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?"

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.

    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.

"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

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?!

    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.

    When Jace went to Mostal and looked at Freya from a distance, she was still sitting in the wheelchair. He thought her leg was not fully healed yet. He did not expect her to be able to stand up and walk!Freya looked at her son and was so excited that she was lost for words. She hugged him tightly for a long while.

"She was so anxious to hear that you're alive. She wanted to come back to see you quickly, so she suddenly stood up and walked as fast as she could. It surprised us too!" Roy smiled.

    Roy frowned and looked at Sage with a distressed look.Sage's eyes widened in shock. "You're poor? Duncan, you're the fourth-generation descendant of Mostal. You have a large portion of shares and get a few tens of millions in dividends yearly. Is the money all gone?""I didn't know." Roy looked dumbfounded. "I kept my money with Ross. I don't use much money."When Sage heard that, she sighed weakly.Roy had spent most of his life studying medicine. He was brilliant in medicine, but he was ignorant of the world. This was not a bad thing. Perhaps it was his purity and simplicity that moved Freya, who had been hurt by the hardships in her life. "That won't be a problem. You just have to tell Ross to hand over your accounts to Aunt Freya for safekeeping," Sage suggested. Roy nodded. "That's great. I'll talk to Ross later."They were chatting when Sage's phone rang. It was Yoel who called. She had no need to ask him to know why he called. Yoel got his news fast.Sage answered the

    "Mom, have a drink." Jace poured a glass of warm water for Freya.Freya gazed at Jace intently. This still felt like a dream."Jace, what's going on? I saw your body with my own eyes. How did you survive?" Freya asked Jace as she pulled him and made him sit beside her. Jace saw his mother's graying hair and wrinkles at the corner of her eyes. He felt that she had aged a lot in the past six months.Only those who had gone through the pain of losing a loved one could understand the pain.He asked, "Did you touch the corpse in the morgue?" Freya shook her head. The memory of that day still pained her. "I lost it when they pulled down the white cloth and revealed your face. I couldn't accept it at all. How could I have the courage to touch you? Yoel and Cole were the ones who helped with the funeral."After that, Freya looked up at him. "Do you mean that corpse isn't you?""Of course not. How else could I be sitting in front of you?" Jace smiled and told her the story. He had

    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.

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.
