Sawyer raised his glass and locked his deep, dark eyes on Primrose's beautiful and charming face."Dear, I want to thank you for blessing me with a beautiful and lovely daughter. You gave me a home. Thanks for being my sunshine by my side." Primrose listened attentively and covered her face with her hands shyly. "Oh, you're so serious. You're making me blush…"She peeked from her hands and showed her eyes. "But I'm not the sun. I'm your moon. The moon fairies always live on the moon."Sawyer toasted and drank the wine. He faintly said, "But you're not a moon fairy.""Hm? Then what am I?" Primrose asked. She sounded like she was already drunk.Sawyer said solemnly, "You're my woman, wife, and child's mother.""Oh? I already have a child? I have a child at such a young age? Oh…" She was completely drunk by then.Sawyer said, "You don't just have one. You have six."Primrose gasped. "Wow. Why did I give birth to so many ch
Sage's brothers arrived at Rosa Garden the next day.Everyone dressed up for the festive season and carried bags and bags of gifts. Rosa Garden's yard was full of cars, and the living room was filled with goods.Sage had more sisters-in-law this year, so it felt more crowded than usual. It would be livelier in a year or two after the birth of her future nephews and nieces. She also had a new brother-in-law.Hunter and Leah also returned from their hometown. Leah followed Hunter to his hometown this year to meet his family and relatives. They could start planning on their marriage after the New Year.Hunter's hometown was a coastal city in the north. He brought back a bunch of seafood from the trip.Sage opened a pack of squid snacks and asked Leah, "How was meeting your future in-laws?"Leah was now working as a designer at Norah Jewel. Sage and Hunter had trained her well this year. She was no longer her former timid and immature self. She had grown, and her appearance and dem
Tim was still unmoved. Sage said, "Actually, this is a tradition. If you don't have it physically, you can transfer the money to me too.""I have no money," Tim answered straightforwardly.Sage was lost for words. Alright. Her big brother was destined to be stingy to her this year. She had no comment about it."Okay. Although you're stingy, I still want to wish you a Happy New Year. You have to pamper me more this year too."Tim answered with a faint hum, "Your New Year's wishes will be fulfilled soon.""Hm?" Just when Sage was confused, Mister Wando carried the big box in. "Mister Tim, your box is here.""What is this?" Sage looked at the large box and walked over. "Is this a present?"Everyone walked over and became curious."Tim, did you get this for us?" Luther's eyes lit up.Tim sat on the sofa alone. He had a thin white cigarette between his fingers. "This is for Sage alone. You didn't wish me a Happy New Year.""I'll do it now…" Luther put his hand together and wante
As the big brother, Tim did not just prepare the gifts for his younger sister. He also prepared some gifts for his younger brothers and sisters-in-law. Everyone had something and was happy.As the youngest child in the family, Sage still got the most gifts. Even so, Suki was surprised that Sage got a gun as a gift. She felt a little nervous when she opened her own gift, but fortunately, her gift was relatively normal.It was a beautiful emerald bracelet. Suki had long known that Seth came from an unusual family. She was pretty familiar with the Hector family, a family of actors. However, the Norah family side was always a surprise to her.She wondered why Seth had so many half-siblings. They were all from unusual backgrounds and gave her a strange sense of mystery.It seemed like everyone had a knack for something. Also, who would give their youngest sister a Browning gun as a New Year's gift?Sage was not even surprised to receive the gun as a gift. Instead, she enjoyed playi
Sage took deep breaths and calmed down.She knew Tim must have made his arrangements since his return. Perhaps, he had arranged for his men to guard around Salem City. Without his permission, no one would be able to get out."Tim." Sage turned around and looked at Tim with a pout. "If you're serious about my safety, you've got to prepare me for this. Don't hide things from me anymore."She could not be tough against her brother. She had to use reasons. Unfortunately, Tim was firm and completely ignored her pouting. "I'll let you know what you need to know when the time comes."Meanwhile, on the island.Jace was doing his recovery training. He was covered in sweat.Primrose watched as Jace trained. Sawyer came over with a grim look after the satellite call. His eyes were dark."Did he get away again?"Primrose was already used to it. She did not show any hint of disappointment in her eyes. "If it were so easy to catch him, he wouldn't be the Shawn we know. I've told you. It's us
After the New Year, Sage became very busy again and was caught up in work. The Yuriel Group was getting back on track. She did not have to stay in Yuriel Group all the time, but she was still traveling back and forth between Nadeem City and Salem City.The Yuriel Group and Norah Group were working together on many projects. With her as the middleman, it saved a lot of trouble.Sage was a person who did not like to hog the work. She tried to delegate any possible task to others to segregate duties. Fortunately, she had Finn and Hunter in the Norah Group. Meanwhile, Henry and Zachary were gradually getting the hang of their work and were able to help her with some things.After the team integration, each department had its own role to play. This eliminated a lot of cumbersome processes to a certain extent. During the process, Sage found many good talents in the Yuriel Group. After interacting with them, she learned that many of the middle management were trained by Jace.Whenever t
Sage was speechless. Tim was really a cold-hearted man. If acting cute to him did not work, that meant she would have to train to the hardest.Sage picked up an oversized water tumbler and finished half of the bottle in gulps. Yale walked over to Sage and asked with a faint smile, "Tired?""Yeah, yeah!" Sage pursed her lips and wiped the sweat from her face with a towel. "It's been a long time since I had such intense training. I feel like I'm a child again."Even so, Sage felt like she had less energy than she had as a child. When she was a child, she was tireless in long training sessions. Now, she was huffing and puffing after two rounds of training.Yale said, "You'll exhaust yourself if you constantly stay on offense. Your attack is already very fierce, but men always have the upper hand of their natural physical strength. There's no point in hitting them hard." Yale gave her some tips and said, "What you need to practice now is how to defend. Try to attack your enemy's
