When Sage finally leaned on Jace's shoulder, he dared not even breathe hard.He waited for half a beat until he was sure Sage was breathing evenly and was sound asleep. Then, he gently calmed down his breathing.The woman he had been missing for so long rested her head gently on his shoulder.Jace only had a thought in his mind. He would not trade the world for this moment and wished that time could stop at this moment forever.He saw that Sage had changed a lot since his return. She was no longer as cold and distant to him. She no longer pushed him away in rejection. The change in her attitude both pleased him and made him feel heartbroken.He knew she changed because he had died and come back to life. However, he was unsure how long this would last. He was very apprehensive about her feelings for him and was mentally ready to fight until the end.This time, he must have her in his arms and never be separated from her again. It had been a long time since Sage slept so well. He
As they walked outside, Sage took the initiative to start a conversation. It seemed like she was trying to break the awkwardness between them. "Zayne is coming to pick us up. Do you want to put on a mask first? He might faint from shock.""Okay. I'll put it on first." Jace was very obedient toward Sage. He put on the black mask and said, "Actually, fainting isn't a big deal. I'm afraid he might cry.""Yeah. He's a crybaby."Sage thought of the days after Jace's funeral. Assistant Zayne looked like he was just widowed. He was always crying as if his soulmate had just died.When they got to the exit, Zayne was already waiting there. He waved to Sage from a distance, but he froze halfway. His smile stiffened. Why did the man in the mask look so much like his… boss Mister Jace? Did he mistake him for Jace?However, this man in the mask and his long legs really resembled Jace! Did Sage find herself a Jace copy?Zayne's imagination went wild. He thought of a tragic love story betwe
Jace fixed his gaze on Sage's face. He felt like the back of his hand was on fire and electrifying.Meanwhile, the familiar voice on the phone said hello several times, but Jace did not answer. Sage reminded him, "Say something."Then, Jace finally returned to his senses.It was Wendy's voice on the phone.Jace greeted softly, "Aunt Wendy, it's me."There was a short 'ah' reply, and her voice stopped abruptly. After a silence of nearly ten seconds, Wendy suddenly replied with a stern voice, "Who are you? Why are you impersonating Jace?!"Her angry voice came through the phone. Jace held the phone further away because the volume made his ears numb. Sage could hear Aunt Wendy's loud and angry voice on the phone. She urged, "Give me the phone. I'll speak to her."Jace gave the phone to her.Sage said, "Aunt Wendy, it's me. Sage."When Wendy heard Sage's voice, her shouting ceased. Wendy's voice began to tremble. "S…Sage? Who was that? W…why did he sound so much like Jace?""
Was Freya happy or unhappy?Naturally, Freya was happy. However, her way of expressing her joy was…After a while, Master Duncan called back and said, "They're both crying. We're packing up and going back to Nadeem City right away! Wait for us!"Judging by the tone in his last sentence, it sounded like he was going to beat them up.Sage looked at Jace's red face and lost expression, and held his hand tightly. "When you get home, it's probably the same. Be mentally prepared." Jace nodded. When they arrived, the two got out of the car and walked to the old residence. Sage held on to his hand as they walked. She held his hand the whole time. His hand was just too cold. It was as cold as ice.She could understand his feelings at the moment. He always had a soft spot for his family. The more he wanted to see them, the more afraid he was to meet them. He feared they could not bear such a great shock and change in emotions.Even so, she had to remind him of something."You just need
When Henry and Zachary heard Faye call out Jace's name, they turned at the same time. They were so afraid that their brother's ghost would appear from behind and scare them!Faye shouted again, "Jace!"Faye's cry frightened Henry and Zachary so much that they dropped to their knees.Both of them put their hands together and shivered. Henry muttered, "Jace, I don't want to die yet. Don't take me away!"Zachary was on the verge of tears. "Jace, we've been good since your death. We've been obedient to Sage! We haven't caused any trouble!"Sage looked at the two silly boys and was rendered speechless. She froze, seeing them talking to themselves suddenly, and laughed.These two idiots could change the mood so easily. The sadness that loomed was gone at once.Henry was still drowned in fear. "We've been good! Really! Jace, if you don't believe us, you can ask Sage…"Both of them turned their heads and looked at Sage with pleading eyes. The moment they turned their hands, they saw Fa
Sage gave Henry and Zachary a warning look and signaled the two to keep quiet.They were meeting Grandpa and Grandma Yuriel soon. It was not only Jace that was nervous but Sage too.People said there was no real empathy in the world, but Sage could somehow sense Jace's thoughts and emotions.Grandpa and Grandma Yuriel waited in the meeting room. They looked calm and collected, but they were a little anxious on the inside.Sage always had her reasons. If she said someone important was coming, that meant he would surely be important to their family. They had a vague feeling that they knew this person."Grandpa! Grandma!" Henry and Zachary rushed into the room first. Everyone looked at the two excited boys and could not help but lean forward. "Are they here?""They're here!" Henry and Zachary knew what would happen next, but they put on a smug look and said meaningfully, "When you see him, don't be too excited."Flynn and Felipe thought in unison, 'Why would we be excited?! We'
Jace's return brought great joy to the Yuriel family. They were all gasping at his perilous experience. Jace had not mentioned that Sage's parents had saved him. He only said that Jekyll's enemies happened to save him. Henry and Zachary were fascinated by his stories. "It sounds like a blockbuster movie."In any case, it was Jace's blessing to be back alive. When Flynn and Felipe's wives heard the news, they also rushed over. They cried tears of joy to see their nephew well and alive and decided to cook a delicious meal for Jace for lunch.When Zachary heard that his mom was going to cook, he whispered to Faye, "It's our fault for boosting her confidence. Now, she thinks she's a really good cook. She's going to embarrass herself later." Faye said, "It's okay. I'll go over and watch her. I'll tell her not to cook too much and not to waste the ingredients." Henry said, "Don't let my mom cook too. I don't want to eat horrible food."The children were busy trying to stop their
Grandpa Yuriel's face turned solemn after Sage left. He patted Jace's shoulder and urged, "You've been through a lot. I am sure you would know it without me telling you. I believe you've understood them. In times of trouble, you'll see the truth. Cherish her."Jace nodded, his eyes full of determination. "Grandpa, don't worry. I understand. God has given me one more chance, and I will not waste it."The lunch preparation took a long time. Gloria and Charlotte were making a mess in the kitchen. Sage had to help them and fix their cooking. Finally, the food was ready. Sage had no choice. She was afraid that everyone would get food poisoning from their terrible cooking.Sage had finally met someone who cooked worse than her mom. Then, she understood why the silly Henry and Zachary were so scared.They were lucky to grow up healthy under such atrocious cooking.When the meal was about to start, Henry went to the museum and picked up Mendoza and Wayne.When Jace saw them, he quick
