After Luna and Lucas formally announced their relationship, they held a grand engagement ceremony in Nadeem City. They even invited the mass media to the event.Universal Channel even reported the happy news in prime time. The marriage of the chief and top anchor of the company was a good story. The ceremony was done with great pomp.Sienna shared a few status updates across her social media platforms. She was reporting live on the situation and even earned some exposure from this.Luna spent many years and finally became the chief's official wife. This inspired Sienna a lot. She saw a glimmer of hope for her future. Dave Golding was unreliable. He was rich, but he was stingy at giving her pocket money.Luna snorted at Sienna’s complaints and said, "A man’s wealth isn’t the most important thing. He has to be willing to spend on you. If he’s crazily rich but unwilling to spend even ten thousand dollars on you, what’s the use of it? It’s normal for men to crave women’s beauty while
Why was everyone so lovey-dovey around her?! What was going on with the world?!In a fit of rage, Sage went to the company to hide. Although Jace was back, she remained the CEO of the Yuriel Group. She had a lot of work to do.After two meetings and signing many documents, Sage looked at the pile of unfinished work and had a big headache. She took out her phone and called a certain someone."Hey, Sage." Jace's voice was warm and slightly cheery.Sage's mood got slightly better after listening to his voice. "What are you doing?" Jace said, "I'm fishing with Yoel at the reservoir.""Fishing?" Sage got annoyed again. "I'm working hard for you right here, and you're fishing?""Uh… Don't be mad. I'll stop fishing. Boss, what can I help?" Jace immediately put down the fishing rod in his hand and stood up.Yoel looked at him gleefully. He thought with a contemptuous look, 'Tsk, tsk. He has become cowardly. Where did the arrogant Mister Jace go?'"Send me the location. I'll come to y
Soon after the engagement ceremony, Luna took the chance and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Lucas to get a marriage license.She wanted to show off her marriage license and make a big hit, but she did not expect that Sage would take over the number one hot search on this day.Samantha's interview with her was edited and released in advance. This was the first time Sage had accepted an interview. In the interview, she officially responded to the photo incident that had been going around the internet, which had caused a lot of controversies."It's out! It's out! Hurry up!"Sage wanted to sleep in for the long weekend, but her brothers woke her up. Primrose and Sawyer led everyone to the living room and sat on the sofa or chairs. Everyone was watching the talk show with various snacks, including nuts and fruits, on the table.When Sage saw herself on TV, she felt embarrassed and wanted to leave."Oh, I've seen it all. I don't want to watch it again. I'm going back to sleep.
"Where's Tim? Is he out?"Luther munched on the nut and said, "He left early in the morning. I think he's meeting Yale.""Oh." Sage thought it had been a long time since she saw Yale. Yale was still staying in room 88 in Skye Hotel. When Time came, they started drinking in the middle of the day and played Sage's interview on the TV."What are you doing here? Why are you not watching it at home?" Yale glanced at Tim and handed him a glass of whiskey on the rocks.Tim took the glass and had a sip. He said slowly, "I came here to say hello to a lonely man."Yale choked a little and said, "Am I the lonely man? Am I not the same as you?" They sat on the sofa and watched TV together. On the screen, the host asked Sage, "I heard you were in a plane crash?""Yes." Sage looked calm in front of the camera. She talked about the plane crash on flight Y1006 that shocked the world. "Thank you so much to the captain, the co-captain, and the crew on the flight that day. They were very profe
Samantha's interview with Sage was so popular that it soon surpassed over one million views on the website.Tasteful Restaurant was in the news and hot searches. People were surprised to find out that Sage owned Tasteful Restaurant!In the show, Sage even showed off her cooking skills and made authentic Italian dishes. It made the netizens hungry…After the talk show was released, the queue at Taste Restaurant became so long. It formed a rather spectacular scene at Bridge Lane and made the news again.Sage almost made a formal response regarding the photo incident on the internet. She talked about her kidnapping experience.The audience finally understood where those photos came from. They did not think the eldest lady from a prestigious family would experience such a tragic experience unknown to the world. Sage was very calm in front of the camera. The calmer she was, the more shocking it was to see the photos of her kidnapping in the show again.The live comments were all heart
Grandma Yuriel clapped her hand. "Think about it. How come you save Sage and not any random person?"Grandpa Yuriel also said, "I really think it was a wise decision to send you to the army to be a soldier. You wouldn't have the chance to rescue Sage if you didn't become a special force army. Then Sage would become someone else's wife. God has his own plan. Both of you are destined to be together!"The sudden changes in the atmosphere caught Jace by surprise. He was speechless with everyone's reaction. At first, he thought everyone was feeling bad and sorry for him, but the truth was they were all feeling lucky because he was hurt and that created a chance for him to save Sage. 'Yeap, they are my family.'Freya said. "I don't care. Both of you have had a similar experience. Both of you knew the feeling of being alive after a close encounter with death. There's nothing else you can't solve once both of you have experienced life and death together. Think about how many people would ac
"We come to share your happiness." Jace smiled gently and said to Sage, "You look very beautiful today."Sage was wearing a sapphire blue velvet-wrapped dress today. She tied her hair up into a high ponytail that emphasized the beauty of her long and straight neck, toned and lean shoulder, and collarbone. Other than a pair of pearl earrings, she did not wear any other jewelry. Despite that, she looked like she was glowing like a princess from fairy tales, so elegant and noble.Since she arrived at the celebration party, she has received numerous compliments. However, a woman would never reject any compliments she received. Thus she accepted the compliment from Jace happily, "Thank you."Yoel disagreed and said, "Geez. You really don't know how to socialize. Sage is always so beautiful."Jace gave Yoel a disdainful look. "Yes, you know it very well.""Of course," Yoel gloated. Then he looked at Jace and Sage again, "Oh my. Someone is wearing a blue color suit too. Did you both do i
Yoel furrowed her brow and suddenly became unhappy. 'This girl! It was just a few days that we had not seen each other, and here she was drooling over another guy and abandoning me! How dare she say I'm the playboy when she was the one who keeps changing her target?'In the meantime, he approached Melody and purposely pretended to slip as he accidentally poured his glass of champagne onto Melody's back. Luckily Dean saw it and quickly protected her, "Be careful."As a result, the glass tilted in another direction and fell on Dean instead."Oh no, I'm sorry." There was no slightest hint of sincerity in Yoel's apology.Melody quickly pulled out a few pieces of tissue to wipe Dean's clothes. "Your clothing is dirty. Are you alright, Dean?""It's ok. This is waterproof material. I just need to wash it off in the washroom," Dean said lightly and headed to the washroom by himself.Once Dean left, Melody looked sternly at Yoel. "Yoel! Are you really that bored? Do you need to keep looki
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
'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. Jace did not want to wake her up, so he did not carry her to the bathroom and bathe her. Instead, he wet the towel with hot water to

There were several hot searches about the national team's victory. The topic #RisingStarJim made the headlines too.Sage had lost her usual composure. She was following the fans and shouting wildly, cheering for the victory.Perhaps this was the power of sports. It made the audience exhilarated and trembling with excitement. Jace looked calm on the outside, but he was actually quite excited on the inside.Sage was cheering in excitement. She jumped up and down like a child while hugging Jace. Jace followed and laughed with her too.They were planning to leave after the game, but Sage was really happy and stayed for the team's celebration party. Sage even asked Jim for his teammates' shoe sizes and
"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.
The next morning, Sage, Jace, and Dean went to the basketball arena for the World Championships after breakfast.It was the men's basketball world championship, where their country's basketball team was up against another country. By the time they got to the arena, many people were in the audience.The staff guided Sage and the group to their designated seat in the family section.As soon as Dean sat down, someone next to him called out his name. Dean seemed unsurprised by this. He even smiled and waved at them. After that, he gestured for them to be polite and silent. It was not Dean's first time watching his younger brother's basketball game live. Many of his fans knew that Dean's younger brother was playing on the national team. They especially came over to get closer to him. Some were Jim's fans too. They knew Dean was Jim's brother, so they would greet him.After listening to Dean's explanation, Sage's businessman side as the owner of Norah Entertainment appeared again."If
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. Sage and Jace lay flat on the bed after laughing nonstop. They opened up and improved their intimacy so much. As a result, their whole body and mind were very relaxed tonight. "Hey..." 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
